Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Wilmington

SB

My husband, two kids, and I dined out for brunch on Easter morning. They had so many yummy gluten free options! I wish they carried GF pure organic maple syrup though as I am allergic to blueberries!

Amazing savory and sweet crepes, and best of all for me, all are available in gluten free. We discovered this restaurant when we visited UNCW with our son, and now that he is a student there, we make sure to visit Our Crepes & More whenever we’re in town. My favorites are the Monte-Cristo savory and the Mont-Blanc sweet, but really, we’ve enjoyed everything we’ve tried.

I have to avoid gluten at all costs and this place provided a great selection of safe options. The food is good and the person taking the order was friendly and knowledgeable about the gluten issue and cross contact. Celiac Review

Monique Lucero

Highly recommend this place, the atmosphere is incredible and the staff is really welcoming. Having celiac disease(gluten allergy) limits me from eating out but this place makes me feel very safe. The food is amazing. shout out to Lora and Matt!!

Theresa Mitchell

A Friend and I ate here while on a mini vacation. The staff are very friendly and attractive to your needs. I had the raspberry stuffed French toast on Gluten Free bread. With a fruit bowl. My friend had the bacon avocado omelet with fried potatoes. The food was amazing! The flavor was spot on. I love food that had a lot of flavor . If you are in the area this restaurant is a must!

Krista Scialabba

There’s nothing better than a grilled cheese sandwich from Cheesesmith ESPECIALLY because they have GF options for those like myself who can’t have gluten. 10/10 all around.

Brandi Green

Amazing burger! Beat gluten free bun ever!

Cindy Bentley

Wonderful, knowledge on gluten free. Had tuna poke bowl. Smaller portions.

CubicRealm

Into healthier food options?! Stop by Panacea. They have a nice selection of healthy tasty dishes. The classic burger plant based with gluten free bun is one of my favorites. The coconut curry soup is amazing.

What a hidden gem this place is! The menu is amazing! The burgers are the best I’ve had! They had many gluten free options which is awesome! The owner really puts a lot of love into this place and it shows! Unfortunately I forgot our lovely waitress's name but she was great!

The Savvy Me - Eco Chic Events

A nice and classy restaurant with delicious vegan and gluten-free food, cocktails and mocktails. A great place to dress up and get a fine dining vibe in a beach town. Every time I am in Wilmington, it is a must for dinner and brunch. Today we had vegan brunch and left us wanting to return: *Waffles Ranchero Masa waffles, spicy chard and yummy chimichurri crema. *Mushroom & Grits Mild Cajun crema over crunchy oyster mushrooms and corn yummyness. *Bloody Mary to perfection. *Espresso Martini good but on the sweet side. **Desserts to die-for: Banana Bread, Carrot Cake and Caramel Cheesecake. All three moist and tasty. Yum! My favorite thing about this place is their focus on locally grown including their very own greenhouse with herbs and greens. 💙💙💙

More like Miss the Point. So my partner has celiac/gluten free, which is why we came here. First off the guy who brought us our water was the best part of our evening, he was really friendly. A bit later our actual waiter came and told us “Everything” on the menu can be made gluten free, multiple times and that the chef was celiac. He then went on to describe the menu to us for quite a while, like 5-10 min a while. Cool so we picked the beet salad to split and chicken wings to start with. Well the chicken wings are not gluten free, so we went with the pickled vegetables instead. And we ordered the Mahi fish, which also has a $5 charge for splitting as noted on the daily printed menu we were informed about. First they gave us “vegetables” instead of bread. It was dry carrots, purple cauliflower, and uncooked fennel, no dipping sauce , yum. Then our salad came out split on two plates, and I’m not kidding it was about 7 pieces of lettuce and one beat (split) between us. And the dressing was a spicy buffalo sauce. It was weird. Then the pickled vegetables came out, well they weren’t pickled, but they definitely had been sitting in some vinegar somewhere, my guess is about 10 min before they came. A bit later the waiter came back and said the Mahi was out and they could substitute scallops, and also substitute the white chocolate mole sauce for butternut squash. At this point we had no idea what we were about to consume. We gladly said no and skipped the main course. The drinks came and were “fine”, nothing bad nor special. The waiter knew something was wrong; so he offered to take the pickled vegetables off the ticket - thanks I guess… it was still $60 too much. We instead went to the corner market and got some Ruffles and Onion dip - it cost about $6 and was better than anything PinPoint had to offer and was actually gluten free, the guys (locals) behind the counter never heard of the PinPoint. It’s a tourist trap, don’t go here.

