Top 25 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Franklin

Elliott Franklin

Love the local farm burgers. We have a gluten allergy and they always take great care of us. Highly recommend!

Star U

FANTASTIC pizza and wings! I am a complete cocktail snob and thoroughly enjoyed both cocktails. Fourth time in, and many, many more to go. Hugely recommend if gluten free, baked wings and gluten free pizza are amazing in their own respect and compared to nongluten free

Betsy Keller

Brian was an awesome server and the food was delicious. I eat gluten free and they have a gluten free menu!

I was excited to read that this place offered gluten free treats but after walking in and seeing the gluten free items directly beside the regular I did not feel safe to purchase and eat anything there. Cross contamination is highly likely. Eating gluten free is not a choice for many of us. Our bodies react adversely to gluten and makes us ill. To whomever the owner is: please consider placing the gluten free items in a separate area along with separate tongs and teach your employees about cross contamination and the need to change gloves for the safety and health of those who have to avoid it for health sake.

This place is a little slice of heaven with healthy, fresh food, tasteful island vibes and exemplary service to match! The only thing we regret about eating here is that we can't bring the restaurant back to Ohio with us! In our visit to Franklin TN this place was absolutely a favorite and so conclusive to gluten free, no seed oils etc. The staff was so pleasant and uplifting and the food was seriously delicious! We so enjoyed hanging out on the back patio. The fish was amazing, loved the flight of frozen drinks and dessert. SO good, please open another in Dayton, OH!

James Patton

This place is underrated and a hidden gem. The cowboy arepa was excellent, meat was perfect, flavor was phenomenal, and unlike some arepas I’ve had in the past, this one was not too greasy My wife got the empanada plate and absolutely loved it; they can also accommodate gluten free/celiac We will for sure be back here!

Redonda Homesley

Their food was really good! I ordered my burger on the gluten-free bun, it came out warm and soft.

Karen Corn

A huge shout out to our waiter, Victor! I have a lot of food allergies and he checked recipes and ingredients for me so thoroughly. When I declined biscuits because my husband and I are gluten free, he realized that my husband had ordered an entree which contained gluten and returned with a gluten free menu. Eating out can be very frustrating for someone with food allergies. Victor made our experience at Franklin Chop House a very pleasant one!

Ruby Jenkins

Great atmosphere and a wide variety of food that was all delicious. They offer Gluten Free and Vegan options as well. We really enjoyed our dinner.

Tess Ricci

We came here for a birthday celebration, and we were so impressed! The Mahi Mahi was lovely, and so was the pork! I wasn't terribly blown away by the red beans and rice, but since it's just a side, it didn't really affect my experience. Gluten Free items are clearly marked on the menu, and the staff takes allergies very seriously, which I greatly appreciated. There aren't too many options, probably 3 entrees, 3 sides, and 2 salads, but what they do offer is very nice.

Rebecca Ramey

Salmon was AMAZING and gluten free!!

Nancy Little

The ONLY thing good here was the pizza. The trashcan by the front door was overflowing! We came at 11 am so there is no reason for this! Walking into the foyer the mat has not been vaccumed in days! There was no employee to greet us nor a sign directing to seat ourselves. The menu was beyond sticky. They have done away with the lunch special so I was stuck paying the dinner price! Went to the restroom and after I washed my hands I found out they had no paper towels! STAY AWAY! Apparently they have stopped caring! And very little Gluten Free choices so my husband just skipped eating .

Mike Lenda

Definitely our favorite burger. Always fresh, friendly and clean. Fries are also just awesome - my favorite is the lettuce wrapped, perfect for those of us who are gluten-free.

Janet Duncan

I eat healthy Vegan, gluten-free and organic with very little sugar, BrickTop was accommodating for me. The service was excellent!

Lisa Mayberry

Tried the new taco spot in Cool Springs. Several gluten free options to build your own tacos clearly marked on the menu. Even tasty fire seasoned hard shells. Aqua frescas were very tasty as well, many flavors to choose from.

Collette Crider

You can't go wrong with southern cooking and atmosphere. They accommodated my gluten free diet and everyone enjoyed dinner.

Crystal May

Wow! Excellent in every way! We were promptly seated. The ambience is very cozy and elegant. The bathrooms were clean. We got steak and salmon, and the food is 5 stars, perfectly cooked and well-balanced. The prices are very reasonable. Our server Nicholas went over and beyond. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, made good suggestions, and was prompt. There are some good gluten and dairy-free options. We could not ask for more, and we’ll be back.

Linda Hansen

Enjoyed a work holiday dinner at Red Pony last evening. It was an amazing experience. Being gluten free, I was delighted to see the special attention given to my food. The rice served with the salmon was amazing and the chef kindly wrote the recipe down so I can attempt to recreate this delight. I plan to revisit after the holidays and indulge in the Brussels sprouts with pork belly. Everyone was thrilled with the quality of the food, the presentation and the caring staff. You can’t go wrong here.

Julia

The have gluten free options for pizza and sandwiches but the food is average.

Laura Fittz

AMAZING. I have severe health restrictions (no beef, rice, dairy, gluten, etc.), and I just had the BEST dinner at Ground. I could make my own turkey burger with a lettuce bun - and a whole baked sweet potato as a side 🔥 i’m ready to come back tomorrow!

Ashley Reber

I went here for the first time specifically for sushi. They have gluten-free soy sauce available, and there are sushi rolls marked as “gluten-free” on the menu (I have celiac), however, the malt vinegar they put on their sushi rice for flavoring, like all malt vinegar, contains gluten. Thank goodness I asked and my server checked with cook staff. I was really disappointed to not be able to have sushi with the rest of my party. I had the salmon with broccoli instead and while not a substitute for sushi, it was good.

Lisa Mayberry

First time at this location, have been to others before in other states. They had a completely separate allergen menu with all the keto and gluten-free items. I had the eggs cochon which were very good. Usually pretty crowded so put your name on the online wait list.

Ryien B

Destiny was so personal and absolutely amazing. She was attentive, the food was amazing! and as someone with a gluten sensitivity I felt confident and happy with my order. She was so friendly and would definitely come back and ask for her again!

Andy Johnson

I ate lunch here today with a friend and what I observed was a manager who really cares about people and his customers. I have celiac disease and he went above and beyond to make sure my food was prepared correctly. Also, there was a table of state troopers, and he comped their whole meal!

Eva Cruz

Ground Restaurant in Cool Springs was absolutely fantastic! My brother and I both have celiac disease, and we were thrilled to enjoy a meal here without any issues. The gluten-free buns were perfectly soft and flavorful, and the fries, prepared in a dedicated non-contaminated fryer, were crispy and delicious. Everything was incredibly satisfying, yet light and easy on the stomach. On top of that, the workers were incredibly hospitable, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. This place is a must-visit for anyone seeking safe, gluten-free dining that doesn’t compromise on taste. Highly recommend!
