Top 12 Gluten-Free American Spots to Enjoy in Sarasota

Brigit Kowalczyk

I have been gluten free for many years, and have a hard time trying to find food that is tasty. This place is amazing. From the appetizers to the wine to the desserts to the main menu and all of it...woooohooooo good. Are server Shane was fantastic! We will definitely be back!

100/10, absolutely excellent. Especially if you have Celiac and have to be gluten free -- they have GOT YOU. This is one of the largest gluten free menus I've ever been able to order from that wasn't a dedicated GF restaurant. We got the drunken shrimp, chicken risotto, and smores budino, and it was so good! There were five or six GF deserts I could've chosen too, which is unheard of. The gluten free bread alone won me over. It was so incredible, even my husband loved it. The wine is delicious -- we joined the wine club and got the seasonal dragonfruit sangria, as well as the white sangria. Highly recommend!! Bonita at the wine tasting bar took care of us, she has the best personality and laugh, such a joy. 🥰 Give this woman a raise! Also Casey W, our waitress, for the great service and taking care of my GF needs. We had such a great experience, we definitely recommend. Top 3 restaurant in the Tampa/St. Pete/Saraota area for us.

We had a bunch of food allergies at the table and the manager was really nice and gave us a bunch of options. He was also able to modify the gluten free and vegan options to include meat easily.

Our server Ashley was great! She was great with our son and very attentive even though it was really busy. The food is great, the kids meal is a great value and great quality. Love that they have gluten-free and dairy free options (except dessert 😞) Love that the menu changes with the season too. It's super busy on the weekend, they should open one closer to Parrish

Restaurant right on the water with lots of covered and not-covered seats. You can sit and enjoy all the boats going by. It gets busy so expect a bit of a wait, but you can grab a drink from the bar and wait at the picnic tables by the dock. The staff was super friendly, and the food was good. The Cesar salad with Mahi was ok, not great, but the veggie burger was really tasty. And they have gluten free burger buns.

As much as I love Culver's, recently I've been having a major problem as I have to be gluten-free. They forgot about half of my order like the toppings I've ordered and then they forget the condiments. Their food is delicious though that's why I keep going back

Great place to stop when heading home from Venice. Always a great meal and Gluten free bun option.

JB Ackley

Call ahead if it’s dinner time. The food is worth the wait. Descent beer selection and a lot of food options. The menu clearly states what can be accommodated as gluten free.

In the past decade we have visited Libby's countless times and always been relatively pleased. In recent years, my mother and I were diagnosed with gluten and lactose allergies. We were excited to find Libby's on a GF guide and to return to the restaurant, however we were disappointed by our visit. The first thing we noticed is that there were no allergens listed on the menu. This was surprising given Florida's Food Allergy Awareness Act. Interestingly enough, they did list gluten free pasta as a substitute for regular pasta. We attempted to figure out which dishes were gluten free but our waitress was unable to provide concrete answers, even when returning from asking the kitchen. You would think that there would be a gluten free pasta sauce available given that you can order GF pasta but you would be wrong. None of the sauces were gluten free and neither were any of the other dishes on the menu. The only food option we were presented with was the marinara sauce from the spaghetti and meatballs dish. Of course, without the meatballs since those are made with breadcrumbs. If there were any other GF options, our waitress was unable to appropriately communicate this. We decided to end our dining experience early since two of our three diners were unable to find anything on the menu to accommodate their dietary needs. In an age where dietary restrictions are becoming more common, it's a shame to see a prominent restaurant like Libby's close the door to the massive community of this kind.

Food was ok. Not what i hoped for. The menu sounds delish. I read online that they had Gluten free options. Essentially it is there regular food but without bun or tortilla. My server was Medicore she was here to to the job and nothing more, but maybe it was an off day. We all have those. Atmosphere was great. Love music outside. I did sit inside but they have all the doors open so you still get the outside vibe.

My wife has celiacs which can make finding a decent meal hard when traveling for work. We found this pizza shop just down the road from our AirBNB and what a gem! The pizza was fresh and delicious and the gluten free options were as good as we've ever tasted. The folks were also super polite and it's clear this is a labor of love. We'll definitely be back before leaving town!

Aimee Tillaart

Circo hands down has the Best Tacos in town! Every option you can think of. Also gluten free and vegetarian friendly. By far the Best Crispy Tofu taco I've ever had!

Dalton

Zucchini fries and Brussels sprouts are spot on for taste and being light. Gluten free flatbread was perfect. One of the best Cuban sandwiches we have ever tasted! Staff were so friendly and helpful.

The atmosphere .The bartender, the food, and the drinks were all phenomenal Fourth time there this year . The gluten-free chocolate cake was to die for. And the person I went with was the best time of all💙💙

Malin Parker

I really want to like Culver's. They are one of the few places in town that are able offer a burger with a gluten-free bun where my wife knows she won't get sick. Nothing bad about the food, but I just like places where you can "taste the love" that goes into it.

Becca Marrah

So good! Stellar sandwiches for the whole family. Great service too, they’re so sweet. Even the Gluten Free bread was great. Will definitely be coming back for egg sandwiches and bloody mary’s.

Shannon Davis

I was pleasantly surprised that they have a gluten free menu. Given its a binder but it's well organized and easy to use. Also, they allowed me to swapped out spinach artichoke dip (has gluten) for the white queso and chips (no gluten) when we wanted the 2 for $20 at no extra cost. I'll definatly go back.

Had a part of 8 tonight and Luke did an awesome job! He was attentive and understanding of my food allergies. We enjoyed having him take care of us. Food was great as well! If you go- try the turmeric rice! Best rice I have EVER had. And it is gluten and dairy free. I let others try it and they agreed it was delicious!

Ashley Carlson

Food was absolutely amazing! This was The Hitman burger and let me tell you the flavor combo was perfection! We also had the Brussels and Cauliflower some of the best I’ve ever had! They even accommodated my friend who is gluten free! Service was outstanding and can’t wait to go try out more of the menu!

Shannon Davis

Consistantly good comfort food with gluten free options and good staff.

Mian Javaid, MD

This is a gem. Food selections for breakfast are great. GLUTEN free options and WHOLE FOOD PLANT base options. Food taste is great. Service is amazing. Our server was Gina with beautiful smile everyday and humble. She goes extra mile to provide the best service. A great asset to this restaurant.

I have passed by this place a hundred times and thought that it must be pretty decent to have been relatively new and still survived covid. It is also very unassuming, and I never would have guessed how big and beautiful it was on the inside. The staff and service was impeccable and also very personal. The calamari was some of the most delicious I have ever had with a very crispy almond flower coating and a light fresh and delicious chili lime sauce. We shared their version of a margarita pizza with fresh shiitake mushrooms and perfectly crispy and chewy handmade crust in their awesome wood fired oven! If I'm going to do pizza (and not gluten free), It better be amazing.... well it was an out-of-this-world garlicky cheesy tomato-ey experience! Well done!

J Malo

Decent sports bar. Gluten free buns available upon request

Becca Chin-Yee

Every time I’ve been to Wolfie’s I have come away fully satisfied. They have the BEST Reuben & their cakes are fantastic! Other faves include the latkes, stuffed cabbage, & hot pastrami sandwich. I loved that they can do gluten free bread with their sandwiches too!
