Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Chicago

Emmy Johnson

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! So many options for people with celiac. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The food was 10/10. We will definitely visit again.

Not the best experience. Our waitress gave us indifferent answers about how the gluten free food is prepared. We ended up having to talk to the manager (which is something I hate asking for). The food ended up being okay and I didn’t have any reaction. It was nice to have gluten free mac and cheese! I think our experience would’ve been much better if we had a more educated waitress

Great tapas restaurant with a marked gluten-free menu. Just check with your server about cross contact issues. I love the brussel sprout salad and the chirizo wrapped dates!

Monica Dempsey

Amazing- modern restaurant and attentive service. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options, and filling portions. The crispy potatoes deserve special mention- my group will be returning to try everything on the menu.

Rachel Mandelker

100% Gluten free and so so good! You can bring home taquitos frozen or they can heat them up for you - loved it!!

Rachael Blanton

A great place to visit if you’re gluten free! Very accommodating!

Maggiano was great! Not only was the food delicious, the service was excellent. I had the chicken saltimbocca. When seated, the waiter asked about if anyone had any food sensitivities and I’m severely gluten intolerant. He then invited the chef to come out to talk to me about my allergies/ sensitivity which was pleasantly surprising. Most chefs never do that. Overall, my boyfriend and I had a great time eating here. I’ll definitely come back again the next time I get to visit Chicago.

What a gem! As a gluten free individual, it has been so many years since I've been able to have a true Chicago style pizza. Visiting Chicago and being able to find a pizza joint that offers a gluten free option (that isn't thin crust) made my year! Just because we are gluten free does not mean we don't want to enjoy the glorious food different destinations have to offer. Thank you Chicago's Pizza! I only wish I lived closer and could visit more often!

Cool date night spot. Options for everyone! I am gluten free (intolerance not allergy) and had no issues. I really loved Madai and I always love me some Chicago RAW. It was really nice to have the greenhouse-like glass roof above us, but I felt like some nice ambient music would have been a good addition. The service is was very polite and speedy.

Jane Wilberding

I LOVE this place. The space is super large, clean and open. The service is great. And the ciders are solid. I like that they are constantly rotating and trying new ones out. But if and when they are too weird for me, they always keep some on the menu permanently (the pedestrian cider is a fav). I have celiac and there are plenty of GF options and staff are always helpful in making sure nothing is cross contaminated.

Lori Buckman

Delicious fresh food, and they totally accommodated my gluten free dietary restrictions. Our server was very knowledgeable about all of the dishes.

Callie Bunker

Great place to take family and friends, breakfast, lunch or dinner all delicious. Have celiac and there are always safe options for eating gluten free. Servers are attentive and knowledgeable

Rose H

Happy to have visited the Chicago location after going to Seattle's earlier this year. What a great spot.. A so happy to realize that most is gluten free! Vegans and non vegans alike should check this place out.

Leon Rishniw

The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked. Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great. Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.

Megan Benjamin

A lot of gluten free options! Quite delicious, though some dishes are a bit small compared to others. The soup is easily 3 portions.

Jessica Nelson

Cute little Cafe. Was looking for a place that had a gluten free menu while visiting. Server was friendly and knowledgeable and reassured me that they had a seperate prep area and cooked gluten free food on a seperate grill. I ordered the steak sandwich and fruit cup. Little pricey for a sandwich that was more veggie than meat. Fruit had a funny taste to it, maybe because it was out of season. Husband ordered regular steak sandwich as well, it was in a pita. He liked it. Daughter ordered chicken club and thought it was very good. They also gave gluten free dessert. I did not indulge in dessert. Overall, not a bad place to eat. If in Chicago again I would definitely stop in. I have Celiac and did not get sick from eating here, so that is a bonus.

Jessica Horn

Gluten sensitivity but server was VERY knowledgeable about ensuring food safety. Music was amazing. Outdoor dining clean and fun. Highly recommended.

