Top 24 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots to Explore in St. Louis

Great place if you are gluten free. They have dedicated fryers for gluten-free options

The food here was excellent! All members of our party enjoyed ourselves. The food was fresh, hot, and packed full of flavor! I really enjoyed their commitment to serving those with gluten allergies. The ciders were delicious and the fact that they showed the sugar content in each made it easy to pick what you desired most. The atmosphere was beautiful. Since it was a nice day in June, the bat door was open and there was a nice breeze. The only complaint were the drivers revving their engines loudly while driving by Service was also exceptional. Our server was attentive and regularly checked to ensure we had what we wanted or needed. I absolutely recommend Brick River Cider!

We tried Favazza’s around 1:30 p.m., so it wasn’t busy at all. Overall, it was just okay—an expensive, average experience. We started with the toasted ravioli, which was actually pretty good, nice, and crispy with a flavorful filling. For entrées, we had the manicotti, the pasta con broccoli with pink sauce, and the gluten-free shrimp with pasta, plus a dinner salad. Everything tasted fine, but nothing really stood out as exceptional, especially for the price. We sat on the patio, which was unfortunately extremely loud—even with few people around, the noise echoed and made conversation difficult. Service was a real disappointment. Our waitress was not attentive and kept disappearing for long stretches, leaving us waiting for refills and check-ins. In the end, it felt like we paid more than the quality and experience justified.

Really neat place. Waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable! My 8 year old who has gluten and dairy allergies was able to enjoy a “normal” sandwich and Root beer float! He was on cloud 9!!

Russell Gold

What a delightful place! It's so vibey with graffiti'd walls (and ceilings), and an open, welcoming charm. It was relaxed and casual and delicious with HUGE portions without breaking the bank. Options for vegetarians, vegans, and a whole extra menu of gluten-free options (gotta request it). I live thousands of miles away, otherwise this would be my go-to place, especially for my out of town visitors! Loved it!

Allie Ashman

Phenomenal! Great food, great drinks, lovely indoor and outdoor seating - all in a cute little country store. Can’t wait to come back! They were also very knowledgeable about my gluten-free restrictions, which I very much appreciated!

Best chicken in Saint Louis. And they have gluten free version that my celiac son said was the best he’s ever had. Made him so happy. All of us loved it and will be back. Thanks Grant

My experience at Hatched was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Our waitress, Mia, took our order and immediately understood what it meant when I mentioned I have celiac disease. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and made me feel very reassured. When our food arrived, a gentleman (whose name I didn’t catch) brought it out and mentioned that he is also a gluten-free diner. He explained that they had taken special care with my meal to make it safe, and even adjusted the “Blue Pancakes” by leaving out the lemon to avoid any risk of cross-contamination — while still trying to stay true to the original flavor. What truly stood out was that after the meal, Mia came back to the table specifically to ask how I was feeling. It was such a thoughtful touch and showed how much they genuinely cared about my dining experience. Because of their attention to detail, understanding, and kindness, I felt completely comfortable eating — without any fear or hesitation. I can’t recommend Hatched enough, not just for the incredible food, but for their outstanding service and heartfelt care for their guests.

We ate here after a trip to the STL Art Museum. My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs. I had a gluten free deluxe pizza. We both had salads. The food was scrumptious. The salads weren’t the plain iceberg and cheese salads most restaurants have. The gluten free pizza tasted like pizza not cardboard. I only have one pic, and it’s of the pizza I had left. I took it home. Yum! My husband swiped up every last bit of sauce with his bread because it was so tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s clean and cozy with a relaxed atmosphere and Sinatra in the background. What a great way to wrap up our day in the city!

Great service, good for large groups. Our group of 10 sat outside on the back patio and it was very comfortable. The food was full of unique flavors. They have lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options. The sweet potato fajitas were perfectly cooked. Equal parts sweet and spicy.

Jennifer was my server. She was super sweet. She was also crushing it at serving the whole place. She reassured me that I everything I ordered was and could be made GF and even put in gluten allergy for me (I have celiac) so I felt very comfortable knowing that she knew what she was talking about. And the tacos were delicious. I will be back

Mandi Miller

One of the best brunches of all time. They were so kind to me and made me a gluten free pancake and the rest of the food was incredible. Everyone in our group had a great experience.

My lover and i visit Jeni’s at least once a week and i often find myself comparing any other ice cream to theirs.. Ordering four scoops in one dish to share brings the price to about $9 before tip which is an absolute steal for what you get. No other ice cream can compare flavor or texture wise!! It isn’t even an issue to order all scoops in the same dish because their melt time is surprisingly slow. They also have an array of gluten and dairy free options which i find myself ordering and not even realizing!!! My favorite combo is the salted peanut butter with chocolate flakes with their birthday cake. Truly magic in your mouth

Short Cord

It's a great place to take friends and family and enjoy a few drinks, good food, and plenty of board games. They have lots of vegan and gluten free dishes too. It can get noisy so if you are easily affected by that in the long term, wearing something like loops will help. Parking is kinda hit or miss, they are still attempting to get a permit for the lot across the street. For now parking is on surface streets.

Our family of five all agree that we have never been disappointed and we all love Sen. The food, drinks and service are always excellent but the absolute best part is that I can eat there gluten free and be confident that I won't get sick.

Over 3 days in St Louis, I ate at: * Salt + Smoke (Delmar Blvd) * Pappy’s Smokehouse * Sugarfire Smokehouse Pappy’s had the best sausage, and the pickles were really good. It felt a little cheap that the pickles cost money. The brisket was very finely shaved - almost a roast beef. The ribs were really good, my favorite of the 2 places I had them. I liked their sauce, but the take out container was cheap and hard to re-seal. Good gluten free gf options.

Julie Ferrari Beyer

We tried this place due to its reputation for gluten free options. Hubby got the King roast beef sandwich and he got enough roast beef for 3 sandwiches. He LOVED their gluten free bun. They also have a dedicated fryer for French fries. I had the gluten free chicken strips that tasted fine but the portion was skimpy. I think others with larger appetites might leave hungry. The salad on the other hand was fresh and huge. I could only eat half. This was the first time at a Lion's Choice and 2 counter people were a bit rude when I didn't know I was supposed to take my salad out of the cooler and for another incident. Also, none of the sauces or dressings are listed in the nutrition guide. For a business that does such a great job addressing gluten issues, I was surprised they are ignoring possible allergy issues in this part of their menu. We will probably eat her again but we won't my rushing back.

This place was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was great and when he greeted us, he let us know this was the place on The Hill and boy he did not lie! The food was to die for. They have wonderful specials and are super accommodating. I am gluten-free and my they had many gluten friendly options. My partner ordered the lasagna and said it was amazing, the best of his life (it really may be better than your Nonna's). While it is not the cheapest option, it is definitely worth the price. I genuinely cannot wait to come back!

The waitress was knowledgeable about gluten free options and the menu is properly labeled. They also can make some tacos gluten free if you ask. My daughter got the big ass nacho which was really fun bc it literally is one big nacho pizza. I love the governors tacos and the portobello taco. Everything I've ever eaten here, even with gluten, is delightful.

Lisa Newcomer

Brisket is fire. Service is great, but I was annoyed by the staff member who kept referring to me as "friend" (I don't even know her). The atmosphere is fine, not special but clean. Baked beans and fries are also very good. I have a gluten allergy and don't get sick eating here!!

Lior Seidel

I love the coffee and the GF options. So good!
