Top 10 Gluten-Free American Diners to Enjoy in Schaumburg

My experience was great for the most part. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable; the atmosphere was lively and fun; the bathrooms were clean; and the food and cocktails were fantastic. I chose Wildfire because our friend has Celiac, so I wanted her to have gluten-free options. She was pleasantly surprised that their gluten-free menu was so long. She said she was used to only having a few choices. The server also offered her gluten-free bread. So if you or someone you know has Celiac disease, this restaurant is a great choice. Just about everything took longer to make it to our table than most restaurants I’ve been to within the last few years. It wasn’t a horrible wait, but it was noticeable. Because of this, our server wasn’t around much. There were several times when I wanted to ask our server about another appetizer or another drink, but she never came by. That’s the only reason I took off one star—that, and the sneaky 3% they add to the check to offset costs. Yes, you can ask them to remove it, but it’s not like this restaurant is super cheap anyway. Why not add the 3% to the food in general if you’re struggling as a business? Regardless, I would definitely return.

They do it right. Gluten free, dairy free not a problem. Gf lavosh and hummus appetizer is outstanding. Scallops and chicken tasty and well executed. And they are consistent from visit to visit. If the grilled artichoke app had about a third more hummus for all the goodies that you get it’d be the perfect appetizer.

This is my favorite restaurant to get GF food. I order & visit here more than anywhere else. I order via phone, have it marked appropriately & they have NEVER made me sick. Their management has trained their kitchen staff very well. Don’t be nervous ordering if the person answering the phone takes awhile placing the order. They’re trying to get it perfect. All restaurants in this area of high turnover rate. The servers, kitchen staff, & management is the BEST I’ve found. They will take care of you.

City Works is the perfect spot for our get together lunch with long-time friends. Easy reservation for our group of 7. Great atmosphere to visit. The food and service was PHENOMENAL! We all ordered something different and every single one of us loved our meal! Tyler, our server, took the very best care of us including special orders for dietary restrictions. (I need to eat gluten and dairy free. Tyler even made sure that my food was prepped separately.) We have made City Works our spot to meet up!

Got a gluten-free and dairy-free pancake from here and it was very dry and not tasty at all. I didn't even eat half of it and still got charged full price at that my food wasn't hot at all. The waiter wanted to remake it and I told her it wasn't needed and asked her how she would feel if she couldn't get a discount on a meal she was not satisfied with. She didn't answer but to respond she can't discount the meal and would have to make a call for it and I declined to do that and paid for my meal and left. Never will come here for breakfast again!!

Not sure who said they have a bunch of GF options because it’s definitely limited to omelette and salads but nice staff. The huevos rancheros weren’t even able to be made with corn tortillas so I got scrambled eggs instead when the food came out. Wouldn’t recommend unless you want a decent cup of coffee and a salad (large salad menu). Cross contamination is definitely going to to be an issue.

Amazing gluten free bun and dedicated fryer! Staff was very knowledgeable about Celiac and accommodations.

We were a little disappointed by the very small gluten-free menu but with a little help from our server Kevin were were able to modify the prime rib sandwich and it turned out amazing.
