Top 50 Gluten-Free American Spots to Discover in Columbus

I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

Great GF experience! Even got gluten free bread to the table as soon as I mentioned I had an allergy! Meghan L was a great waitress- 10/10 would recommend

Wonderful food with excellent service at the bar and at our table. Aware of gluten issues. All food was marked when it came to the table. 💗

True Food Kitchen was a refreshing and delicious surprise during our visit to Easton Town Center. In the middle of all the classic American comfort food spots, this place stands out as a healthy and flavorful alternative—and it doesn’t sacrifice taste one bit. The menu is packed with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options, which is perfect for anyone with dietary preferences or restrictions. Even as someone who usually leans toward meat-heavy and indulgent meals, I was seriously impressed. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. It didn’t feel like “health food”—it just felt like great food. The atmosphere was bright, modern, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They were happy to make recommendations based on what we were in the mood for, and everything came out quickly and perfectly prepared. True Food Kitchen is a gem in Easton—whether you’re a dedicated healthy eater or just want to try something different that still hits the spot. I’ll definitely be back, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a guilt-free but truly satisfying meal.

If you are looking for a good brunch spot I give this place 2 thumbs up! I had a Bloody Mary which was served with a skewer of meat cheese & an olive. The drink itself wasn't too spicy but could of had a bit more vodka in it! I ordered the breakfast BLT which was delish. I was able to get vegan cheese on it since it was available upon request. They so have a decent about of dietary options including vegan, vegetarian & gluten free. Make sure to let the waiter/waitress know. Our group all ordered something different which was nice to see it was all enjoyed.

Great service! Great food! Appreciate the menu marking gluten-free items. Best of all, the cheesecake is gluten-free!!!

Joe was my server and he was awesome! It’s always been hard eating out while having celiac and he took my allergy into heavy consideration

My wife and I will be making this a goto when we are in Columbus, which is several times a year. We were here for the weekend and had dinner on Friday. It was soo good and the atmosphere is relaxing, we went back for lunch on Sunday before heading back home. The smoked salmon is amazing, and the wife dreams about the gluten-free fish and chips. I wish we had a Pearl in Cleveland!!

I have celiac disease and need to be careful with gluten and cross contamination. Red Robin offers gluten free options and dedicated fryers which is usually great. This location has unfortunately glutened me twice within the past year, first with including breaded jalapeno coins in my burger, and then with giving me a normal gluten bun instead of a gluten free bun. If you have any allergies, be careful with this location.

Homegrown hangout boasting craft beer and unique (and dare I say, gourmet) hotdog combos—personal favorite is the “Classy Lady”. Always delicious with excellent, speedy service. Delighted to see gluten free buns on the menu!

Good place! I'm not super adventurous so my meal wasn't anything great (my fault 100%). But the menus list what's Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, and what has dairy, which was great because we had three people who fell into one of those categories.

Nothing compares to the entire experience of dining at Jeff Ruby’s! I went with my family about a month ago and can’t wait to go back. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional and the food was fantastic. Our server, Patrick was awesome. They even accommodated my gluten intolerance and made some yummy mocktails since I don’t drink.

We ate on the patio. 3 of us, early evening. The guys got specialty burgers and I ordered a chicken n bacon sandwich, no bun. I asked for them to make sure there was NO pepper or spices on the sandwich. Then I asked if they had fried peppers of any kind and if so, do they fry them in the same fryer as the FF. They said they jave them, but they can fry my FF in their gluten free fryer. So I ordered this. Another server brought our food. It had a few very appealing fried vegetable circles on my chicken sandwich. I asked what they were. They put fried jalapeños on my chicken sandwich! After I spent time explaining why I could not eat peppers of any kind. They were directly on my chicken so they had to make a completely new one. My guys had gotten their food so they were just about done by the time my corrected food came out. The chicken did not have spices on it, but they again screwed it up. I had asked for them to just not serve the bun and no sauce. I should have gotten lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese and chicken, plus a side of FF. Instead, I got one small piece of chicken with a piece of cheese and an order of FF. The chicken was good, even though not what I ordered. I could still taste a bit of heat to it- they probably did not have a clean spot to grill it so it may have had a bit of pepper. We did not go inside so I do not know the condition of the interior. The server was pleasant. The outside dining area was relatively clean. We would probably eat there again if we were in the area.

We loved our breakfast on Father’s Day. Hayden gave great service. I was pleased to find both a vegetarian and gluten free menu. Gluten free pancakes were amazing!

Zaida Lane-Shephard

Our family absolutely loves JT's Pizza and wings! The gluten-free crust is a standout—it’s incredibly tasty and one of the best we’ve had. It’s become a household staple for us. Whether we're ordering for a quick meal or a special treat, JT's never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Nice causal place to eat, offers a full bar with indoor and outdoor seating options. They do have a few gluten-free options. Their salads were amazing and came in a huge portion!

