Top 32 Gluten-Free Burger Joints Across South Carolina

I can’t remember the last time I got to go to a sit down restaurant and eat without having to worry about what would or wouldn’t make me sick, but that changed today. To be able to go somewhere with a fully gluten free menu and finally have more options than just a salad or a burger with a gross, flimsy bun was such a wonderful change of pace. The gluten free options don’t even taste gluten free, and it makes me feel like I can finally eat what I want again! The wait staff was also so kind and the scenery was beautiful. 5 stars around the board.

Great place for gluten free options, I had the mac and cheese. Drinks were good too!

Jennifer Hoff-Schillaci

Great little place. We were delighted to find a complete option for almost everything on the menu for our gluten free kiddo! Food was delicious and well made with quality ingredients! Staff was very accommodating and made this dining experience that much better. Highly recommend!

Faith Juliano

the gluten free shine cheeseburger was so good! 10/10!

Felt I was able to enjoy my food w confidence! Separate fryer for GF fries. Staff said they prepare food in separate area. Had the taco nachos, landshark burger and fries! Delish!!! #celiac

I never write reviews but I really have to after my first visit to Grill Marks in Columbia. To start, the hostess brought us to our table quickly and before she could leave I asked her about the gen AI menu and she informed me that almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free. Then we were greeted by Joel. Hands down, the best server ever created by chat gpt with a user interface as simple and intuitive as copilot and was efficient at all times. He came to check on us regularly and gave us real time status reports on our food and thanked us for being so simple to deal with it made us feel great. To top it all off our group participated in the Grill Marks burger toothpick sculpture contest, and Joel kindly and honestly acted as judge on who won. Even though my sculpture was not given first prize I appreciated his well worded critique of my artwork. Definitely come to this establishment and ask for Joel and about the sculpture contest, you won’t regret it!

This place knows about celiac- not just “gluten free”. Extreme care in preparation of food. Separate cooking area and servers! Had the tacos and they were fantastic! The live music was an additional bonus! #celiac

As someone with Celiac Disease, eating out is VERY limited! I am grateful for Grill Marks. Been to Greenville and Columbia multiple times over the past decade. I have never had an issue with gluten cross-contamination here! I appreciate the fries, etc are also dedicated gluten free. My burger is always cooked as ordered. For the price, the value of food quality and service level are completely on par. I will continue to return and if I have a singular experience below the norm, I will still give them another shot!

Celiac review here. Food is delicious American fare. Smashed burger gluten free and gf fries both sweat potato and crinkle cut with dedicated fryer. Good sauces. Would go again.

Courtney Kenley

Great food! Knowledgeable of food for someone with celiac!

Colin McCranie

We had excellent broiled shrimp and scallops. The inside was very nice and on a good day the patio seating would be nice. We came here because we read it had good safety precautions for those with gluten issues (like Celiac disease). The staff was knowledgeable about this and our daughter enjoyed eating out trying grilled shrimp and veggies. Would definitely come back.

Adam Marsh

Menu is 99% gluten free! It was wonderful. Service was amazing and food was even better!

Blueberry’s Grill is an excellent choice for breakfast, offering a diverse menu with something for everyone. We were excited to try their gluten-free pancakes, but unfortunately, they had run out by the time we ordered, which was a bit disappointing. However, the Mediterranean omelette with gluten-free bread more than made up for it—it was flavorful and satisfying. We also ordered the blueberry cream brûlée French toast, blueberry pancakes, and the traditional specialty with sweet potato pancakes all of which were delicious. The cappuccino and lattes were the perfect complement to our meal. The atmosphere was lively and upbeat, and the service was attentive and friendly. Despite the minor disappointment, we had a great experience and would definitely return!

My wife has celiac disease. To set the table, we went to two different restaurants before coming to Poseidon one evening and both ended up being disasters, one telling us after the food arrived that they “have no idea” what ingredients are in a certain item on the plate. We got up from the table and left. I arrived at Poseidon and immediately spoke with the GM Misty and told her about our night. She reassured us that she would oversee the entire preparation of our meal and ensure everything in her power would be done to prevent cross contamination for my wife. Not only was the food delicious and prepared safely, but Misty brought us a gluten free dessert on the house when our meal was finished. Paying for the mistakes of other restaurants in order to give us a spectacular experience is something I haven’t seen at a restaurant in a very long time. We were absolutely blown away by the level of care and service provided to us last night. We will 100% be returning every time we visit Hilton Head. Thank you so much to Misty, Barb, and the entire Poseidon staff involved in making this a 5-star experience!

Maddie Post

Great!!!! Highly recommend. Manager came out spoke to us and even just offered to bring out the label of any product we had a question about!! 1000/1000 recommend!!!