The breakfast was pretty good. My Husband and I got the grande classic and substituted the toast for a gluten friendly pancake.

Marc Mereyde

Amazingly delicious gluten cupcake experience!

Brett Mansdorf

At bar with buddy - Feb 2024. Mentioned a touch of celiac disease in an effort to have them remove the sauces from the vegetable and fish - unfortunately, came out completely unseasoned (gun shy) - nevertheless - the fish (salmon) was very good, and the asparagus was cooked properly - so all in all - very good and recommended - just ask for them to remove items you don't want but DO NOT tell them you may have an aversion to such items - as they go over the top. Still very recommended - with only reservation towards the mentioned... Had they done as I asked - oil and salt on asparagus and simple dry seasonings on the salmon - it would have been near 5 star. Buddies meal - Saltimbocca - was exceptional... See photos.

Elena Goodrow

This was a lovely place to eat lunch in Wilmington! I’m gluten-free and the staff were so helpful at explaining their kitchen practices, I felt so safe and happy having many options. I had their salsa sampler which was amazing, their salsa is so bright and refreshing. I also had the jerk shrimp tostada with coconut rice, both were stellar! So fresh and flavorful! Highly recommend Savorez to anyone in the area!

Danny Hale

This is the 3rd Blueberry's Grill we have visited and without question on our breakfast or brunch list to visit every trip, whether we are in Wilmington or Myrtle Beach, NC. Fresh baked goods, gluten-free, friendly, and an amazing menu. It's tough to make a menu decision with such a wide variety of options, but that's what makes great restaurants. Bring patience, as others know how good this place is, and there likely will be a small wait - worth the wait! If you're looking to create memories, this is the kind of good food and warm environment that family and friends will remember ❤️

victoria

The absolute best quick breakfast i have picked up in a LONG time. it’s so hard to find filling vegetarian/gluten free food without sitting down somewhere. Love how easy it was to order through their app as well, and how customizable everything was. I ended up going back same day to get another drink, too. The staff are so kind I can’t wait to get breakfast from here again, I’m genuinely obsessed with this sandwich.

Jessica Burkett

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have not had fried oysters or fried okra in 8 years. Not only did they have it gluten-free, but it was AMAZING. Carmalized butternut squash and chèvre on the oyster salad were on point! Great evening on the patio and good service by Emma. (She's a good employee too - took the time to pick up a lemon slice off the rug on the patio) Overall would highly recommend!

Joanna Wilson

Great experience! We had the raw oysters, peel 'n' eat shrimp, and french fries. They were all very good but as a french fry connoisseur I can say that the fries were amazing. They even have a gluten free menu (limited entree options but still worth it imo). Plus the view of the river is great.

Kacie Dubuque

Lots of delicious GF brunch options, and GF bread is available. They were very receptive when I reported it was due to celiac disease and brought my food out separate from the rest of the groups.

Carli Williams Meeks

We had reservations for 9 which was easily accommodated. The space and atmosphere was great. 4 of us ordered the butchers cut (14 oz ribeyes $45) and while they were all cooked correctly, mine wasn’t hot and they were all bland/didn’t seem to be seasoned at all and tough. My husband ordered the burger and they had a gluten free bun which was wonderful for him! The brussel sprouts and chocolate mouse cake was delicious! The server was great and the timing of food was reasonable. One reason we booked this restaurant was because they had parking on site in the parking deck, but it was full so we had to park really far away in another deck and walk which made some of our party late for our reservations so be aware of that if you’re having dinner there and not staying at the hotel.

Cana McKenna

My family and I ate here for Christmas Eve dinner and had a lovely experience! I am celiac, and they were very knowledgeable about cross contamination etc. and they had a gluten free cornbread!! Great food & a fun wine selection, my MIL had their orange wine which paired very nicely with their oysters & seafood apps. We will definitely be back!!

