Top 28 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Waco

Monica Leitzel

My husband and I stopped here as it has gluten-free options. I got the scone combo box, which included a large scone, baby scone, and I added a kolache for extra charge. All of which was gluten-free. So I was super excited about that as I'm NCGS. The mini scone, which I got orange cranberry, was amazing. The large scone was bacon cheddar. That one, I didn't care for too much as it was too thick for my liking. The kolache was small but very tasty. My husband got 2 regular kolaches(not gluten-free) he really liked their flavor, but they were small. It's a mom and pop kind of shop so that was cool. Wouldn't mind if I was back in the area going and trying their gluten free cupcakes or cookies.

Very good food for reasonable prices. The biggest pancakes you've ever seen! Seriously, they're the size of the plate. And they can make them gluten-free. Nice atmosphere & a friendly, competent staff.

I absolutely loved my order of chicken and waffles. My waffle was perfectly cooked. The breading on the chicken tenderloin was perfectly seasoned and not salty. The fresh strawberries were sweet and really added to my enjoyment. I appreciate the organic and gluten-free ingredients. It's definitely a must on my next trip to Waco, TX. Last but not least, the owner was an absolute joy!

Had the Gaines brothers hamburger on a gluten free bun. No fries but had a side salad with sweet tea!

I’m so glad I stopped by here while driving through! My son is dairy and gluten-free and there were several options for him! He loved the sausage (he asked for a second) and the cookie. I had the berry salad and added chicken, bacon, and avocado and I also ate his gluten-free pancake that was SO good. I’m not a big pancake person but I might come back just for the pancakes with their special coconut whipped cream and syrup. Next time I’m driving through I hope I time it right to stop by!

One of my favorite places to eat with celiac. So much flavor in their crepes and bowls.

Tori Rhema

My boyfriend and I were visiting from out of town and decided to stop at this very nice local place! I have dietary restrictions (gluten & dairy free) and Richard and Devon made it all possible by customizing my meal so I was able to enjoy every delicious bite! Truly some of the best service Ive received! Thank you Olive Branch! Will be eating here again

Alice helped me get my food exceptionally!! I am celiac so I have to eat gluten free and she made sure I was accommodated for sure!

Destiney Maxwell

This place is really amazing! The service was top tier! They have gluten free options, I was able to get an Appetizer, Meal, and Dessert. The Whipped Ricotta with Gluten-free chips was very good, the Americano Pizza with Gluten-free crust was even better, and Oh my goodness the Gluten-free Torte was to die for. Highly recommend!

The gluten free pizza was very good!

I love the gluten free pancakes, and the coffee is really good

Abellas Cake Atelier

Absolutely LOVED the care taken to pack my food being gluten free/celiac! Changed their gloves without being asked and handled my food with such care! God the baked potato with brisket and it was so delicious! Thank you for a wonderful meal and service!!!

First of all, shout out to Brynley for being the most amazing service provider! George’s is that place that a lot of restaurants wish they could be. They have a menu with options that can please even the most finicky of diners. Our group have a vegan, a vegetarian, meat lovers, and gluten free musts. This place was able to make each of us happy. We visited the place a few times during our weekend in Waco. It may sound like a college hangout, but it is much more, it’s a family. Food portions are large, prices are affordable and the drinks are huge. As I am the reviewer, I will say that I had amazing veggie fajitas sizzling with mushrooms and warm tortillas. Fantastic! Give George O’s a try the next time you’re traveling through or staying in Waco. good food and fun times!

I had a wonderful visit for breakfast with my family! Their servings are generous, staff very friendly, and menus selection very broad. Some of my family memeber have dietary restrictions and were happy with the gluten free menu options.

Jennifer Taylor

My hubby and I stopped in here today to see what it was like. We were a bit confused on how it worked...grab a menu, then a tray, and then tell them what you want. We had salads, and they were delicious. Pastry looked delicious! Lots of options... gluten free items were marked on the menu which made it super easy for me!

Dan Koziol

If you have any form of dietary restriction do not eat here. They advertise many gluten free options. I asked about the chips and they told me to Google the manufacturer. No information online. I asked about the menu and was told there are many gluten free options. I asked for specifics and was advised they would go get someone. My friends food came out and the staff told me it'd be best if I just not eat here. So I didn't. Neither should you if you need to know what's in your food. Don't advertise options if there are none.

Crystal Caroline

We had dinner there the other night and it was amazing! I had the salmon with grit’s and our waitress (Anne D) was so knowledgeable regarding food allergies. I have celiac and she knew exactly what I could eat. I do wish they had a separate fryer for fries, etc. the dessert was amazing too. It has a great atmosphere and a great outdoor setting area. So if you have well behaved dogs, this is a great place to bring them. If we are ever back in Waco I will be sure to stop by and have dinner there again.

La Fiesta is a fantastic spot for great food and a welcoming atmosphere! The colorful decor creates a fun and lively setting, and the staff is incredibly helpful and attentive. The menu is well-organized, with clearly marked gluten-free options, making it easy to find something for everyone. I had the fajita chicken salad, which was both very filling and very good. The flavors were fresh, and the portion was generous. The house salsa is also a standout—just the right amount of heat to be satisfying without overwhelming those who prefer milder spice. The large bar adds to the inviting environment, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Overall, La Fiesta delivers on food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I love the atmosphere so much and I'm gluten free also vegan so my server was able to be very knowledgeable and ready for any modifiers I needed to my order. I got the Bourbon peach chops and those came with fingerling potatoes. So so sooo amazing 10/10 would recommend that hunk of a dish anywhere. Victoria my server was so sweet she was awesome and will definitely visit the bar next time I go!!

Yummy drinks and food! Great service! Lots of gluten free options because most everything is corn based.

Jodi Fred

As someone who is both gluten and dairy free, what a pleasant surprise!! Being in the south I know that my allergies can be a challenge, but this restaurant had excellent options!! At first glance there doesn’t seem to be much, but the chorizo and shrimp are cooked in oil, not butter and the only thing I was missing out on was the bread. The potatoes were to die for and it was the best food I ate in Waco. Gina, our server, helped us pick The most fabulous wines to match the food we ate and the live music added to the atmosphere. I feel great after the food I ate and we had the best time. If I’m back in Waco, this is the first place im coming! What a gem!

This place has gone down. I travel to Dr here every few months. The gluten free pancakes used to be awesome now doughy and no flavor. Wait is long, they are searching for help.

Fiama Fernandez Augusto

The brigadeiro is delicious! Love the gluten free options!

Reine Lighthart

They were awesome. The server was very patient and friendly about the gluten free menu. They don't have a separate menu but they do have a list of items that are gluten free. The food was awesome. I love going to these smaller homestyle restaurants.
