Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Boston

Grace Innamorato

Absolutely amazing! The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!

Cristine Trayner

I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on! The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.

Lynn Sweet

GF fryer! Say less.

Natalie Acheson

Very good burgers! Loved that the waiter knew exactly what I was asking about the French fries being gluten free. Fries and tots are safe and fried in a separate frier! Very tasty fries and the gluten free bun was good too!

Vanessa Weeks

Great breakfast items. Fast service and great Gluten Free options.

Kaitlin Kobrenski

All but one item on their menu can be made gluten free. All fryers are dedicated GF. Great meal!

Nicola Sampson

Candlepin is $30/5 pers/hr Pizza are $16-$26+tax, salad is the only other option but there is gluten free dough. They natural and organic ingredients and sodas. Environment is modern and cute. Parking is pretty bad. 2h free until 8pm, then unlimited. There's a gym in the same block and a fancy parking garage.

Keith Dosik

This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.

Matthew Fanning

Two guys working on Sunday afternoon. We walked in to a few folks at the bar and an empty set of tables. Didn’t look promising. We were pleasantly surprised from start to finish. The after show rush filled up the place in 20 minutes and the place got busy! The guys were humping, but did a great job taking care of everyone we saw in the place, despite looking short handed. Food was all good, solid pub fare. North shore roast beef took me back to Ipswich. The number of gluten free options was awesome to see.

My family and I went here the day after Thanksgiving as a special holiday trip since we live over an hour away from Boston and turned out to be the best place we could've chosen! I made a reservation through the OpenTable reservation app and when we arrived at the restaurant they seated us right away. The hostess was amazing as when we first arrived we didn't like where our table was placed, and then when we moved to another it was right next to the kitchen, where the music played very loudly. Not making an enjoyable place to order. Luckily though, the hostess was kind enough to move us a 2nd time to a booth and made sure we were all set and comfortable! I truly have never had that happen in a restaurant before but our hostess was so kind and patient even when it was very busy. She went above and beyond. After getting seated and finding a perfect spot for my family, our server Addison was kind and amazing. She made sure to give us time to decide what to get as it was our first time there and even went out of her way to make my sister and I a drink they did not have on the menu. My sister really wanted a daiquiri but couldn't consume alcohol at the time so Addison let us know she could make something for us based on what they had at the bar and was a lemonade base, which my sister wanted. She came back with a house-made peach lemonade and even added an orange slice garnish to give it the daiquiri feel and was so accommodating and went above and beyond! After some time of ordering our appetizers and entrees, Addison made sure to check in on us and ask if we needed anything even when it was super busy and a full house. Later after finishing our food and all of us requesting a to-go box, Addison made sure to get us the correct size boxes for our leftovers and even gave us a bag and willingly helped us bag up our food in a to-go bag provided by the restaurant. I rarely try new places during the holidays, especially on a Friday night, which is when we went, but this restaurant was an amazing choice and I highly recommend it! The dishes we ordered were super flavorful and probably the best restaurant I've tried in Boston when it comes to a simple American menu. It is such a family-friendly restaurant and very warm and inviting. I would be willing to drive over an hour again just to come back with my family and friends. Another thing I really enjoyed about this restaurant aside from the service and food is their ability to offer both vegetarian AND gluten-free options as one of my sisters is gluten-free while the other is vegetarian. The restaurant has so many options and took my sibling's modifications seriously. My gluten-free sister also reported that her food was very good, which is rare as a lot of restaurants we've tried do not have tasty gluten-free options/dishes. The photos down below show my family's order being; the Korean Sticky Pork Ribs, 2 BPH burgers, 1 Beyond Vegetable Burger, a side of the seasonal sautéed vegetables, and 1 Fish and Chips entree. Overall, if anyone ever wants to try something new with their family, or even go by themselves, I highly recommend this place and their Korean Sticky Pork Ribs and the Fish and Chips!

All I need to say is YUM! The food was on point! Everything came out hot, fresh and delicious. They catered to my son’s Gluten allergy with care. TOM is amazing! He didn’t just give customer service, he gave us a guest experience to make us feel as if we were a guest in their home. He blessed our family with an experience we won’t forget.

Claire Burchill

BOOK HERE! The food is 10/10 as well as the service. Having dinner here was a highlight of our trip to Boston. Sitting at the Chef's Counter was so interesting and I hope to do it again some day. If you are Celiac / Gluten free you will be SO well taken care of! They had a separate menu for me to look at with plenty of options.

Antonio Gutiérrez

Boston restaurant with gluten-free options. Variety of burgers and very friendly waiters. Recommended

Katerina Steele

Coming from Chicago, we've been struggling to find a proper brunch experience in the Boston area (meaning elevated breakfast dishes, with interesting ingredients that are both delicious and well made). The search is over! This place is excellent with great food, a marvelous atmosphere and great service. Plan for reservations, though, as this place is popular! They also did a phenomenal job accommodating gluten free with a lot of care for cross contamination.

