Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Bread Lovers Across Iowa

Sredna

Really good service but we didn't really enjoy the food. We ordered off the gluten free menu and pasta didn't taste that great. Ordered the lobster meal but pieces were very small. Substitutions were common because they didn't have what was offered. Overall we felt disappointed in the meals.

Outstanding Experience at Destination Grille! From start to finish, our visit to Destination Grille in Grimes was nothing short of amazing! The atmosphere is inviting and modern, perfect for a night out or a casual dinner. What truly made our experience exceptional was the service—Andrea was incredible! She was warm, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. As someone who is gluten-free, dining out can sometimes be a challenge, but Andrea went above and beyond to ensure I felt completely comfortable and taken care of. The gluten-free menu options here are fantastic—plentiful, clearly marked, and absolutely delicious. It’s refreshing to find a place that offers variety and flavor without compromise. Highly recommend Destination Grille for anyone looking for excellent food and even better service. Ask for Andrea—you’ll be glad you did!

I come here for the gluten-free cakes and treats. Only once did I have an old slice, I won't pick the last one next time. Can't wait to see what's on the counter next time I pop in

Amber MacDowell

Beautiful restaurant, efficient and friendly server. It was fantastic that their gluten-free menu offered a wide variety of options. Excellent Chocolate Martini and the Creme Brule was perfect. We will definitely be back.

I'm gluten free and was thrilled that Club Car had a separate GF menu that included a lot of choices. They even had GF soups!!! Fun atmosphere, great service and great food at reasonable prices. We really enjoyed Club Car and definitely will visit again.

Amy Medford

Delightful place. The food is amazing, the space is cozy, the atmosphere is neighborly. It is a local pub with really cool maps on the wall. They offer delicious vegan (and soy free !) food. It can even be gluten free. Service is great and friendly.

Jon Burk

Endless food and bottomless mimosas/bloody marys/mixed drinks is a hell of a way to start a weekend. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and there were plenty of options for gluten free eaters.

Jennifer Johnson

Absolutely amazing! So clean and inviting and comfortable! Also I have celiac disease and they accommodate my food allergies. I so appreciate it, this location was awesome!

Cortez Jones

Had the BEST experience here. Trying to find a restaurant that offers a gluten free menu as well as regular with no discernible differences in taste is 1 in a million and buzzard Billy’s is exactly that. Any time we ever come back it will be good at BB. Kristen, Kela and shiree are the best servers EVER!

My chicken chiabatta sandwich was a bit dry and the food selection was limited, but they did have substantial gluten free options. The setting and staff were very nice, making it an overall excellent experience.

Hannah Yang

Incredible gluten free meal!!

Brad Wiese

Had Gluten free options.

Stephanie Dowdy

We ate outside on the patio. Oh my the lettuce wraps are so so good! Excellent service and excellent gluten free menu!

I cannot say enough great things about Sweet Treat without Wheat! I had the pleasure of trying their cinnamon sugar donuts, and they were absolutely delicious—soft, flavorful, and perfectly sweet without being too heavy. You’d never guess they’re gluten-free! What made the experience even more special was the incredible generosity of the owner. Despite the bakery being located in Iowa, she went above and beyond to get the donuts to me all the way in Aruba. If you’re looking for amazing gluten-free treats made with love, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to try more of their baked goods!

Ashley Wilbers

Food was great. Best latte of my life. I will say the service was subpar, not super friendly. Completely, gluten free! They also didn’t have straws for their in house drinks which I thought was odd. Would have loved even a metal or glass straw. But overall, a great atmosphere and wonderful product. The banana bread wasn’t too sweet (which is good) and the smoothie bowl was fantastic.

Christeen

Burger shed had a separate Gluten-free menu. We all ordered from that menu as one in our family is Celiac. Food was great, gluten free buns were nice and was not charged extra for gf. It would be nice if they had a dedicated fryer for french fries, though. Celiac kids want fries too.

Shalen & Tiff DeBrower (Tee)

Great place if you have celiac family members!

Haley Downe

This place ROCKS!! Our server Olivia was great and we really enjoyed the coffee, gluten-free pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and omelettes. The only thing holding this place back from a full 5 stars was the portion size of the orange juice. Orange juice was $5.50, and while I understand that it is fresh-squeezed, the portion size was only about 5 total gulps (I’ll do the math for ya - more than 1 dollar per gulp…) which was disappointing. Don’t get it twisted - we LOVE this place and will totally be back again as we have many times before. Just leaving some constructive criticism as we truly want this place to flourish! Thanks again Olivia!

Amanda Duncan

The quality and taste of the Gluten-free options are amazing. The Gluten free buns are soft and not dry and the Gluten Free Mac and cheese had the texture and taste of regular Mac and cheese. I have had Celiacs for 15+years and was overly impressed. Thank you so much.

