Top 21 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in South Scottsdale

Malee’s Thai is located in the heart of old town Scottsdale. The food is authentic and prices are reasonable. They can make many dishes vegan or gluten free and the portion sizes are generous. I have a decent bar with many options. I would highly recommend trying it!

YES, gluten free delicious!!! Don't skip the loaded peach lemonade. Just don't forget to ask for gluten free if you need it.

We had a wonderful experience at Olive and Ivy! Chris - our waiter, created a fun, engaging and lovely experience as we sat and spent time together as a family. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and every recommendation he made was spot on! He truly made the afternoon a delight! The food was delicious and fresh as well as allergen friendly. We had the crème brûlée - as a gluten free dessert and it was the most unique crème brûlée I’ve ever had!

Happy to find a spot with a few vegan options for breakfast. We enjoyed the crispy polenta tacos, tempeh breakfast bowl, and a modified avocado toast (subbed sourdough for the egg bread, subbed tempeh for the bacon/egg, and added sliced tomato) A few vegan side options as well, like the crispy polenta, breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit, beans and rice. Not the *most delicious* food we’ve ever had but we were so glad to go somewhere with real vegan options and something for the whole family (including kids, gluten free, and vegans)

Delicious food! Had the salmon pastey and bangers and mash pastey, both were great. And the old fashioned was perfect. Would give a 5 if they offered gluten friendly options.

We love Blanco. Best queso we've had and they have lots of gluten free options. The short ribs in anything is a winner.

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods. After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one. We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.) Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens. She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill. Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.

We love coming here for happy hour and it’s a good spot for gluten free options as well. Good value for food and drinks and a fun spot to stop in while walking through old town.

Went with a group (8 total) of friends who had recommended this place for breakfast and WOWZA! Everyone at the table LOVED the food (and drinks) they ordered and we ALL have different tastes. Very accommodating, staff was amazing. It was soul-crushing that I could not finish everything. Would go back in a heartbeat! Try the ricotta gluten free pancakes…life changing.

Kat Parks

I order from here roughly once a week to two weeks because I love the food. They're also the only place nearby that does a great gluten free pizza. And the Ziggy Fries. Oh my god, the Ziggy Fries. I ask for extra crispy extra garlic and they DELIVER. It was absolutely wasted with garlic yesterday. I consumed it all. Amazing 10/10.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moxie’s restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the sophisticated décor and the expansive, open layout. The space is thoughtfully designed with cozy booths lining the exterior and high-top tables filling the central area, creating an atmosphere that’s both inviting and chic. The menu at Moxie’s is a culinary feast for both the eyes and the palate. Every dish is artfully presented, and the flavors are nothing short of exceptional. I had the opportunity to try two outstanding items: • FARMERS HASH: This hearty dish combines pancetta bacon, jalapeño pork sausage, roasted vegetables, and pickled onions, all topped with perfectly poached eggs, home fries, and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce. The medley of flavors and textures made every bite delightful. • TUNA SUSHI STACK: A visually stunning dish featuring sushi-grade tuna stacked with seasoned rice, avocado, mango, and complemented by a soy ginger glaze and spicy mayo. Served alongside seasoned prawn crackers, it was a refreshing and flavorful treat. The service was equally impressive. Our server was not only attentive and knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly and helpful, enhancing our overall dining experience. The staff’s professionalism and warmth made us feel well-cared-for throughout our meal. Overall, Moxie’s hit it out of the park in all areas. From the elegant ambiance to the exquisite cuisine and excellent service, it’s a restaurant that delivers on all fronts. Additional Information: • Ambiance: Perfect for both casual lunches and special occasions, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. • Location: Conveniently situated in Scottsdale with ample parking options nearby. • Reservations: Recommended during peak hours to ensure a seamless dining experience. • Menu Variety: Offers a diverse selection catering to various tastes, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. If you’re in Scottsdale and looking for a memorable dining experience, Moxie’s is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

Beautiful outdoor area with plenty of seating. wonderful options for gluten free and vegan foods and ample amount of beverages. Pictured is the 4222 Bowl, which was very refreshing.

I was there for the Local First AZ lunch and was happy to see a gluten-free menu. Being gluten-free, I'm usually stuck with salads but I was able to enjoy the turkey club sandwich! I'll be back!

The wings here are so good and we really enjoy the gluten free options that they have. There was also trivia that we played which was fun too.

Ed Mendelson

Great food and service, alot of gluten free choices

Elena Grant

Great meal on Wednesday evening and yummy margaritas! Good service too. I had the salmon served on a bed of chopped Brussels sprouts with bacon. Staff was knowledgeable on handling a gluten allergy as well. No issues and food was delicious. So sad I forgot to take a picture.

Melanie Spence

Super tasty and cute vibe! Fun drinks and tasty food! Got the gluten free crab pasha and it did not disappointment. Staff was informative about allergens.

Sue Davis

The food was fresh & well prepared. My husband had the redfish & I had the trout, both were delicious. Our waiter was very accommodating for my gluten free needs, and his service was delivered with a smile & style. We enjoyed our meal in AZ so much that we already have res at the RF in Austin when we’ll be visiting for a conference.

Chris Pedersen

We had a very early dinner on a Tuesday just after the restaurant opened so seating was not problematic. My wife and I were joined by friends from Cave Creek who also had not previously been to Uncle Sal's. We were not sure about the menu variety since both of our wives have celiac and need a gluten free diet. A wide variety of options was very pleasing to the girls and all of our meals were terrific. By the time we left the place was filling up so I would recommend reservations if you eat at normal hours. We had a very good experience.

KRISTY KNIEPER

This place is so great! Food was spectacular. They have gluten free buns and a separate frier for gf fries. Service was top notch. There was live music and cornhole, so very entertaining. The only drawback is there were birds but they didn’t really bother us. The atmosphere and aesthetic is very superb.