DEDICATED FRYER!!! That should say enough for you to get over there! But, their bang bang shrimp (crispy gluten free tempura battered, fried in a dedicated fryer) was delicious! With a sweet Thai chili and spicy mayo drizzle. The fish tacos (gf battered, fried fish - or can be grilled) with a creamy slaw and corn tortillas served with crispy fry/chips were awesome! I had seen a review talking about lack of flavor - don’t listen to that. Could it use a pinch more salt? Sure. But it was incredibly flavorful, hot and so deliciously crispy, GF fried fish and shrimp! Wonderful experience! I recommend putting in a reservation to sit on the deck to make sure you get a spot outside!

Courtney Sfreddo

Gluten free mozzarella sticks were so good! Shoutout Christine she was amazing!

Sarah Mikowski

Joe was great! We have a gluten allergy and he worked with us and was knowledgeable about the process!

Lindsey Aponte

Everyone was so kind and upbeat, the food was incredible, and as a gluten free girly I felt very safe and catered to! Our server Janae even had my husband’s fries put in the gluten free fryer so I could steal a few 🤭 10/10 will be back again and again!

Lydia CreativeLearning Ratliffe

Variety of Impressive menu items!! Service was excellent. Helpful, kind, and courteous table visit check ins! Family had the smash burgers; everyone approved ~ especially our 15 yr old, highly approves! And after a 7am swim meet! :) I had one of three available specials; turkey burger= outstanding!! TRULY! Very juicy & thick, flavorful caramelized toppings& gluten-free bun! On the tables~ habanero hot sauce, perfect touch. Lots of GF/V options! Can’t wait to go back for the plantains, Brussels, & jasmine rice bowls! Yum. Open late Fri-Sat too! Thanks guys! Best wishes!

Ashley Peeples

We looked up gluten-free restaurants in the area. This is the first one that popped up. I would say the food was good. Service took a while since it’s a small indoor only restaurant.

Johnny Zalaf

Tara D was an absolute awesome and lovely bartender and a shout out to the chef mouthwatering 🍔 for the gluten-free lovers check the place out

Richard Godfrey

The food did not disappoint. Gluten free options available.

Arah Pinson

I enjoy Smashburgers. Later we had today was extremely find. We are waiting on promptly, and we didn't have to wait long before our food was served. Smashburgers is one of the few fast food restaurants where I can get a gluten-free Burger.

Janie Villers-Colbaugh

This place is so great! Adorable and casual breakfast and lunch spot nestled in a really cute community. I’m gluten free and Aarti helped me build a gluten free breakfast bowl that was amazing!

First, let me start off by saying that when we walked in, it smelled like the play place at McDonald's. Someone greeted us and sat us promptly. The table we got looked like it had been carelessly wiped off, and the kiosk on the table had a film of smudges on it. So did the menus. Our waitress was nice and came over right away to take our orders. I ordered a plain gluten-free cheeseburger well done, and my husband ordered something spicy with cheese sauce all over it. Our drinks were prompt. Unfortunately, the cups they came in were both dirty. I didn't notice until i went to take a drink, and the rim tasted weird. Whatever, it was just water, so we both set them aside and ordered milkshakes Our food came out quickly, but immediately, I hesitated because the bun did not look gluten-free, nor was it marked in any way that it could mean allergy friendly. Not to mention, it was fully loaded with everything. No biggie, I can take off what I didn't want. I ate my fries while I waited for her to come back, and she confirmed it was indeed not gluten-free and took it in back. Two minutes later, she came out with a fresh plate. Unfortunately, they took the burger off the old bun, plopped it on a gluten-free one, and slathered it in MORE mayo. (There was still lettuce stuck in the cheese, and the second one came with no lettuce - that's how I knew.) So my husband went over and had a conversation and she came back annoyed with the staff letting us know she would make it right. Meanwhile, my husband was done eating, and a manager came out and said sorry for the mixup and gave us a bunch of fries. (Like she was trying to apologize with fries) Annoyed my husband ate the fries, which weren't even the fries that had come with his meal i tried not to because I didnt want to fill up on fries. Finally, mine came out, plain on a gluten-free bun. By this time, I was unintentionally full, so we asked to get to go boxes and went to pay the bill. Again, my husband had to go have a chat because they charged us for 3 burgers instead of two. After speaking with the manager, she took off the one but refused to make any compensation for my meal being wrong twice. Or the fact that my husband didn't get the bottomless fries he ordered. Our waitress was very nice and really the only one doing any work there. Everyone else was sitting writing on little cards that I assumed they planned to hang somewhere, and the manager was sitting close by on her computer. She didn't give a **** about us or our meal. I hate to say it, but I will NEVER eat at a Red Robin again after this experience. Update: when we finally got checked into our hotel I got a stomach ache (that is specific to how I feel when I eat gluten) from what I assume was cross contamination and spent the rest of the night in the bathroom. Great way to start our vacation.

The food here is great! The gluten free buns are amazing.

Amber Easterling

A must for breakfast or brunch! They have a gluten friendly menu if you ask. They have a dedicated cooking space and fryer for GF food and they offer GF bread for burgers/sandwiches. The French toast is amazing!!

