Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Dedicated Fryers to Relish in Ohio

Rebecca Duke

Absolutely fell in love with this place!! We were traveling and looking for a safe place to eat with celiac/severe gluten allergy as well as dairy free. The fact that Portia’s entire menu is gluten free and vegan was AMAZING so everything was completely safe!! We drank the mushroom lattes and split the breakfast burrito bowl and a waffle - the food was out of this world. Everyone on staff was so kind and in a great mood, and the space is cozy and colorful. Will definitely back if we find ourselves in Columbus again!

Gluten free haven! Delicious comfort food. It is so hard to find fried gluten free food at other places because of cross contamination in the fryer, but here everything is safe for celiac! The empanadas and apple fritters were amazing!

Rachel Baker

Everything is gluten-free, and the food was delicious! Will be back!

I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

Excellent burgers! Great option for celiacs, staff is very knowledgeable. Gluten eating dad says if all GF was that good he would never eat gluten again 🤣

Alliyah McClendon

Absolutely loved this place! If you live around the area or happen to be in town this bakery is definitely a go to! I am 100% gluten free with celiac and when I tell you this is the best tasting baked goods I’ve had since I started my journey! I got the cinnamon rollup, beignet donuts, donut holes, muffin (berries), and quiche! Donuts were my fav! It is a little bit pricey but if you’re celiac you already know the drill! Definitely worth it especially when you get a little bit of everything!

Stacey Preston

Great food and a good sized gluten free menu.

I want to love Town Hall, as someone who has food allergies (gluten, dairy, & soy), but the last 2 times my order was made wrong. Both times they contained one of my allergies - the first time a burger came with cheese and the second time I was given the keto bun instead of the gluten free bun which contains dairy. The first time it was refunded since I was already home. The second time I was close by when I realized and they made it again. Food allergies are nothing to mess with though and to advertise as accommodating but consistently make food wrong is very frustrating. There’s clearly a lack of knowledge from staff or protocols are lacking.

First time here. It was highly rated on my wife’s gluten-free app. Amazing service, amazing food, amazing atmosphere.

Went for a family dinner this past Saturday. Service was great. We made reservations and we were sat immediately even tho it was packed. Our waitress was awesome. I have Celiac disease and felt totally comfortable and safe eating there and having to be gluten free. I want to give 5 stars instead of 4 but I just can’t because of the food. It really just wasn’t very good. I got a vegetable and rice dish with chicken that was lacking flavor majorly. Our appetizer was the “spicy” pimento dip that was hard and not spicy. It just didn’t fair well. My mom got shrimp pasta and said it was underwhelming. Daughter got chicken fingers and said the same thing . I’m going to go back and try again, maybe it’ll be better next time. I really want to like it since the rest of the experience was so good.

Heather Barker

My daughter with celiac eats here every time we are in Columbus. Best breakfast options.

Tini Mueller

One of the best gluten free places I have ever been. The wait staff is so knowledgeable when it comes to gluten free, the menu is so inclusive. I love it here so much! OH and the GLUTEN FREE chicken tenders… so good!!

lydia gokey

Joe was my server and he was awesome! It’s always been hard eating out while having celiac and he took my allergy into heavy consideration

Dustin Greiner

Fantastic gluten free food, everything on the menu is gluten free or can be including the mac and cheese and onion rings. Service was excellent.

Hillary Nelson

10/10 recommend. As mentioned everything except the buns and some beer is gluten free but even better they take cross contact super seriously and keep those items separate from all others. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and really reassured me. My only problem was I only went once while visiting. Can’t recommend enough! Felt safe as a celiac eating here and most of my party had no idea it was all GF.

Bruce Griffin

Delicious. Great food and better service. Very gentrified hipster vibe. The majority of the menu is or can be made gluten free.

Alice Schafrath

Great food, great service. And they have gluten free items.

Gabe O.

Very good traditional American diner. The food was delicious and their service is great. They have a gluten free menu available on request.

Dalila Di Rienzo

Ciambelle di tutti i tipi! Opzioni senza glutine e vegane 🌱 hanno anche il caffè!

Jenna

Best gluten free breakfast. Mango Bacon Goat - amazing. We will definitely be back!!

Christopher Martinez

I have celiac disease and need to be careful with gluten and cross contamination. Red Robin offers gluten free options and dedicated fryers which is usually great. This location has unfortunately glutened me twice within the past year, first with including breaded jalapeno coins in my burger, and then with giving me a normal gluten bun instead of a gluten free bun. If you have any allergies, be careful with this location.

Jen Pfleghaar

Large gluten free menu. It’s all marked. Meat is from a local farm Canal Junctions. The homemade salsa is amazing and fresh. Can’t beat this quality!

