Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Minnesota

The entire menu with the exception of one or two breakfast items, is GF!

TL;DR - Substantial drop in food quality and service. I can't imagine myself visiting this location again, and you shouldn't imagine yourself going here either. Pizza Luce has always been a place I could rely on for great food and service, but my most recent visit was incredibly disappointing. During my visit I got a Breggfast pizza to eat there, and Gluten Free Bruscetta to go; both were entirely disappointing. Pizza - I got the Breggfast pizza with their Buffa-Luce sauce... well, at least that's what I ordered. What I got was a pizza crust with some ingredients on it, but no sauce. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he told me it was there. I restated that in fact, no, it was not, and showed him the pizza, and he informed me that I was incorrect and it was there, and then just walked away without another word. So apparently as far as this waiter was concerned, I'm blind and have no taste buds. Gluten Free Bruscetta - Oh, I'm sorry, did I say Bruscetta, I meant the cheapest, most terrible gluten free hamburger buns you can find. Pizza Luce's GF Bruscetta used to be, hands down, the best around. I believe they got the bread from a local bakery and perhaps they aren't around any longer, but if you can't find a good alternative, then just don't have any. If I had to guess, they just use Schar hamburger buns, though that feels like an insult to Shar. These were terrible; they tasted like cardboard and were soggy. Pizza Luce was always a safe bet when I was in the area, for both Pizza and gluten free items, but this visit was a joke, and an expensive one at that.

My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

We visited during our vacation and had an incredible experience. Our server, Ellie, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and ensured that my daughter, who has Celiac, had all the items clearly marked as gluten-free. They use separate fryers and cooktops, and even offer gluten-free buns and wings! The food was so delicious that we decided to come back the very next day!

Molly Vielhauer

absolutely love their gluten free pastas!

Ivars Linde

We asked for a gluten-free pasta, and it was cross contaminated. The person that ate it ended up getting sick.

Lisa

Great gluten-free pasta dish.

Melanie Epp

Everyone is always happy with their meals. Good option for vegans, vegetarians, and those avoiding gluten. The Elote is my current favorite pizza

Zoe

Very good! Our server Travis was very helpful and accomodating to one of us having celiacs disease, offering tips and things to watch out for.

Molly Beard

Whoa. Gluten free Italian that tastes incredible? Yep. I'll be back again!

Erin A

I had a great experience here with celiac disease. The server answered my questions confidently and personally walked me through the menu. They confirmed when bringing out the cauliflower appetizer that it had come from the dedicated fryer. I enjoyed a burger and tater tots. Highly recommend!

Tom Hamel

The service is outstanding. Friendly and extremely professional. The food is delicious. Everyone in our party had something different and everyone loved their meal. Two people had gluten allergies but no worries the options are wide for them and the waitress was very good about asking and telling them of options. The only downside was the noise level. Unfortunately that’s typical of many restaurants. If you want authentic Italian food this is the place.

Abigail Vargas

Found about this place in the gluten free places app, we loved the good, the ambiance and the service. Will definitely come back if we are around

Rachel Hicks

Ordered the Luce to go! and my mom always appreciates the gluten-free and vegan cheese option. Always delicious.

Karsen Yack

This place is great! Consistently delivers good service and food. Location and views are also amazing! Highly recommend the main street burger and fries. My favorite fries in the city (ask for a side of ranch). The Caesar is surprisingly good, and all the pizzas have been awesome! The gluten free nuggets are also a great choice. Aster may grab all the attention on St Anthony Main, but I think Hideaway is the real gem.

Aaron Brau

Our waitress was incredibly nice and helpful, the food was all delicious and juicy, exceptionally rare, just like my sirloin. They have great gluten free options. Will go back when am in the area.

Erin A

Had a great experience here with celiac disease, dining out with a friend who also has celiac. The server answered our questions confidently, and we were happy to learn that they have a dedicated fryer. We were told that the bone-in wings are gluten free (along with most of the sauces), and the boneless wings do contain gluten. We opted for burgers, and they were delicious! So were the fries!

Shylo Benz

Best breakfast I’ve EVER had. I got the Scromble of The Day. Tomatoes and Chimichurri *chefs kiss* I’m gluten free and the GF English muffins were great.. I got TWO with my breakfast. My dad got the breakfast burrito and he loved it! Super cool spot to check out in downtown Minneapolis.

Ray H

Great gluten free options

Ngoc “Annie” H

A wonderful first experience for my Sugar and I. We both have a gluten allergy and the fact that they have a separate kitchen for those with Celiac Disease, is just awesome and progressive. The staff, our waitress, and anyone who interacted with us was polite and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS. We ate everything! No leftovers!! 10/10 recommend. We will be coming back!

