Top 50 Gluten-Free American Diners to Explore in Michigan

Title: A Gluten-Free Haven with Room for Improvement Rating: 3/5 stars As someone with celiac disease, it's a rare treat to dine at a completely gluten-free restaurant like Papa Chops. I was thrilled to finally eat out with my family, especially on Mother's Day weekend. The food selection was great, and I ordered a variety of dishes, including fish and chips, burgers, and a pork sandwich. The food itself was good, but the service fell short of expectations. When I went inside to ask for lemon and tartar sauce with my fish and chips, the cashier was surprisingly rude and snippy. She even checked my receipt to see if I had paid for the food, which made me feel uncomfortable, especially in front of my kids. There was also a miscommunication about ranch dressing, which added to the frustration. Despite the good food, the service issues left a sour taste. With a bit more attention to customer service, Papa Chops could truly shine as a gluten-free destination. For now, I'd recommend it for the food, but with the caveat to be prepared for potential service inconsistencies. Price: $80 (before tip) Would I go back? Maybe. I'd like to give them another chance to show me better service.

Very good place for gluten free options.

Absolutely incredible every time! My spouse and I make the long drive up from Cincinnati, Ohio every couple of months just to experience the joy of an allergy friendly breakfast! We are both cross-contamination sensitive celiac, as well as having some other odd (and common!) allergies between us, such as apples, eggs, and peanuts. Anna's House handles this all with no problem! We have never had a single reaction eating here. This time we had the pleasure of meeting Sharlet, who came out to our table to personally deliver our food, reassuring us that everything was safe, and even listed some of the ingredients for us! She was incredibly warm, kind, and happy to get to know us, as well as incredibly knowledgeable about the food she was serving us! Anna's house has separate preparation areas as well as the cutest little 'ALLERGY' picks that they place in your food so you KNOW it's safe! Thank you anna's house, but especially thank you to Shar, who made us feel so welcome and safe.

This location means a lot to me because the staff always takes such great care of me when I come in, remembers my name, some of the servers remember my order by heart. Managers are very nice and personable. Their coffee is the best coffee of any restaurant I have been too. Great food and service on a consistent basis. I highly recommend trying it out especially if gluten free or vegan.

Nikki McCrary

This is my favorite restaurant, hands down! Flavorful food, seasonal specials, and best of all, the majority of the menu can be made gluten free, so tell your friends with Celiac! They make their own gf bread, and have a dedicated gluten free fryer that is also used to cook all of their house fries, so you don't have to worry about contamination there. The staff are always friendly and informative, and the atmosphere is cozy and modern. Great place for a nice meal if you're local or just visiting Lake Eerie. I recommend it to everyone!

Anna's House is the best place for brunch! Fun, bright, 1950s retro vibe, unique (and classic) brunch dishes, and they have tons of options for various dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, ect.) I have relatives that have a severe intolerance to gluten, and they love going to Anna's House when they visit because they have a separate kitchen to cook orders for those with allergies. They have mentioned that it might take a little longer, but that hasn't been my experience even when they are quite busy.

I was traveling a did a to go order. I got 3 pieces of fried chicken, French fries, and a brownie. The French fries were amazing. The chicken was less than stellar. The chicken itself was good but the breading was inedible. It was hard and brown and flavorless. The brownie was okay. Happy to get gluten free food, not worth the 40 price tag for 3 pieces of chicken, French fries and a brownie.

Carlee Roberts

The food was cold, the waitress’s finger was touching our food and she rearranged some bacon on a plate with her fingers. I lost my appetite after seeing the poor hygiene of some of the waitresses. There was coughing without mouths covered. We also asked for a gluten free dish that when came, was not gluten free. Overall the food would’ve been enjoyable if it was served at the right temperature.

