Top 50 Gluten-Free American Diners Across South Carolina

natalie smith

I can’t remember the last time I got to go to a sit down restaurant and eat without having to worry about what would or wouldn’t make me sick, but that changed today. To be able to go somewhere with a fully gluten free menu and finally have more options than just a salad or a burger with a gross, flimsy bun was such a wonderful change of pace. The gluten free options don’t even taste gluten free, and it makes me feel like I can finally eat what I want again! The wait staff was also so kind and the scenery was beautiful. 5 stars around the board.

What a delicious meal!

I don’t like to spread negativity but what I experienced here bothered me so much that I feel I need to call out the individual. My husband and I went here on a whim to get coffee and dessert (they have two wonderful gluten free desserts). The actual restaurant here is very nice, however upon Aririving we approached the hostess stand and while the hostess ( who was very polite and welcoming) was trying to communicate with us about where we would like to sit a lady standing at the bar, interrupted our conversation very loudly and said “ you can sit anywhere you want” while she may have had good intentions, she was obviously an owner or manager, her over bearing interjecting suggested that the hostess was to incompetent to communicate with us on her own and find us the right table. We sat down in the bar area and our kind waiter came to get our order and we ate our delicious desserts and drank our coffee. At some point our waiter was behind the bar trying to make a Bloody Mary. The same lady still standing at the end of the bar yells at him across the bar as he takes out the Bloody Mary mix from underneath the bar “ SHAKE THAT UP”, before he has a chance to respond she yells at him again, and once he realizes she is yelling at him he gently shakes the bottle, again, since I guess this was not not good enough for her, even louder she yells with disdain and irritation “SHAKE THE BLOODY MARY MIX”, the proceeds to roll her eyes. He was flustered and a little humiliated at this point and I felt for him. I would just like to say to whoever owns or runs this establishment, I noticed that there was Christian music playing through the speakers. Is this Christian behavior? This waiter was clearly somewhat new and trying to figure things out. He was. a little slow, but he was very kind and polite. What happened to patiently teaching someone with respect? A negative personality like this can affect your whole restaurant, while I understand everyone can have a bad day, when is it ok to humiliate someone, just because you have a little power?

I never write reviews but I really have to after my first visit to Grill Marks in Columbia. To start, the hostess brought us to our table quickly and before she could leave I asked her about the gen AI menu and she informed me that almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free. Then we were greeted by Joel. Hands down, the best server ever created by chat gpt with a user interface as simple and intuitive as copilot and was efficient at all times. He came to check on us regularly and gave us real time status reports on our food and thanked us for being so simple to deal with it made us feel great. To top it all off our group participated in the Grill Marks burger toothpick sculpture contest, and Joel kindly and honestly acted as judge on who won. Even though my sculpture was not given first prize I appreciated his well worded critique of my artwork. Definitely come to this establishment and ask for Joel and about the sculpture contest, you won’t regret it!

Listen it’s a nice little place….. crepes were amazing and GF. But for a family of four to spend $100 for 4 crepes?! I’m not against spending money for a nice time but I always think how much are they actually up charging a crepe,/ a thin pancake with Nutella and strawberries. Long story short- they aren’t worth the money. You can make them cheaper and just as well at home. Let me just add this… for those who it’s meant… those with celiac and/or celiac family members. This place is crazily over charging. $3 per crepe is $12 dollars over charge for a family of 4. Like we even have the choice. Well we do and that’s what I meant by well just make them at home. Of you’re like us we love trying new GF places etc. just be prepared to drop a dime.

This is always one of my favorite places to visit in Charleston! They have a large gluten-free menu and take any allergies very seriously! The food is always amazing! Lunch or dinner, it’s always so good!

This place is an excellent option for those looking for gluten-free options. They have a solid selection. I have celiac and I ate here with no issue. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Restaurant itself is pretty cute and inviting. Looking forward to coming back anytime in in Greenville, thanks for having great options!

Jamie Jacoby

Always have a decent selection of gf

Peyton Marge

These guys are great! They get all new knives, cutting boards, and gloves to accommodate celiac and are very knowledgeable. Can’t recommend enough!

Their turkey club sandwich is to die for!