Gopal Chopra

Vibrant coffee place with superb fruity caramel dark roast and excellent service Gluten free bagels woohoo!!

molly mclaughlin

very gf friendly and delicious

Mopar Bishi

Stopped in on a Saturday night, expecting it would be packed. It was, but we were still seated very quickly. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff was friendly. Despite several large parties seated near us, our food was also brought out quickly. Since we were going to a show after at the House of Blues, it was an added bonus that they had tablets to check out with on the table. Convenient walk to the House of Blues from Yard House. Normally, eating out without plans to head directly home is a risk for me (gluten sensitivity). Food from Yard House was fresh, had a ton of flavor, and the BBQ chicken Salad gave me no stomach unrest at all. I will likely make this a regular stop when I go to shows.

Timothy Hanlon

Summer was amazing! She helped me with my food choices and reassured that I could eat safely since I am celiac. Summer is giving a great attitude and great positive vibe!!

Invest In Greece

If you are around, it is a place to go. I would say it is more for young generation, could not identify exactly the style 🤷🏻‍♂️ The way they cook and serve, is not exactly as you would get it in its original location - they have their way of cooking. They are Gluten Free friendly, something we were looking for.

Nita J

Perfect place for great american food. It can get awfully loud especially if you aren’t sitting at the bar. Great place to please all types of eaters. Great place to bring your gluten free friends as well.

Brian Schoonover

Some awesome BBQ! Their sauces are made in house. Try them all. Great options for those that are Gluten Free / Intolerant. I had some of the tastiest Pork Belly ever!!

Adrian Mendez

I LOVED THIS PLACE!!! The host team was helpful when I needed to change my reservation time, which saved me some stress. I felt accommodated before even stepping foot into the building. I made a trip to Boston in search of a great scallop dish, and Atlantic Fish did not disappoint. Tim, my server, gave incredible recommendations for options on the menu. He was also extremely attentive and aware when it came to celiac needs. The gluten free bread was exceptional and the dish was worth every penny. I loved that the dish came with two sides so I had the chance to try a few options. The sparkling moscato was refreshing and the crème brûlée was the perfect cherry on top of the meal. Tim helped find some local gluten free spots for the rest of my trip, which was extremely helpful and locked in Atlantic Fish’s spot on my itinerary next time I am in town!

Amy Hugo

Lots of Gluten free options. Delicious food

Libby Doyle

Gluten free tacos & chips. I have celiac and have never been sick

Julie Graham

Amazing place for brunch with a live jazz band.. Food was excellent! Our server Juan Was so energetic and fun! Also helped Accommodate my friend who is gluten-free.. Highly recommended!

Cathy Harrison

Lots to like about this eatery. Loved sitting at table by open window. They are gluten allergy aware and the food was good with the exception of the gluten free bun. They need to explore other vendor options. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Mike P.

Excellent food, great waitress, and huge portions for the price. We got the fried pickles (huge plate for $5), fish and chips and the Reuben. Ordered the Reuben as gluten free and they made it on a gluten free bun with no up charge. We had a bunch of leftovers!

louis digiulian

truffle fries with truffle ketchup - this place is hard for dairy-free folk but vegetarian will have a great time!

Casandra Fox

Victor was an amazing server. I have a gluten allergy and he confirmed everything I requested was actually gluten free. The food was incredible, especially the duck carnitas tamales were amazing. My boyfriend raved about the wings. The tortillas used in the tacos were superb and the passion fruit margarita was fantastic. The restaurant was beautiful, inside and out.

Calder M

Nice atmosphere, staff were super friendly. Best gluten free breakfast burrito I have had maybe ever. Only problem was I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk and they gave me oat milk which made my blood sugar spike very quickly. This is why you tell people if you don’t have an item and don’t sub something els in without notifying them.

Laura Pascazio

A BOSTON GEM! So happy we ate here. I wanted a romantic place for dinner and this place did not disappoint. Everything on the menu sounded amazing so we definitely over-ordered. We got 4 apps and an entree. We ultimately let the server decide our entree and he chose the duck, which was perfectly cooked. Also had MANY gluten free options for my allergy. We got the chocolate soufflé and flourless chocolate cake for dessert because we couldn’t decide between the two. I loved the soufflé and my hubs preferred the chocolate cake. Highly recommend for a romantic dinner or if you want to splurge on a high end meal!

Lisa Dierkhising

The food was great! They have gluten free buns available. Really cool atmosphere, historic!

Tamara Murad

Loved the interiors. Servers were great and welcoming! The food was really good too. A bit salty though. But loved it! They have gluten free burger buns and pizza. Their food is good!

Mimi Chan

Living in the South End all my life, I’ve been blessed with so many unique restaurants nearby. We even have a seafood boil restaurant! Bootleg Special’s seafood boil is amazing and the garlic noodle is a must! The drinks are super fun and the vibe, NOLA speakeasy. Love it. Yesterday was the first time I stopped by for brunch and it has to be Boston’s best brunch spot! It is great for dates, girls outing, friends and family gatherings. Let’s just say it can accommodate any occasion because it’s such a fun and unique experience. I really enjoyed their brunch menu which include soufflé pancakes, bootleg Benedict, and brunch garlic noodles. They also have MANY gluten free options. I’ve also tried their newly launched menu item, the ConeNado and my favorite was the lobster clam chowder! Super fun and delicious! This is a must visit!

