Top 7 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Independence

Terry Carr

Ordered a burger and fries. The fries at Red Robin are gluten free because there is a dedicated fryer. Burger was done well.

I got a steak and chicken fajitas. I gave the service 4 stars because I ordered corn tortillas and the kitchen gave me flour tortillas and I'm gluten free. The wait staff was great. I couldn't understand why I got one slice of a tomato normal slices of tomatoes for fajitas. All in all, a nice place to get some Mexican food

Wow Culver's drive-thru. How do you make a burger look so unappetizing?! Apparently you just THROW all the food in the boxes. And to not only disregard the request for NO CHEESE but to cover the now inedible pretzel bites with it. Specifically asked for ketchup, got none. Specifically asked for the gluten free bun NOT to be warmed, disregarded. Doubt I'll be coming back to this location.

My wife and I came here bc it was down the street from our hotel, at the intersection with 40 Hwy. The location is great right of 40 Hwy and I-470. We were seated quickly. My wife has Celiac so we are very selective of where we go out to eat. Cheddars just hit a home run for us. We both order the Baby Back Ribs and they came out perfectly. The meat came of the bones and I was seasoned superbly. We also ordered the Tropical Painkiller drinks. Wow that's a big and delicious drink. You can tell by the photo that it's no small drink compared to my wife's hands. I spoke about being a Celiac conscious family. But, I get to eat gluten when we go out. That brings me to their Honey Butter Croissants, they are so flaky and delicious. We'll definitely be coming back when we go in town. In the meantime we'll go to the ones closer to us in Atlanta.

Walked in with very little idea what to expect. Which is, firstly, that you should have a reservation. The decor could be overwhelming if it wasn't so well put together. The restaurant is also an antique store, so a lot, if not all, of the decor, is for sale, along with another floor or two of antiques, which I did not visit. Back to the lack of reservation - the manager said they could serve the two of us in half an hour, and we were welcome to view the garden in the meantime. The garden is gorgeous, with plenty of shade along the walkway, and outdoor seating and it was somehow cooler there than anywhere else on this summer day. When it was time for us to order, it was a tough decision. Menu items range in price mostly from $16-30. It was more than I'd anticipated, but not unreasonable. I wanted to eat light, and got salmon and herbed cream cheese bruschetta, minus the bread, since I'm gluten free. My companion got a housemade chicken salad sandwich with a side of potato salad. The portion sizes completely justified the price. I got 4 thin slices of salmon rolled up with cream cheese (the server said the kitchen had fun making that) on a bed of shredded romaine, topped with housemade (bread & butter style) pickles, picked red onion, sliced hard boiled egg, crumbled goat cheese, and capers. There was a slice of orange and of watermelon on the side. The chicken salad was on thick toasted bread. It also came with fruit and pickles. We both decided the pickles were tasty, but too spicy. We considered dessert, but were already taking home half of our meals, so we declined. The options were lemon cake with mascarpone filling, flourless chocolate torte, or créme bruleé. UPDATE 6/22/23: Went with my husband for our anniversary. Dinner entrée prices range from $20-60. I had a grilled salmon with apricot sauce, rice pilaf and sautéed vegetables on the side. My husband got a tenderloin steak with loaded baked potato and sautéed vegetables. I got dessert this time! Creme brulee with berries - a traditional nutmeg custard. We also walked around the upper floors and in the gardens. The ambience is magical.
