Top 40 Gluten-Free American Diners Across Maine

Jacqueline Loiseau

Amazing spot! The GF IPA was so good we went to buy some at the liquor store after dinner! My husband and I had the burger and pizza and would never guess they were both GF!

Very knowledgeable staff for allergies. I got the fish tacos and when I asked the waitress about switching the sauce from a dairy one she had an amazing recommendation! The tacos came as a rice bowl for GF and had an allergy notice indicated on my meal. Amazing place!

Becca Olach

Found a gluten free option for lobster roll, so happy we came here!

Lisa McComiskey

The food was good and it had many g/f options. My daughter is celiac and told the waitress many times before ordering that she has an allergy. They then brought her food on a non gluten free bun. The waitress said “my bad” which then left my daughter to eat alone because they had to remake her food . This leaves a bad taste in your mouth. She never apologized, nothing. I was very disappointed. If you have an allergy beware, they don’t take it seriously.

Wild Willy’s Burgers in York, Maine is a must try whenever you are up in this area. The menu is wonderful comfort food and incredibly fresh. With gluten free options, this restaurant is much more inviting than many other places. From March until early November, this is definitely one of our favorite restaurants every time we come up to York, Maine. Enjoy, Robert.

I was very excited to have a gluten-free bun for a lobster roll. Another person at the table loved the lobster poutine. Highly recommend!

I always order takeout here since my husband gets takeout at another restaurant nearby. The food has always been great! I like the food here because of the large gluten free menu. When I order seafood I always ask for the lunch size which is plenty for me. The last 3 times ordering I’ve paid for the dinner size and probably received dinner size, but ordered lunch size. This last time if my husband hadn’t verified if it was gluten free I would have had a meal I couldn’t eat. He had to wait an extra 10 minutes for a new batch. Again it was the dinner size which is fine, but not what I ordered. In the meantime his food he picked up was now cold. I recommend when ordering over the phone have them read your order back to you and verify the price. Also verify when picking up you get what you ordered especially if you have dietary restrictions. The online menu prices have not been updated for quite some time and are off by quite a bit. We requested a takeout menu to keep on hand.

The food was some of the best we have had in a while. The gluten free toast was amazing. Burger was great and cinnamon bun French toast was great! Highly recommend

I recommend getting lunch here. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun and it was good. Nothing to write home about, but the food is good and the patio is great.

Averyl Hill

Ordered for pick-up. They offer many gluten-free friendly options. The hostess who brought me my order was amazingly friendly and it was ready on time. The food was good but my fries weren't crispy as ordered.

Steve V

A local must dine! Huge menu, fantastic service, and a talented kitchen crew. From the front of the house through your meal, you feel like you're at home. Breakfast this time and my 3-egg omelet with hot sausage, cheddar, home fries, and toast were just right. The wife had egg beaters and gluten-free toast. This restaurant is Maine!

Kris Hanna

Lovely stop for a hearty breakfast, bring your appetite. The staff are super helpful and friendly. So many delicious choices on the menu. I’m gluten intolerant and they easily answer my questions. It’s always nice as a gf person to have multiple options to choose from. I had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. Heavy on the oils though and to be fair I prefer a red sauce on mine. My husband had the special which was lighter on the oils but a big meal. He loved the fried artichokes. We sat at the bar right away and by the time we left there was a lot of people waiting for tables outside. Coffee was great, fresh & I liked that she asked if we preferred a single or double shot. Over all we’d go again in a heartbeat to this small intimate restaurant

Cory Edwards

Delightful little locals spot with fresh fish. Service was a little curt, but get food makes up for it. Got the salmon reuben and was completely blown over by it. Spectacular. Even better was the crab bisque. Spicy and warm. I need it in my belly!! Best one I had in Bar Harbor. The haddock tacos my wife got were super meh. Skip unless you need flavorless tacos. But she loved the clam chowder. Daughter liked her blackened salmon sandwich. Gluten free options everywhere including a great GF chocolate ginger cookie.

