Top 6 Gluten-Free American Diners to Enjoy in Mississippi

Hanna Oestrich

I would avoid this place if you have celiacs or a food allergy. There were a lot of reviews stating they have safe gluten free options. But I soon discovered that the kitchen has a lot of cross contact. I ordered a seafood dish with rice and explained that I have celiacs. The waitress said she would inform the kitchen and ensure my meal was gluten free. I was half way through my dish when I discovered that there was a piece of angle hair pasta inside my rice, like right in the center of it. The waitress then explained that the pasta and rice are prepared next to each other. They do not take cross contact serious in the kitchen and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone with a food allergy. I am now extremely ill from this mistake, I hope the restaurant learns so they can practice proper kitchen safety and not offer options that are high in cross contact with allergens.

It was really yummy! We came for the gluten free biscuits and unfortunately they were one short when we got there. They made it up to us with a good free gluten free pastry though. All around a great experience.

I have a gluten allergy and this place had a lot of options for me to pick from, which is always great. The staff were also incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about allergens and made sure the kitchen made my food safely.

Took my grandson there for breakfast. He absolutely loved their pancakes, the best he's ever had, he said. Our server was fantastic.She spent some extra time talking to him about video games, which he loved. The gluten-free pancakes were very good!

Monica Cook

Gluten free pancakes were horrible they need to improve there recipe. They were dry not a great flavor. Service was poor. They too along time to wait the table, take the order, bring the food and then no more service to the table after the food was served. We have eaten at this chain before never again.

Waiter Michael was irritated from the moment I walked in. I came in for the first time ever to meet with friends. He asked what I wanted to drink, came back and I asked politely if I could have a menu and he was visibly irritated by that request. Upon asking my friends who got there before me, he was fine and then became rude when my friend asked if there was a gluten free menu due to her allergies. Very unfortunate. I was excited to try the food but ended up just getting a salad so I could get out of there

WONDERFUL experience. Chef was so kind and talked to us personally when we told him a member of our party had a gluten allergy. Vincent was such a good waiter and always made sure we were satisfied. Super adorable place too.

We went to dinner on Tuesday and I was so excited to see they offer a gluten free bun with their burgers!! Fantastic dinner and wait staff!

Christa Maynard-Sifrit

So good! Our family of 4 loved the food and the friendly, yet professional staff. They go out of their way to accommodate all tastes as well as gluten allergies.

Love this place. Everyone is so happy here starts your morning off right. Fastest best breakfast if you want to get in and out. Heather was wonderful, made sure my gluten free breakfast was right.

Great food and service. Waiter suggested a very tasty catfish substitute appetizer due to my wife’s celiacs. Everything was exceptional!

I have gluten intolerance. I was presented with a gluten-free menu which I ordered from and within 15 minutes became horribly ill for the next six hours. If you have a gluten intolerance, do not eat here at all.

