Top 20 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Marietta

I've been in Metro Atlanta long enough to remember the very first Mellow Mushroom, and out of a variety of literally hundreds of their pizzas from several of their locations, I haven't had a bad pie even once. If you're used to eating pizzas from nationwide chains, you're going to be in for a treat! If you have a local, non-chain pizzeria where you usually order, you're also going to be in for a treat! This crust is crisp and crusty in the center of the pie and the outside crust is crispy on the outside and spongy on the inside just like it the perfect pizza's crust should be! (I'm not talking to you Chicago pie fans-lol!). It has the right amount of lightly charred areas and they must have the absolute best pizza ovens in Metro Atlanta! The red sauce is just right. They know exactly the right amount to put on as you know it's there and it enhances the taste of each bite, but it isn't so overpowering that it takes away from the flavors of the toppings ! The toppings! They use fresh toppings that they must prep each day because they're always so fresh. I love mushrooms and they have both fresh white buttons AND fresh baby portobellos! Their meats are high quality and so, so much better than the usual chain pizza stores. While I usually like to order a custom pizza to my specifications, I have tried several of their House special pizzas. If you're a fan of a West Coast chain's BBQ Chicken w/red onion pizzas, you have to try MM:s Funky Chicken. It'll become your go-to and you'll soon forget about cpk. Seriously! They don't offer delivery directly through them, but they are available on UEats. They have salads available and each type comes with the same fresh veggies they use to top their pizzas. They have a variety of high quality dressings and the apple vinaigrette is delicious to me and I'm usually a creamy-only person. If you or someone or people you're dining with are vegans, THIS is one of the few places, especially in the suburbs, that has pure vegan options! No more asking to omit the mozzarella because MM has VEGAN cheese! They offer a gluten-free crust option, on all sizes, as well. I have not tried the GF crust and cannot offer input. They have pizzas of several sizes and can accommodate one for a family down to individual pizzas (perfect for one or great for two to share w/ a salad or appetizer). They do have wings, but I cannot comment as I've not had those, but they offer mild, hot, Thai chili or naked AND offer regular, crispy or extra crispy. You can get mixed, all drums or all flats. Wings come with celery, carrots, and blue cheese, ranch or both. This is quite literally the best pizza In/Outside the perimeter, and honestly, they could charge substantially more for the pizzas they serve. I know MM will not disappoint! EDIT: The day I wrote the above review, it made my mouth water and I decided to order MM thru Uber. I completely changed my usual small pizza w/a salad and instead, went w/an order of "pizza bites" w/Beer cheese and red sauces for dipping. I figured if they were anything like their pizza crusts, they had to be great! (EDIT: their pizza bites are DELICIOUS . Literally , better than anywhere else! They must have a pizza oven that gets incredibly hot! The Beer cheese sauce that comes with them is very cheddar-y. I don't usually like "runny cheese" like nacho cheese at movie theaters, but this is not movie theater cheese. It's actually quite yummy. There's an option to have both a side of the beer cheese and the red pizza sauce -- get both!! They dust the side of red pizza 3w/parmesan. I'm eating these pizza nuggets as I type. I'm so pleased I ordered them!!? I will update in a day or two for the wings: In addition to the pizza bites, I also ordered 10 wings. MM provides an option to sit the wings into 5 + 5, meaning I was able to request 5 naked, extra crispy and 5 Thai chili extra crispy. I'll be back soon with a wing review? The wings are fantastic! I like extra crispy wings, & they were STILL CRISPY even w/Thai Chili sauce on them! GREAT WINGS!

What an incredible gem nestled in the heart of Marietta! This restaurant truly stands out for its exceptional attention to detail and commitment to guest safety and satisfaction. First and foremost, they offer a dedicated gluten-free menu and take food allergies very seriously. For anyone with dietary restrictions or concerns, this establishment goes above and beyond to create a safe and accommodating dining experience. It’s clear that they prioritize their guests’ well-being, which is both comforting and impressive. The service has been consistently outstanding across my visits. I’ve dined here four times, each with a different server, and every single one provided attentive, friendly, and professional service. It’s rare to find such consistency in hospitality, and it’s a testament to the quality of their team. As for the food, it’s nothing short of amazing! Pictured here is the waffle board from their brunch menu, and it’s absolutely fantastic—a perfect combination of presentation and flavor that makes for a memorable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that combines delicious food, thoughtful accommodations for dietary needs, and excellent service, this spot is an absolute must-visit. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Celiacs beware!! I visited this restaurant for the first time last Friday in the hopes of enjoying some yummy GF pasta. I'm allergic to both wheat and gluten so I don't eat pasta often, however I saw signage on store front offering Gluten Free options - excited to try it out I went inside and spoke with someone in food prep. I asked the young woman preparing my food what they use in their GF noodles (rice, corn, garbanzo, etc.) and she did not know nor did she care to find out. Against my better judgement, I still proceeded to order because frankly I was hungry. Once my order was ready, I asked the person in food prep again, (just to be sure) that my order was in fact GF. She replied that it was and how she made sure to use the GF noodles for my meal. Unfortunately, it was not GF, and I was sick most of the night (I ate dinner around 4pm that day). I will never return to this restaurant and I would strongly advise other Celiacs to stay away.