Evelyn Bakken

Amazing! I can believe today was the first time I heard of this restaurant! The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. I have a dairy allergy (whole restaurant is vegan) and gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate me! (They do note that they can't guarantee no cross contamination, but they do have a separate fryer!). I was SUPER excited to see they have vegan milk shakes! They are AMAZING! So glad to have another great space I trust for my allergies. The atmosphere was super fun and cozy! I really liked that if I wanted to be antisocial that I can order through a QR code (which was VERY informative about gluten allergies!) You also have the option to order with the staff as well! They were always buzzing around so if you need assistance they are there. The food came out insanely fast and it was pretty busy at the time I was there. They are a tip free restaurant, they price their food so that they can pay their staff livable wages (which they dont advertise as much as I think they should!) Definitely worth the price! Can't express how excited I am about this restaurant from the food to their story AND paying their staff well - I love it! Side note: for anyone scared of vegan food or are worried about trying it - this is the place to do it! (My boyfriend wanted me to add - as someone who doesn't have allergies or have any experience with vegan meats - he loved it and said he could hardly tell the difference)

DM B

I’m celiac and finding safe places to eat when I travel is hard. This place was amazing. At first I was skeptical but the young man that was my waiter was knowledgeable and the items are marked on the menu. Food was outstanding! His service was great. He was very kind and attentive.

Natasha Lunin

Excellent gluten free, vegan and vegetarian pizzas. While staying in the South Minneapolis for a few months this place quickly became a favored eatery! Gluten free menu is huge and there are huge vegetarian sections. Try!!!!

Ivy Bolthouse

Love Pizza Lucé! I have had positive experiences with both pickup and delivery from the Seward location. I appreciate their vegan (and gluten free) options and the unique toppings and specialties. I have also done big orders for events and those were just as delicious and quick as ordering one or two pizzas at home. I have to mention that the seasonal butternut squash pizza is amazing!! I think about it all year and wish it was a more permanent menu item. Pizza Lucé is a Minneapolis staple and it’s clear why- their quality of food and quick, helpful service make it a great pizza experience.

Did Gluten Free okay. Server was nice but not having the best day. Asked the hostess if we could have a table instead of a booth. She said yes, then sat us at a booth and took off before we could say something. We had an elderly person with us who struggles getting in and out of a booth. Needed a chair... But we managed. Server dropped silverware that knocked the lemon off my iced tea glass. And people just left it on the floor... Employees were all just stepping over it. I was afraid someone would slip on the lemon so I ended up taking care of it. Not sure we will be back. Food was okay nothing special but the prices are above average.

Pam Cleary

A personal favorite. Menu is always a crowd pleaser in our group. Love the gluten free options. Service is always top notch, feels like it is balanced between attention and privacy. We will keep coming back for great food and great service. The Christmas ambiance is the bomb. So festive.

Dawn Roggenkamp

Excellent gluten free menu options

Becky Czech

This is a great sports bar atmosphere. But, it's kid friendly. Full bar, great gluten-free options and it's very comfortable. The food is fabulous!!!

Reilly Nesbitt

I love how accommodating Red Robin is for celiac folks. Knowing that I have a safe and YUMMY place to eat is so important. Best gluten free burger in Minnesota if you ask me. I get the haystack double, sub a gluten free bun, no onion straws (sometimes I’ll sub raw onions), and roasted garlic aioli instead of the campfire mayo (since it’s sadly not gf). They also have a dedicated gluten free frier you can get the steak fries and the seasoning is also GF. They have the best interactive gluten free/allergen menu and I would SO love if more restaurants would adopt something similar. Just make sure you always tell your server about your allergy! We typically always eat there but this time i placed an order via phone for delivery because I’m usually too nervous to do it online… I was helped by the sweetest, most thorough and understanding employee named Virginia. She made sure that my allergy was understood which felt like a weight off my shoulders. I can’t wait to eat my burger!!

Mason S

Great gluten free bun (although a little messy if you don't mind) with flavor and variety in options. Service is great as well 👍

Laura Zats

Lots of GF options in the pasta and pizza sections (not many in the sandwiches or starters). I was excited to hear that their Alfredo sauce doesn’t use a roux so it was safe to eat! However, it’s frustrating that they make you ask the server what is able to be made GF instead of denoting it on the menu the way they do plant-based options.

Michelle Wolf

A clean convenient location for lunch or dinner with a variety of food options and excellent service. Gluten sensitive and healthier options are available, and we were told they use a dedicated gluten sensitive fryer. We liked the gluten sensitive options so much we forgot to take a picture when we first got them :). Sorry!

Michael Hoffman

Stumbled into speed bingo, really fun. Won a nice prize. We came for the gluten-free options. Appreciate having choices

Lisa Norton

Consistency is very important to me. The food is consistently very good, but a dirty martini can vary quite a bit depending on who makes it. Love the poke bowls and the brussel sprouts are lile candy. Gluten free menu is wonderful. Crave does a fantastic job making allergens easy to find and avoid while giving lots of options.

Zane Zbacnik

One of the best restaurants in Duluth if you don’t want to spend a lot of money but do want good food and have a good time. It gets busy during dinner time like most places and they have music every night so if you aren’t into how loud it gets it’s still worth it to order takeout, which on Saturday you have to do in person. I recommend avoid using a car to get there since parking is very limited in the area when it is busy. They have a lot of different food options so if you need vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free they can accommodate you. Honestly I don’t think they have a single bad item on the menu.

