Top 35 Gluten-Free American Spots to Enjoy in Houston

Jenna

Bellagreen is an absolute gem, especially if you have dietary restrictions. As someone with celiac, EoE, and MCAS, eating out can feel like a gamble—but Bellagreen makes it so much easier. Their gluten-free menu is extensive, clearly labeled, and the staff is always patient and knowledgeable about allergens. The food is fresh, flavorful, and never feels like a compromise. I’m a big fan of their gluten-free pastas and bowls—the ingredients taste high quality, the portions are generous, and I leave feeling good every time. It’s rare to find a place that balances flavor, health-conscious options, and safety this well. Whether you’re managing food sensitivities or just want a nourishing meal in a beautiful setting, Bellagreen always delivers.

I ordered through Uber Eats. The food quality was FANTASTIC. Love the gluten-free options. I even appreciate the containers the food came in. I'll order more often. Thank you for QUALITY.

Bellagreen is one of my go-to spots as a celiac girlie! Their commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients and clearly labeled gluten-free options makes dining out so much easier. But let’s talk about the real star—the sweet potato fries! Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. It’s rare to find safe gluten-free fries, and these are next level! The staff is also super accommodating and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for safe and delicious gluten-free eats!

Our server Riley was such a delight! He took care of us and made sure we had warm teas on this extremely cold night! Our family had appetizers, main dishes and dessert all Gluten Free. Highly recommend coming here - we will certainly be back! Try the brussel sprouts, spicy panang curry, lasagna and flourless chocolate cake!

Peggy Braddock

They have gluten free options which taste great. Having those options makes this my favorite place!

AG

Great all around. I have celiac and when I told them, they made sure to cook everything very safely without cross contamination. Thank you! Will be back!

Kat Spofford

They have awesome gluten free chocolate chip cashew cookies, and desserts. Salads are really good too.

Monica Leitzel

This was a pretty neat place. My husband and I both enjoyed our food. They were able to accommodate my food sensitivities. The bee sting pancakes which are seasonal were really good. Was able to get them in gluten free. Their chicken sausage was good as well. My husband tried the pineapple upside down pancakes (not gluten free) and loved them. Looking forward to dining in again and trying other options

Erica Guerra

Nice breakfast spot with tasty options for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac. I ordered the pancake flight: gluten free, And it was some of the fluffiest and most amazing pancakes ever! Highly recommend the cinnamon roll and the strawberry cream one, it was an amazing experience over all.

Samantha

Really great burger joint, quite a few gluten free options on birger choices with very good shakes. All around I am very satisfied with our experience. I would highly recommend!

Ruth Brown

Great gluten free options and it is delicious. The prices are a little high and the sides and drinks are on the small side. I paid almost $3 for a bottle of Diet Coke to find out it was a mini one.

Rebekah Terry

This restaurant deserves a Michelin Star ⭐️ It does NOT disappoint. From the ambience, to the service, to the food…everything was absolutely perfect 😍 vegan/gluten free options and dessert! Excellent mocktail..favorite restaurant at this point. Must try!!

yajaira escobedo

Food is good but pretty loud inside to have a conversation however we went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy. I like the gluten free options for the pancakes.

Lara Sowell

We are in this restaurant this afternoon for lunch. I eat gluten free at my doctor’s direction. I ordered brisket and eggs. The brisket was served over grits and my husband ordered the gluten free pancakes for us to try. Everything was so delicious! Although next time I would cut the coconut from the pancakes. I also got a Hibiscus Rose Kombucha and a cappuccino.

Bethany Talarico

Portions have gotten smaller and prices have increased over the years, but it’s still a decent option for a gluten free brunch.

Ron Ronald

Great Mexican restaurant. I had the gluten-free enchiladas and a great reserve margareta. Fantastic location.

William Rogers III (Will)

This location only has to-go orders or sit outside options only! Many tables outside under a covering. The food was good and menu has several gluten or dairy free options.

Christi C.

Happy hour. We arrived in time for happy hour. The house margarita was great. The happy hour food menu was valued priced. We started with the happy hour guacamole. Excellent flavor. The salsa is excellent. I tried the beef taco, fish taco and smoked chicken skewers. Everything was very good.excellent place for gluten free.