Stephanie Lynn

I had a GF beer with CRISPY GF fries and a Reuben and it was amazing. It was so amazing I cried. Highly recommend this place

Sherry Long

Went here for the first time today and I am celiac. We had an excellent waitress named Serina. She was checking with us all the time. I got a long island top shelf, and it was 10/10. The chicken tenders and fries were to die for and the ranch dressing was the best ever. Definitely, will drive 45 minutes from Flint to eat here again.

Vivian VanRenterghem

An incredible dining experience. Super high quality food and great atmosphere. We sat at the chefs counter and our server, Ryan, was fantastic - both attentive and kind. Incredibly accommodating to food allergies, we had a lot of options and a great gluten free meal.

Emma Eddy

Celiac friendly

Jaden V

Gluten free options

Lindsey Beras

Pleasantly surprised by this place, came for burgers with my family on a Saturday night around 5:30pm. There were lots of gluten free options and a good veggie burger. I appreciate that they offer a black bean burger instead of impossible/beyond beef, but there wasn’t much else for vegetarians, though maybe it’s too much to ask for a few more veg options at a primarily meaty place lol. Anyway, fries were good and my 3 year old loved it. We will be back!

Josh Denzler

Chartreuse was an excellent dining experience. I ate with a large work group, and everything was spectacular. From the entrees to the salads and desserts, everything was delicious with unique options and good flavors. It was also able to accommodate celiac gluten free and vegan options for our groups. I highly recommend their Mocktails and homemade cola.

Whitney Danielle

We had a great experience this evening. The staff members were wonderful, the food was prepared quickly and it tasted great. The kids love the bottomless options (even available on the kids menu) and I appreciated the vegetarian and gluten free options. 10/10 NOTE: I gave 5/5 for each category but Google is glitching and didn't save those category ratings.

Ashley S

I went to Sednoa Taphouse for dinner and had the smoked salmon dip, shrimp stuffed with crab, and the chocolate cake. There are quite a few gluten free options! I thought the food was amazing. The smoked salmon dip had the right amount of smokey flavor. The stuffed shrimp was perfect. The cake was absoultely amazing. The service I received was professional. The menu was explained to me, food was prompt, and the server was exceptionally pleasant. The only downfall is the atmosphere, the music was too loud and as more people filed the voices in the room felt very loud, which didnt match the ambiance or decor of Sedona taphouse. I wouldn't go there with another person if I were trying to have an actual conversation because they would be hard to hear.

Jeanna DeMond

One of my favorite places in Ann Arbor. I could have French toast/pancakes/ waffles and be completely fine. Highly recommend

Lilian Ribeiro Fernandez

If you come here try the mushrooms pasta and eat at the restaurant because its not gonna taste the same if you take it home. The pasta was delicious and even my husband who is gluten free had one of the best GF pastas ever. The carrot cake is also GF and it tastes amazing.

Ernizms NYC

This place never disappoints!!!! Gluten free menu also.

John Gardner

I'll get right to the point, the food is amazing and the service is great. Kristen and Cody are extremely helpful and do a great job explaining prep and precautions for the celiac group. We've been here over a dozen times and have yet to have any food that wasn't delicious. What finally brought me to write the review was the addition of the brunch menu, it's to die for.

Shayna Raina

Came here with a friend on Saturday. I had one mocktail called a ‘Spa Water’ and one cocktail called ‘Buddy Buddy.’ Both were excellent. A friend and I shared brussel sprouts and a half chicken. Food was good. The flavors were subtle, but the food was well-made. They were patient with me and accommodated my gluten allergy. We were served at the bar and the bartender gave great service. Will likely come back 😁

Kristin Bailey

We had excellent service and the food was great. They have lots of vegan and gluten free options and healthier items as well.

Liz E (ALovelyCreature)

Just another corporate chain. We are gluten and dairy free and the only thing we could get was a flavorless steak. They rely on butter for all their flavor and don’t apparently use any seasoning. Service was good. Obviously won’t be going back.