Paula Bissell

Driving through Iowa, I decided to take a break at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers—and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, Calista’s friendly and welcoming attitude made the experience even better. She provided excellent service, ensuring everything was just right. The Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger was delicious, served on a gluten-free bun that was soft yet held together perfectly. And those sweet potato fries? Crispy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the meal! This location delivers on both great food and outstanding customer service. If you’re in the area and craving a satisfying meal, Red Robin won’t disappoint!

Heather Turnmeyer

Great food, gluten free bun and vegan burger offered.

Sooj S

We go to a lot of different Culvers for their gluten free buns, and this location somehow made it taste the best. The bun was piping hot when it came to us, and it was so soft and moist. It held together until we finished the burgers which wasn't our experience in other locations. It was during the lunch rush but the service was super fast through the drive-thru.

They have gluten free bread. I was able to get a sandwich and it was delicious

John Hernandez

Trudie Derenne

Sofia was so great and really listened to my concerns of having gluten free food due to having celiac disease. She was very kind and service was great

I placed a pickup order at 5:16pm and app said order would be ready at 5:30pm. Arrived at 5:45pm and it took until 5:50pm to get assistance. Teenager at register stated it would take 10 minutes. He then confirmed with cook that 10 minutes was accurate. Cook looked at ticket and said with 2 gluten free sandwiches it would be a while. Grill started to be cleaned at 6:05 pm and order was started at 6:10 pm. Let me point out that while standing there waiting I watched the counter fill up with other pick up orders and people walk in put in their order and receive it while I was there. Someone obviously made a conscious decision not to fill my order in a timely manner because of the gluten free sandwiches. Jasmine attempted to give me a cookie and I refused because of allergies at 6:20pm. At 6:23pm more than an hour after my order was placed I received my order finally. My specific instructions in my order were to write names on the sandwich package and to bag the gluten free separately. Neither instruction was followed. Jasmine gave me 2 coupons for 3 sandwiches and I told her i should receive 3 because our order was due at 5:30pm. She said no and that we could leave and didn't need to return to the store. Not once did she apologize or provide an explanation. I was not happy and yelled going out the door thanks for not saying I'm sorry. I would have been happy with the 2 coupons and an apology. Jasmine lacks the skills to be a manager if she can't apologize to a customer for a decision she probably made. I feel that Jasmine was discriminatory in her actions because of the food allergies and her overall actions. Jersey Mike's as a company has practices in place to accommodate customers with food allergies but this employee seems to have decided to not provide your typical great service becsuse of it.

awesomeness in a grilled cheese. sweet potato fries are bussin. gluten free bread is delish. blueberry lemonade:FIRE. 10/10. cheap. so fun.

We had a horrible experience with this Jersey Mike's location. We went here due to the reputation for being decently celiac-friendly. My husband and one of my four children cannot have gluten. The staff was rude and hesitant to answer any questions. One staff member just blankly stared at us numerous times. The wait for the gluten-free sandwiches was 20 minutes, versus the regular sandwiches which were almost instantaneous. They prepared the gluten-free sandwiches in a special area, as they had told me. However, they also used that area for the online orders, and the staff member rudely told me she had to clean it up before she could prepare our food. My husband's order was completely incorrect. We ended up getting glutened and it made for a rough trip. Avoid.

Gluten free options, and they were delicious!! Not since planet sub have I had such a good gluten free sub. ❣️

Madason Marie Tuggle

Very delicious! They have a lot of Gluten Free options ☺️ Their Fried pickles are my favorite!

Leonard Collins

Ivan Brandt

There steak and cheese is good. There just alittle pricy. $20 for a giant sub and that's not including a drink or chips. Gluten free bread is 3.50 to 4.50 extra depending on size you get. Not enough space inside to really sit down if there busy. You will have people right next to ur table if they are .

This is hands down the best coffee shop in town! Renn's syrups are **phenomenal**! Every coffee concoction she has come up with tastes delicious! And the regular/normal coffee options are spectacular too. The shop itself is the kind of beautiful, restful, lovely space that makes you want to spend hours there. And my favorite part is the food. So good. But since I have recently had to give up gluten I am even more grateful for Renn's and all of the delicious gluten free baked goods she offers. You would never know they were gluten-less! Everything she does is done with excellence and the staff are also very friendly. Also, if you go make sure to check her social media or get on the email list because her menu is constantly changing and you don't want to miss out on the seasonal goodness!

We were very saddened and disheartened to find that this restaurant no longer offers a gluten-free menu or are gluten-free fryer. If you are like us and came here regularly for gluten safe tasty food, they no longer have the menu or gluten-free frier.fries. very disappointed.

They offer a gluten free sub bun and it's delicious!

Lauren

As a celiac coming into town for a few days, it was a little bit stressful to try to find gluten-free options here. However, the staff quickly oriented me to their options, and most of the menu can be made safe for us. The meals I had there were delicious and filling and healthy. Highly recommend.

Kenzie Kelso

Great food, tons of vegan and gluten free options, great service.

Megan O'Connell

Kevin is an amazing server and management was great! I have celiac disease and everyone made sure my food was safe! 10/10 recommend!
