Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Maine

Erica Marinaro

Definitely a dive bar. Menu was clearly labeled GF. The French fries were great!

Jacqueline Loiseau

Amazing spot! The GF IPA was so good we went to buy some at the liquor store after dinner! My husband and I had the burger and pizza and would never guess they were both GF!

Jacqueline Loiseau

Very knowledgeable staff for allergies. I got the fish tacos and when I asked the waitress about switching the sauce from a dairy one she had an amazing recommendation! The tacos came as a rice bowl for GF and had an allergy notice indicated on my meal. Amazing place!

Domonique

Great service. They have gluten- free lobster rolls! The lobster was okay.

Mike Halcom

If we’re ever this way again will stop. Great gluten free menu. And TASTY. 😋

Courtney Kelm

Food is excellent! Orange Bike gluten free beer is crisp and refreshing. Gabriela’s smile is refreshing and welcoming. She was kind and offered different beer selections. Very accommodating!

The Mt Katahdin was delicious with a good amount of toppings. A family member was ecstatic to get a gluten free pizza crust AND vegan cheese that actually tasted great! It’s really tough to find places that can accommodate wheat & dairy free. The staff were friendly and helpfully packed extra napkins plus hand wipes for eating on the road.

Alysia Ward

I was very excited to have a gluten-free bun for a lobster roll. Another person at the table loved the lobster poutine. Highly recommend!

First time getting food at this establishment. My sister and I are both gluten intolerant so this review really pertains to such consumers. Lots and lots of options- we ordered the Mariner plate for lunch. It was take out so we ate at home. The scallops and shrimps were excellent, the fish was really good. Finding tasty gluten free food can be tough. Our issue was with the French fries. Restaurants that serve gluten free food can sometimes not refresh their oil as often as they would for normal food. That is our guess- the fries had a strong, unusual odour so we both ate only a couple and we both felt unwell afterwards. I would guess that the oil is rancid- everything else was tasty so please folks, switch your oil over for gluten free food more often. Thanks

Molly Wong

Tasty, consistent and reliably gluten free. We made a large, last-minute take out order and it was done perfectly. James at Brunswick location very helpful.

Benjamin Senecal

The Butcher Burger did a great job cooking the burger. The toppings went together well and produced an overall good experience. They offer gluten free buns that are a good size and taste good. The table seating is only outside with all the indoor seating being either at the bar or facing out the window. The inside does smell a bit smoky with all the cooking happening in the building, so you may want to eat outside if that bothers you.

Olivia Overton

Highly recommend for all your taco needs! Incredible atmosphere, tasty food and drinks. There are vegetarian/vegan friendly options as well as allergy-friendly options. The soft and hard taco shells are made with corn and are gluten free! Can't wait to return!

Lisa Comerford

I ordered a gluten free pizza and an order of fries take out. I have a gluten intolerance. When I went in to pick it up I asked if it was gluten free. 1 man said yes, the other said no. They offered to re make it for me. I went back to my car and waited. I went back in to get it and left. The fries were the same ones they cooked the first time and were cold and mushy. The pizza was fine but not worth the money spent or the trouble. I was also the only one in the restaurant at the time. My order for a small gluten free pizza was $26.99 and the ice cold fries $9.99 I also tipped them a couple bucks and there was a support local fee. Totaling $43.95. I contacted them to say something and was offered $5 back. That’s insulting. It’s hard enough eating gluten free with the inconvenience and the prices but then add in that they just didn’t care. I’ll never go back.

Love this place.

Pamela Alderson

Great food and great service. Always attentive to gluten allergy!

Kim L

It was our first time here and we had the best experience! They took the time to explain menu and the specials. They have many gluten free options and took time to explain them and they did not make me feel like a bother. All the employees were friendly and accommodating. We felt valued and welcomed. They definitely went above and beyond! Everything we had was DELICIOUS!! We will be returning!

Kris Hanna

Lovely stop for a hearty breakfast, bring your appetite. The staff are super helpful and friendly. So many delicious choices on the menu. I’m gluten intolerant and they easily answer my questions. It’s always nice as a gf person to have multiple options to choose from. I had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. Heavy on the oils though and to be fair I prefer a red sauce on mine. My husband had the special which was lighter on the oils but a big meal. He loved the fried artichokes. We sat at the bar right away and by the time we left there was a lot of people waiting for tables outside. Coffee was great, fresh & I liked that she asked if we preferred a single or double shot. Over all we’d go again in a heartbeat to this small intimate restaurant

Erica Marinaro

The menu was labeled GF and the waitress was very knowledgeable. Lobster was amazing.

Kim

BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA anywhere!!!!! A MUST! You don't even know you are eating gluten free!

