Top 15 Gluten-Free American Spots to Enjoy in Honolulu

After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

Great gluten free burgers and buns. I use to love to go here for the dedicated gluten free fryer. However, on my last visit, that changed. The fries are now made in a shared fryer. But the burgers, wings and salads are amazing!

Laura Foster

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

We ate here on two different nights. Tristan and Zac were our servers and helped us navigate gluten-free options. They were both excellent and did a great job.

Christine Smith

Gluten free pancakes were amazing, great service too!

Jess Gunn

Absolutely loved our meal here! I have celiac disease and our server Nico was extremely knowledgeable about options that would be safe for me. I got the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and it was devine! I would highly recommend dining here, especially if you are celiac or gluten intolerant!

July 2023 I made a reservation for 6pm on my honeymoon. ◯Meat For my main dish, I chose Porterhouse steak. During my stay, I went to another famous steak restaurant, and the meat at Ruth's was not only delicious, but the seasoning was relatively well-seasoned, and I could feel the restaurant's commitment to it. ◯Service The inside of the store has a calm atmosphere and a special feeling. We prepared a plate to celebrate our honeymoon. A separate gluten-free menu was available. It is also recommended for people with wheat allergies.

You can choose as you like. You can also order your favorite burger. This time I made a gluten-free teriyaki burger 🍔🍟🥤 You can also choose how well the patty is cooked. If you don't like red, try medium rare. Because it's quite rare Well done might be fine! The shake is not sweet either And above all, the staff Extremely kind We shared one burger. They cut it neatly and divided it into pieces. Are you okay forever? Are you okay? delicious? Can you go? He asked me 😊 Potato 🍟 is also super delicious 🍟

So Ono! Allergy aware (well noted gluten free options) and super friendly. Big variety. Enjoyed by all in my group.

Everyone in our party loved their food. The waiter and kitchen were super accommodating with those at our table who needed gluten free options. The area is lively and fun. Definitely recommend!

No frills restaurant with very good food, staff was very knowledgable and able to cater for our coeliac daughter (which we found to be a struggle in other restaurants around Waikiki). Food was lovely, great place for a quick meal.

From someone who NEVER writes reviews... When you pair great taste with a waiter who was on top of his game, It makes for a great meal and what would be our normal go to for dinner out if we were locals! The great service started with Tony being extremely knowledgeable of celiac disease to the point of understanding cross contamination and being able to tell us which foods to avoid because of it! Not something we're used to back home. We ordered the Guava BBQ St Louis style ribs. They substituted the fries for garlic mashed without us even having to ask. The flavor of this sauce if you love a sweet sauce this one has an amazing flavor and has no spice/kick to it. Unfortunately the rack that was brought wasn't the greatest of quality of meat. We didn't ask for or expect anything to be done, we even turned down the replacement that was offered. Before we knew it, either the owner or manager was at the table insisting on making up for the toughness of the ribs. He had another half rack brought out and they were amazing.

Jenne Acevedo

Great find during our self driving tour. Large savory and sweet crepes in regular or gluten free (buckwheat flour). Both made on the same griddle though. Enjoy if you are not super sensitive. Coffee, smoothies, and more. Order at the counter, and they bring it to you. Little place, not fancy, quick service.

Bridget Thorp

We were already excited about this resteraunt for the food, but it was the service that really blew us away. We had a few dietary restrictions in our group and they were wickedly accommodating, bringing a number of alternatives for our gluten free member and triple checking dishes for the mint. Chris was friendly and attentive and knew so much. Definitely go for the fish and specials, but we loved everything. Thanks for a wonderful Anniversary, Fete!

I came to the store on the bus number 2 after KCC market on Saturday. It was crowded with locals and tourists from mainland America, but we were able to be guided right away. The staff worked very efficiently, and everyone was friendly and nice! The breakfast menu is very different from Denny's in Japan. This chain store is very nostalgic for people who have studied abroad in the United States. Overall, the menu is hearty, but for those over 55 years old, there is a menu with slightly smaller portions. There is also a gluten-free menu. I-Hop has gluten-free pancakes, but Denny's doesn't have gluten-free pancakes. I'm just grateful that it's displayed. The egg scramble had lots of cheese and was delicious. Of course you can get refills of hot coffee. The restroom was also clean and I used it.

A real tasty, classy place. Had some business in Chinatown, finished early and decided to stop in for a drink and a pupu which became a couple drinks and a 4 course dinner. What a treat. Our server Desmond, was most attentive and helpful, it was fun eating in the atrium of the Tower and the food was oh so good. The menu included good gluten free options, both in number and taste. Felt like a European eating experience, will return with guests for sure.

Phillip Wheeler

Celiac/Gluten free friendly.