Brenda Smith

Excellent service and menu selection. The gluten free bread was a little on the dry side and it is on the noisy side in the restaurant. Great choice for brunch with yummy cocktails. Highly recommend the green kale and lemon juice.

Sydney Hawthorne

Great menu with wonderful and clearly marked gluten free options. They also were very accommodating with outdoor seating and even had heaters on the patio facing the river front. The service was excellent too!

Dennis Royer

This place is excellent! Small, so you might have to wait. Let me save you some time... get the fried chicken. It is outstanding! Gluten free burger was excellent too (according to my wife) Chicken pot pie looked delicious.

Jen R

Great food. Love that they have gluten-free options 🩷

Casey Kinnunen

Gluten free pizza wasn't great. The shrimp fria diavolo was excellent. Filet mignon was good. Service was good. We sat outside and it worked well for our large group

Megan Strucko

The Spoonfed team catered my wedding, and it was one of the best decisions I made during the planning process! I had several guests with allergies and Susan was a joy to work with to make sure there were accommodations for everyone. Not only that, but the gluten free and vegan options were JUST as delicious as the other options. Hands down, it was the best wedding dinner I’ve ever had, and we received countless compliments the next day from guests who felt the same. The staff was incredible—not only were they professional and attentive, but they also brought so much joy to our day. The morning of the wedding, our wedding party had breakfast at the restaurant, and the staff made us feel so welcomed and celebrated. I’m so grateful we can continue enjoying Spoonfed’s amazing food at their restaurant!

Alanna Dibb

The people who work here are very accommodating for large groups. We had a large work group here and everyone was kind and respectful, even with a group of rowdy children. The food came out pretty quick too. Also, had people in our group with food allergies and they were handled with care. The gluten-free food options were great!

Abbegail Hoye

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Our group found ourselves in the downtown area during lunch, with almost nothing open and me needing gluten free options. We took a short drive over to Castle Street Kitchen because they had gluten free buns and sides. Its was a cute place and service was great. Everyone really liked their food. I had the cheeseburger with a gluten free bun and side of fresh fruit. The fruit contained pineapple, blue berries, and grapes that were fresh and crisp. The burger was made from good, flavorful beef. The gluten free bun wasn’t bad, a bit crumbly but the taste was fine. Be aware the gluten free bun did have sesame seeds on it. I would definitely go back to this restaurant.

I stopped in today for the first time after living in Wilmington for many years. This is truly the best coffee I have had since moving here. I was recently diagnosed celiac and was really happy that they had gluten free bakery items I could eat. I had the Oat Pumpkin Latte and a carrot oat cookie. Both were amazing. I can’t remember the last time I had such good quality coffee in Wilmington. I have my fingers crossed a second location could open towards the middle of town or Monkey Junction!

Stephanie Grandstaff

A dream come true! I came here with my husband for a romantic dinner on the balcony. 5 star atmosphere and food. The waitstaff were very knowledgeable about these true home made Italian dishes. The food was incredible! Autentico! (For gluten free, go for the roast chicken.)

Jose Amundarain

Very good gluten free pizza.

Martin Case

Great, original menu with several gluten free and vegan offerings. The menu also offers a great line up of fresh seafoods and for those who are looking for just good old fashioned beef or chicken they've got you covered!

I came in the morning for a gluten-free biscuit, but they were out. I was a bit disappointed. Everyone else loved their biscuit.

Jen- Loving life

Celiac safe and so delicious!!!! Our wonderful server (Eva) was not only friendly and prompt but she was very knowledgeable about celiac. I felt very confident with our options. The meals was pricey (which we expected) and completely worth it. The bananas foster with gluten free snickerdoodles and brownies is a must.

Anouk Rising

Super nice staff, the gluten free option contained egg whites, which I can’t eat either, so I brought my own bread and they just gave me the avocado toast without the toast and it was DELICIOUS!!! So so good! Their frozen mimosas (Fro-Mo) are a really good too!

Deborah Smith

Just discovered this gem of a place for brunch/lunch…great food and atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very nice to meet Jen today…can’t wait to join them for dinner soon. And to top it off, they have a very nice selection of gluten-free choices!

