Top 21 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Syracuse

LONG REVIEW: PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE GLUTEN SENSITIVITY OR CELIAC: My Wife has celiac disease, the gluten free menu is great and offers fee a lot of diverse options. We normally don’t eat out but it was her birthday and I wanted to take her to this place because she loves their gluten free menu. Unfortunately, there was a mix up in the kitchen and they accidentally brought her out the gluten edition of her meal. They apparently realized it before bringing it out and and attempted set it off to the side, before making the correct meal. However, they failed to inform the servers, and a server still ended up bringing it out. My wife ate a good portion before the waitress came over and realized it was the wrong dish. Look of panic on the waitress face said it all. The manager was apologetic, but the damage was done. We left immediately and we got to our road just in time for her to start puking all over the side of it. She was bed ridden the rest of the day. Make sure, ask and then ask again before diving into your food that they cooked it correctly. I hate that I have to give this place 1 star, because they are usually great.

Great place to visit, the food was very good and super tasty. My wife has a celiac disease, and I am happy to report she had no issues with this place, and felt great after eating there. The place is small and can get very loud, kinda hard to talk to the people that you are eating with. Also, they did mess up our order and got us 2 of the ribs instead of what we ordered, but it was still very tasty. Overall very good place to go and eat, good atmosphere, music a bit too LOUD! Prices are good, we were 4 people had food and drinks and the bill was around $100 ( not including tip). Recommend.

Great gluten free waffles. Get the brie bacon and basil waffle. Be sure to try their house sauce/syrup.

Alexandria Rose

The gluten free Godiva cheesecake is highly recommended! My stomach was not upset after having it. The omelettes were awesome too and they accommodated my celiac restrictions.

Laura Hamilton

Great service! Very accommodating! Good food, able to eat safely here as gluten free with staff understanding of cross contamination issues. Lovely meal!

Rachelle Janiga

Good gluten free options.

Joseph Rizzo

The Build Your Own bowls are great. I would definitely order them again. Unfortunately, they forgot my added Fresh French Fries in my first takeout order from this restaurant. The food is great, I will give this restaurant another chance to do better. On February 27th 2025 I went back and ordered The Big Cuse Smash Burger on a gluten free bun with fries. It was amazing. Definitely worth the money.

We were so lucky to have our hotel next door to this Dennys! I have Celiac disease and cannot have gluten. The waitress and cook were very mindful of this when preparing my omelette and hash browns, and I am happy to report I did not get glutened! The food was great and hot. Our waitress was fantastic. My only small qualm is that the women's restroom was dirty in 2/3 stalls- however as we were leaving, I heard staff talking about how it would be cleaned ASAP. This seems like a great location!

Cozy family diner that caters to gluten sensitivity! Highly recommend!

Russ Cluett

We've been here several times for lunch and are never disappointed. Great food with lots of gluten-free options, large portions, and reasonable prices.

Kelly Tompkins

Menu is fun and unique for those that love pancakes and french toast mixed with cereal and desserts! It's a fun fusion of food. For those with food sensitivities this isn't the place to go. No gluten free pancakes or french toast. Service was quick. Mimosas are delicious!

I was on the road from Rochester to New York and dropped on for breakfast. Missed the time and had a burger with gluten free bread due to my gluten allergy. This place had a warm and homely atmosphere. Very busy, but looked like everybody knew each other. I did not feel out of place as they everyone were friendly. I enjoyed my burger but what I enjoyed most was the mashed potatoes with gravy. It felt like it was made with a lot of love. Imqoll definitely return of I am passing by again.

Serge Gilbert

Service, food, everything was perfect and even better full of gluten-free options for my wife who is celiac who was able to enjoy an excellent meal from starter to dessert without any compromise. Bravo to the owner Patrice and to our server Charles.

Jenny Frank

Gluten-free vegan mac and cheese is incredible! PMA Foods has an incredible cheese selection! I highly recommend!

Annie Marnell

Great gluten free French toast

Lori Forrester

They were very supportive of my request for a gluten free meal. Fantastic! We will be back.

It’s easy to get diner food just right, but it’s just as easy to make a mess of it. I’m happy to say, I’ve always had a great meal at The Gem. When ever I’m on this side of town, it’s always my go-to for a fast simple meal (comfort food). Recently, I went by at lunch time, but hadn’t had breakfast that morning. I couldn’t decide what to have. Luckily, I could have both, and partook in the breakfast hamburger platter. Think ‘steak & eggs’ but instead of the steak, you get a burger just the way you like it with all the trimmings (minus the bun) AND eggs, home fries, and toast. (I tend to stay away from gluten, but still, you get the idea). This has since become my new favorite breakfast!

Gluten Free folks rejoice! Vegans and Vegies too. Everyone else won't even notice, but there's excellent food waiting for you! Very relaxed vibe, dog and kid friendly. We heard it gets busy during apple picking season. Otherwise it's very relaxed, plenty of seating and a great farm store on the property too! We chatted with the owners, super nice and engaging. Will definitely be back!

Fun little movie-themed diner with semi-cafeteria style service (order at counter, then your food comes later - "1/2 service" maybe?). They have a quinoa and kale hash that is pretty awesome. I appreciated the efficiency of the 1/2 service system, but all the disposables and lack of milk alternatives or decaf coffee left me bummed. I'd also like to have an option for extra hash/side instead of toast (gluten free sucks, sorry to everyone).