Rick Freeman

Perhaps the best pizza I have ever had. Definitely the best gluten free one. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Jennifer Thomas

Their menu is legit, and the fact that I could order gluten-free fried clams, that right there deserves a 6th star. All of our food (party of 4 adults, a baby, and 2 kids) was delicious. Our party initially was split up due to it being busy, but when a bigger table opened up that could fit our whole party, they offered and moved us. Really, well done!

Bridget Corry Morse

Nice people. Pizza tastes good. Gluten free crust very good .

Jessica Kimball

Always 5 star food!!!!! We've been multiple times and it still impresses us. Recently had flux style oysters and I was in awe! I didn't realize how much better a plain raw oyster could get! The Asian salad has an amazing dressing with light heat and high quality sprouts and veggies with a perfect combo of the thin rice pasta (can't remember the exact term used for the kind of pasta) Steak frites on the wilted green combined with hand cut fries is SO good. I was pleasantly surprised how tasty the greens were. My partner had their rabbit special with house made pasta and he was in love. The cheese cake is so yummy and I love it is a gluten free option. A recent dessert special was tiramisu and cannoli and my partner said it was the best canoli and tiramisu he's ever had!!! We love the berry spritzers altho not a fan of the taste of a paper straw. Would love to have a plastic option or glass. My only downside to this place is I'm not a fan of their water options. Tap water does not taste good to me and not a fan of the sparkling water option myself. I'd love to see Saratoga water at this place!

Kris S.

As always, Fore Street does not disappoint. The food, atmosphere and service were spectacular. Our server made navigating my gluten sensitivity seamless by going through each menu item with me at the start. Not to miss when visiting Portland!

Ruth Myers

Excellent service and a wide range of food options. As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, it's a relief to find restaurants that are knowledgeable about safe ingredients for people with allergies.

Tons of gluten free options, was able to accommodate some things dairy free. Good vibes

If I had the means to hand out Michelin stars, Twelve would get 3. My entire experience was nothing short of absolutely phenomenal. Our waiter, Andrew, was extremely and entirely knowledgeable. He was also insanely helpful with guiding me towards the gluten free options of the menu. Always had a smile and was very welcoming and attentive to us as well. The food was like nothing I have ever tasted before. Each course was full of flavor and came out beautifully with a brief description of what was in front of you. The mussels were to die for, along with the steak. I can confidently say that this was the best meal I have ever had in my life and although I live 4.5 hours away, I would drive the 9 hour round trip to eat at Twelve any given day. Thank you to the wonderful staff and the chefs for making this not one of, but THE best dining experience of my life.

Tessa Hathaway

I went here with my parents after a day in Augusta and it was worth the excursion! My mom is gluten intolerant, so I was looking for good places for her and this came up. We took a chance and it was fantastic! It was so exciting for my mom to find a place so accessible (and delicious) for her dietary needs. Everything is 10/10. Heading back in a few days!

Indigo Burford

Great experience, especially if you are gluten free! The menu was marked and there were a variety of options! The lobster taco special on corn tortillas was amazing - and our server Jesse was fabulous!

S Salsbury

Our server, Julia, was incredibly attentive, considerate and accommodating. We asked about some gluten free choices and she checked with the kitchen before placing the order. All four of us enjoyed our meals. It was a lovely night in the outside terrace seating area, which is surrounded by landscapes and is not directly on the street. It's quiet and relaxing on the terrace. I had the Halibut which was served over lobster risotto and green beans topped by a bit of Beurre blanc, a buttery sauce. Halibut being my favorite fish. It was perfectly cooked, not overdone. Halibut is a fish that is overcooked in many places in my opinion. Perfectly white and flaky. Well plated. I didn't find any lobster in the risotto, if you want real lobster risotto, Josie's in Ellsworth is the place to go. There you get 2 or 3 ounces of real lobster meat blended with the risotto. It can be a meal in itself at Josie's

Shelley Larrabee

There were five of us in our family visiting Ruby Tuesday’s on Mother’s Day. I wish I could remember our servers name, But we sat at one of the high tops. I was server was very knowledgeable about the menu. When we asked about gluten-free options, she immediately retrieved the special menus book. We had two people in our party that are celiac. The food was absolutely delicious, it came out hot and very fresh. Our server checked on us. It seemed perfectly as we needed things. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and of course will return.

