Top 42 Gluten-Free Beer Havens Across Minnesota

We came for the celiac safe menu. It was excellent! We ordered the gluten free fried chicken and waffles, what a treat! It was delicious, perfectly cooked and the bourbon maple syrup with honey butter was amazing. We will certainly be back. Great service as well, wait staff was really kind.

We've been here quite a few times and we're bringing the whole family for this trip. There was concern about gluten as another person posted that they changed their menu. I called and talked to the restaurant, and they stated they have 4 new sandwiches on the menu that contain gluten, but they are prepared away from the other items in their kitchen, and they are very diligent about cross contamination. This is important as we have celiac folks in our party. Everyone loved it, everyone ate every bit of it, and everyone is happy. And the horchatta rice crispy bar is insane.

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.

If I had to eat gluten free this beautiful restaurant would be a dream come true! I don’t have a need to, and due to cost would only go if others were needing gluten-free. Overall great food!

Pamela McCurdy

Always the best food. Very large place with a beautiful patio. It is one of my favorite places to go. Everything is always good. Only took a photo of my item last night which was the shroom burger. Beautiful baguette and tasty cheeses to make it the perfect burger. Friends had a poke bowl, Salad and another burger. My friend needed Gluten Free and they were helpful. At the bar they also have THC drinks 🍹 One of my favorite places to get wings. Also one of my favorite appetizers is the Ahi Tuna Crisp. Servers will help you makes choices if you have not been here. Friendly staff! This is a great option in the North Loop.

Frank and Samantha White

This place is incredible, I wouldn’t even believe it wasn’t 100% gluten free if I didn’t know it already. The eggplant tostada was absolutely incredible! Everything here was perfect.

Chase Kasel

Absolutely wonderful experience overall. They have plenty of options for most, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free (vegan/gluten free) being hard to find. The atmosphere and view of the lake were great as well. Very clean, nice bathrooms, friendly staff, book adoption for small price, and a dietary restriction diverse pastry selection too! We will definitely be coming back.

We just visited on our vacation to the North Shore. We were blown away by this great pizza restaurant! We started with the garlic cheese toast. I believe it had cilantro on top which was delicious. There was a hearty serving of marinara included, and it was only $1 to add another marinara. My daughter ordered the spinach salad - it had a great balance of savory and sweet, and was a good-sized portion. I ordered the Hulapeño pizza. I don't like pineapple on pizza, so I requested it removed, however when it showed up at the table it was included. I was really hungry from a full day of hiking, and didn't want to wait for another pizza to be made. It was so delicious with the pineapple! The real star, though, was the Hot Honey - I couldn't get enough of it! Who thought that would be great with pizza?? Such a delicious combo!! I have a vegetarian son, and we were astounded by all of the vegetarian options available! Vegan bacon, sausage, pepperoni, and more. Also there were vegan cheese available and gluten-free options. I felt that the variety was more than any restaurant in the much larger city we're from! The atmosphere inside was great. Lots of outstanding local art on the walls to enjoy and available for purchase. A really cool avocado table for big groups. And you can watch them toss pizza crust while you're sitting at a table, which is always fun. The area outside was the only place I felt a little unsafe on our travels, and I skirted the kids away after one Pokemon Go battle. This restaurant is definitely on my list when we return to Duluth!

I got sick after eating here, but it may have been from the coffeeshop I went to beforehand (Royal Grounds). Pros: I was very impressed with the menu- lots of GF options and easy to navigate. The pizza was delicious although the crust was average. The watermelon salad was great. Three different GF dessert options but I was too full to try any! Cons: The bruschetta was bad- just a pile of diced tomatoes with some shaved parm, and two bad GF dinner rolls. I asked for some balsamic vinegar to dress it and was told they didn’t have it. A total waste of $12. Lemonade was supposed to have free refills but I never got any. My order ticket gets weirder the more I look at it. First I’m glad that they put in so many allergy alerts. But they say “ALLERGIC TO WHEAT” which is wrong. I told the server “I have a gluten allergy.” So they lost some trust there. And why is every allergy alert on my ticket different? Is the server typing them in manually? If I lived nearby I might try them a second time, but since I would be traveling to Minneapolis I will try a different place next time.