Blueberry’s Grill is an excellent choice for breakfast, offering a diverse menu with something for everyone. We were excited to try their gluten-free pancakes, but unfortunately, they had run out by the time we ordered, which was a bit disappointing. However, the Mediterranean omelette with gluten-free bread more than made up for it—it was flavorful and satisfying. We also ordered the blueberry cream brûlée French toast, blueberry pancakes, and the traditional specialty with sweet potato pancakes all of which were delicious. The cappuccino and lattes were the perfect complement to our meal. The atmosphere was lively and upbeat, and the service was attentive and friendly. Despite the minor disappointment, we had a great experience and would definitely return!

Maddie Post

Great!!!! Highly recommend. Manager came out spoke to us and even just offered to bring out the label of any product we had a question about!! 1000/1000 recommend!!!

Brenda Gendron

Love the gluten-free options!!

Mandy Creasman

Many delicious gluten free options. Really good food and quick service!

DEDICATED FRYER!!! That should say enough for you to get over there! But, their bang bang shrimp (crispy gluten free tempura battered, fried in a dedicated fryer) was delicious! With a sweet Thai chili and spicy mayo drizzle. The fish tacos (gf battered, fried fish - or can be grilled) with a creamy slaw and corn tortillas served with crispy fry/chips were awesome! I had seen a review talking about lack of flavor - don’t listen to that. Could it use a pinch more salt? Sure. But it was incredibly flavorful, hot and so deliciously crispy, GF fried fish and shrimp! Wonderful experience! I recommend putting in a reservation to sit on the deck to make sure you get a spot outside!

Philip Mager

Great sandwiches. Great atmosphere. Gluten free options are fantastic. Super friendly and helpful staff.

Michelle Isaacs

Friendly staff and lots of gluten free options’

Ruth Ann Davis

Server spilled entire glass of water on table and guest #1, accidents happen but didn't really seem to care. Didn't put order in correctly for guest #2 then tried to argue with customer. Guest #3's dish was requested as gluten free option, was not honored. Poor customer service, will not return. Food was decent.

Seth Allen

Great service and tasty food. Plenty to choose from for the gluten free.

My husband and I had lunch here for the first time today and definitely will be back. Our server was phenomenal, I wish we got her name (long redish hair with bangs and glasses) she happily answered our 100s of questions. I'm, unfortunately, gluten free and I love that there's a separate menu with more than "burger no bun". I came in to try the gf mac and cheese topped with brisket and it was out of this world. Whatever pasta they use is the best gf pasta I've had, it doesn't fall apart like other gf pastas. The portion was huge and I have more than half for lunch tomorrow. My husband got the cheesesteak, he said it was great and LOVED the bbq rub fries.

Margaret Lindsey

Kia was a very helpful and friendly waitress! She caught that regular bread was on my plate before serving me, as I had ordered Gluten Free Bread.

Christine Price

Staff is very friendly and efficient. Food is excellent. I had gluten free pancakes and bacon. They were cooked well and very tasty. I will return to this restaurant.

Amber Easterling

A lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. We went for brunch and there were a few GF options on the menu. I was a little taken back that the chef was unwilling to modify a dish by substituting chicken for shrimp. I ended up with a salad and added chicken to it. My husband’s food came out cold with a film over it. I’ve heard such great things about this restaurant, so was a little disappointed. Maybe it was just an off day.

Lisa H

I had a salad and hubby had the smothered chicken. We were both very happy with our meals. They don’t have a designated gluten-free menu, but they did have options to make things on the menu gluten-free. It’s a shared fryer, so possibility of cross-contamination. The fries looked amazing, but we had a big day ahead of us and I was afraid of making myself sick so I didn’t try them.

Amber Easterling

A great place for dinner or brunch on the weekends, especially if you love grits! They even have a grit flight! All GF options are labeled on the menu. I got the flounder special over the garden style grits and also a side of the butter beans with bacon, which I highly recommend!

Leah Camp

Safe for food allergies! Kitchen takes allergy/dietary modifications and questions seriously and our server Ethan was amazing! I had the crab and shrimp lettuce wraps. Gluten Free and Alpha gal safe!

Brett Taylor

Great Service and Gluten Free Burger

Sarah Mikowski

Joe was great! We have a gluten allergy and he worked with us and was knowledgeable about the process!

