Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Dedicated Fryers Across Maryland

Lucas

Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up staying for dessert too - butter chicken was fire, and that gluten-free cupcake? Unreal. Definitely coming back.

Alexander’s Tavern is owned by someone knowledgeable about Celiac and offers a multitude of safe gluten-free options with a dedicated kitchen space and fryer! I recommend the nachos and tater tots!

Deborah Bowe

Gluten free! No inside seating, so if you are buying a hot and ready item you'll be sitting outside or in your car to eat. Took someone with celiac there, they got to have their first chicken tender, churro, and onion rings in years. They were delish, with a lot of flavor in the breading.

Oh my dear beloved Burtons, This is our go-to restaurant as a Celiac family. Any event, celebration, etc, we are at Burtons. Unfortunately, the Riverdale location is going off of our list and will be returning to the Alexandria location. When I say we go for all the celebrations, I'm not joking. Yesterday was the worst experience we have ever had at any restaurant and it was brunch on Father's Day. Mother's Day was fine. We were there. No issues. But, Father's Day was a diabolical disaster. If this was our first experience, which I fear it was some people's first time, I would never come back. Let me start by saying, the serving staff was amazing. You could tell the kitchen was falling apart but they were trying their best to hold the front of house together. I am going to repeat that we were there for brunch so when I say there were no water pitchers or food was unavailable, you know it got worse throughout the day into dinner service. Why advertise specials that you don't have? My husband and I both ordered off the specials menu. Appetizer sold out (at brunch.. yikes), main course was unrecognizable. They didn't have mashed potatoes, which were part of the dish. The sauce was missing from the chicken, and the chicken was more like Jerky. Needless to say, I took my meal home and didn't eat it. I was offered french fries at the end of my meal when I was informed there were in fact no mashed potatoes cooked. I took those home too. My daughter also ordered chicken that she didn't eat because hers was also a dried out jerky form. I will say, the waitress did comp a piece of chocolate cake, but after spending $150 on meals that 3/4 of us didn't eat, I decided you need to do better. In this economy, $150 for a family of 4 to have brunch comes with a certain expectation and you failed. Like I said, our family adores Burtons and we know what this restaurant is capable of and a busy brunch isn't an excuse to lose customers. I can only imagine what a mess dinner service was when you were running out of food by lunch time. Poor management destroys business. Do better. You have a strong reputation to uphold in the allergy and celiac community.

They can make all their crepes gluten free and they are absolutely delicious!

Maggie Shatzer

Everything is gluten free. Fantastic options here, best gluten free waffles i’ve ever had and amazing avocado toast.

Lora Davis

Full gluten free menu! I tried gf fried chicken sandwich and loved it. The bun held together and was not gritty. There must be a bit of heat in the gf batter but it was delicious. No bacon for me but added pickle slices. I can't wait to try more gf dishes here The waiter was great

Sal Francomacaro

Many, many options for celiac and/or gluten intolerant folks

Laura Bagley

Great food and service in a fantastic location. So many gluten free options! Our server, James, was knowledgeable about the menu and super helpful in explaining all the gluten free options available to us. My husband LOVED the beef stew: great flavor, plenty of beef. My salad was huge and fresh, no wilty greens. We split an order of fish and chips, made gluten free with specific batter and dedicated fryers. The batter was SO crispy. My husband ordered the creme brulee with whipped cream and fresh berries for dessert, and it was AMAZING. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to a return trip.

I love BIBIBOP. I have celiac’s disease so finding restaurants is really difficult. But BIBIBOP is 100% gluten free! I love their food especially some of the new things they recent added to their menu.

Allison Kaplan (Celiac)

They can make almost everything on the menu gluten free and the food came out with an allergy sticker on it! Plus, a dedicated fryer- the truffle fries were AMAZING! No reaction :)

Gerson Vazquez

Went here for dinner with my wife while we were on vacation, figured we try something new. The food was amazing, we got the paella Valencia bowl(bought 2 by accident we didn’t realize how big it actually was!) so we had plenty to take home. My wife also got the watermelon salad and I got the beef empanadas which were also really good. The view of the bay is also very pretty. Jose was a great waiter he made sure we were taken care of and made sure my wife’s order was put in properly (she has celiac disease). Can’t wait to go back to OCMD and dine here again.

Boning Ma

This Chinese restaurant's gluten- free meal is my only spot to eat , this Chinese food is my favorite. I drove a long way to get here to eat the food

hodan

Amazing healthy food and priced well. Great option for my fellow celiac family. Dedicated gluten free facility.