Christopher Buckhalter

Great experience, gluten friendly. My daughter has celiac, and they were very accommodating

Dharmy DC

I search for gluten free breakfast places during my stay in Chicago and Meli came up in result walking distance from Hilton hotel Warm friendly dinner with bar seating or table service The gluten free pancakes were delicious and large stack with jug of maple syrup on side. Very chilled place and I would add this to my visit again list

Sue Whitworth

I attended a baby shower held in the private back room of The Range. A delicious gluten free brunch buffet was served. Everything was hot and tasty. Especially loved the turnip omelets. I love trying new dishes. The service was spot on.

Liv G

More than half the menu is gluten free. They use separate fryers and prep space for the gluten free items. Everything is vegan. Soy free options too. Very yummy!!

Jodi Meyer

The pulled pork nachos are gigantic! Definitely share them with friends. The Wrigley salad is like the team- don't underestimate. It's great! Try the Lance pizza. Gluten-free was delightful. Sarah answered all my questions about food sensitivities and helped make sure my experience was top notch. We will be coming back.

Michelle McCrackin

Oysters, steak, they were very sensitive to my gluten allergy

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

Sarah W

The cutest cocktail bar with great GF options for Asian food! The staff are knowledgeable about celiac disease and cross contact. No dedicated fryer. I got the Mongolian beef and the cashew chicken which were both amazing

Neena O

Despite knowing the dish I wanted couldn't be made gluten free, they accommodated my request and were able to make it as gluten free as possible. The blood orange mimosas were amazing and we didn't have to wait long to get refills on our drinks. The manager came around to check on the tables which made it that much more personable.

Jenna Schnell

I received a coupon for a free large pizza. I’m gluten free, and they only make small GF pizzas there like most places, so they made me 2! Very accommodating, I love this place and their burgers too.

Erica Taylor

The food was delicious. And the atmosphere was just what I would want from an upscale pub. The one issue was I had to do my order 3 times. Once with the original waitress, once bc of a gluten sensitivity which I had explained to the waitresses and once to the person serving it bc there was no Cheese on my cheese burger. Otherwise great.

Lauren Kieninger

Veggie staple! I love the new menu changes! I have been eating here for at least 13 years and I am thrilled to have newer options. Love all the gluten free options now too, especially that new cheesecake. So nice to see a little menu revamp while keeping the favs. Well done! - also their delivery travels/holds up a lot better than most, so that's a plus.

Megan Benjamin

We went for brunch during restaurant week. We had the gluten free fried chicken and their cornbread as well! Both were very delicious. The only downside was communicating with the servers. Our server interrupted me in the middle of asking about allergen cross-contamination of the fryers by stating "no" to answer my question. While I'm sure she gets the question a lot, it did leave me worried about if she fully understood my question or if I fully understood her answer. At the end of our meal, I asked if I could get a box for my leftovers, and the busser said yes, taking my plate... so I just assumed she was going to box it for me... which I did think was odd. Then, when we asked her again, she sent other bussers and our server over to our table and acted like she didn't know what we were talking about. They did end up replacing the chicken they threw away, which was appreciated, but they seemed really bothered about it. Not sure if they were understaffed or if it was just simply too loud in there to hear properly. The food was good enough we will probably give it another try! (The ginormous plates make the serving sizes look tiny, but they're not as small as they look)

Ryan hawley

Order through Uber eats and there was a mix up with the order. I called and they worked with me to fix the situation and even threw in another item on the house. Great customer service! Then once we got the food it was also great! We ordered 2 pizzas gluten free due to dietary restrictions and it was excellent! A nice fluffy crust with a crispy bottom. Would definitely recommend.

Glen Batten

The even have gluten free cinnamon buns! Also chocolate brownies and I'm sure maybe other gluten free options. The atmosphere is eclectic and warm also inviting. Love the vibe and great restaurant. We had a nice time

Hi-Fi

Ordered a gluten free pizza with pepperoni and an extra cheese topping. Pizza was dry with very little cheese. Because of the lack of toppings and sauce it was hard and difficult to eat. While the pizza was a 12" the toppings were put on like a 10". Can't recommend.

