Top 16 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Bend

Amazing food and staff were friendly & knowledgeable about celiac/gluten free precautions needed. I was told the owners have celiac which made me feel extra safe eating here. Highly recommend the bbq shrimp and espresso martini (one of the best I've had!)

Drive 75 miles out of our way so my wife can enjoy a draft gluten free beer and they are out of it!! This is a frickin brewery... Could at least have a can available when they forget to brew. Very disappointing, long trip☹️

Excellent choice of bowls, burritos, salads and more. Please type of Vegan and gluten-free meals, too. Delicious and healthy; we had the Harvest Bowl and Bollywood Bowl.

Stopped in here for a burger and some maple bacon sweet potato fries and came out super impressed. Total Bend, Oregon vibes, chill people and great service. Would totally come back. Offers both plant based, beef, and a 50/50 patty of plants and beef. Also Gluten Free options and a fryer dedicated for gluten free allergies. A Plus. Come here for a great burger. Try the Chup and fries.

I love this restaurant. The food and drinks especially the morning cocktails are exceptional. The staff and waitresses were so sweet and attentive, patient with a smile. High recommend the food here, perfectly cooked scallops, shrimp and lobster on an eggs Benedict with morel mushrooms absolutely made my day. Gluten free options available and made to request. I waited over 38 years to finally visit this restaurant even though I knew it had a great reputation but now it's apart of life forever.

My wife has celiacs. This is one of a few GF options in town. They take good care to keep everything seperated from glutened items. Thank you so much! Though under staffed still decent service.

Just had a great meal! A group of 6 of us were seated immediately. The server was very friendly. Every single dish you could tell was made with love and great flavor. I loved all the gluten free options. All the garnishes and dishes were thoughtfully made and everything seemed extremely fresh.

This was my first time at Cafe Yum! It was delicious. Food was very fresh. Workers were friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the variety. Gluten free and vegan options too, which is always a plus! I will definitely go again next time I'm in Oregon!

Abby Long

HIGHLY recommend!! Their biscuits and gravy, and breakfast tostadas are amazing! The portions are great. So happy they had gluten free options along with their vegan food! We'll definitely be back.

The food and service were both fantastic. The restaurant also has an excellent view. They have a good number of gluten-free options and those options are clearly marked on their menu which is very helpful for the gluten intolerant such as myself!

We made reservations a week ahead for Mother’s Day. We were traveling from Idaho and ended a seven hour drive with dinner at the grill in Bend. We were a few minutes early and checked in- Two adults, six kids including a baby in high chair. We were waiting quite a while, especially with a reservation. The deck seemed very inviting but were told it was booked even though not full. Indoors, the restaurant was very loud so we waited outside about 25 minutes. We were seated indoors after reminding the hostess that we were still waiting. She could see us from her desk but I felt forgotten. The food was excellent with gluten free calamari as the star. I had a wedge salad, no dairy, add shrimp. It came covered in blue cheese dressing so I had to send it back. It came quickly back but the shrimp were cold. The waitress did bring me some more shrimp without being asked. My daughter had prime rib and it was just okay. A bit fatty and tough. Her sides were good. The kids had the little bento boxes which were very creative and fun, giving several choices. They are every bite. We seemed to wait forever for water and were never asked about a drink refill. I know they were busy but staffing seemed scant.

A true heritage tradition in Bend, the Pines with it's two pine trees rising though the floor and ceiling, offers great food, superb service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Our reservation was for 5:30 and the restaurant was already busy. We were quickly seated in the back overlooking the water. Our waiter was a high energy person and was very attentive without making us feel hurried. The steak fries and garlic fries appitizers were both great, although the steak fries would be my choice next time. I had the pulled pork without the bun (gluten intolerance) and was offered seasonal vegetables ( superb green beans ) all of which were very tasty. My wife had the chicken Marsala which after I had a taste was a much better choice. Our companions had the blackened rockcod and rib eye steak which they enjoyed. The Pines has an excellent wine and beer list. Wine is offered by the bottle or glass. All in all an excellent dinning experience. If you have not been be sure to try it.

Went in at the suggestion of a friend and glad we went. If you're in the need of some happy comfort food, this is a great option. I ordered a sandwich called "Border Patrol" which had bacon, jalapeno, fried onions, and lots of cheese. I ordered a full sandwich but found half was rich and dense enough to satisfy my appetite. We also ordered churros and they were delicious also. Plenty of parking near the world market and Meltz has indoor and outdoor seating. They do have gluten free bread and vegan cheese, but I didn't try these so can't say how these taste.