Best diner in Columbus! I had this place saved in my 'want to go' list and finally found myself there. I'm blown away! The best scrambled eggs and homefries anywhere, hands down! (I'm looking at you Hang Over Easy) As if they couldn't get better, gluten-free bread is also on the menu 😋 Great service, great people, great food

Jerome Monaco

We had our best dining experience ever in Columbus, Ohio. Austin was our server, and he knocked it out of the ballpark. My son has gluten allergies, and they made sure he was safe! We've made new friends with Tom and Austin. Way to go! Everyone should visit for a great meal.

Lior Seidel

GF & FD options, they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer!

Kim Burgess

Place was absolutely slammed with post church crowds when we went, but thanks to excellent management and really hard working employees everything from ordering to receiving food was extremely quick and easy. The manager took our order, and was super gracious about a gluten free dietary need in our party. He was very proud to let us know they were one of the only fast food chains to offer a gluten free burger, with a safely packaged gluten free bun and a burger prepared on a clean grill. He also bragged about how great his staff (mostly teenagers) are, which to me is just another sign of a well run establishment. Would absolutely recommend this Culver's to anyone.

Chrissy Tsao

Food was excellent. There is dairy in their acai breakfast bowl so be sure to specify if you want it dairy free or gluten free. Friend ordered the fish burger and loved it. She was in town for a few days and ended up there three times that week! Both pizzas was also great. Homemade ginger beer was also good as was their fresh squeezed OJ.

We celebrated National Margarita Day with a pitcher of “Mustache Rides” and we were pleasantly surprised! Don’t be fooled by the size of the pitcher, they pack a punch for sure. We do wish they would back off on the ice a bit in the pitcher allowing more of the margarita goodness to serve the 4 of us. None the less, it was a tasty concoction. As for the food, this will be one of our regular stops from now one. Queso, guac, and salsa are all highly recommended. The chips and salsa are “help yo’self”, as much as you like. Genius! The tacos slap and be sure to upgrade to Weesy-style because the goodness overtook the importance of mindful eating at that point. They go out of their way of helping you save a buck while filling your belly on Tuesdays with a price cut on their tacos and I would suggest getting in early. Be generous to the staff, they really do a great job! Atmosphere has a funky vibe and a great playlist. If you are looking for gluten-free options, you will feel right at home.

(EDIT: Literally this was the only place I went to that day besides my family's house, none of whom have this virus. Again, I RARELY write a bad review, but I'm currently immune compromised and just had the worst week with my family battling this illness because we went to a restaurant with expensive food that was nothing to rave about. And believe me, I'm mad at my family for picking the place too. I've worked in restaurants and I know how important good reviews are, but this was my honest experience and I have never been so regretful about going somewhere. I'd still put one star for the food and cramped atmosphere alone, but I am furious at their response.) I rarely write a bad review, but I had to make an exception for this because I am that angry. My family went here to meet up with family because one person is gluten-free and insisted on it. Never again. We paid $11 for a kids grilled cheese and I got chips & salsa for $9. I thought the chips would be homemade, but no, they came in a bag. If I'm going to pay that much for it, the chips better be homemade. To top off the experience, I now have norovirus and I am fairly certain I got it from here. My family nearly stayed home and I wish we had. I am praying none of my other family members get it. Please make sure to wash your hands thoroughly and often, and don't rely on hand sanitizer, which doesn't do anything to prevent you from getting norovirus. I am pretty good about washing my hands for 20 seconds & I still got it. I've never regretted going somewhere more than this place.

I’m relatively new to the area, however my first experience visiting this place was awesome. Great overall everything. But afterwards my experience hasn’t been the best, particularly at this location. I cannot eat gluten, as I have Celiac disease, so I try as much as I can to eat home, plus Ohio doesn’t really have many safe places for me to eat, but at least once a week I have to eat at this taco company, but if I can avoid coming to this location I do. I’ve tried ordering to go, eat in and there’s always something with the servers and management. They are either racist or just unhappy with their life. Second time I visited I order to go, they gave my order to someone else. Third time I tried to eat at the bar but no one came to take my order. The server who’s more gay than I could ever be didn’t even acknowledge me nor advised the bartender to take my order. Then I went to eat with my spouse, again the same gay guy was our server, he sits next to you like he is at his house, then after he takes your order he forgets you completely. This last time I decided I will never go back to that location, I actually didn’t even eat because they didn’t send me a server to take my order. Their actions and attitude, are not the best customer service. There are some exceptions of people there that are genuinely nice, but when we arrived this last time, we wanted to eat outside, they encouraged us to eat in, then they sat us at the very end of the restaurant, however who sat us terrible customer service, she just rushed to the table leaving us behind to put the menus on the table and left us there, didn’t even tell us who our server was. I wasn’t even sure if she wanted us to sit or not cuz she did not addressed us at all. We asked to changed tables because we simply didn’t want to sit where that lady wanted us to sit. Then we waited about 10 minutes and no one came to even bring us water. We simply got up and left, never again will I go back to Easton location unless they change their attitude or staff, but I guess I’ll never know. Food is great but everything else not so much. If y’all have personal issues my recommendation is to leave them at home, take a class on how to deal with the public and maybe draw a smile on your faces with a sharpe.