Stephanie Willis

First time dining at Black Walnut Cafe. It was busy (as it was Easter), but there were plenty of seats. This is a “seat yourself” establishment, which is not really clear until until you walk into the restaurant. Once my party walked in, there was plenty of choice seating. The servers were professional and friendly and the food was good. The portion sizes were just right, but the gluten free pancakes were a little dry (even with syrup). The kids gluten free cheese burger and fries were good as was the Mac and cheese and grilled chicken. The experience was pleasant and we will definitely visit again.

Crisp is super yummmmy !! I really enjoy their gluten free pizzas and I’m gluten free . Love the drinks as well. Parking isn’t bad which is good, solid three stalls in the bathroom . The music isn’t super loud , The outside is nice on a good weather day. Happy hour is the way to go as the GF crust is an extra $6 which is steep tbh.

Megyn Blanchard

Cozy. Excellent food and service. Had the trout and shashito peppers and wine. So many gluten free options

Sara T

I love that there are ample gluten free options. I really enjoy the brussel sprouts appetizer and blackened salmon. Staff is very friendly--even the owner stopped by for a table visit and was really kind and welcoming.

Tianna Curry

There are plenty of gluten-free options!

Stephanie Andrews

This place is great! It’s one of the few places I can eat as a person allergic to wheat, almond flour, and Gluten. I love getting the candy bacon, the Sweet and Spicey wok and the Brussels sprouts. Most of the service is good. I typically get it delivered when my husband is away and it makes it so easy to have a nice special meal and not worry since I have four kids and fibromyalgia. On occasion though, instead of mixing together the ingredients for the Brussels sprouts they will be dry & thoroughly burnt and not as it’s intended to be. Last week the Brussels Sprouts were not thoroughly cook I had to throw them out. Today my food came wrong for the Sweet and spicey. And what’s funny is the tag had the correct name for my order! They actually slapped it on there without looking. This tells me they don’t check. We also paid for meat and it was a vegetarian meal. But I can’t complain too much since there was a lot of good broccoli. But there was no butter or sauce or flavor. As for this one it’s only happened twice for my main meal. If you’re gluten free I highly recommend this place. It’s pricey but worth not getting painfully sick and it’s a lovely treat. Thank you so much lazy Dog for creating a safe environment for me! Also the atmosphere with the fireplace and wood is lovely. The second time I went there though, there was leaking into buckets right near us. I hope it’s fixed by now, The only thing is, my kids don’t like anything there. But I’m in love!

The food is fresh and healthy here. I just wanted to warn those with severe gluten allergies not to necessarily order something with GF next to it. Here, it does not mean gluten free, it means gluten friendly, which is an unregulated term. In some cases, it means possibility of cross contamination from a fryer, etc. In this case, though, the goat cheese balls in our salad were covered in Panko breadcrumbs. Luckily we questioned what the crust was (Panko is gluten) before eating. It would have been a very dangerous situation due to extreme gluten allergy. I want to say that the server and manager couldn't have been kinder, or quicker to rectify. I do think the restaurant owner needs to know the danger in putting GF on the menu for an item like this, as there is nothing gluten friendly about it at all. That said, we had a nice meal and great service at the end, and would go back knowing to question any GF items before ordering.

Local Foods is a go-to spot for fresh, flavorful meals, and as a celiac girlie, I love that they offer clearly labeled gluten-free options! The ingredients are always high-quality, and their salads, bowls, and sandwiches (on GF bread!) never disappoint. The staff is also super helpful when it comes to dietary restrictions, which makes dining here such a stress-free experience. If you’re looking for a delicious and safe gluten-free meal in a casual yet stylish setting, this is the place!

Excellent gluten free bun!!! Fries were kept filled and our waitress was the most attentive I have ever had!!! She also had a fantastic sense of humor that kept us all on our toes. Table of 7 and nothing was missed from the kitchen and our drinks were kept full!!!

Kenzie K

The brunch food is okay and a bit overpriced. The drinks are amazing though and the staff is super friendly! They have gluten free options marked on the menu.

