Top 22 Gluten-Free Burger Joints Across Chicago

Nancy Ramos

First time ordering delivery for a Gluten Free pizza. The pizza was delicious and came in Gluten Free box as expected. Based on reviews pizza did not affect Celiac individuals. Based on reviews items are kept separate to avoid cross contamination. I hope it stays true to this so we can keep ordering it for our family. Thank you!

I could rant and rave about this pizza for hours. Their gluten free, stuffed deep dish is rediculously good. Dont even get me started on the gluten free calzones 😭 I've ordered delivery from here like 3 times this week, it's just so good!

Sylvia Smith

Excellent gluten free options, including blueberry pancakes!

Good GF buns!

Raj Joshi

We thoroughly enjoyed the gluten-free fish and chips, asparagus dip, and drinks. The ambiance was wonderful, and the service was friendly and attentive. I’ve been craving fish and chips for a while now, and I finally found a place that satisfies my craving.

There was a 2 hour wait to get into Au Cheval; and many people we talked to highly recommended we go there. They said it was an amazing burger, and we needed to try it out. So... we waited our two hours and wandered other establishments, wondering what this burger would be like. Firstly, hype is a dangerous thing, especially in the food industry, and when we were finally allowed to enter and eat we noticed that the menu was down to Earth and there wasn't anything too crazy or unique... But.... I tell you what, it was a delicious hamburger, and the place reminded me of a nostalgic diner feel with a modern hipster take; it was highly enjoyable to be there and to just experience your meal with whoever you chose to share it with. They took their food and their reputation very seriously; they paid attention to every detail, and they were highly aware of food allergies and how to navigate the menu for people with Gluten Allergies like myself. The hamburger was delcious... complimented with their in-house "Dijonaise" sauce. The coffee was amazing... but what made our experience even better was when my buddy asked for some real cream for his coffee. Our waitress proceeded to go into the kitchen and to make a fresh blend of milk and cream to ensure that he could thoroughly enjoy his meal and coffee. The food was tasty, the staff was great, and you could tell that everyone who worked there cared about the customer experience and the reputation of the restaurant. Highly recommend you grab a bite when you can. Allergy friendly options are available.

Glad they had a gluten free menu

Andrew Martin

Great gluten free restaurant! Love the vibe and all the options. Recommend for brunch or dinner... Check it out!

Kareena

Great spot — highly recommend! Beautiful decor and ambiance with solid drinks and food to match. What we ordered: Whipped feta with truffle honey — delicious Feta pistachio pesto Gluten-free spiced beluga lentils Drinks were great too. If you’re into something on the sweeter side, try the Lavender Knees Bees. All around, 10/10

Katie McKee

Have eaten here many times and have always felt fine after

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

Christopher Buckhalter

Great experience, gluten friendly. My daughter has celiac, and they were very accommodating

Eric Miller

Classic 80s vibe with a solid menu. Great for a quick bite or a last stop after the bar. Plenty of Gluten free options were a huge win for us and the Animal Fries seemed a bit scary on the menu but we're sooo good.

Sara F.

Had a work lunch here last week, and was happy to see there is a separate gluten free menu available, so I didn't get my hopes up about something I couldn't actually have. My dish came out with a little flag indicating "allergy" so there was no confusion at the table. Most importantly, the food was very good!

Stephen Walsh

So excited to see gluten free options. Great food great service.

Cierra Maras

Love shake shack for their gluten free options! This location was quick, clean, and orders were correct. Clean bathrooms. Open late.

Solid place to eat, solid pancakes, I think they might've been gluten free or something, could hardly tell. Tasty. Did not love the sausage, not savory or spicy, more of a sweet sausage. Cute spot seems good for a quick meet up or doing some work.

Rachel Mandelker

The staff is very knowledgeable and kind! I’ve never gotten sick here :)

Erica Taylor

The food was delicious. And the atmosphere was just what I would want from an upscale pub. The one issue was I had to do my order 3 times. Once with the original waitress, once bc of a gluten sensitivity which I had explained to the waitresses and once to the person serving it bc there was no Cheese on my cheese burger. Otherwise great.

Eli Twig

Good burger solid gluten free bun

Ellen Chlumecky

Our waitress Emily was an angel ! Took my gluten allergy into consideration and provided great recommendations. I feel she was often described as a pleasure to have in class. Will be coming back soon!

Emily Costello

Gluten free buns were great , fries in separate fryer and servers knowledge of allergies fantastic ! Food was great . Server very nice

marypat k

They have gluten free buns which is awesome for me. The food is really good but expensive for a burger.

Azra Sungu

One of the best vegan burgers that I've ever had! They don't have much vegan options, most of the add-ons and sauces have dairy ingredients but the ones available won't disappoint you. The patty had a really nice crust on the outside and was not mushy like most bean-based patties. It would be wonderful to see gluten-free bun as an option, I had to eat in a lettuce bun but still wasn't bad. The staff is super friendly and care about your experience!

Joe Purcell

Recently diagnosed Celiac and was very excited to see that most items were either gluten free or able to be made gluten free. I had their version of a Big Mac and some fries and buffalo cauliflower. Everything was fantastic

Cierra Maras

Clean seating areas, clean bathrooms. Food is amazing as always. As a celiac, I love that I can get a gluten free bun. I've never gotten sick eating here (gluten wise). Coming from MN this is a must stop!

