Top 18 Gluten-Free American Spots to Discover in Waco

Monica Leitzel

My husband and I absolutely loved out visit here. We were in town for the weekend and needed a quick bite to eat. I have several food intolerances and am non celiac gluten sensitivitie, so finding food while out and about can be hard. This place was able to help with that as they are gluten free and very accommodating with any other food issues you may have. I had the smoked chicken box (which was rice, then smoked chicken on top of that and then a layer of slaw. My husband had the brisket box.(rice layer then brisket and pickles on top of that, then a layer of slaw) Both were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The customer service was spot on. The only thing we were sad about it there isn't one in the town where we live. So next time we make our way back up to waco, this place will definitely be on our list of places to eat at.

Had the Gaines brothers hamburger on a gluten free bun. No fries but had a side salad with sweet tea!

I am gluten intolerant, so I asked if they have gluten free tortillas. They don't, but the whole line sprang into action! They served my bowl with fresh utensils to avoid any cross contamination. I appreciate the additional effort to keep me well!

Love this place. My go-to for a gluten free cheese sandwich. I'm terrible at making them, so when I get a craving, I come here. The staff is wonderful and their options are quite perfect in their simplicity!

Amy Adams

If you are looking for great BBQ in casual setting do not miss Terry Black's. I was not expecting its almost fast food style service where you select your sides (single, pint or larger servings), then meat by the pound (sold in 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, or pound servings. We had the brisket, plain sausage and pork ribs. All outstanding. Melt in your mouth brisket. The potato salad and coleslaw slaw are both vegan and gluten free for anyone avoiding those. Great green beans too. I missed that they dont offer collard greens. Corn bread was great too. Highly recommend for a relaxed casual lunch or dinner. The guy by the smoker even offered to take out picture by the sign and next to the smokers and to give us a quick tour of the smokers.

They were able to make the Quesadilla Burger Gluten-Free. They are very careful about allergies. I’m already in love with this place. And I’m about to try their GLUTEN-FREE Blueberry Pie!

Love pulled pork nachos with an extra side of queso. So yummy and a yummy gluten free option

It was all about Ms. Rita Joy. She and I spent a lot of time here with her family and friends and just us. I return to celebrate her life... time after time... it is one of my traditions. Her spirit is attached around town, and I visit where she still resonates. I seek to celebrate such a remarkable friend the rest of my life following what she mentored me to navigate against. She was a true friend who, until she died, loved me and taught me the things, only a mother could teach, which I believe is what I've needed the most in my life. My mother died at 39. For this, I will celebrate the one who taught me how to love myself because I am worth love. She taught me so much, and yes, she knew my Father, George Oscar Houseman Sr. My beloved father. They coriografered many of Waco Civic Theater dance routines here in Waco, Texas, many many many years ago. God bless all the hard work, anyone that knows me... it took. I have a family disease from my mother's side... Celiac Sprue disease. Ms. Rita totally understood. For this, I will always be glad to know someone who loved my daddy and me! So when you see me there, understand these people, I totally understand...me. God bless that Centra Texas has been my home since 7th grade, Robinson, Texas. We landed here after we left the island. For this, I praise the Lord, my Jesus Christ. I am safe and sound to bring in one more year. May 2024 be an eye opener for those who do not believe "Only God is the Victor, never the devil, he lies!" So hold on to what you believe. God is our only salvation! Wake up. It's time to go to Lonehorn Steakhouse, where the Holy Spirit lives among us. Thanks Ms.Rita❣️

First of all, shout out to Brynley for being the most amazing service provider! George’s is that place that a lot of restaurants wish they could be. They have a menu with options that can please even the most finicky of diners. Our group have a vegan, a vegetarian, meat lovers, and gluten free musts. This place was able to make each of us happy. We visited the place a few times during our weekend in Waco. It may sound like a college hangout, but it is much more, it’s a family. Food portions are large, prices are affordable and the drinks are huge. As I am the reviewer, I will say that I had amazing veggie fajitas sizzling with mushrooms and warm tortillas. Fantastic! Give George O’s a try the next time you’re traveling through or staying in Waco. good food and fun times!

This is a good reliable burger! I've mostly had In-N-Out Burger in California and Texas and they are consistently good across all the locations visited. The Fries are fresh and crispy, the Vanilla Shake was excellent! Gluten-free options available!

Crystal Caroline

We had dinner there the other night and it was amazing! I had the salmon with grit’s and our waitress (Anne D) was so knowledgeable regarding food allergies. I have celiac and she knew exactly what I could eat. I do wish they had a separate fryer for fries, etc. the dessert was amazing too. It has a great atmosphere and a great outdoor setting area. So if you have well behaved dogs, this is a great place to bring them. If we are ever back in Waco I will be sure to stop by and have dinner there again.

La Fiesta is a fantastic spot for great food and a welcoming atmosphere! The colorful decor creates a fun and lively setting, and the staff is incredibly helpful and attentive. The menu is well-organized, with clearly marked gluten-free options, making it easy to find something for everyone. I had the fajita chicken salad, which was both very filling and very good. The flavors were fresh, and the portion was generous. The house salsa is also a standout—just the right amount of heat to be satisfying without overwhelming those who prefer milder spice. The large bar adds to the inviting environment, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Overall, La Fiesta delivers on food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Kimberly Webb

GREAT food. Waitress and staff made sure my food was safe after finding out I have a gluten allergy.

Tamera Tergerson

Great server. The food was delicious. The server even helped us modify an appetizer so it was gluten free. She made sure to deliver our food appetizers first, and the meal after that, then dessert after our meal was completed. She kept our beverages filled. It was near closing time (arrived around 9:00),, but we never felt rushed.

Jackson Luckin

We’ve been here 3 times and every time Ryan remembers and gives us 12/10 service and food. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough from the food, to the environment, to the service it’s all amazing. They remember things like my wife being gluten free or our son wanting ketchup with his fries and we’ve only be there 3 times in the past year. If you haven’t checked out Cajun craft you need to!! Everything on the menu is amazing!

Fiama Fernandez Augusto

The brigadeiro is delicious! Love the gluten free options!

Michelle Osborne

They were out of 2 of the three regular crust options, they did have a gluten free crust, but it was flavorless and they were very light on the cheese.