We are out-of-towners (Floridians) with a love for good local restaurants. Found Le Mu on Google based on its reviews and it was totally worth the wait to get in. It did not disappoint. Portions are great and the flavors are delicious! Staff is sweet, friendly, and fast. Plenty of gluten free and vegan options which were perfect for my family of 5 diverse eaters!

Dining at the Front and Main was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. I was so, so disappointed in our dining experience. THE ATOMOSPHERE: I made reservations a week in advance for Sunday brunch for a party of six. Upon arriving, they were going to seat us at a table in the middle of the restaurant close to the front door. Because my husband is hard of hearing, we asked if we could have a seat that was not as noisy in another area of the restaurant. We were happy that they were willing to accommodate us until we saw that they had prepared a table for us in the middle of the hotel lobby between the hotel front desk and the main entrance to the hotel. The main entrance had an automatic door that opened and closed every time someone walked by. Every few seconds throughout our entire meal, we had to listen to the door open and close. This was by far worse than the original location they were going to seat us. I am still flabbergasted that they sat us in the middle of the lobby like they did. I would have asked to go back to the original location, but we were with other people and I did not want to be asked to be moved a second time. THE FOOD: The food was horrible! Not only were the fried eggs in the Lockwood overcooked, they were greasy! The eggs in the eggs Benedict were also overcooked. The food was cold! The quality and portions of the meals was not worth the price paid. THE SERVICE: The service was also not good! We were sat in the middle of the hotel lobby and then pretty much ignored. At one point to get a refill of coffee, I took it from the coffee station set up for hotel guests. The server was also not knowledgeable on what gluten free options there were on the menu. I will absolutely not be returning to Front and Main. I am surprised that this restaurant has gotten the rave reviews it has because nothing about this restaurant was good.

Lindsey Hayes

The owners of this delightful Mom&Pop restaurant serve good food at a reasonable price. The atmosphere is calming and cozy. The food is delicious and prepared with care. I especially love their gluten-free waffles with blueberries. It's my favorite breakfast restaurant in all of L/A!!

Stacie Audet

SO Very yummy and service was great ! Jennifer our server was amazing!!! I have celiac and she was very attentive to my restrictions!!! Love this place!!!!

Ruth Wales

I am so happy to have this delightful deli here in my town. The sandwiches are bountiful and creative. Being Celiac, I was happy to see gluten free options.

Tatiana Stone

I was really pleasantly surprised! The burger was cooked exactly as I asked for, it was tasty, the gluten free buns were adequate (and thick), the fries were very delicious and the honey mustard sauce wasn't too sweet or too vinegary! So overall, this just hit the spot and was exactly what I wanted. The server was super nice too, and he was so helpful. The service rating is just because it took about 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge there was a line of people waiting to be seated, and I understand it isn't their fault, it's that they are incredibly short staffed it seems, and the people who are there are busting their butts. So I hope they're able to staff up soon and alleviate the pressure from the staff who are going above and beyond as they try to keep it together.

My husband and I had the pleasure of celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary at Provender Kitchen + Bar. Chef Daron noted our allergies and created an amazing chef selected menu with a discounted price. We love all food, so we were open for anything, even octopus. I am allergic to gluten going out to dinner lost its luster years ago and that is one reason why we have not been on a date in over 10 years, besides life. He served all the courses with a rundown of the dish, I forgot to get pictures of all the courses, we were so in the moment we made a rule not to use our phones. The atmosphere is amazing, the interior woodwork makes the whole experience that much more memorable. Waitstaff is attentive did not have to ask for a thing. The food quality is top notch cooked to perfection, not sure if takeout would do it justice depending on the dish. We looked at other dishes being served as well they all looked delicious; we will be back! Our 20th anniversary will forever be cherished due to the thoughtfulness of Chef Daron and his exceptional staff. Thank you, Provender Kitchen + Bar for a wonderful dining experience.

Debbie Di Mambro

Gluten free options! I had steak tips with peppers,onions,mushrooms on top of smashed potato!

Sarah Boucher

Great options! Sandwiches and toast could be gluten free! Love breakfast all day!

