Top 14 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Central City, Phoenix

Laura Manning

Highly recommend this place for their food and for all the gluten free options! 95% of the menu is gluten free, our server was really knowledgeable about Celiac, and was really accommodating. 5 star food!

This place is really chill and offers great food and service. The pancakes are amazing and come with real maple syrup. The Denver Omelette hit the spot and they had plenty of gluten free options.

Sunday night birthday party of 6. Had a reservation and were seated immediately. Sat in an oversized booth that held six people nicely. However, the padded bench on the side I was seated on had an issue. The springs underneath my butt were busted. I sat in a hole for the entire evening and left with a backache. The concrete brick wall behind us was avoid of any art. All our birthday pics look like we took them from a jail cell. Our waitress was very good at her job. She took care of us well. They have a great selection of whiskey. However many were sold out. Ordered a charcuterie app which was missing the bacon wrapped dates. Food was sold out as well. Some of us had to order our second choices due to this reason. My wings were tossed in a very strange, burned sauce. Each bite left a nasty burned taste in my mouth. Others at the table agreed. It was just disappointing. Also be aware there are no gluten free desserts here. Kinda sad since we had a person in our party with gluten issues. Guess we should have doubled checked their menu before making the reservation. We saw gf meals and made the reservation. Should have glanced at the desserts, since it was the birthday guest who had gf issues and no gf dessert. :( Also we overstayed our parking validation. So even though we had our parking ticket validated by the nice server, we stayed 25 mins longer than allowed. Ended up paying for parking as well even with it being validated.

Beware if you are celiac, although this restaurant offers a gluten free bun they cross contact with regular buns and the burgers. They are not celiac safe.

We went here for our anniversary and could have been happier. The flavors were truly unique, and they had some of the most unique cocktails we’ve ever experienced. Also, the molè was amazing; so much so my wife who is typically no fan of molè, was happily eating it as we enjoyed our meal. The yucca frites and marrow were to die for! Excellent gluten free options. We will definitely be back!

The vibe of this place is so fun and truly welcoming. We ate indoors, but the outdoor space is charming, especially when days or evenings are cool. Service was perfect -- not overbearing but not neglectful. Prices are good considering that portion sizes are HUGE. I have to eat gluten-free and while there aren't a ton of options, the ones that exist are good. I got roasted Brussels sprouts as an app to share with two others -- we had plenty. I also got pulled pork fries. I do wish there was a tiny bit more pork, but the flavor was outstanding and, again, portion size was huge. I ate about 2/3 and my son polished off the rest. I also had an Old Fashioned which was OK-only. Square ice cube, but it was cloudy and while I don't like my drinks sweet, this one wasn't sweet enough. Still, that wasn't enough to make me regret my experience. I don't live in Phoenix (I used to) but I have family there and I will definitely return to the Welcome Diner.

Good for what it is! Popped in for a quick lunch. Servers were friendly and kind. Food arrived fast. Really wish they offered a gluten free bread/bun option but the "Adam & Eve" treatment for the burger wasn't bad (enough lettuce for a salad!). The burger was tasty and the lemonade did not disappoint. Next time I'm going for the chips and deviled eggs!

Great food, large portions, gluten-free pancakes. Best staff ever

D. Francis

Gluten-free, one the best places to eat at the airport for breakfast, plan on standing in line for a bit, but worth the wait. My server was helpful and did her best for being short staffed.

Sandra Jackson

Honestly, this was a little slice of heaven on a crazy day. The food was incredible. Well-balanced flavors that were luxurious and comforting. I have a serious gluten allergy, and the kitchen manager personally took the time to discuss food options and then alerted his staff of my situation. My waiter was also delightful and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone, especially because the prices are extremely reasonable.

I felt personally cared for throughout my experience at Wildflower. Wonderful service and delicious vegan and gluten free food. Thank you guys!

Joanne Landry

Enjoyed my meal but not many gluten free or dairy free options.

We went for our 1st wedding anniversary and everything was just amazing. The food was fantastic, the cocktails were superb, and the service was so nice. I loved that the GF food was labeled since I have a gluten allergy. We will be coming back every year for our anniversary dinner.

Jeremiah Cicero

My wife and I thought we knew most of the fantastic restaurants to dine at that are gluten free friendly (for her), but I can have all the gluten I want. I am almost embarrassed that we didn’t know this spot. It was definitely a gem, great food and drinks, great service, and a fantastic atmosphere. We will be returning very soon.