We came here because of their Gluten Free options. Food tasted very good. The Service was great too and it was not crowded. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the table and chairs were a little sticky. But a good experience in general.

I love coming here after 5pm to get a baked potato. They are so salty and delicious, plus paired with a bison burger- how can you go wrong? I love that they take care with their dietary restriction customers. I ask for gluten free buns and they always bring it out right I feel confident they make it safe for me to eat. Overall I highly recommend!

My husband got me a birthday cake from here it was absolutely AMAZING! It was a gluten free strawberry cake and I loved it so much. One of the best gluten free cakes I've ever tasted, I recommend this place so much. Thanks for accommodating are request, it's very hard to find gluten free cakes around here. Also Megan did a beautiful job, the cake was so cute and delicious!

Such good gluten free tacos and fun menu!

Christine Homoki

This place has been here forever! Authentic Mexican with friendly servers. The food is always good and they have corn tortillas and chips for those of us who are gluten free!

Marlow's Tavern is in a great location near a theater and othe shops and restaurants. Great for lunch or dinner. Nice menu with a full list of gluten free items. Busy and easy to have a conversation with companions.

Bill Wong

A classic NJ diner in GA! Huge portions of food and tasty. We did Chicken and Waffles along with Cheese Ravioli and Grilled Chicken in Alfredo Sauce. Lots of gluten free options

Lexi Haverly

Delicious and very easy to eat gluten free

Took over 10 minutes for someone to come to our table and the place was empty. Order gluten free carnitas tacos and they put them on flour tortilla also they were very salty.

Lior Seidel

GF burger and fries (dedicated fryer!)

The food was delicious, and Junior was very kind. The whole experience would have been 5 stars if it weren't for Junior being there by himself. He had the BEST attitude and was so helpful when I called in my order and requested a gluten free setting. However, a whole restaurant on one guy is not fair. He deserves better, and doing it all with a smile is even rarer! I hope management finds more staffing so Junior has some help. Junior deserves financial accolades in exchange for his hard work and his compassion. Great experience with him, clean atmosphere, I just hope when I'm back, Junior is not the only one running the place. Thank you Junior for your hard work!

I love this restaurant/bar! Everyone is super nice and attentive, and all the food I have tried is great, I mean who doesn't love balls of fried pimento cheese with hot sauce and maple syrup on top! I am gluten intolerant and no issues. The drinks, wine, whiskey selection -- all great. Cozy spot to hang out a while!

We had dinner reservations for 6 PM. We were seated at a high top table booth in the bar of a more empty than not restaurant. My husband and I are very tall and I felt like I was eating off a table top at my neck. Plus we have long legs and we joked that we were in leg jail with all the metal poles supporting the bar top preventing us any comfort. Our entrees arrived promptly and were mediocre. I appreciate dining out because I so often prepare farm fresh meals at home so its nice to enjoy a meal prepared by someone else. My short rib entree was fair but I did think my mashed potatoes were Costco Main St and for a $35 entree I was very unimpressed. The highlight of our dinner were my husbands fries which I did not eat because I am Celiac. Oh about that. They use GF on the menu which is why we wanted to try this restaurant. American servers have a learning curve to get through to understand you don’t need to ask someone who orders GF if they have celiac. Yes I have an autoimmune disease which compromises my day to day living but the server need not ask me those details ie is it celiac. A server is not a nurse nor do they need to manage my food choices. I guarantee I know what choices I am making as this is my life living with an auto immune disease. Just like someone with a heart condition who asks for light salt isn’t asked if the have high blood pressure or cancer. When it was time to leave we extracted our legs from leg jail and walked by the dining room with dining tables and chairs many of which were still unseated I knew this was the last time I’d visit Seed. Dinner reservations require seating guests at a dining table not an uncomfortable bar top. And if I order GF entree just say ok. Don’t warn me not to eat the fries its hard enough as it is knowing i cant take that risk. If I ask if I can eat the fries thats different.

Myles was awesome! I'm not lying when I say this, I said, "I need napkins," and immediately after saying it, the napkins magically appeared. He's a mind reader. Also, if you are gluten-free, they have the chips for you. Just make sure to ask. Great service and food, I'm here almost weekly.