Logan Morris

Delicious tamales and gluten free too. Lots of other options if you don’t like tamales too.

**California Pizza Kitchen - Honolulu, Hawaii: A Surprising Disappointment** As frequent travelers, California Pizza Kitchen has always been a reliable go-to for us, especially since my wife is gluten-sensitive. Their gluten-free pizza options and fresh, creative salads have consistently made CPK a staple in our dining routine. However, our recent visit to the Honolulu location was the first time we left feeling less than satisfied. We were initially excited, as this stop at CPK has always been a highlight when traveling. The ambiance was as welcoming as ever, with the familiar open-kitchen vibe and friendly staff. We started with a salad, which was fresh and flavorful, just as we remembered. Unfortunately, the main event—the gluten-free pizza—didn’t live up to our expectations this time around. The gluten-free crust, usually a reliable choice, was lackluster, bordering on soggy rather than the crisp, light texture we've come to expect. The toppings, which are typically vibrant and full of flavor, seemed unevenly distributed and lacked the usual freshness. The overall experience with the pizza left us disappointed, especially given how consistent CPK has been for us in the past. To make matters worse, our order of **Buffalo Cauliflower** came out with only two small pieces of cauliflower on the plate. We immediately let our server know, and while she quickly apologized and took the dish back to the kitchen to be fixed, it was concerning that such an obvious mistake wasn’t caught before it reached our table. The dish was corrected, but it left us questioning the attention to detail in the kitchen. The manager did come by to address the issue, but his explanation was less than satisfying. He mentioned that they portion everything by weight, but when I asked how two tiny pieces could possibly meet their portion standards, he was unable to provide a clear answer. It felt more like an excuse than a genuine attempt to rectify the situation. It's worth noting that the service remained attentive, and the salad was still a hit, which helped salvage the experience somewhat. However, given how important the gluten-free pizza is for us, this visit fell short of the standard that CPK has set in our minds. We hope this was just an off night for the kitchen, as we've always held CPK in high regard. We’ll likely give it another chance on future trips, but this visit left us wishing for the consistency and quality we’ve come to associate with California Pizza Kitchen.

My mom and I have been to Basalt restaurant several times during our two week stay in Hawaii, and each visit has been exceptional. The consistently amazing food, especially their gluten-free options, never fails to impress. The staff is not only friendly but also remarkably attentive, always making us feel welcomed and remembered. A five-star experience every time!

The server took a long time to get to us. And he had no personality. I ordered gluten-free pasta with sauce on the side and the pasta was burnt. And you could see the char marks on it. I don’t know why he served it to me that way. Anyways, he took it back and got me some new pasta. The salad is always good.

Rebecca Pell

Delicious! Great vegetarian and gluten free options (I hope they try to make gluten free pita in the future!). Professional and friendly staff. Sit outside for a nice breeze.

Cortney Sanders

Great place. Wish there were some gluten free options. But perfect way to start the day in Oahu

CJ

This place is not GF friendly and I don’t recommend it if you have any restrictions. I had read reviews saying it was and took a chance for the member of my party who has celiac. Our server was unsure of things and the manager she brought was rude and made it clear that serving us was an inconvenience rather than saying they weren’t able to accommodate. I was informed that the sausage/ham/bacon served here are coated in flour before being fried. I do not need GF food and the banana pancakes I got were good. The coffee was not.

Auridas Franckevičius

Taro burger is great as a gluten free option (ask for bun and fries on the side). Fries were too oily though.

Sara Scanlan

Great comfort food with several delicious gluten-free options. The pork chops!

Iris Melero

A beautiful place to have breakfast. The problem is that the website says they offer gluten-free pancakes and once there they told me I could only have eggs and sausages. My friends say it was good

Katherine Swanner

Wish there could be just a few options for gluten free, but still adorable and smells wonderul.

Had a good dinner this evening at Bibas. Curtis was our server tonight. I asked about Gluten Free options and he steered me to the Salmon without the sauce. It was very good. No complaints at all. We came as a party of 7 and everyone enjoyed all of their food, from the burger with a Bibas stamp on it, to the spaghetti and meatballs. All around a very enjoyable evening. Thank you.

Jonelle Miller

Incredible service and food. Waiter was extremely patient and helpful providing me with several gluten free options. Highly recommend!

Anna Quinn

The quietest breakfast spot in a tourist area. Wonderful gluten free waffle.

Nitia Cheveallier (Wolfdragon)

Didn’t have many Gluten Free options but if you have a little bit of know how you can get it to accommodate. My son ordered the Reese‘s pieces mania milkshake. Just without the cake. He had so much fun eating it, but couldn’t finish it. So much fun was had.