Annelise Martin

The food was amazing. I have a severe gluten allergy and was extremely impressed to have the option of a FULL gluten-free menu. I had the bruschetta as an appetizer and was also given a complementary small loaf of gluten free bread. For my meal I had gnocchi with chicken and pancetta and it was the best I ever had. For dessert I had chocolate truffles which were also super delicious. I will be coming back here for sure!

Lisa Lull

Delicious food and cocktails, friendly service, casual but elevated atmosphere. Very accommodating of allergies/gluten free. Solid choice for friends, family or date night!

John Tockstein

The five of us had a wonderful dining experience this evening! We couldn't stop raving about how delicious our appetizer, meals and desserts were. I was especially amazed at the amount of gluten-free options. We will definitely be back soon.

Sunshine Pawlowski

Such a great place! Beautiful scenery, great food! Plenty of parking out back! This was our 2nd time here & very pleased, can't wait to return again. I highly recommend this place. They do have Gluten-free bread so all sandwiches ate available, omg the potato salad is so good it's the best I've ever had, smoked bacon is in it so that flavor is what makes it the best!

Haley Stump

Atmosphere was amazing, such a cool place. Unfortunately my filet was WAY overcooked, shells in the lobster bisque, and cocktails were all sickly sweet. Still a good experience but for such an amazing location I would hope for a better dining experience. Also some confusion about gluten free options which left me nervous as someone with Celiac but luckily I ate the filet, bisque, and Panna Cotta and was fine after.

Brian DelGreco

First review below is from January 27th 2024 3 stars The food is good. The chips and salsa are very good. My wife and daughter got the taco salad. There was very few toppings on them. I mean very little! If we ever go back, that will not be an option for either of them. I got the steak fajita, and it was pretty good, but not enough shells to eat your entire meal. My mother-in-law got a plain quesadilla. The booths are small, but the service is good. The price is a little bit high for what is relatively cheap ingredients. For the 4 of us it cost me about $84. plus tip. Note: they are very conscientious of celiac disease. Since my daughter has it, that would be the only time we would come back here again. It gives us somewhere local to go when she's in town if we don't feel like driving out somewhere. This review is for March 29th 2024 This visit was much better. I have moved my 3 stars to 4 stars. The food was good, proportions were generous and fhe wait staff was great, too. If I had one complaint, it would be that the salsa was very watery. Almost like dipping your chips in a can of tomato water. I'm not sure if it was the bottom of the barrel that day or what? Besides that, we will definitely be back.

Jonathon Cash

Food was fantastic and Maddy was great! Knowledgeable on the gluten free items.

Jane A

Highly recommend especially if you need to eat gluten free. Husband has celiac and KP, our wonderful server, made note to the chef as to avoid cross contamination. He started out with the truffle seasoned fries which was a huge treat. Main course was coconut curry with chicken. He said it was so full of flavor and ate every bit! I glutened myself with the chicken sandwich with fries. Took half home - too much for me to eat.

Stevie DiRezze

A great spot for lunch (or dinner) with a variety of food and drink selections. Reasonable portions. Can get a little pricey especially for bigger groups, but what isn't these days? Gluten Free options are available and marked accordingly.

Salena Pritchett

I have to eat gluten free and my waitress, Nicole, was able to recommend food and drinks for me that kept me safe while also appealing to the rest of my party so we were all able to have and share appetizers, shareables, main dishes, and dessert. Thank you for such a wonderful location to dine at, with wonderful staff like Nicole to expertly advise us on the best dishes and drinks for us all!

Jake Rayner

Alright, i haven't had a true burger since i became gluten intolerant, but i was in the area, and inquired with The Burger Joint about their gluten free options. Not only do they have decent gluten free buns, they have a dedicated fryer where nothing with gluten is fried in it. Fantastic! I paid $20 including tip for my burger with addons and a side of fries, and it was worth EVERY PENNY. Thank you The Burger Joint, for a wonderful and delicious experience!

Margaret Libby Campbell

The four of us were hungry and a little tired when we walked into the Wicked Sister. Our server took very good care of me and my gluten-free meal. Our guests loved our meal and our experience. Thank you very much.