Daneel Dafni

Great food, healthy, gluten free options, delicious chai and nice ambiance!

Tracey Coste

My chicken sandwich was great and they had gluten free options for buns and fried chicken.

David Morrison

We visited this place for the first time during our trip to Portland and were impressed by the view of the docks from the second-floor patio. When we returned a year later, we were happy to be back and sat in the same spot. It was a pleasant surprise to find that they had gluten-free options as our son is recently diagnosed with celiac disease. We were delighted to have a variety of choices that catered to his dietary needs.

Lorne Carter

best brunch i’ve had in a while. full house but we managed to squeeze in a table for two upstairs by a window. cute, cozy atmosphere tied together by hand-painted table tops. mimosas were delicious, especially pear cranberry which i’ve never encountered before. “brunch bread” was the perfect start to the meal—we got a cheddar biscuit and cinnamon brown sugar gluten-free bread, both very yummy. for entrees, we shared french toast and steak eggs benedict. would order both again in an instant. service was warm and friendly to boot. will be returning, hungry for more!!

Emily Bashus

Really good gluten free crust.

Rachel Redding

Darbys was a lovely place to stop and get some good food. The waitress was attentive and pleasant. They have gluten-free choices, which was important to our family. We had the pad-thai, fish and chips, spinach and artichoke dip as well as a turkey bacon sandwich. The food came out quickly and all was good. The Pad Thai had more of a peanut sauce instead of a traditional pad Thai sauce but was still good. The fish and chips were great because the breading was light. The soup could have been a little warmer in temperature but was chunky and thick!

I have breakfast here every Wednesday morning and my wife and I dine in or do take out for lunch at least a couple times a month. The food is really good. It would be nice if there were more lunch options since we eat there quite often and maybe some meals (besides salad) that were gluten-free since my wife has a gluten allergy. The staff is what really makes this place special. They are amazing! They are constantly on the move, taking care of the customers, so nobody is left waiting longer than they should. Obviously there are times when they are super busy that you may have to wait a bit but you can clearly see that they are trying their hardest to reduce the wait time and take care of everyone. Prices are very reasonable I think.

Константин Снытко

I love their gluten-free options and a fantastic omelet

Emily Blaha

Pleasantly surprised by the plethora of gluten free options! Especially for a small town! GF bread, wraps, buns, and batter. Enjoyed gf fish & chips and the beautiful lake view!

Tiffany Robitaille

This place is very unassuming, you might just drive right by without knowing you missed out on a great meal! They also have amazing gluten-free desserts. I had the best doughnut of my life here! Everything is homemade and super delicious.

Michael Fox

Great food. And it comes out pretty quickly. My partner is celiac, and she's never had any issues with their GF menu

Sharon Seago

Enjoyed the grilled haddock on gluten-free bread.

Kate Feeney

I was sadly disappointed with this restaurant. Service was ok, our waitress definitely had too many tables so we couldn’t order anything else but that is to no fault of her. The biggest issue here was the fried food. I ordered a chicken sandwich (gluten free) which I was very excited for since few to no restaurants in the area serve GF fried food. The breading was black, and tasted like straight burnt oil. I tried my best on the sandwich but it left a nasty taste in my mouth and was absolutely not worth it. Please change your frying oil more frequently 😭

Donna Davis

Cute restaurant. Love the house dog. Very well trained. My order was placed wrong but easily fixed. It was spectacular. I had the gluten-free veggie Flatbread pizza. My husband had the taco wrap which he loved as well. Portion wise the servings are big (enough for two or to take some home). Very nice place if you are looking for something more on the healthy side (which is harder to find now). Highly recommend if you are near this location. Sad to see the "for sale" sign on it. Hope more people visit so that they can stay open.

Jody Neumann

Gluten Free Friendly!!! Have to say I absolutely loved 3 of the 4 courses. Loved: Tuna tartare squash soup, pear salad, and the chocolate mousse. My entree: Mahi Mahi was good, but bit bland.

Natalie Schulte

This place was good but at about 3 pm they were out of stock of a lot of their menu (almost all the sausage variations, some hot dogs, and some sides). They do have gluten free buns typically but they were out when I went so I just had to have the hot dog without a bun.