Nancy Halvorson

Wonderful brunch with a lot of variety! There is something for everyone here including gluten-free and vegetarian

Theresa Gates

We found this little gem while stopping through Houston as we were hunting for gluten free places to eat. I’m so glad we did. Our server Brooke helped us navigate all the sides that were gluten free and after our meal recommended the flan which we enjoyed even we were sooooo stuffed. Everything was absolutely great and atmosphere was amazing. I highly recommend a visit. Say hi to brook.

Sara Scherer Rougeau

Kito was our server and he was knowledgeable, patient and kind. He checked on all questions we had about gluten as my husband has celiac and gluten can ruin a night out. The food was spectacular. The environment was fabulous. Just an overall great dinner. We will be back. Thanks Kito.

Sheri Thompson

We had one of the best servers that I've had in all of my dining experiences. Bertha was very attentive and friendly. She brought new glasses of water when it was near empty and without us asking. Offered more fresh corn tortillas and confirmed gluten-free corn chips. Yummy food was delivered with a smile, too. 5 stars for Bertha⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Elle W

Lots of gluten free options.

Er Johnson

This was a nice dinner. We had great service and Gluten-free options. Portions were small, but we did not miss the extra. salsas were rich and fresh, which is rare to find in Houston. Try this place out, you might find layers of flavor on your regular dishes that you will certainly miss in other places.

I have been dining at this restaurant regularly for a few months, now that I've moved to Houston. My first experience was a couple of years ago. Since then, I would dine here most of the times I'd visit Houston, before I moved here. I have not had anything on the menu that I've disliked. In my opinion, you can't go wrong. I love the staff. I have always had a positive experience. As someone who suffers with food intolerances, namely gluten and dairy, it is always appreciated when there are gluten free and vegan options. The staff and chefs are happy to accommodate my intolerances with substitutions or alterations. This is always much appreciated. The only downside I can think of, is it will get busy during peak dining times. I tend to dine there during the off hours when it's slow, but you will be in for a wait during the lunch or dinner rush. Even so, I still have a positive experience, and I don't mind the wait. I do want to give a shout out to my recent waiter and waitress: Danny and Annalise. They went above and beyond by listening to my needs, making accommodations, and ensuring I was taken care of. I thank you both and all the staff that make Hungry's one of my favorite places to dine!

Theresa Pugh

Every morsel was delicious! Fantastic gluten free options (thank you!) and everything made better by $2 mimosas for brunch.

Nora R

A great breakfast restaurant in CityCenter! Extensive menu for food and drinks. Lots of options for sweet, savoury and vegan. Also for hot/cold drinks, espresso and alcoholic beverages. Gluten free options are available too. It’s suggested by a friend and my first visit to this place. I really enjoyed my breakfast. I had the delicious crab and asparagus omelette. I can see myself coming back here for more. Very popular. It was busy at 8.30am. Cosy, clean and friendly atmosphere. There is a bar in the restaurant. Indoor and enclosed outdoor dining available. A big parking lot around the area. Staffs are friendly and attentive. Fully recommended! Business hours: Mon-Fri 6:30am to 2:30pm Sat-Sun 6:30am to 4:00pm

Jerrine Baker

Excellent food and service. I took visitors from out of town and they were very pleased with the food and service. This was my first time also, so I was not certain what to expect. We were all impressed. Troy our waiter was exceptional. He went overboard to meet our needs and food preferences, including gluten free requests. Will return to this restaurant many times.

Shaunna Adler

Delicious as always! Love the taco salad & the gluten free bread is great!

Randy Wall

Excellent menu - wide variety of Tex-Mex AND Mexican food - extensive vegetarian menu, gluten-free menu... great margaritas! Juan, our server, was wonderful. He was attentive but not overbearing. The salsa lady was very kind as well. I did not catch her name. We will definitely be back!

G P

Definitely will be ordering here again! Manager, Josh provided incredible, professional service and was more than accommodating with our order. I appreciate the modifications for health reasons, including having gluten free buns! Looking forward to the dining experience next time and hope to see Josh again!