Lee Lou

Delicious food! Separate gluten free area & fryer. Great customer service! We will be back!

Heidi Gordon

“Gluten friendly” at your own risk. Fries are marked that they can be gluten free, but the cheese sauce they come with is beer cheese, so the waitress had to clarify that she’d bring that on the side. And they don’t have a GF frier, so she asked if that would be ok. Maybe I ate too many fries, since it wasn’t clear that they came with the burger too (w/ no other option). The gf burger bun was good (covered in poppy seeds) & held up well. Cocktails were also good and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for.

Scott Miller

Good food & lots of GF options available. My wife is celiac. Very casual atmosphere, not fancy at all. Short wait on a Saturday night.

Kayla Adams

Great service and incredible pizza - and gluten free options!

Pierce Rowley

Came in for a burger and a beer at happy hour. Restaurant was clean, and has a higher caliber (if not fairly common) gastropub aesthetic. First thing I noticed was the abundance of staff, even on a weekday afternoon, which was nice. Multiple hosts, they sat me at a nice private seat away from other tables without me even needing to ask, had a server right away with multiple people checking on me throughout my meal - always a plus. My server was happy to pour me a sample of a cider I’d never tried before without me even needing to ask, which was a nice gesture. Absolutely massive draught list, which is great. As for the burger, I have to say it was fairly mediocre. California Burger, fairly standard burger toppings with the addition of a cilantro mayo and avocado slices. Couldn’t taste the cilantro at all and the lettuce was this cheap, flavorless, shredded romaine that looked like it came fresh off the subway prep line. I ordered it on a gluten-free bun, which was an up-charge, though I honestly would’ve preferred eating the components over a salad instead. The bun appeared to have been briefly grilled, but it was horribly dry, flaky, and crumbly, falling apart all over the table before I was even halfway through eating it. I’ve had plenty of great gluten free buns at burger joints, this wasn’t one of them. Either the supplier or the preparation needs to change. Fries were actually quite good, at least! Interesting cut, I’m not sure what the prep method is. Nice combination of thick steak fry and thin crispy fry textures, with a subtle, but tasty seasoning blend. Overall an okay experience. Perhaps some of the other food is better, but if you have anything poorly conceived or consistently poorly executed on your menu, it doesn’t make me excited to spend money taking a chance on anything more. I’d be most likely to return for nothing more than a side of fries and another pour from your impressive draught list, which is unfortunate, given the size and decent atmosphere of the rest of the establishment.

Emily Hamman

Great spread with lots of options (including gluten free) at Crave! Definitely recommend coming here for a bite after a long day shopping.

Alexandria Pearson

The server was very busy but they were still able to check on me regularly and made sure I got everything I needed! I had a mushroom thin crust pizza with cashew cheese and it was great! You wouldn't have been able to tell it was dairy free if you hadn't known. Would highly recommend if you are dairy free and still want the pizza experience! They also offer gluten free options if you need it!

Bri Johnson

Great food and fair prices! Loved the number of gluten free options. Piano player was such a beautiful touch.

MARTI JONES

Terrible food, worse than mediocre Mexican! Sever was great and helped me with gluten free food. Margarita was good. I do not recommend eating here.

Rebecca

Really awesome place with a lot of gluten free options! It’s hard to find gluten free Chinese food, so I’m really happy my friends and I discovered this place. Everything was amazing, and they even have a dessert option! Definitely recommend.

Don & Kim L

GLUTEN PARADISE! Very good farm to table homemade food, right down to the pickles. Many gluten-free offerings, including sandwiches with the gluten-free bun and gluten-free wraps. They also have a variety of gluten-free pasta items, including Chicken mushroom Macaroni and cheese. They now have a gluten designated fryer for fries, chicken, wings, etc. If you tell them you have celiac, they have a very strict protocol in the kitchen. The restaurant is decorated old farmhouse, fashion with chicken theme. They serve wine, cocktails, and mocktails. Staff were friendly and very knowledgeable of gluten free needs. They can also adjust for gluten-free and dairy free and have a few vegetarian options.

Mary J

I was able to get gluten free scramble and bday cupcake and mother got a bfast croissant. Very good.

Meg Hoehn

Consistently excellent burgers - in my opinion the cheeseburger is the way to go. Awesome pickles. This has become our go-to take out spot. At the time of this review, it is also celiac safe, with a dedicated fryer for fries if you request it.

Lisa Foster

I loved the food at Bernie’s. I also loved that they have a gluten free menu.

Sandy

First, our server Noah was AWESOME, helpful, informative, and fun! Second, our food was beautifully displayed and incredibly DELICIOUS!!! I’m gluten and dairy free, so enjoying a beautiful and delicious meal is sooooooo appreciated! We will definitely be back! This may be our new favorite! (fresh guacamole, and fresh vegetables. GF & DF blackened shrimp tacos)