Lauren Ziaks

This was a fun loud place. We had a great time. Tons of gluten free options. Well priced for the Seaport. Good vibes. Highly recommend.

Chris Murray

Anyone familiar with Quincy Market will know it is a madhouse. Ned Devine's gives you the chance to get away from the craziness and sit down for a meal. The food is pretty good. I loved the soft pretzel appetizer and the Ned Burger was great. It is a big burger too. The gluten free options are plentiful as the rest of Quincy Market sucks in this regard.

R W

Really impressed with the service and food quality. Small portions, but no upcharge for gluten free pasta.

Becka Simon

The service was absolute trash. My friend with a gluten allergy was given gluten. Food came out at different times, awful service, iffy food. Overpriced.

Julie Chavez

Late night date night at Lucca in the North End. Bar closes at 1am and Kitchen close at 11:45pm every day. One of the BEST lamb chops ever and my husband had the Lobster Fra-Diavolo, he loved it and devoured it. Got a cosmo and a glass of the Prisioner Cabernet Sauvignon. The service was outstanding. Our server Victor was super knowledgeable and conscious of my Gluten Allergy. Amazing experience!!

Alan Grigsby

I have a gluten allergy and my fiancee does not. This is a great compromise because she can get all her sandwich and pasta fixings and I can grab a very tasty Gluten free alternative! Gfree buns and pizza crust. Missing fifth star because it is sometimes hard to find seating.

Marie Fazio

Amazing experience at Bricco. Our server Manuel M. was so accommodating and informative. This place is great for gluten free dining - I had the gluten free gnocchi and it was the best I've had! And I went when it was super busy on Valentine's day, the ultimate test.

NancyV

We recently had our son and daughter in law’s elopement party there. We had the whole second floor and patio for the party. The food(BBQ) was excellent with lots of choices(vegan, gluten free) for everyone. The beer choices were a hit! There was a space for the dessert that we provided. The staff was very polite and efficient. The views of the Boston skyline at sunset really added to the ambiance of the event. I highly recommend DBC for your next casual event.

Two Tickets Away

Sat at the bar, was a pretty slow Monday evening so service was quick. Bartender was very friendly. Ordered a gluten free pizza and some drinks. GF dough is marked, not sure about other GF items(have to ask). Overall it was tasty! Just know that (personally) 1 GF pizza is enough for one person. If it’s more than one person I’d recommend getting one each. Delicious nonetheless! Would go again

Michele Alaniz

Great atmosphere. Great staff. Great food. Knowledgeable about gluten allergy. Highly recommend.

Aly Cat

NO vegan options without significant modifications that leave you with hardly any flavors. Fries are NOT vegan, all fried with fish and chicken. Guacamole can be vegan if you omit half the ingredients which are corn and cheese. Grain bowl can be vegan if you drop the dressing and remove the feta. That’s about it. Nothing is marked on the menu as vegan (but they have markers for gluten free or can be made gluten free). We had the best server who worked extra hard to make sure we found something we could eat, but other than that I would NOT recommend this place for vegans unless you just want to drink (cocktail my friend got looked good).

Garrett Simerson

The local oysters and lobster ravioli were 🔥. Numerous gluten-free options for my wife. And Judy brought it home with excellent service.

Julia Starr

Delicious food and drinks! Special shout out to Estefani for her superb service. My friend had asked about the gluten free options and Estefani immediately asked for more details on whether or not it was an allergy / celiac. She went over the options thoroughly with my friend and clearly communicated to us how the kitchen could modify the menu to accommodate a GF diet. Throughout the night, Estefani was incredibly attentive and kind. Thank you so much for making this the 5 star that it was! Service like yours makes all the difference!

Dear Sonsie, you’ve never let me down but today was a bummer. My mother has a severe celiac allergy, highly highly sensitive to gluten. As in she will end up in the hospital if she has contaminated food. This was explained to the waitress. It was clear the waitress didn’t fully understand because she asked if my mom wanted to sub in wheat toast. She cannot eat bread period. None the less we saw she made a note about the gluten allergy and submitted the food. Her meal came out with toast on the eggs. We grabbed the food runner and told them we said very clearly no toast. He went back to the kitchen and they came out less than two minutes later with the meal minus toast which showed it was clear they just pulled the toast off. This is unacceptable. You could have put her in the hospital. When we sent the food back it then came with a side salad instead of the potatoes because they said those had gluten. So not only did you put toast on her meal but you were going to serve her contaminated potatoes until you were heavily challenged, twice. I don’t blame the waitress. I blame management and hold management accountable. You put her health at risk and what’s worse is the waitress said the manager would comp the meal, they didn’t not, and the manager NEVER came over to acknowledge anything. Issues rot at the top. It rots with management not training staff. Honestly cannot come back after this and I would warn anyone with a celiac/gluten allergy to stay away. This was scary.

Joe Veilleux

Love this place! I had the pulled pork sandwich; my wife had the lamb stew. Both were yummy! They also had a fairly good selection of gluten free options. Highly recommend!