Kat Alstavo

Came here for the first time a few days ago, and the service and food was so good that we came back today. We came in around 11am and were immediately asked if we wanted to see gluten free, vegan, or brunch menus. They sat us down and our server, Kellen, brought everyone water without us having to ask for it. He was so friendly and took our order (party of 4) without writing anything down so i was a bit skeptical. We each had multiple very specific modifications with our food, so I didn’t think he would remember them, but he got every single detail right. Was funny, friendly and warm, and got us boxes and the bill at an appropriate time, and refilled drinks as soon as he saw they were slightly low.

Grace Moore

Great place for breakfast and lunch! The employee was very helpful in explaining what menu items could be modified to be gluten free. Very generous portion sizes as well. I will definitely come back for dinner and to sit in the outdoor patio!

Rico Mason

The chicken here is always great. Some of the best fries I’ve had in a long time. I also appreciate the great service. My wife is Celiac (gluten free) and never had any issues.

Jason Pettrey

Needed to find a good local gluten-free spot near University of Maryland – this one came up and really hit the spot. We ended up doing dine-in one evening, and then did delivery the next evening. Their bowls are simple, but they’re extremely filling and delicious. They have lots of different options that you can customize so it doesn’t feel like you have the same thing twice, even though there were only five or six main things on the menu. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you have a gluten allergy.

J Jones

We are not from the area and we're traveling through. We ended up not being able to stop for dinner until 11:00 p.m. on a Sunday night. Good luck finding anywhere to eat at that time!! West End Grill was one of the few places that was open. I have a severe gluten allergy, and they had a separate gluten-free menu and separate gluten-free fryer. I got the burger with no bun and hand cut homemade French fries. It was awesome! My husband had the homemade jalapeno poppers and bought another order to go. They were amazing! For being a Sunday night at 11:00 p.m. the place is actually pretty packed, and the service was great! I'm so glad we were able to find the West End Grill and definitely will go there again on our way through the area. Highly recommend!

Jonathan Pevey

Took my girlfriend for her birthday. She has Celiac. The menu options were plentiful. The food was excellent. The staff was attentive but not intrusive.

Mark Robinson

This is a review both of this location and for the recent changes in Bibbibop’s menu. My wife has a gluten allergy and we have loved eating at Bibbibop for years. But since you all removed the signature bowls from the menu and haven’t provided instructions for your employees to re-create them when requested we are seriously considering never dining here again. Fine if you all want to change up your menu, but don’t get rid of the things that were on the menu that people loved and want to order again! That’s just a stupid choice to make as a business! And this particular branch of Bibbibop was pretty disappointing with the portions they gave us, and the fact that the employees who were working the line didn’t know or couldn’t remember how to recreate the signature bowls I was asking for and so we got pretty pathetic variations of the bowls and very small portions of them. I also asked them to be very light on the yum yum sauce for my dairy sensitive daughter’s bowl and they drowned it in sauce. Then when I asked for siracha sauce on mine they left it off completely. Please Bibbibop, fix your menu problem and even if you don’t want to list the signature bowls on your menu, give your employees instructions and guidance on how to still MAKE the signature bowls!

Lawrence Potts

Lunch after a great morning hike. I had the Belfast Bistro Steak sandwich with fries. It was messy and delicious. Great variety of beer on tap. Great gluten free options too.

Kate Wackerle

Thank you for being a safe option. As someone who cannot have gluten and has to be vigilant about cross contamination, I appreciate that you all take it seriously and are one of only a couple places that are safe to eat in Frederick. It is such a treat to get takeout and enjoy a meal I did not cook. Thank you.

Sadie Marks

Mindpub is home away from home. The food is amazing (especially the gluten free which honestly is so good, it’s hard to find gluten free in Federal hill that isn’t insanely expensive for no reason) the staff are great and know a lot - especially when asking for different recommendations. Coffee is locally roasted down the street! If I moved away - I would ALWAYS make sure to come here first when I visit

Hillary Blaney

I am so excited to have found this place! My youngest daughter is diagnosed Celiac Disease and so cannot have even the slightest bit of cross contamination in her food or she'll be sick. On Christmas Eve I called to see if they had a dedicated gluten free fryer (my girl loves fries!). I was told no but the man, Jason, who turned out to be the GM, encouraged us to go anyway because they have such an extensive gluten free menu. I'm glad we gave it a try! When I arrived Jason told me he decided to make a gluten free dedicated fryer in his kitchen and had already started it up to be ready for my daughter's fries! On top of that, the staff were all lovely and the food was *amazing*! Jason, if you see this, thank you again! It's rough for a 13 yr old with Celiac Disease; your kindness made a difference! We will be back!!