Meghan

A nice place to have breakfast. The waiter was friendly and welcoming. The place did seem understaffed. There was only one waiter who was helping multiple people inside and out as well as seating them. However he was very good at getting orders in and getting food out to you. I hope he gets some extra help in the future. The food was great. They have gluten free bread and pancakes which was very nice to see.

aly

Easy access by subway (red line) and bus (146). Easy menu to be able to build your meal. The were halal and had gluten free options. Had the burger and milkshake. Was epic! Glad we were able to stop by!

Herward Ahlheit

We had the Vegan Burger which comes with a glutenfree bun. The taste was great, we loved it!

Philip Cantore

Delicious hamburger served in the style of yesteryear. I haven’t had a burger like this in nearly 40 years. Reminds me of Cal’s (R.I.P.) in Worth, IL from my childhood. Burgers are perfectly seasoned and come out piping hot. They have a very fresh and juicy taste because the beef isn’t frozen. If you have dietary restrictions (gluten free, keto, carnivore), you can get your burger with a lettuce wrap or no bun. Fries were delicious. My only complaint is there weren’t more, but then again it was already a full basket haha. I was just loving them with my burger. The owner is friendly and helpful and if you dine-in, he’ll bring your food to your table. Definitely worth throwing a few bucks his way for the top notch service you won’t get at any fast food joint. Seating is very limited, but it looks like they have seating outside during the non-winter months. Worth checking out if you’re looking for a good old fashioned Midwestern hamburger! Note: street parking only.

I am gluten-free, which is why I chose it. They have gf buns, however, the bun fell apart and crumbled in my hand. You really need to toast gf bread and buns. They are expensive, which would be fine if it where amazing.

If you're a burger enthusiast, DMK Burger Bar in Lakeview is a must-try! With a wide array of options, including gluten-free items, they cater to a variety of dietary needs—a major plus! Their 100% grass-fed beef, bison, and turkey burgers served on artisanal buns are not only delicious but made with quality ingredients. And I could tell! *chefs kiss* They were featured on the Food Network and recognized as one of Chicago's most iconic burger spots, and now I see why they are a top spot when it comes to the burger scene. **What We Tried:** Golden Gate Spritz & Blood Orange Loco: These were just okay/average cocktails IMO. Backyard BBQ Burger: My dad said it was juicy and flavorful. -BYOB (Build Your Own Burger): I customized mine (beef/cheese/egg/bacon/lettuce/tomato/chipotle sauce on the side) and really enjoyed it. Presentation was nice as well. Parmesan Fries with Truffle Cream: A fav! Crispy and fresh. No fry was left behind! Sweet Potato Fries with Lemon Tabasco Aioli: Pretty good, but have had better. I usually like them a bit crisper. Crispy Brussels Sprouts: Really good! The parmesan, bacon, and maple honey glaze combo was perfection. Milkshakes Cookies N Cream & Banana Chocolate): creamy/thick which was delightful because I hate “watery” shakes. Really good wrap up to the meal. For those that like activities, DMK Burger Bar offers fun extras like trivia nights, happy hour, and even Bachelor Nation watch parties. Football game-day specials are also available for sports fans. Overall, the food was solid, and the variety makes it worth a return trip! 🌟

I had an appalling experience at Shack Burger on August 7th, around 8 PM. I ordered a gluten-free burger without bacon due to dietary restrictions. To my dismay, when my order finally arrived—after a 15-minute wait—I found that the burger still had bacon on it. This is not just an issue of preference; it’s a serious health concern. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, instead of preparing a new burger as they should have, they simply removed the bacon from the existing burger and handed it back to me. This is completely unacceptable. The fact that they thought this was an appropriate way to address the situation shows a blatant disregard for customer safety and a total lack of professionalism. When I confronted them about this, they insisted they had prepared a new burger in just 30 seconds—a claim that’s both insulting and clearly untrue given the original 15-minute wait time. It’s clear that they either lied to me or did not take my concerns seriously. As someone who has to be extremely cautious about what I eat due to health reasons, I find this behavior outrageous. Shack Burger needs to educate their staff on the importance of handling food allergies with care and respect. This kind of carelessness can lead to serious health risks, and it’s appalling to see such a lack of concern. I am deeply disappointed and furious about how my situation was handled. I expect much better from an establishment that serves food to the public. I will not be returning and will advise others, especially those with food allergies, to avoid this place until they can assure their customers that they are capable of properly handling special dietary requests.

Living with major gluten issues, is difficult-especially when I go out to eat. I called ahead of time to ask about their GF options. I told them I was interested in a salad dish. They called the chef, got ingredients, and I called them back. They told me specifically the ingredients of the dressing and it was completely GF. When I arrived, they knew about my gluten issue and they were able to prepare my dish separately!!! I didn’t get sick. The strawberry salad and chicken was DELICIOUS. I’ll be going back! My boyfriend loved the shrimp tacos.

Au Cheval has a Small CHEVAL in Hyde Park that has gluten free options, and alcohol with ID for delivery.

Went for a weekend brunch and got their famous burger. For a near $30 burger, it is a tad disappointing that fries aren't included or even on the menu for brunch. Burger had great flavor, but the sauce and toppings really carried most of the flavor. The meat itself was on the dry side. Also tried their coconut pancakes. Very heavy on the coconut flavor if you like that, but because it is gluten-free, expect the denseness and dryness that comes with that territory; not even the syrup could help 3/5. If you have some cash burning a hole in your wallet and a hankering for strong drinks and decent food, go try this place out.