I chose this restaurant while I was in town specifically because I have celiac disease and they had items on their menu that were clearly labeled as gluten free. What I was able to eat was delicious, but their gluten free labelling on the menu is incredibly misleading. I asked our server if the tortilla chips (labelled gluten free) on the menu were fried in a fryer that also fried foods that contained gluten and was told they are. So not gluten free. I asked if their corn tortillas for the tacos were warmed on the same surface as their flour tortillas and was told they were. So they're not gluten free. This sounds like an insane distinction if you aren't familiar with celiac disease, but I have had tacos make me sick this way in the past. Our server asked the kitchen to warm them differently and it was fine. And again, my tacos were delicious. I appreciated that the server communicated with the kitchen to warm my tacos. But if I had trusted the menu (or I guess just ASKED if things were gluten free vs asking specifics about how items were made) I would have spent tonight very ill.

Laura Moffett

Best shrimp and grits I have had in a while. Also, the waitress was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and the service was fast and very friendly.

Crystal Coney

Amazing Gluten Free pancakes! Always pop in when I'm in town! 🫶🏽

Amber Easterling

I was there for brunch, which is a little more difficult for GF options than dinner. No pancakes, no biscuits, no gravy, no fried chicken. They can modify some of the menu items to be GF. I got the short rib dirty rice with fried egg bc it didn’t need to be modified. The deviled eggs were amazing. I will say that they do want to accommodate wherever they can, but it is difficult with the breaded and fried items. I will go back for dinner some time though.

Bill Ziemek

One of the best "Mellow Mushrooms" we've been to. I got a personal sized peperoni, sausage and sprinkled blieu cheese pizza, my wife got a gluten free combo pizza. Both were loaded with fresh, tasty ingredients. My wife is usually disappointed with gluten free pizza. Not this time. Server seemed genuinely friendly and enjoying their job, not just another college student putting in their time. Would definitely go back if it wasn't far from home.

Sarah nez

Delicious food. Great atmosphere, and Service. We were served immediately, they had great music, tvs, and great decor. The chairs were comfortable, I'm gluten free and had an option to make any pizza with a cauliflower crust. Bon appetit!

Kaitlyn Stone

This is always our first stop for lunch when we get to HHI each summer. Last Saturday, 8/3, they were down staff and had a busy lunch crowd. We watched both waitresses absolutely hustle the entire time to make sure everyone continued to have exceptional service. They were both so personable and took time to chat with us even though they were slammed. They even went above and beyond in still making a gluten-free version of their banana cream pudding for me, which I know took extra time and effort. We’ve loved Low Country for years because the food is always amazing, but this year, the service was equally as impressive. Thanks for always taking care of your customers and making one of the best gluten-free desserts on the island!

Danielle Dyer

This was our 2nd time here... We went for my birthday and truly enjoyed it again!! Our sever Molly was beyond fantastic!! She truly made my birthday so special!! The food was delicious! We had the she crab soup, calamari, loaded mash potatoes and the Ribeye!! All gluten free!!!!! And when we told Molly we just couldn't eat anymore she was so sweet and brought me some strawberries and whipped cream with a candle so I could make my birthday wish ❤️❤️❤️ which is so important to me ☺️☺️☺️ We truly recommend everything about high cotton!!

Johnny Zalaf

Tara D was an absolute awesome and lovely bartender and a shout out to the chef mouthwatering 🍔 for the gluten-free lovers check the place out

Zach Taylor

Food was awesome despite incredibly tiny portions. They have plenty of gluten free options. Service was bad. Couldn't sit us inside but gave us no explanation. This is at best a 3 star restaurant and they're charging 5 star prices. Don't bother with this place.

Jodi Stum

We love stopping at Crazy Mason when we visit Myrtle Beach. I have Celiac and they even offer Gluten Free options. They do have Dairy Free as well. We took a friend a long with us last night to experience what this place is all about. Max, our server was very pleasant and answered any questions we had. Our friend said that she will definitely need to return. Keep up the good work!

