Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Charlotte

Greg Forrest

What a gem. Breakfast sandwich far exceeded my expectations. And they have gluten free bread that is good. Wine and beer hall with cool patio out front. I'll be back.

Amber Easterling

Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free on a separate surface. They also have a full bar. Perfect for brunch! 3 Charlotte locations! We got the Pineapple upside down pancakes and the Spuds Deluxe!

Melissa Horn

Very cute place, and wonderful food. They have gluten free noodles which made my night!

Erica Russell

It was a great experience and I definitely would love to go back. There were plenty of gluten free options which is definitely a bonus!

Enjoyed a brunch break with my family of 6. I tried the Louisiana Quiche with a side of potatoes. The quiche was good as far as seasoning and flavor but the pastry part of the quiche was overcooked and therefore hard to eat with a fork. The hot chocolate was great! It’s my go-to hot drink. I give it and our service 5/5. Although it’s a 45-minute drive from Kannapolis, I’ll happily make it again; especially since I’m the passenger while my husband drives ;) The menu has so many options, I love trying different things! I don’t mind paying for good quality, feel-good food that’s prepped fresh. I’m always satisfied. If I find something that I don’t prefer, I just order something different next time. So many choices, including gluten-free and vegetarian.

Had a delicious burger and slaw for lunch. They offer gluten free buns. They do not have a dedicated fryer, so no fried foods are safe. Gluten free sushi is marked on the menu or you can crate your own.

Nat Becker

Legion Brewing South Park location has a whole gluten free menu. The southwest salad and bbq sandwich are my favorites for lunch + dinner. They make an amazing monte cristo & always have a lot of local ingredients. We bring all guests who come in town here because of the variety of options and knowledgeable staff.

What a cool spot! The sandwich was perfectly made, loved the flavor and crunch combination and I couldn't tell it was gluten free, best bun I've had in a while! The place is a bit loud but the design is amazing and so unique 😍

Rebecca Noyes

Gluten/Dairy allergies; server was well informed of the allergies and didn't give me that eye roll that those of us with food restrictions know.

Stephanie Simon

Girls weekend fun and everyone working was very accommodating for our rambunctious group! Happy to come back, no matter the size of party Everything I ate was wonderful, pretty sure everyone in the party was happy with their food as well Berry Sangria was yummy Zucchini Fritte was perfect especially the dipping sauce - even picky eaters tried this for the first time and liked it =) I tried the spinach artichoke dip, amazing! Tried it on my Zucchini Fritte ...wow, definitely suggest trying those two together Tried the calamari with marinara, don't forget to squeeze the lemon juice on the calamari....brings up the flavor a notch =) My entree was the Chicken Picatta with Gluten-free Penne pasta in place of the spaghetti it comes with. So much flavor, chicken was tender and could cut with my fork, pasta was cooked perfect- especially for Gluten-free pasta 👍🏼👏🏼 I tried a bite off my friend's Chicken Parmigiano- amazing! They also graciously give a military discount, which I always appreciate. We were also there after closing time and they weren't trying to push us out the door =)

Lucinda McKinney

Fantastic service. Gluten free option. Bruxx club pizza was so good!! Would recommend especially with old options.

Liz F

Lots of gluten free rolls x tamari. Nice high end sushi with an interesting menu. Our server was also wonderful 💌💌

C S

Loved 800 degrees. The Gluten Free (Cauliflower) pizza was AMAZING.... Ms.Lynda was the nicest server and when we come back we will see if she is working 🙂. *Will definitely visit again

Ordered via DoorDash. My order was correct and the food was good. I love they have so many gluten free items.

Josh Kelly

The peoples market display’s an unfortunate amount of negligence for their customers. After clearly outlining a gluten allergy for my girlfriend (she’s celiac) they assured us everything would be good to go. Clearly since i’m writing this review, it was not. They used a normal wrap despite clearly being told not to, as indicated on the receipt. She’s now incredibly sick and we may need to go to the hospital. They also overcharged us nearly $10 for our food, giving the prices on their menu were correct. Never again.