Diane Adams

They have a Gluten free menu, pizza is good and Stromboli. I have celiac and I have never gotten sick from eating there.

Jessica Kimball

Always 5 star food!!!!! We've been multiple times and it still impresses us. Recently had flux style oysters and I was in awe! I didn't realize how much better a plain raw oyster could get! The Asian salad has an amazing dressing with light heat and high quality sprouts and veggies with a perfect combo of the thin rice pasta (can't remember the exact term used for the kind of pasta) Steak frites on the wilted green combined with hand cut fries is SO good. I was pleasantly surprised how tasty the greens were. My partner had their rabbit special with house made pasta and he was in love. The cheese cake is so yummy and I love it is a gluten free option. A recent dessert special was tiramisu and cannoli and my partner said it was the best canoli and tiramisu he's ever had!!! We love the berry spritzers altho not a fan of the taste of a paper straw. Would love to have a plastic option or glass. My only downside to this place is I'm not a fan of their water options. Tap water does not taste good to me and not a fan of the sparkling water option myself. I'd love to see Saratoga water at this place!

Jacie Goodwin

The roasted Brussel sprout salad is excellent! Lots of gluten-free options. Had crab roll on gluten free bun, bun was perfect and the crab portion was generous. Great service. Great views.

A D

Tons of gluten free options, was able to accommodate some things dairy free. Good vibes

John Ramirez

I am gluten free and lactose free. This was the best restaurant I've been to on my trip to Maine. No issues with the food great taste

Tessa Hathaway

I went here with my parents after a day in Augusta and it was worth the excursion! My mom is gluten intolerant, so I was looking for good places for her and this came up. We took a chance and it was fantastic! It was so exciting for my mom to find a place so accessible (and delicious) for her dietary needs. Everything is 10/10. Heading back in a few days!

Ryan Elwell

They have a great selection of meats and seafood with a lot of gluten free options!

Jennifer Hutchins

Gluten-free, like Celiac friendly!!! My husband, who is severely affected by gluten, has gone here a few times without any issues! I went for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised with the food! The burger was delicious. My daughter had the waffle and thought it was very good! We'll definitely be back!

Nata 3a3

Loved the atmosphere and hospitality of the owners. Everything we ate was tasty and flavourful. Mango lassi made me happy. I am very grateful to find safe gluten-free options. The patio is lovely and away from the big street. We could sit and chat peacefully.

Hannah Erickson

Samantha was wonderful, so bubbly and nice! Service was amazing, very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend coming to eat here! Also, great gluten free menu!

Caren Priest

Awful experience!!!! They had many items listed on their website as gluten free... but at the restaurant the printed menu at the restaurant there was a large disclaimer stating it was not safe for celiacs. All "gluten free" labeled items were not gluten free as they were but "could" be customized. Our waiter had no idea what ingredients did or did not have gluten to make the customization. Restaurant leadership/supervisor was very rude when asked the basic questions. Didn't stay.... I've heard from others who do eat here that they have reactions/got sick. False advertising and poor knowledge of the difference between wheat and gluten.

Josh Skowronski

Siam Orchid is a great restaurant! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, the food is incredible, and the service is timely! They have traditional staples while also being able to accommodate and modify for food allergies like vegan and gluten free making it the perfect place for everyone in your party. Yum!

Debbie Di Mambro

Gluten free options! I had steak tips with peppers,onions,mushrooms on top of smashed potato!

Nosy Quilter

It's harder to find Mexican up here if you're from the Midwest. They've become our favorites absolute best gluten free tortillas. Large portions.

Rachel Redding

Darbys was a lovely place to stop and get some good food. The waitress was attentive and pleasant. They have gluten-free choices, which was important to our family. We had the pad-thai, fish and chips, spinach and artichoke dip as well as a turkey bacon sandwich. The food came out quickly and all was good. The Pad Thai had more of a peanut sauce instead of a traditional pad Thai sauce but was still good. The fish and chips were great because the breading was light. The soup could have been a little warmer in temperature but was chunky and thick!

Hill

Great atmosphere, awesome pizza! Even the gluten free crust is really nice!!

Kirsti Huotari

This is a beautiful spot and especially nice for those who are gluten free, as they are gluten aware 😁

Robin K.

Ate here as their menu touts a lot of gluten free items which turned out to be false. My daughter is celiac so GF is not an option. We ordered a reuben sandwich (good) , shepard's pie (very good) , salmon (okay) and drinks (very weak). The mashed potatoes and potato salad was the blandest we ever had anywhere. Would not return.

Shelean Ware

Nice up Scale, clean and cosey attmasfer. Great place for gluten free dinning.

