Top 50 Gluten-Free Burger Joints Across California

Dominique Martin

I cannot praise them enough!! It is such a relief to know that everything is gluten free but also soooooo delicious!! I love the music and ambiance as well. It is always an amazing meal, even before my gluten issues I would have come here all of the time if I knew. Also... The donut holes will change your life, and the coffee is out of this world! Just try it already lol

I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.

A fully gluten free kitchen with a variety of options for dairy, vegan and Paleo diets. The line is long and moves very slowly (especially on weekends).

Awesome place to eat first time here in San Francisco, and being a gluten free celiac, they did the best gluten free double burger with lettuce buns I have ever had. Their fryer is also GF and the potatoes are cut on site.

This restaurant is amazing. We went later in the evening and had dinner. It’s such a cool vibe and the food was amazing. I’m celiac and I let the waiter know. He went over the whole menu and all but 2 items on the dinner menu are gluten free or can be made gluten free. He made notes on everything for my allergy. I would highly recommend you give them a try. The only slight downside is the portion sizes are a little on the smaller side so an appetizer is the way to go.

Great gluten free dairy free options! I’ve ordered in and done delivery via their website (which is cheaper than delivery apps by the way) - super high quality food, could not recommend enough :) a new local favorite

This place is amazing such a treat to have so many options. I had the chicken sandwich is was crispy and the brioche bun was incredible. The absolute best gluten free food I’ve ever had.

Tori Liezen

Great experience all around! Husband has celiac disease so having a dedicated gluten free facility is A DREAM! Biscuits were the highlight. Also had the cinnamon roll and breakfast crepe which were also great! Beautiful and serene atmosphere on the patio. Will be back.

Evolution is a true gem for anyone seeking exceptional plant-based cuisine. As someone who values both vegan and gluten-free options, I was glad to discover this restaurant that offers both. The kitchen clearly takes pride in making everything fresh from scratch, and you can absolutely taste the difference in every bite. While the interior seating is limited, the atmosphere actually adds to the charm of the dining experience. The staff are knowledgeable about the ingredients and care about ensuring every guest has a great meal. Don’t skip dessert! Their gluten-free vegan desserts are absolutely divine and prove that dietary restrictions don’t mean sacrificing your indulgences. Evolution has mastered the art of creating delicious, wholesome food that happens to be vegan. Highly recommend for vegans, those with gluten sensitivities, and really anyone who appreciates freshly prepared food. I plan to be returning soon!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Enjoy eating more plant based foods.

When you have celiac or gluten-free problems, you need bakeries to be extremely clean so there is no cross contamination. This bakery is designed for celiac and gluten-free problems. The bakery products are exceptional! If we gave you a cupcake and did not tell you the baked good was gluten-free, you would have no idea they were. That’s how delicious everything is. Thank you♥️

Tammy Marq.

Fantastic gluten free chicken sandwich and a dairy free chocolate shake! Heaven 😊

Sam Richardson

Great experience. Best tomato soup I’ve ever had. Turkey burger is delicious, and I’m not normally a turkey burger fan. Pearson provided great service. Many healthy options on the menu - gluten free, vegan/vegetarian. Pizzas are tasty and salads are creative. Recommend.

Robin K.

Gluten free items on menu. Staff great. Service on the slow side. Staff very good regarding Celiac diet for gluten free items. Presentation nice. Prices are decent. Food was good but ordinary. Casual decor. We enjoyed it. Would go back.

Taryn Solis

The food here was amazing! From the fruit water they spend hours making to the in house gluten free bread (you'd never know) and the in house made fermented mock meats this was such a good meal. We had the fish balls and two classic banh mi sandwiches.

Gary Standke

Went for dinner here after a show at the Honda Center. Lots of seating at 6pm on a Saturday night. Lots of gluten free options. Had the shrimp tacos which were 3 hughe tacos packed with shrimp. Fantastic flavor and all gluten free. Free parking.

G Unit

Great spot. -Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING here at Vibe is clean. No meat on premises, but everything is very fresh, organic and gluten free. -Had several meals here while traveling for work, and all have been excellent. -Entire shop meticulously cleaned and well taken care of. -reverse osmosis water fill station in back with cups -Staff very friendly and helpful. 10/10, will gladly go back and go out of the way to do so.

Wow! Great time with the grandkids! Service was great! Very patient with teens! Excellent Gluten-Free options. Couldn’t eat the fries but they gave a yummy side salad as a substitute. Parking is difficult because it’s on Pier 39… but worth the trip. It’s Hard Rock… will definitely go again!