Lilith

Great food. I have celiac, and they have GLUTEN FREE BROWNIES!!! They're so good!

Robin B

The service here was the absolute worst. We ordered chips and queso and it went to the wrong table and when we asked they said it was coming. We literally never got them in spite of asking another time. Then we got a taco with a flour tortilla in spite of telling them it was needed to be gluten free and specifying only corn tortillas. It was sent back and then 10 min later it came back with 2 flour tortillas. My poor daughter had no meal since they couldn’t get it right. I never got my tea drink as well. We’ve never had such slow and poor service. We asked for the manager and she never came over to see us. The waiter apologized and said the food items were taken off the bill to which we said that’s good since they either never came to the table or were inedible. Will never go here again!!!

Erica T

Absolutely delicious. They do a great job noting gluten free options. I’d highly recommend this place. From the coffees and teas to the food, it was great!

Nat Becker

Absolutely love this bar and is one of my absolute favorites. We love their gluten-free nights and have been to every one of them. Recently, I went in for their gf night and had the lavender lemonade, I usually get it with Tito’s but since it’s no longer on their menu with the listed ingredients, I didn’t even think of it. I had one sip of their sneaky Pete house vodka, and realized immediately and asked if they could remake it with Tito’s, which they were incredibly accommodating about. It was entirely my fault as I know my allergy and how sensitive I am, even after alcohol is distilled. Moral of the story, I did get badly glutened, should you have celiac disease, avoid their house liquor and stick to what you know! Not knocking them at all, they rock and their GF nights are awesome. I just wanted to put out a psa for those who do often attend their gluten freedom nights to avoid getting glutened! Please keep in mind, I have never gotten sick from their pizza and cheesy bread for their gluten free nights, this was solely alcohol based!

Amber Easterling

Great gluten free options for lunch or dinner with a view of the Whitewater Center!

Faith Schau

Delicious pizza! My mom even loved her gluten free pasta!

Cassia Testa Gallas

Some good gluten free options, everything my party had was delicious and the service was great!

Michael Cassady

Great food with a reasonable price. Thank you for having solid Gluten-free options. The meatball appetizer is awesome.

Jake Vernon

Always a good experience. GF notation on menu, gf bun offered with burger that comes out separate with the other food. They minimize cross contamination as much as possible. Fries are noted gf…I have never had an issue eating them. Been told they have dedicated frier but they do offer fried chicken so not 100%.

Shayna Grogan

Service was 100% (Kaitlyn C.!) Drinks were on point as well. Hot fresh food. Vegan and gluten free options. Server asked us while we ordered drinks if we had any allergies or dietary restrictions. Our first time and surely not our last!

Michelle Pierce

This was not my first time eating here. And I can honestly say that the experience is consistent every... single...time. We arrived early on a Friday evening and were promptly seated. In fact, it took way longer for us to find parking than it did to get a table. Our waitress was patient and attentive throughout our visit. She was also knowledgeable about the menu as well as dietary restrictions (gluten-free). We took her suggestion about mixing and matching to try different tacos. Our food came out very quickly. All of our orders were prepared exactly as requested. The portions are generous and the food was flavorful. Just a few warnings: the complimentary salsa is a bit on the spicy side. The Honey Wasabi Sauce on the Tavarua tacos was a little heavy but I survived. If I had to take off for anything, it would be the ambiance. It's pretty dark which made it difficult to take good photos. And it was also very loud. Pro-tip: Sign up for their rewards program to earn points for visits. There is also a restaurant app.

I have always had a good experience here, but my recent visit was exceptional! We typically have sushi but decided on hibachi. Being gluten free my food was cooked in the kitchen and made with GF soy sauce. Later upon learning I had a shellfish allergy the server made beeline for the kitchen to insure there was no cross contamination. Which was my fault I should have led with that. The server also warned me each item that contained wheat. Those being the ginger dressing (substituted for ranch) and the miso soup had a bit of soy sauce. Everyone in my party had a great time, but we were all so impressed by the car and attention to detail from the staff. Wish I had caught there names but fantastic experience overall. 10/10 would recommend!