Kate Feeney

I was sadly disappointed with this restaurant. Service was ok, our waitress definitely had too many tables so we couldn’t order anything else but that is to no fault of her. The biggest issue here was the fried food. I ordered a chicken sandwich (gluten free) which I was very excited for since few to no restaurants in the area serve GF fried food. The breading was black, and tasted like straight burnt oil. I tried my best on the sandwich but it left a nasty taste in my mouth and was absolutely not worth it. Please change your frying oil more frequently 😭

Natalie Schulte

This place was good but at about 3 pm they were out of stock of a lot of their menu (almost all the sausage variations, some hot dogs, and some sides). They do have gluten free buns typically but they were out when I went so I just had to have the hot dog without a bun.

Domonique

Wonderful service! The gluten-free pizza was great!

geneva shimmick

The farm to table food, the service, and the vibe here were incredible. There were lots of gluten free options too. I’ll definitely be back!

Judy Ashby

Good food, good service, good fun! And they have gluten-free buns! My favorite app is the seaweed. The actual pickled wrinkles have been out when we go... but I think I'm ok with that.

Vanessa Weeks

Such a great experience! Food was top Notch.. great Gluten Free options. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating! I would highly recommend it!!

Danielle Firle

We’ve been to Batson several times and to several of their locations (Portland, Kennebunkport, Biddeford, Fish Camp at The Claremont). We keep coming back for the decor/ambiance and really want it to be good….but it just isn’t. We love their Christmas camp and vintage hunting decor and vibes. Their interior design is top notch - tough to get a themed decor right and they win for that. Post up for a drink and you’re golden. The food and service however, leave much to be desired. We went today to their seasonal Fish Shacks today with a group of 6 of us total. We have been wanting to go for a couple of years and honestly we were very underwhelmed and disappointed. It was 20 degrees today and the shacks have only a simple and cheap space heater that they seemed to turn on 2 minutes before we entered. The space was quite cold and we all ate in our winter gear. They had 2 (for a room for 6) cheap felt blankets . The space was too small for 6 guests (2 of which for us were 4 year olds so I can’t even imagine 6 adults). They servers can’t even fit in the space when they bring f+b in so any “heat” you might have captured leaves immediately while they hang with the door open. The heater never read about 43 degrees. Food is rough. Even the burger is borderline inedible. Gluten free options are severely lacking. The pickle on my plate literally made me gag. Not sure if it was old or moldy or I don’t know. 😬 Fries and brussels sprouts are good. We were told no less than 6 times we only had 90 minutes to be in the shack at the start of our meal and at check in which didn’t exactly set the relaxing holiday lunch vibe - especially considering most of our 90 minutes were waiting for drinks, service, food, etc. Overall - we have typically dealt with the mediocre food and annoyed service because we like the space but this experience at the fish shacks I think finally pushed us over the edge of not needing to come back. Hopefully their hospitality and food program can improve because they have a lot of potential in their space and fan base.

The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and the waitstaff congenial (though not 100% up on what dishes contain gluten). I ordered the duck with beans with carrots and kale. The duck fell off the bones. The beans were extremely(!) salty. My dessert, a chocolate mousse, had a slightly course and not creamy texture. I had really wanted to like this restaurant...

The Fab Forty

Fantastic little find in Scarborough Maine. Great food, nice selection of local brews, great gluten free options. Set back away from main road, so you may miss it. Outdoor seating, friendly staff. The bathrooms were absolutely gorgeous, and clean. Will definitely stop back again when we are in the area. Prices were average, nothing out of the ordinary.

Rachel Hanson

If you need gluten free this is not the place. It's an afterthought here. Plenty of other options in Old Port to go to...like Ri Ra where you will be safer eating and you have a ton more options than the sad 2 or 3 offerings at this joint

Katie K (Kate K)

Jillian was attentive and friendly. The service was great. The drink menu seemed limited. There's a huge wine list, not much for craft beer drinkers while being located in a craft beer city and there was a "shmedium" cocktail list. Come here for the raw bar. Legit one of the best oyster spots in Portland. The calamari was good, but nothing to go crazy about - it definitely scratches that itch when you're craving a light battered basket of sunshine. The lobster grilled cheese sounded glutenous but was so worth it - absolutely order this. It was LOADED with lobster. The fries that come with it are delicious and I don't go crazy over fries. My fiancee got the salmon BLT and when I asked what he thought about it... He responded, "it was good". 😆 There's a reason why he doesn't do the reviews LOL. Anyways, he did love it though. Would we come again? Yes. Is this a good date night spot? Yes. We'll be back.

Kimberly Stursa

Service was great and so was the atmosphere They offer nice selection of gluten free items They are NOT celiac friendly. We shared the Hamburger with gluten free bun and Haddock Tacos with corn Tortillas. I was sick all night from the food. I would NOT recommend it for people who have celiac disease. Very Expensive