Sarah Wright

This is a really solid happy hour spot in the neighborhood! If you’re looking to stay gluten-free or are hanging with somebody who is GF, I’d recommend Bivouac. The space is really cool; feels like a camping lodge! Lots of warm wood, climbing ropes, etc. The meatballs and polenta bites were flavorful, delicious, reasonably priced and portioned, & had strong sauce/dip-pairings. Service was okay. Not super attentive, and the flight took over 10 minutes to come out, which was weird, since the place wasn’t that busy. They ignored us a bit once some influencers showed up, meh. Watch out for the pricing on the cider flights! (Meaning, there IS no listed price… think it was like $18 each? For 3 tasters.) The hummus/crudites appetizer is underwhelming, as the veggies could be cut less coarsely, and the hummus was disarmingly minty (and not enough for all the dipping objects).

Linn’s is in beautiful and quaint Cambria, not far from the Hearst Castle. We enjoyed fast and plentiful lunch here. My husband had the fish and chips. It came with a red cabbage and apple slaw that he raved about. I had a Rueben on a gluten free bun with fries—the meat was tender and generously sized. The fries were wide cut, hot, and nicely seasoned. The initial cup of coffee was not fresh, and the server happily made a fresh pot which was rich and tasty. We learned about olallieberries, which is apparently grown locally and up the northwestern coast. Always so much to learn in this beautiful world, and we thank Linn’s for sharing their slice of paradise!

Bhumika

We stopped by this place on a whim on our way back from Lake Tahoe. What a gem of a place! Great service, lovely decor and incredibly delicious gluten free food. I had the peanut curry roast kabocha squash and my husband had the loco moco - both amazing dishes. Recommend everyone to try out this place if you’re in the area.

Meredith W

Waffles! OMG! They also have a huckleberry hotcake. The risk of cross contamination is low because all of the hotcakes and waffles ONLY come GF!

Trevor Long

So good and for gluten free - just ask for protein style

Kaydee Byers

The food was amazing! As a party with people needing both gluten free and vegan options, there were so many options for everyone to choose from! The staff were kind and welcoming and the fresh flowers were a fun touch.

Gina Williams

The service was excellent!!

FABIOLA SAJA

Small but characteristic atmosphere, a little slow due to the fact that there is always a lot of people, very good hamburger even gluten-free

Natalie Erickson

I googled gluten-free pastries around me and found that this café had gluten-free/vegan cookies, etc. The girl at the register wasn’t very excited to help me. I have never been there before. I felt rushed to order so I got a couple of items, two cookies, and a scone. Everything I ordered is completely stale and inedible. For being an upscale kind of café I’m deeply disappointed in the value.

Jen Yamtich

Delicious food and a huge menu of Celiac-safe gluten free options.

Kyle Weber

Great place for people who are gluten free, top notch service and atmosphere as well.

Nancy Howze

Delicious food!! They have a dedicated French fry fryer so no cross contamination worries!!! I had a big juicy lettuce wrapped burger, fries, and ranch! I felt great the rest of the day. Safe delicious spot to eat!! 10 out of 10

Hope Nastri

An amazing place to grab a burger, or anything else, if you're gluten free or Celiac. The sweet potato fries are fantastic and the zucchini is even better

Chef Robert Olivares

My wife and I have been wanting to try the Wild Carvery for a while. Upon arrival the place looks nice, it looks neat and without clutter, very modern. My wife and I walked up to the register and the gentleman behind it showed us the menu on the counter as well. We talked for a few minutes while we ordered. There was a pride in the food that they served there that was evident as we chatted. My wife ordered the Mediterranean Chicken salad and I ordered the Steak. The plates were beautiful when they arrived at the table. The chicken on my wife's salad was perfectly cooked and seasoned. For the most part I don’t order chicken when I go out but this I would order. My steak was also perfectly cooked and seasoned. The ingredients were all fresh and each fork full was delicious. Some friends of ours joined us and I sampled their fresh chips, perfectly fried and crisp. From what I saw from across the table their gluten free wrap was huge!!! Even though it was counter service they made it a point to check on us. I highly recommend trying this place and we will be back happily.

Rebecca Griggs

Ok, so this was hands down the BEST gluten free bun AND burger combo I have ever had. I'm visiting from FL and staying nearby. When I found hopdaddy I was so excited, they offer all of their burgers on gluten free buns. I ordered the Magic Shroom burger on a gluten free bun. It also has goat cheese which I prefer over regular dairy products. So good!!! I also loved the sweet potato fries, salted perfectly.

lizzy hamilton

Atticus was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had and I’ve been in the industry nearly 20 years. Two gluten free vegans and he was so accommodating. I also got hurt mountain biking and he took such good care of me letting me ice my leg. Great vegan / gluten free options, nice atmosphere, let us charge our phones, and Atticus is clearly one of those men who is just good to their core. Will come back!