Doris Rossano

After a wonderful lunch at Ilios Noche, I must rave about the delicious and varied menu. We had the most courteous and professional server, Trip. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. I have never had a better meal, great atmosphere and awesome service. Please do yourself a favor and have a meal at Ilios, especially if you are gluten-free. They have a fantastic choice of Mediterranean fare. This has made our Sunday afternoon a very pleasant experience.

Xiomara Rojas-Nanji

Yummy Cuban fusion brunch. The best natural juices. Lots of vegetarian options and gluten-free variations. Ask for Kelly as your server, she's friendly and on-point.

Jasmine Vializ

I’ve been here before for drinks, but hadn’t really eaten much besides picking up someone’s french fries or something. So I was delighted when my colleagues decided to host an intimate business dinner here. We sat out back in the open space underneath the magnificent tree. I absolutely love the decor, both inside and outside and I love the use of the spaces. It just feels very open and airy. It’s such a great place for gatherings and celebrations of any kind. I could also see it being quite romantic for a date night underneath the twinkly lights. Everyone in my group has a typical diet. I was the only one with dietary restrictions. I am plant-based (vegan) and gluten light. I’m grateful that they were thoughtful to put a couple of very user-friendly items on their menu, as well as a full on vegan mac & cheese. Our group ordered a good number of small plates to share that we really didn’t end up eating any entrées. We had two different shaken fry bags, the Togashi and the garlic herb Parmesan. Both were delicious. We also enjoyed the golden beets so much that we got two of those as well as two marinated shrimp cause they wanted to drink the butter. We also got a couple of variations of the good salad, one with shrimp and one without shrimp or cheese. A couple orders of wings. We had no complaints about anything!! The food was absolutely delicious and my colleagues who were visiting from out of town were so grateful to have spent their evening at such a delicious and delightful restaurant.

Lauren Welch

amazing food and great atmosphere! our waiter was unfortunately rude and said he would accept our coupon but didn’t apply it after we asked twice. loved the gluten free options!

Abi Venkat

Food was excellent! As someone with a gluten allergy items were clearly labeled on menu and substitutions could be easily made to accommodate! There was a little bit of a wait, but the food was well worth it!

Anthony Monioudis

Nice restaurant inside the downtown Marriott. For those who need to eat gluten-free, quite a few options and the server we had was very knowledgeable. Open air concept next to a rather large bar. Food is sourced directly from local farms. Foid portions and quality very good and extremely convenient if going to an event at the Spectrum Center. Our server ended up being monopolized by another patron -- lots of chatter about personal history -- to the point that there was an extreme drop off in service to our table - drinks went dry, dirty dishes not removed,a very long wait to get our check. We would go back, but hope the service is better.

One of my favorite spots to visit when I'm in Charlotte! Always great service, yummy food, and legit Irish coffee. Friends and I enjoy sitting in the alcove and people watching. One of my friends is Celiac and they've always handled her restrictions with care. Hope to visit again soon!

Gabrielle Marie

My gluten free pizza was delicious! Ii ordered it to go but I would love to come back to dine in, the inside looked so amazing!

Darryl Kieffer

Great place. Good beer and love the gluten reduced options.

Riley Mosson

The food was as expected from a tapas restaurant, nothing to rave about. The service was odd. We had a reservation and were seated at the top of the restaurant. When the server had approached us, she was very quiet and seemed disinterested like we were inconveniencing her. It was my first time at this restaurant and I asked for her to let me know which menu items were gluten free in which she took the menu to write what was available. She was very throughout with writing what was available. We then had another server approach us saying she was going to be taking over our table, while the other server was waiting tables there. The vibe from the servers was that we were inconveniencing them and they lacked the hospitality I would expect from a restaurant in uptown. I’m always very kind to servers so it threw me for a loop receiving this kind of poor service from a restaurant I was excited to check out. I’m thinking the servers at the top of the restaurant make less in tips based on how they seat people possibly based on their appearance and how nicely they’re dressed. Despite some of the food being good, the overall experience left a sour taste in my mouth.