1. I wasn't greeted.. The manager (which I didn't know was the manager @ this time) was right there sitting on the waiting couches and didn't say anything to me.. The girls behind the counter were on their phones watching something together.. 2. There were approx. 3-4 tables that weren't cleaned off by the time I got to my table.. By the time I left, they STILL weren't cleaned.. 3. The waitress was super sweet.. I believe she was new.. She asked me what I wanted to drink.. I said "Hot Water." She brought it in a small kids cup because they didn't have the regular sized to-go cups.. I asked if she could use the coffee kettle and she kindly took it back and filled it, brought it to me and let me know she would be back to take my order.. 4. The phone was ringing but never got answered.. 5. She took a while to take my order.. When I gave her my order of the Veggie Omelet with no egg add green peppers & onions, she replied with a laugh sigh (ha), "you want an omelet with no egg?" I replied, "yes.." 6. I asked for the cook to use my ingredients as I do @ every IHOP.. She kindly took my items and gave them to the cook.. 7. Rude, ill-mannered Manager.. I over heard the male manager irately saying with an attitude, "No, no, no.. We not bout to do this.. Go get those and give it back to the customer.." She kindly came back and said we couldn't do it.. I said, "fine but could you have the cook not use any ingredients on my food, no oil, no salt, nothing?? She then went to the kitchen and informed the cook.. I realized that she didn't emphasize "nothing" when I said no ingredients so I hoped he wouldn't use butter.. I asked the manager that was walking by to reassure no butter was being used.. He gave me this look of discuss when I asked if he could make sure no butter was used on the food I ordered and he said, "what did you get?" I did reply with a smart comment of "I figured your kitchen would have the ticket so you can know what I ordered, but I ordered the Veggie Omelet with no egg add green peppers & onions.. He gave me this look of discuss again and then said, "so you want him to just burn it on the grill?" I said, "I asked for the sauteed not grilled.." He replies with, "it's all the same.." Baffled, I asked, "so you cook everything on the same grill??" Mind you, I am plant based and am very selective when eating out @ places while traveling.. I have eaten @ many, many IHOP's across the country and only because I extensively asked a regional manager, that happened to be in the restaurant I went to in Arizona, a bunch of questions and she reassured me that across the nation IHOP uses separate fryers for the veggies and meats, they have separate cooking sections for the meats, the fish, and the veggies.. I asked if the potatoes were real or manufactured.. She said real.. I asked what had butter/was cooked with butter.. She explained everything that contained butter AND let me know which items I could request without butter.. I asked about the pancakes and she said they were vegan, both the regular and the gluten free.. SHE is the ONLY reason I eat @ IHOP'S across the nation.. Back to this IHOP... This Manager answered with a "yes." I then said that I didn't want anything.. I was still hungry so while I looked up other vegan friendly restaurants that I trust and are still open, I was finishing up the tea that I brought in to steep in the hot water I asked for.. I packed my things and headed out.. 8. Before I got to my vehicle I heard the manager calling me.. Him: "Excuse me ma'am." I turn around and see him standing @ the door with a receipt.. Him: "You still have to pay for your tea." Me: "I only got hot water.." Him: "I saw a tea bag." Me: "I brought my own Tea.." Side Note: I KNOW he knew that tea bag wasn't IHOP's because of the tag on the bag.. Him: Have a good day.. I turned around and left.. I figured I would get better southern hospitality but they treated me like I personally did something to them and this was my 1st time there..🤷🏽‍♀️ No more IHOP's for me..🙄

What a fantastic experience. The server was awesome and took the time to verify which dishes were gluten free for my celiac friend. C

My husband and I had a wonderful first experience here today. I have a gluten allergy and they were very accommodating, and thorough in their explanations of what is gluten-free and what is not. The only thing that would make this slightly less than a five star review, is that all of the gluten-free options were at the higher price point of the menu, whereas the non-gluten-free items had significantly more inexpensive items. It would’ve been nice to have a little bit more variety to choose from. The atmosphere was lovely, and the music was not too loud. And the service was great. Definitely ask for the waiter Von when you make your visit! We definitely will!

I had a great time here. The waiter was very helpful and promptly refilled drinks when the time was appropriate. He was kind and had awareness of my gluten allergy before I had the chance to explain I was Celiac. That was very impressive! The food was fantastic and tasted fresh off the grille. Thank you guys for making me feel at home!

Food was good. Nice prices. They have a lot of gluten free options, which is helpful.

Amazing modern, upscale restaurant in downtown with amazing staff, fantastic drinks and delicious multi course meals that also include modified gluten free dishes for every course. The entire staff are top notch! Very friendly, attentive waiters and bartender and everyone is committed to creating a great experience for patrons, from start to finish. The manager was super friendly and made sure we enjoyed our meal and our visit. The building and ambience reminds us of New Orleans and includes a beautiful garden outside and inside gorgeous decor, jazz and deco art, beautiful chandeliers and place settings. Really enjoyed our time here and a must visit while visiting Hattiesburg, Mississippi!

Great breakfast... And gluten free pancakes

I have celiac ....Every single person bent over backwards to make great food for me to enjoy. I am so appreciative. Great service, very clean, family atmosphere. The Twisted Turnip is my new favorite restaurant.

Normally, Ruby Tuesdays gets 5 stars from me, but today 7/7/2023, my wife, and I left, somewhat disappointed. For lunch, I ordered a burger on a gluten free bun, the bottom bun was absolutely destroyed, and couldn't even be picked up. The coconut shrimp, came out with only 5, when Normally there are 6. Perhaps I'm too picky, but I expected better from a place I've been going to for around 15 years

Great place for group gathering - we were able to talk and hear each other 😀. Excellent, knowledgeable server helped with food selections and gluten free choices. My brisket plate was delicious, and the sweet potato fries were more crispy than flabby, like I like 'em. Highly recommend. 5 💫 (pic is of my leftovers 😋)

I have to eat gluten free and diabetic. I choose to eat Keto now that I understand it. I could do it all with the grand fajitas.

Logan Gravois

The smash burgers here are awesome! I will definitely be returning to try some other menu options. The staff are all very sweet and welcoming! Michelle was very helpful over the phone when I had questions about gluten free options or substitutions available.
