Top 15 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Gainesville

Smaller Metro than some others I have been in so the menu is a bit more limited. Most importantly for us is the availability of meals that are gluten free. There is a separate menu making things easy for those with a celiac medical condition. Enjoyed their steak sandwich. My partner enjoyed an excellent chicken salad on a GF bun. Waitress was wonderful. Decor is simple as you would expect in a local, stripmall eatery. Clean with good food. Metro's chain has not let us down.

Love Bolay!!! So excited they opened a location on this side of town! The food is yummy and fresh. No one in my family complains about eating gluten free when we're eating at Bolay 🤩😎

Excellent food. Loved the waffles with peach compote and the eggs had a perfect consistency!! Our waitress was amazing too wish I knew her name but she was super friendly and nice. They also had gluten free options and vegan options. We will definetly be back.

Another great hamburger here at Culver's if you need a gluten-free bun they have it not a problem at all

Amazing experience. We are here for NYE dinner and it was perfect. For some weird reason, it wasn’t very busy, which we loved. But based on our experience, we shouldn’t have have been able to get a seat that night. The food was impeccable. Absolutely delicious and thoughtfully made. Incredibly accommodating to our gluten and dairy allergies. Even with the allergy limitations, we had a lot of options. Service was excellent. Attentive but not overbearing. A 10 out of 5 experience. It was a little hard to figure out how to get to them but now that we know, we will be regulars!

One Love Café is a laid‑back, open‑air spot tucked into Magnolia Parke Plaza in northwest Gainesville. They’re open Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays), serving up breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunches with bottomless mimosas, bellinis, and Bloody Marys. The ever‑rotating menu of farm‑fresh, locally sourced American handhelds, burgers, salads, and seasonal specials caters to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten‑free diets, and the full bar pours everything from craft cocktails to a solid beer and wine list. Come for karaoke on Tuesdays, Jazz in the Parke every Wednesday, live music Thursday through Sunday—and soak it all in under a canopy of string lights, around a fire pit, or out on the sprawling, kid‑ and dog‑friendly field. Here’s the inside scoop: One Love tends to get slammed on weekends—especially Fridays and Saturdays—so service can slow down a bit when they’re really busy. Thankfully, that shipping‑container bar out front has helped speed up drink lines big time. If you want a primo spot (think fire‑pit front row or a comfy Adirondack chair), roll in right when they open or at least early enough to snag a table. I always tote a blanket and a folding chair to stake out my territory on the grass. And don’t sleep on happy hour—swing by from 3–5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday for buy‑one‑get‑one half‑off drinks. It’s the perfect little pick‑me‑up or pre‑game ritual.

Great experience! I loved that our waiter new what it meant to be gluten free (my husband has siliac so it was very important to us!) Or waiter was very polite! We even got a free mac n cheese!

Super disappointing that they removed gluten free indicator from the menu, but left vegan. There are plenty of GF possibilities that can be offered based on the current menu. Super cool atmosphere, the servers are usually awesome, stick with beer or wine, the mixed drinks are mid.

Awesome meal and drinks, frendly and helpful staff. Gluten free options.

We had a very lovely meal, there was no wait at the time. The restaurant was very busy, food was coming out in a very timely manner. Our server was very wonderful and attentive. The food was really nice, but slightly lacking. My daughter got the chocolate chip pancake and it was wonderful. My girlfriend got an omelette with gluten free toast and home fries. It was nice but the home fries lacked any seasoning and she said that they were quite bland. It was very nice to see a lot of gluten free options for her since she's allergic. I had the chicken and waffles. They were nice, but the chicken seemed to be lacking, either a 3rd piece would have been great, or thicker pieces of chicken. There was more breading than meat. The Cajun syrup could also use some pop to it, it was marginally seasoned vs normal syrup. The blueberry butter was excellent. Overall we had a wonderful meal and we were very happy with the experience.

We love coming here for Trivia we've been here every week since Christmas!! Tonight I was super impressed with our waiter Quade who was incredibly attentive to our tables dietary needs, (one vegetarian and one Gluten Free) quick on the draw with refills and was unfailingly positive when we asked 1000 questions about the food and possible cross contamination!! Really nice guy.

Got a gluten free salad, gave me a rash, but tasted really good !!

Patricia Moore

Although there aren't too many gluten free options on the menu. What is on the menu is always fresh and delicious. 😋 typically greeted with someone friendly and the coffee options are always good too.