Stephanie Fisher

Brixx offers a gluten and dairy free wood fired pizza. Excellent for celiac and those not eating dairy. The pizza crust is crispy and the pizza was flavorful with herbs. Highly recommended

Laura Brown

Fabulous meal. Accommodated gluten free easily. Great service. Very pretty restaurant.

nicole nadel

Awful gluten free corn tortilla. Was cold and crumbley. Terrible salsa, so much garlic, the garlic taste persists in the mouth forever. Just awful. Breakfast burrito was mediocre

Ellen Sheppard

Wonderful Italian fare, but representative of all parts of Italy, not just pasta! Fish and shellfish specials are creative and week done. Calamari app was delicious and Gluten free pasta took a little longer to prepare but was good. One member of our party found a foreign object in his pasta, which was obviously concerning! Waitess offered to prepare a replacement entree, which we declined, since most of the meal had been consumed already. She then removed it from the bill. Black pasta with shellfish was especially good, as was the butterflied fresh fish. Desserts were memorable. The creme brulee was the best I've ever tasted (and I've tasted many!) and I'll return to Fiamma if only to have that delicately flavored panna Cotta once more! Service was extremely good. They use a genuine team approach and the coordination is like a piece of performance art. Even the reservations people were great... They helped us pull off a complicated birthday surprise. The only disappointment was that no one seems to read the "special requests" section of the "contact us" portion of the website. After two attempts to get info to the restaurant via that method, then leaving a phone message, the manager called and asked me to email him directly with my request. Make reservations. On both of my recent weeknight visits there's been an out-the-door line of people waiting for a table.

Marisa Bouchard

Delicious pizza and gluten free options

Robert Agness

It was once difficult to find decent gluten free pizza but with Hawthorne's near by its never too far. Their crust is thin and crunch on the edges but their ingredients and toppings are great. You have to get the balsamic glaze on the basil mozz pie.

Chasity Bolick

I only have good things to say about this place. They were absolutely phenomenal! My last visit to this place was absolutely horrible, but the new management here at this location is absolutely fantastic! The manager Chris that was working last night Is by far the best manager I've ever interacted with out of any restaurant, not just Red Robin!! I highly recommend this location of Red Robin to everyone! My server last night was perfect. Very caring, very attentive and extremely helpful! They have the absolute best turkey burger and gluten-free buns out of any restaurant I've ever been to!

Carlos Guerrero

Welcoming and accommodating staff. They have a separate gluten free/celiac fryer and take great care with cross contamination. Vast beer selection.

Alexander Mowery

Madison Kearney

Such a pleasant experience for my first time trying Indian food! I have a gluten and dairy allergy and expressed this to our waiter and he was so knowledgeable and friendly in helping me work around my restrictions. Great service, great atmosphere, and absolutely amazing food!

Clay Hall

Incredibly wonderful atmosphere, food, and drinks. The menu is full of amazing food with a good range of stuff. The goat cheese jalapenos are heaven and I never get tired of them. Good amount of options for vegetarian and gluten free. Very accommodating with any food sensitivities. Great cocktails and huge array of tequila/mezcal. The Happy Hour is one of the best and the nachos are massive. Wonderful GM and great staff. Highly recommend for anyone thinking about checking them out

Kevin Wanamaker

Outstanding food, great atmosphere, and very friendly service. If you need gluten free options they are very accommodating. There is not a separate GF menu and items aren't marked as GF, but they offer GF buns and most items aside from the fried foods can be made gluten free. I highly recommend this place for a great meal.