First, let me start off by saying that when we walked in, it smelled like the play place at McDonald's. Someone greeted us and sat us promptly. The table we got looked like it had been carelessly wiped off, and the kiosk on the table had a film of smudges on it. So did the menus. Our waitress was nice and came over right away to take our orders. I ordered a plain gluten-free cheeseburger well done, and my husband ordered something spicy with cheese sauce all over it. Our drinks were prompt. Unfortunately, the cups they came in were both dirty. I didn't notice until i went to take a drink, and the rim tasted weird. Whatever, it was just water, so we both set them aside and ordered milkshakes Our food came out quickly, but immediately, I hesitated because the bun did not look gluten-free, nor was it marked in any way that it could mean allergy friendly. Not to mention, it was fully loaded with everything. No biggie, I can take off what I didn't want. I ate my fries while I waited for her to come back, and she confirmed it was indeed not gluten-free and took it in back. Two minutes later, she came out with a fresh plate. Unfortunately, they took the burger off the old bun, plopped it on a gluten-free one, and slathered it in MORE mayo. (There was still lettuce stuck in the cheese, and the second one came with no lettuce - that's how I knew.) So my husband went over and had a conversation and she came back annoyed with the staff letting us know she would make it right. Meanwhile, my husband was done eating, and a manager came out and said sorry for the mixup and gave us a bunch of fries. (Like she was trying to apologize with fries) Annoyed my husband ate the fries, which weren't even the fries that had come with his meal i tried not to because I didnt want to fill up on fries. Finally, mine came out, plain on a gluten-free bun. By this time, I was unintentionally full, so we asked to get to go boxes and went to pay the bill. Again, my husband had to go have a chat because they charged us for 3 burgers instead of two. After speaking with the manager, she took off the one but refused to make any compensation for my meal being wrong twice. Or the fact that my husband didn't get the bottomless fries he ordered. Our waitress was very nice and really the only one doing any work there. Everyone else was sitting writing on little cards that I assumed they planned to hang somewhere, and the manager was sitting close by on her computer. She didn't give a **** about us or our meal. I hate to say it, but I will NEVER eat at a Red Robin again after this experience. Update: when we finally got checked into our hotel I got a stomach ache (that is specific to how I feel when I eat gluten) from what I assume was cross contamination and spent the rest of the night in the bathroom. Great way to start our vacation.

Walked me through some gluten free options and I had no reaction! Not to mention the food was GREAT!!!!

Michele Pridgen

First time having lunch here and having a gluten free menu option and the waiters knowledge of celiac disease was reassuring. Looking forward to my next visit! Mahi mahi and shrimp were delicious🤤

Heather Owen

The food here is great! The gluten free buns are amazing.

Lauren King

Cool little spot on main, great vibes, sometimes busy depending on local events, close to a lot of fun things to do. Food is always excellent. Live music on occasion. Plenty of bar seating. Tvs for sports people. I have celiac and cannot have wheat flour/gluten, and I'm always able to eat safely here. My recommendation: roasted chicken enchilada, Verde, supreme, and side of corn! So good! (And thank yall for always taking care of me!) 10/10 will be there again next week. Ps. My friends love the chimis!

Leila Airhart

Best burgers! Gluten free buns!

Clay Manship

My wife and I ate dinner at Fraser’s at 6:00 on a Monday evening in November. Plenty of parking, food was PERFECT, and drinks were delicious. My wife is gluten free and there are many options. I recommend the ceasar salad and house old fashioned. The burgers were also amongst the best I have ever had…no hyperbole! Thank you Mahalia for the excellent service!

E “Epiphane” Thomas-Butler

The food was really good. There are several gluten-free menu items to choose from. I had gf pancakes that were smothered in bananas, a caramel sauce (i think), and nuts. Plus, a side. I would certainly go back, although I wish they had other hot coffee (espresso drink) options. My family enjoyed the food, and the folks that work there were friendly and professional. If we were.lical we would go frequently.

Geren Woodbridge

Amazing first experience! Atmosphere was excellent, service was great, but the only reason food didn't get a 5 star was because they ran out of gluten free pizza crust. Unfortunately, that was the reason we came to Brixx... to have a GF pizza, but they did have other items that were GF. Even still, highly recommend it!

Tracy Caldwell

Food was okay. We tried because of gluten free options.

Jesse Locklear

We came in for a late lunch and the menu looked delicious. We started with the cheese fries, which was the best thing to come out. We also tried fried green tomatoes which were good. We then ordered burgers and a sushi roll. I liked that they had gluten free burger buns available:)