This Pizza Lucé location is very clean, accommodating and has friendly staff. Bathroom and Dining areas all well kept and presentable. A great dining spot for anyone, especially with being able to make pizzas half & half. (My sister and I spilt a pepperoni and elote pizza, My mother got the Gluten Free Greek Pizza!) There are several vegetarian options as well, We tried the Greek salad, it was phenomenal! I highly recommend coming here!

Rowan Forrester

So here's the thing, it's a great spot, and if you dine in, the food is pretty good. They hand-pour cherry Coke on request and take pride in their beer offerings, too. Twin Cities natives LOVE them their local Pizza Luce. BUT - and it's a BIG but (sans Sir Mix-a-Lot) - I got nasty food poisoning from their chicken wings last year, and haven't been able to look at chicken wings since. They also have a problem remembering to add extra cheese on their pizza when you order online. Has happened several times when I've ordered delivery as well as pick-up. Both of these issues are specific to the Roseville location. On the other hand, Katie at the Selby location in St Paul is wonderful if you're lucky enough to be in her service. I was there last week with a VERY diverse group of people - there were about 10 of us - and she was great. She was even juggling a late Friday night when the carbonation ran out at the bar, so no carbonated drinks. They also ran out of their summer special pizza (Taco Supreme), and the kitchen dropped one of our orders. Katie was pleasant, kind, generous, on top of it. She handled her business, as we say in NYC, amidst the chaos. Kudos to you, Katie. I hope you -and your corporate boss - see this review, because you're the reason I will continue to recommend Pizza Luce despite clear ops issues. The vegan meatballs are pretty good, and even have a fire-seared flavor to them that's unexpected in vegan products. I happen to be an omnivore, and also tried the meat meatballs, which are also quite good - though I don't recommend mixing and matching. Generally, the pizzas are super yum, but have a thin, crispy crust, fyi. Also important: they have a pretty good gluten-free selection, including the pizzas. I recommend asking about spiciness if you have sensitivity to burning foods, though. Not everything with "kick" is labeled on the menu. So, after all of that, I still go. I still recommend them. Just know that there may be a learning curve, so I also recommend you go with locals the first few times if you're a traveler or a transplant. Cheers

The Red Cow has delicious fare and great service. I was part of a group of four. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, so all the fried potato dishes (e.g. french fries, sweet potato fries, etc.) can be made gluten-free (and oat-free).

Roving Ginger

I would’ve posted pictures of our food but we devoured it. Delicious food, reasonable prices, great for those of us avoiding gluten but not flavor.

Ban Banabhuidseach

Food is fantastic. Gluten Free options available (French Fries for the WIN). Wait staff is wonderful.

Henry Stern

Had a supreme experience at Brasa. Jacob took excellent care of us, including with my food allergies. Labelled on their paper allergen menu are major allergens, gluten, garlic/onion/nightshades/cilantro, and even GMO-free. With my egg and nut allergy, I had the vegetarian curry bowl (which is vegan, in fact) as well as rice and beans. Delicious! And on a quiet Monday, it only took about ten minutes to get the food. Lovely outdoor patio and quick service are a wonderful combination! And we're still raving about how great host Jacob is. Will be back!

Mona Edmonds

Great food. Good service. Gluten free choices are marked clearly and they had a delightful chocolate torte for dessert! Highly recommend!

Seven Bates

Pretty great pizza options for gluten free, and dairy free. Staff were outstanding.

Dianne Mosior

Very knowledgeable with Celiacs customers. The was great and drinks are excellent b

WMK WM

This is the best gluten free Italian restaurant EVER!!!! NEVER had a bad meal, service or experience here ever!!! All of the servers are amazing as well!!! Huge shout out to Jesse as we've had him a handful of times and he is just a 10+ star server!!!! Kudos to the owners for running such an amazing establishment in every way!!!

