Top 10 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Olympia

Flora Kerner

Delicious food, fair prices, and friendly staff. A great spot to stop by for a celiac-friendly treat!

This was the first time we went to this restaurant and I can’t tell you how lovely the experience was. The energy was calm and soothing, the music old cafe jazz, you could almost feel like you were in a French bistro hole in the wall except for all the Americana pics covering the walls. It felt like coming home. As a person with celiac there are precious few spaces that aren’t dedicated gluten free that are actually safe for us. This is just such a place. We will be going back regularly. Also, lest I forget, both my husband and myself had the Cascadia burger. I had the one patty because 2 is too much, OMG was this ever juicy - and fries!!! I could order great fries without worry 🥰 It was perfect. Thank you to whoever you are who put this place together. I felt cared for.

The place is small, but very welcoming. Has about 8-10 tables. We we fortunate to be sat down right away. We were there at 11 am, on a Friday. Very clean and staff was friendly and helpful. Better come with a hugh appetite or share. Servings are large. We took 1/2 our meals home. I had the Classic Eggs Benedict with Hash Browns, so delicious. My husband went with an omelet with sausage, tomatoes, spinach, cheese, ham, and mushrooms. He said we it was very good. The hash browns were alright, a little mushy and greasy for our taste. But we will definitely be back with our daughter. She will want the gluten-free pancakes! Next time we will share our meal.

I've had several frustrating experiences at Red Robin that have left me disappointed. Time and again, my orders have been wrong—missing toppings I paid extra for, missing salad dressing, incorrect cheese, and even a gluten bun when I have an allergy. One visit, I opted for curbside pickup, but despite checking in right before my order was due, I waited over 15 minutes with no updates. When I finally went inside, my food was just sitting there, cold. I usually do curbside orders from here due to my service dog and autoimmune disease, there needs to be more regard for the need of these services and accessibility to disabled individuals. When I spoke with the Assistant General Manager about the delay, he mentioned the host was busy, but that's not an excuse for serving cold food. There should have been better coverage to ensure orders were handled promptly. On my latest visit, going inside hoping to avoid these issues, I couldn't help but feel like I was met with attitude from the hostess, which only added to my frustration. I still got the wrong cheese like I have on an occasion before and my chicken was even rubbery this time. I'm tired of feeling like Karen with a phone-call after that has begun to feel routine for this particular location. Overall, I love the food when it’s right, but the repeated mistakes and lack of customer service have made it difficult to enjoy my visits. I hope they can address these issues, as I’d love to return and have a better experience. I really like a few of the employees too so it's hard to leave a negative review.

Such a great place right off the highway. They have many gluten free options. They know what's gf and what's not. Service was prompt and nice. I got the burger with a GF bun and the bun was not dry or did it crumble in my hands. Wish I was closer. You should eat here. Only downside is the paper towels suck in the bathroom.

If you’re looking for a place to grab the most fantastic brunch in town, you’ve found it! The chef puts together a seasonal menu that is definitely outside the box and very fresh! Lots of amazingly delicious gluten free options.

Local small business with a decent variety, lots of vegetarian/vegan options and gluten-free options are noted on the menu. I prefer my sweet potato fries a bit more crispy, and it was a little pricey, but the chimchurri chicken tacos were amazing.

Nice spot for a nice dinner out. I had the shrimp, artichoke appetizer, and the caprese salad. All were super tasty. I ordered the garden party cocktail, and it was light and refreshing. Price was higher, but good quality experience. I paid about $68 before tips, splitting the artichoke appetizer. Patio was nicely shaded. Quiet enough that it was a good place for conversation. Parking would be easy to get. I'd leave the kids at home for this one, save it for a date night. Vegetarian options were good. Gluten free options were available.

First time trying the Pork Carnitas Tacos and I was very happy with my choice! The kitchen was able to make it gluten-free. HUGE portion, so took home lots of left over. The pork was tender and seasoned well. The sause was just the right amount of heat. The Spanish rice was good too. This was a great dish.

Super impressed, gluten free sandwich was very good. Thanks