Victoria Spencer

My sister & I were here today for brkfst & ordered gluten free pancakes but they were not & on top 🔝 f that we were charged for gluten free

Mackenzie Spencer

I'm gluten free and vegetarian and loved the dinner I had a delicious meal here! I had the smoky black bean taco and loved the soft and hard taco combo. My partner had the tequila chicken taco and southern fried steak taco. Flavors were great and we loved the chips and salsa! Chips share a fryer so there is cross contamination but it didn't bother me (not celiac).

RX Chicken and Oysters offers an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The restaurant's interior design is warm and inviting with an artistic flair. The service is exceptional, with a staff that goes above and beyond to ensure guests feel welcomed and cared for. The food menu shines with delicious, creative dishes that utilize fresh, high-quality ingredients. On our recent visit, we began with Lucy Bea's oysters, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. For our main courses, my husband ordered the fried chicken, collard greens, and mac and cheese, while I had the fish and pork tacos. Everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. My husband raved about his chicken and sides, and I loved the tacos' combination of tastes and textures. The sweet potato fries with their dipping sauce were the ideal accompaniment. We were delighted that the staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating regarding my gluten sensitivity. To finish our meal on a sweet note, we shared the ice cream with chocolate covered bacon - an ingenious and tasty dessert. From start to finish, RX Chicken and Oysters impressed us with their outstanding food, stellar service, and inviting ambiance. We can't wait to return soon.

Huge 9 oz fried catfish. Their batter was so good. Try it first without any sauce. It's excellent! Veteran owned, family owned, kid friendly restaurant. Incredible menu and I was thrilled to learn how many gluten free options there are ! The owners are very friendly people. Ask them about how they give back to the community 💕 The music is fantastic ! It's rare that you find a place with excellent fries AND coleslaw but MeMa's did it. Order an extra coleslaw. You will not regret it ! We're glad we made the U-turn to have dinner at MeMa's.

nicholl gleason

I have celiac disease and I have eaten here numerous times at both locations. I never get sick. There’s a ton of food options. And the drinks are made with fresh juices. So GOOD!

TiffanyTabor

Waited for 10 mins before we had to ask to be seated. Not busy and plenty of workers. Waitress didn't ask if we wanted anything after waiting 15 mins for food. Was charged over $18 for 4 gluten free Pancakes and a cup of coffee. Had to get to an appt so didn't question it. Jacksonville is so much better!

Chandra Bemis

GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS! Absolutely delicious. We are here on vacation and we hadn't had Mongolian bbq and well over a decade, mostly because of no availability but also because of my gluten allergies. we stopped in to try our luck and they were more then accommodating. They let me know everything I could eat and what not to and brought out gf soy sauce too. And to top it off the chef thoroughly cleaned the section he cooked my food on and used fresh utensils. So awesome. Also I waited 3 days to post to make sure I didn't have a reaction.

Dylan Orrell

I was there for the first time last night and had such a wonderful experience. The building itself is beautiful, & has such a comforting and unique feel. All of the staff were so kind, eager to answer all questions, and gave great recommendations. We ended up getting an entree each as well as several starters to share and were blown away by literally every single thing. My Mom and I both have celiac and were thrilled to find so many gluten free options on the menu. Could not recommend more!

HAND- TOSSED GLUTEN FREE PIZZA 🍕 Says it all right there ! Amazing 👏 🤩 Great outdoor beer garden and lots of seating throughout .

Abigail Yun

My boyfriend and I placed online orders and picked them up. I ordered the mahi mahi with rice and broccoli. He ordered the parmesan crusted rainbow trout with mashed potatoes, cole slaw, and the steamed mussels. My fish was overcooked which made it less enjoyable to eat. When opening the box of steamed mussels, my boyfriend picked out a piece of plastic in his food. I also asked for my meal to come without bread as I have a gluten allergy that I noted on my order, however it still came with bread. The rainbow trout was ice cold and bland. Either the plastic in the food or the cold fish has severely upset my boyfriend’s stomach. While I am not one to leave reviews, we had an unsatisfactory experience and hope that this can help improve the service for other guests going forward.

Great food and great drinks! Glutenfree and vegan options.