Jeff Myrom

The queso lava burger is quite messy but also really good. We got right in on a Saturday night and service was quick and friendly. Gluten-free buns available for the burgers. Entrance faces the mall. Enjoy!

Love this place!! I have celiac and im always worried about getting sick eating out. Condados menu items are clearly marked and the staff is knowledge and attentive. Food Is great you can never go wrong (but the build your own bowls are a fav) Music and atmosphere are great Bailey at Royal Oak is an absolute doll!!!

Angela Johnson

I was on a short road trip to Northern Michigan and found this gem! My first visit was on the way up and the second visit was on my return home. I am gluten free (celiacs) and they have an entire menu dedicated for us gluten free folks. I had jambalaya, crawfish and corn chowder, and the shrimp boil over the two visits. Each meal included a gluten free jalapeño corn muffin. All food was delicious and I ate safely. No adverse reactions. I had a cocktail on my first visit and a soda on the second. Cocktails were good. Service also was very good. My friend and I sat at the bar both times.

Monica Sparks

I just love this place! The atmosphere is sexy yet casual. Great for a girls night out or family dinner. Valet available- Open table or CALL 1st for reservations- otherwise you may be turned away. Great selections - my favorite is the appetizers. Want to be wowed!? Try the Brussel Sprouts, new Salmon dip, and Country Rigatoni (gluten free with extra sauce) they prepare their own gluten free bread that is excellent too. Shaved Brussel salad and Wedge is also my favorite. I am a wine club member, I find the wines to be juicy - try the Blueberry Açaí! DESSERT- Key Lime hands down with the buttery crust! Happy Hour $10 apps menu is a great value.

John Hardham

We stopped in for lunch while out running errands. We’d read good reviews on Google and Find Me Gluten Free. Condado lived up to the high ratings. The Lucy’s Fire and Braided & Confused tacos were amazing! We added the loaded tots to the meal which were also fantastic. Highly recommend this place! Our server, Bria, pleasantly greeted us upon entering the restaurant and was very helpful and attentive during our entire stay.

Vicki Baum-Hommes

This was an amazing meal! Besides the amazing view and attentive staff, the food was outstanding and interesting. I can't eat gluten and it was refreshing to have a menu with so much variety that had many GF choices. My husband got the pork chop special with curried vegetables and I got the curried scallop and shrimp dish. Mmmm!!!! Our only complaint was that the sizes were enormous - too much food and we are hearty eaters. The Brussel sprout appetizer was delicious but so huge it could have been a meal. We got another nights food out of our meal but for some that extra food will end up in the trash which feels wasteful. Other than that I would highly recommend this place. A real treat.

Dylan Kerfoot

Came here for Father-In-Laws birthday, and was not disappointed! Food was absolutely delicious with plenty of gluten free options for my partner. The drinks were thoughtful and well priced, and had us wanting to try them all. Last, but definitely not least, our server Kailey was amazing! She was very personable, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We'll definitely be back!

Andrea Vendlinski

We stopped at the Driftwood for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised. The food was creative and really good. I had the peach flatbread and would highly recommend. They had many vegan and gluten free options as well.

Donny Bruno

Gluten free bun for there burgers. Brisket burger was great! Their ranch is like a dill ranch.

Daniel Lawrence

Great staff and gluten free options for my family. It's our go to for a family dinner.

Jeffrey Dick

Good food gluten-free fries!!

Amy Rohrbach

Went here for a post-event reception. They catered buffet style and food was VERY good. We had our own room and the staff still waited on us and checked on us regularly. Gluten free honored, too!

Thomas Gaw

What a place! Jamie is an excellent waitress that makes this homie restaurant such a pleasant experience. Chocolate milk was divine, gluten free bread was even better. Will be returning!

Jessika Wolfsen

Super food ribs, fell right off. Shows what is gluten free too.