Wendy Maybury

Brasa is always amazing. They have wonderful gluten free options

Maria Kannankutty

Great food and service and careful preparation for celiacs. They have a separate gluten free menu. They bring gluten free bread and separate butter to start out with which is a nice touch. And they have the best gluten free spinach dip with crostini and flourless cake! We’ve been here many times and enjoyed it every time.

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.

McKinsey Hurd

Our server was very friendly, just not super attentive. Sat many times waiting for a drink refill. That being said, as a Gluten Free gal, they have MANY options. The tacos were amazing. My friend got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and wasn’t impressed as it tasted more like curry sauce.

Kasia

Very celiac friendly, the food is very fresh and vibrant. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wish it had a bigger seating area so I could bring everyone I know :)

christine noell

Had the gluten-free pizza. I think it's called. The wrangler was excellent. Highly recommend.!!

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!!!

Julie Whelan Capell

Excellent Gluten Free pasta available here. I've been here many times and never had a bad reaction. One of my favorite places in the Twin Cities. I particularly like the seafood pasta w lobster.

Kristen Bongard

I love this place! Love coming here to celebrate life events with family and friends! The service is phenomenal, and the food is amazing! I love that they have their own gluten-free menu and even have gluten-free options as specials!! This is one of my favorite restaurants! There's something for everyone here, and you can't go wrong eating at Chianti Grill! ♡

Mahesh

This is one of the best and most authentic pizza places I have been to. I loved the amount of variety they had for vegetarians and on top of that for vegan and gluten free options. Every single item on the pizza tasted very fresh and melted in the mouth. The server recommended us a local beer and it was amazing as well. Overall a great dining experience after our visit to the nearby Minnehaha Falls. Will surely visit again and wish they had more outlets outside MIneapolis.

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.

Claire Joyce

Tanner and Evan are the best bartenders to exist. Not only are they best friends that bring the best energy, but they are so personable and hard working. Crave is the only restaurant we come to at the MOA. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, because we know we wouldn’t get the service these two bring. Appreciate them and hope they stay at crave for a long time! Besides that, sushi rollers are also very hard working and the fish is so fresh. Love crave forever! (Another side note - great gluten free options!!!! Even their truffle fries can be GF!)

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.

We ordered takeout from Coconut Thai this weekend, and my only disappointment is that I didn't know about this place sooner. Thai food is far and away my favorite, but it can be hard to find places with gluten free options that don't involve removing much of the flavor and/or texture of the original (non-gluten free) dish. Coconut Thai makes most of their dishes gluten-free BY DEFAULT - several more are gf upon request - which is remarkable and deeply appreciated. We got the red curry with chicken, the pad see yew (also with chicken), and the pineapple curry (again with chicken - I know, we need to branch out), and they were all superb. I echo what everyone else has said about it being reminiscent of Supatra, but with the addition of dozens of gluten-free menu options. It's like the Supatra of my dreams! Can't wait to continue working my way down the menu very soon, as I plan to try just about everything.

Maggie Marie

I was here for lunch during the week. The gluten-free pasta was really good and I was impressed with how much meat was in it. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. I didn't realize there was an outdoor patio and plan to check that out next time!

Joann Daughenbaugh

The Cedar Chest is hands down the BEST place in the Crosslake area! We have always had outstanding service and great food here. I am so appreciative of the variety of gluten-free menu choices!! The wait staff and bar tenders are always so cheerful and friendly. Looking forward to warmer weather so we can dine outside on the beautiful deck.

Laura Zats

Had a super knowledgeable server who made sure to take extra time to answer all my questions. She even knew about how the specials were made, and if they could be made GF. Ended up getting spaghetti with Italian sausage and it’s the best noodle I’ve had since my diagnosis! After dinner, make sure to go down to the first floor and check out the market—there’s a new, clearly marked and pretty big gluten free Italian pasta section—they even have gluten free stuffed shells in the freezer!

M H

Great place to go for dinner and a movie! Alamo stocks gluten free buns and pizza crusts, along with a handful of other naturally GF menu items (popcorn, chips and queso, etc)

Cindy Vachon

Excellent labeling and awareness. I’ve never had a bad reaction to anything here. And it’s delicious!