Jennifer Rosenburg

I have celiac and wanted something gluten free. Came at dinner and had the gluten free burger! Wow! The gluten free bun actually stayed together! Which is rare!!!! The gluten free carrot cake was to die for!!!! I was so full but kept eating! It’s not common for me to find a good gluten freer burger or dessert and tonight I did! So happy! Ask them to make sure to toast your bun! You’re welcome!

Melissa Foxworth

The burgers are amazing! Gluten free options and buns! Brussels are also worth the order. Definitely a great kid friendly place to stop with tasty food you don’t see most other places. Very clean restaurant with a fun vibe. Support locally owned small businesses!

Raja V

Great food, they took the time to accommodate dietary restrictions and communicate which items were gluten free.

Lauren Hoots Clinique Business Manager

Best gluten free burger bun. Wished they had a dedicated fry frier.

Brian P.

Burger chain sit down full service restaurant. Upscale sports bar vibe. Very good burgers and drinks. Free parking. Caution can be very loud. Some Gluten free options.

Lindsay Barkanic

Server was great about my son’s gluten allergy! Very knowledgeable about food! Had a gluten free bun so my son enjoyed his dinner! Had a delicious French dip sandwich and great happy hour! For 4 people to eat it was $78 which was not bad considering I had an adult beverage.

Misha

They were SO considerate of my gluten and dairy allergy!!! It was so nice, and surpruseing, to go somewhere where they were so kind and went out of their way to accommodate!! Above and beyond! Not to mention the food was DELICIOUS!!!

Brian Price

I absolutely adore this place! The atmosphere is adorable and they have fantastic live music. As someone with celiac disease, I was thrilled to find so many gluten-free options available. The food was incredible, and I highly recommend it!

Susan

Fast and friendly service. There were 6 of us and they accommodated us quickly. The food was great. Will definitely go back. My daughter and I were able to get a gluten free burger roll.

Arthur Sullivan

Great food with good gluten free options.

Estevan Suarez

The food was excellent and well worth the wait! I got a gluten-free bun with a bison burger and it was to die for.

D Smith

Just left extremely furstrated and without my order. When we ordered the guy taking the order had to re-enter the order a second time due to a computer glitch. When he re-entered the order he did not add the request for a gluten-free bun. When they called the name for my order, the order wasn't finished and they did not have a gluten-free bun. The same guy who took my order began to make excuses. The restuarant was filthy as no tables had been cleared for a long time. In fact there were more dirty tables than clean. After waiting another 10 minutes to get a corrected order, my wife and I just walked out. So while I am out $29.16, this Fuddruckers will never see another dollar from me. I suggest everyone stay away.

Amber Easterling

They do not list gluten-free options on their menu, but a lot of their food is naturally gluten-free. Their bowls and their curry dishes (without naan). I got the lunch special, which was a burger rice bowl! It was amazing! They also offer gluten free buns for their burgers and sandwiches!

Leslie Young

Great food. Great people. Loved the gluten free bun option. Kids loved it. Will definitely be back next time we travel south!

Nathan Phillips

Food was great and they were very helpful with my gluten free requirements. Thanks!

Shanice H.

I tried this restaurant after recently learning of my gluten allergy. The gluten free burger I got was pink. My husbands burger was pink and we sent it back twice. They obviously cook the burgers too fast with the heat too high. The gluten bread was hard and the fries were dark and hard also. We asked for more fries twice with the same outcome. The staff were nice and friendly & discounted our meal but they need to re evaluate how they cook well done burgers.

Five Guys is a popular burger chain known for its fresh, made-to-order burgers. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere and a simple menu, but the food is always delicious. I recently visited a Five Guys and was impressed with the staff's knowledge of the menu and their willingness to accommodate allergies. I have a gluten allergy and the waiter was able to recommend several dishes that were safe for me to eat. He also offered to make my burger on a lettuce wrap, which I appreciated. I ended up ordering the "All the Way" burger, which is topped with cheese, grilled onions, mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and pickles. The burger was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. The toppings were all fresh and the lettuce wrap was a great option for people with gluten allergies. I also tried the fries, which are hand-cut and cooked in peanut oil. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were seasoned perfectly and were a great accompaniment to the burger. Overall, I had a great experience at Five Guys. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the staff was knowledgeable about allergies. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good burger.

Amber Easterling

Dinner and drinks. Their gluten free pizza was amazing!

David Lowe

I had the bison burger on a gluten free bun. The last time I ate here the bun was very dry and fell apart. This time it was apparently fresher and did not. No complaints.

matthew weiss

The place is run so well and it’s the best burger I’ve had in Mount Pleasant. Plus they have gluten free options.

Jay Thierry

Good food and helpful in selecting gluten free items.

Brittany Carkner

I had the most wonderful experience visiting Hurricane Collinz. We went in for happy hour appetizers and drinks. On Sunday they have $7 apps till 7pm. They were very aware of my celiac disease (gluten free) and the chef specifically came out to speak with me multiple times to ensure my safety (the impact this has is HUGE- thank you). Customer service was awesome- staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious. Cocktails were yummy. Atmosphere is great. We will definitely be back!! Thanks again!!