Burger Village in San Luis Obispo is a standout for anyone who loves variety—whether you’re into classic meats, exotic proteins, or plant-based patties. Here’s my take: ⸻ 🍔 Proteins for Every Palate • Organic Classic Beef: A reliably juicy, grass-fed patty. Goes great with cheddar, roasted peppers, and their signature sauce.  • Exotic Meats: Think elk, bison, lamb, turkey—and yes—boar, salmon, and even ostrich. A reviewer said their ostrich tasted “like a gamier turkey burger” and enjoyed the creative toppings pairing . Several folks name the elk burger “amazing.”  • Chicken, Salmon & More: You can also go with a chicken sandwich or salmon, each customizable with loads of toppings. () • Vegan/Plant-Based Options: Includes black bean, cauliflower, gluten-free veggie, and Impossible patties—with vegan buns, cheese, and spicy veganaise. Vegans love the flexibility: “Have multiple options on what type of vegan burger you want and you can put any toppings on it.”  ⸻ 🎨 Toppings & Build Your Own The topping game is on point: sautéed onions, mushrooms, pico de gallo, guac, fire-roasted peppers, jalapeños, fried eggs, applewood bacon, vegan mozzarella—the list goes on. There’s also wraps or lettuce/ gluten-free buns, making it easy to build a burger that fits your vibe. () ⸻ 🍻 Beer Bar & Aesthetic Step inside and you’re met with a bright, open layout: a sleek bar lined with a dozen-plus taps and a fridge of bottled beer. Draft beer lovers will delight—over 30 on tap, including local craft selections. One Yelp fan put it simply: “Huge on‑tap beer selection… can’t wait to go back.”  Wood accents, brick walls, and big windows give the space an airy, relaxed feel—perfect for a casual date night or post-work hang. ⸻ 🌿 Sides & Extras • Fries & Tots: Hand-cut fries, waffle fries, tots, and sweet potato fries—crispy and well-seasoned. • Appetizers: Vegan cauliflower tenders, loaded fries, falafel, even Impossible tenders. • Salads & Shakes: Hearty salads (like the signature tostada salad) and organic shakes round out the menu. () ⸻ 👥 Atmosphere & Service The vibe is friendly and laid-back. One SLO local noted that service was “super friendly and attentive,” and that it’s usually easy to grab a seat—even on weekends.  ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict Why it rocks: • Stellar protein variety—classic, exotic, vegan • Topping freedom meets creative combos • Great beer selection in an open, inviting space • Solid sides, shakes, and eco-conscious ethos (organic, peanut-free, gluten-free) What to note: • Exotic burgers can be pricier • Buns (especially brioche) can be a tad dry—ask for vegan or gluten-free options ⸻ ⭐ Rating 4.5 / 5 – Burger Village strikes an excellent balance between adventurous eats and comfort classics, all served in a welcoming, beer-friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re craving elk or an Impossible stack, there’s something to elevate your burger game. Next time you’re in downtown SLO, pair your custom build with a cold craft brew—your tastebuds (and Insta feed) will thank you.

We ate here safely with Gluten Allergies. GF buns are better than usual and the fries are great.

Edward Lucarini

Excellent gluten free options.

Brittany Elam

Lots of gluten free options. Food was fresh and delicious !

Floris Hendriks

Burger was good but not amazing. And pretty expensive. Gluten free bun fell apart right away but tasted good.

Paula Tsoi-A-Sue

Nice update! They added some extra gluten free and vegan options since the last time I was here. It was my first time here for brunch so I tried and loved the breakfast tacos(not vegan). Psyched to come back and try some of the new stuff 😋

Brittney Britts

I can’t say enough good things about this place! I have celiacs disease (gluten free) and they go above and beyond to ensure there is no cross contamination. The food is amazing and the service is awesome. We had Hailey as our server and she was kind, sweet, and attentive. We come from Phoenix a few times a year just to eat here. Love it!

OASISinAdelaide Catherine Yap

Great diner in Napa, such a gorgeous part of America, close to Napa Valley. Delicious fresh tasting burger, really fabulous, and able to be made gluten free, with a gluten free bun. Lots of booth seating inside and outside.

Betsy

Lots of gluten free options. This time they even made the gf mushroom and spinach pizza that is not in menu! Turkey burger is always a win!

Debbie Hollinger

Literally - best food ever. We’re GF and they’re so accommodating. Honestly best gf bun on my burger that I’ve ever had. And the gf wings - felt like we were cheating and eating gluten because they were so crispy. And the truffle fries were on point! Highly recommend this place. Great servers, amazing food and vibe is super fun.

Michelle Nguyen

We've been here quite a few times and every experience has been amazing! Great food and great staff! Every server we have had has been so kind and takes our gluten/shellfish allergy very seriously. Never had an issue :). Highly recommend this place!

Elisa Luci

Good gluten free buns! It was a surprise to fine a gluten free bread 😊 you can ask when you order, It costs only 1$ more

Jeff Litt

Great food, friendly staff, and good gluten free options make this a solid road trip stop every time I'm passing through Hopland

Mackenzie C

They are careful with allergies and have lots of gluten free options. They even have free gluten free cornbread to start your meal off once you let them know you have a gluten allergy

Meghan Long

Great gluten free options, delicious food and fun open air atmosphere.