Jennifer Strohm

Loved this casual vibe next to the harbor. Great gluten-free food.

Danielle Wagner

Best gluten free option in Westfield mall. Sometimes I'll go here just to grab this delicious all gluten free Korean food. The mall food court is always very crowded so can be here to find seating and quite loud.

Danielle Wagner

Great gluten free crepes! Can make any savory or sweet gluten free except chicken teriyaki and beef.

Kevin Adams

We were sat at an after thought of a corner table. Got bumped into my patrons every minute. The fan was on max and blew away my menu. Service was poor and several parts of our order were incorrect. At least the Celiac member of our family didn't get sick. Please get rid of the corner tables by the main bar inside.

Victoria Novak

Read that they have gluten free items and I called and the lady literally hung up on me after saying they have nothing for me… very rude.

Amanda Holk

Mushroom risotto was amazing. They really understand celiac if you need gf.

Steve Olender

Amazing. Must go. Gluten-free friendly, fresh tortillas made in house with imported Mexican corn. Flights of Mezcal. Excellent tacos. Astounding tamales. Just get there!

Megan Huff

Hot and fresh gluten-free donuts! Not sure about cross-contamination but you can choose any of the flavor combos they offer for the donuts. One donut is the perfect size for a little treat!

Mary Sanphilipo

Nice gluten-free menu

Allison Kaplan (Celiac)

They have gluten free pizza that they can make on a separate pan to avoid cross contamination and a dedicated fryer for delicious fried brussel sprouts!

Erin V

Great service! And amazing food. Delicious masa calamari, curried mussels, and creme brulee with chocolate ganache on the bottom. Gluten free friendly.

Rachel Cobbs

The sickest out celiac family has ever been. Has come from this place. We got the chicken enchiladas and the gf mac and cheese. I even confirmed the noodles were boiled in their own water, clearly they were not when we discovered another noodle from another dish with the food.

Dylan

I think most people know Mission BBQ is great, but the staff at this location was exceptionally nice. I have a gluten allergy, so unfortunately I can’t get the cornbread here, and my food did come out with cornbread on it. But the staff was super friendly and replaced the whole meal for me, brought me out new fries and meat, and even let me pack up the old food to take home for my girlfriend. Mistakes happen, trust me I understand, and everyone was super accommodating and make me feel seen. Whoever was working on 5/17/25, you’re all awesome!

Sandy LePree

It's so exciting as a gluten free person to have all the choices available at Glory Days! Both times we were there the food was great and so was the service. And great prices!

Christopher Bedrossian

Food was amazing, had the bison burger, highly recommend. Prices were aligned well, service was fantastic (servers name I believe was Dan). Drinks were on point and the ambiance was classy but not pretentious. They also accommodate gluten free eaters really well. Looking forward to coming back. ONLY knock was the fries, think they could have been a littler more crispy but hey thats my opinion.

Victoria Patterson

Friendly trained staff, dedicated fryer, and many delicious gluten free options such as fried chicken.

Julie Smith

I’ve loved Thrashers since I was a kid. So glad I can still enjoy the fries now that I’m Celiac. 😋

Lacy Grimmett

They are always so super friendly and amazingly accommodating with my gluten allergy, it is one of the few places I feel safe eating and not risk cross contamination. Food is always amazing too!!

Jen Reilly

Ordered takeout: burgers for 3 people and crab dip appetizer. The server didn't check that all items were added to my bag. The crab dip hadn't been added. Fortunately, I checked before leaving. The server quickly and politely retrieved the crab dip. The burgers were VERY good. Choice of healthy sides was very much appreciated! I got steamed broccoli that was good. Gluten-free bun on my burger was great! All-in-all, and very positive experience.

Francois Ruel

Great options for celiac/gluten-free

H Greenyjeans

Mission BBQ is always great. Great food, great service. They're also really good about their gluten free options.

Brittney Borrero

Caters to my gluten free needs. Always a nice experience. Been going here for years with my husband. Definitely recommend

Chrissy Stegman

Easy vibe, decent beers, friendly service. Kid-friendly, dog-friendly environment. They are compassionate about food allergies and feature gluten-free options and areas to signal on your food order if you have other dietary restrictions. Some vegetarian options, too.

Victoria Davidson

Love the environment. Gluten free menu options, excellent margaritas and knowledgeable staff (in regards to gluten free options). Only downfall is the prices of the drinks...I would have drank more had they been more affordable. Definitely would return though.

Tara Mease

love the food so much- great gluten free feast!