Bill Gallaher

Always our favorite place but last 2 times soggy gluten free crust - sent back, server very defensive , extremely disappointing-

Erin Fitzgibbons

I adore this place. I'm vegan/vegetarian, and they have a whole, dedicated vegan menu. I'm so excited to try all of the items on it!! 😊 I have a friend with celiacs disease that can eat here because they tag items as GF. The gluten free friend didn't have any reaction to their cooking, so I believe they know what they're doing! We did let them know ahead of time, and the server was able to reassure us and pick some great options. 🥢 Their tiki drinks are also very fun and strong, so the higher price makes more sense to me for the area compared to other restaurants.🍹 I recommend the edemame, kimchi cucumber, sushi burrito, pad Thai, Thai curry, pad kee mao, and nasi goreng

Cory McEachern

Mind blowing Whiskey selection. Smoked brisket was delicious! Good have been a larger portion. Atmosphere is bang on. Several items marked as gluten free on menu 👍 Would go back again.

Emily Schwefel

Came here with the family and had a wonderful time! Adrian was our server, he was so kind and helpful! He was also super knowledgeable about all the gluten free options on the menu and brought out my tacos in a separate dish! Great atmosphere, food, and drinks! Will definitely be back soon!

Eve Runnels (TrainerMaven)

I hosted an event at Pizano's, on Madison recently. They have a really nice event space on the lower level of the restaurant. The event coordinator was very helpful and accommodating. She helped me select the menu and made sure we had gluten free options. We had quite a few attendees who had never tried deep dish pizza before. Everyone loved the pizza, including some thin crust options. In addition to food, we were provided drink options as well. The cost was very reasonable, the service was great, and the space was perfect for our needs. We will definitely consider hosting a future event in their event space. I highly recommend this option for your next large gathering. We had about 30 people with room to spare.

Lior Seidel

GF options clearly marked on the menu.

Heather Dalin

Please go back to the old gluten free crust you used. The new one is AWFUL.

Fatima taha

service is impeccable, everyone is extremely nice, I had the best gluten free pasta here!!

Darian Greenfield

Great find for easy Italian food. Gluten free menu. Decent selection including gluten free pasta. Our server was cheerful and excited to talk with us. Would highly recommend for an easy affordable Italian dinner.

April Samuelson

Elia is beautiful. The food leaves a lot to be desired. It's one of the few places in Wicker Park that lists gluten free options on the menu.

Magdalena Arletta

We stopped by for a bite to eat and were greeted by incredibly friendly staff in a beautifully decorated and inviting atmosphere. While there weren't specific gluten-free options on the menu, they graciously provided a suitable substitution upon request. The food was delicious!

Melaine Foy

On a work trip & was worried ai wouldn't find gluten-free pizza ( that didn't taste like cardboard) but Gino's East delivered amazing GF Pizza, totally forgot it was GF!! Delicious Delicious Delicious...oh & ask for Ruben R's section he was fantastic! Super helpful & made my visit seamless & enjoyable! Would eat here again!

Jennifer HM

A favorite for years. Good for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I usually get the shrimp ceviche and the casado entree, chicken or veggie, both healthy choices. The steak is also good. Menu could have more variety, and maybe more gluten-free options. I don’t eat burritos or sandwiches so can’t comment on those, but I’m sure they’re good. The restaurant setting itself is casual and fairly basic.

Jacob Siegle

Gluten free is really good here

Eliza Campos

I ordered delivery from home so that it would arrive when I got to work downtown. The order came right on time, hot, delicious and with napkins, plastic cutlery and extra chili sauce. I could not have been more delighted. Tom Kha w/shrimp soup and Tom Sum salad were prepared perfectly and all the flavors were in balance! I appreciate how the menu gives allergen information. I’m Gluten Free and was able to clearly see which dishes would be safe for me to eat. Thank you, Star of Siam! I will be a repeat customer for sure!

Sean Mcdermott

Great place for good food and good drinks. The staff is very pleasant and knows about gluten free allergies. They have a separate frier for gluten free meals.