Trudy Crawford

The food was very good and they modified my order to be gluten and dairy free. I got the balsamic chicken and succotash and it was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if you have food allergies

Dustin Greiner

A wide variety of gluten free options, the food was delicious and it’s attached to a cool book store you can check out while you wait because like all good places, it’s busy.

Maddy Wilm

This is my new favorite restaurant. Essentially everything on their menu is gluten free and so delicious even my nongluten free friends love it & cannot tell a difference. The food is an absolute 1000/10 BUT the service is incredible!! Megan & Eddie were SO personable, and they make us want to make this our regular spot! I can’t say enough positive things about this place! It’s a must try ESPECIALLY if you are gluten free!

Staci Lee

Gluten free and yummy

Sarah Balaban

Celiac safe! They are very knowledgable and sensitive to gluten allergies.

Joe Andre

Transcendental empanadas, arepas bursting with fresh fillings, frosty beverages, and a little shop where you can scarf up South American comfort foods and ingredients. The Arepa Place is amazing. My first bite into the chicken empanada sent me on a long journey to a far away planet named Delicious Prime. I landed, mid chew, in a great battle of shredded chicken, buttery flaky fried crust, and an assortment of salsas. There was purple smoke, the screaming of my teeth, and a salty wave of energy that made me urinate my pants. Moments later my wife and daughter shook me awake and I found myself on the floor moaning like a cow in heat. "Are you okay?" they asked, frantically. My response, "more arepas. And some of that aguapanela." The EMT team, curious, ordered some as well. Then, with my EMT team, I transcended back into the fever dream of flavor. Dedicated gluten free. Cute wall decor.

Brent Hammer

Excellent service, warm ambiance & delicious lemon ricotta pancakes, cheeseburger, gf chicken nugget Thai bowl & espresso martini! They were quick to acknowledge my wife’s celiac. We will be back!

Wendy Batdorf

I eat gluten free cuz it causes bad headaches and my body hurts like I have the flu & it causes belly issues for my daughter. I was in Columbus to meet a friend and googled gluten free bakery and this placed popped up. The staff member was very nice and helpful, explaining what was gluten free and preparation. I ordered 1/2 dozen donuts with various toppings. I got to my daughter's to share and on 1st bite our eyes grew wide and we both said "they aren't dense! They are light & airy!" They were sooo delicious!!! They are pricey (but what gluten free items isn't??!!!) but worth it to be eating a gf donut that tastes like a regular one. I highly recommend. I would not recommend for celiac because they do make "regular" flour donuts. We will be back!!!

Victor Segarra

It was my first time visiting this restaurant and the experience was very good. I was lucky that the waitress spoke Spanish. If you don't eat gluten it's a good place to come because the sauces are gluten-free and they have gluten-free bread. I hadn't had a sandwich in a restaurant for years. The food was exquisite. I tried the Big Pig Sandwich and the fries. When I return to Cleveland I definitely have to go back.

Abby Ham

Good place! I'm not super adventurous so my meal wasn't anything great (my fault 100%). But the menus list what's Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, and what has dairy, which was great because we had three people who fell into one of those categories.

Zoë Slade

Always a good choice. Food is flavorful and filling. I love that it's a gluten free chain. I have celiac and am deeply grateful to know that I can always get a great meal at this chain.

Reagen Powers

Great gluten free options. Dedicated fryer.

Jace Brooks

Delicious gluten free Asian food with a wide variety of choices. I also appreciate that Health-Ade Kombucha is available in 11.5 FL OZ cans. Fast and friendly service. Clean establishment.

Chad D. Baus

The food is great, and the fact that everyone is super celiac-friendly and well-versed in avoiding cross-contamination means we will be back!

Andrew Pitonyak

Staff is always great / helpful... A few changes to note. Tea is no longer free with your meal. $1.50 so reasonable. The soda machine is $3. Touch screen to place your order. Be careful, there is a 3 piece wings and a 5 piece wings meal. Be sure to order the right one. You can refill your own drinks. They have french fries, spicy ketchup and spicy ranch. They have also added chicken tenders. Now back to your regularly scheduled review. I had a perfect chicken wing today... One of the few places I can get spicy food. Wings holy with mac and beans is my go-to. If you want it super spicy, ask for unholy, That's where the real spice is. There are tables set up inside and, when it is warm, tables set up outside. Every Tuesday the entire family comes so they can get their gluten-free chicken. I also really like the environment. The people seem to get along really well together and are kind to their customers. They have high chairs if you need them and they also just got these cute caution signs that look like bananas. They really compliment their banana pudding. The mac and cheese has changed yet again, very much for the better. I really enjoyed my mac and cheese, as well as my beans. They even have a Mac and cheese with nuggets dish. If you want a vegan option they have Nuggs, which is a plant-based alternative to chicken. I've never tried a nugg. They have added salads They have a Coke machine now so you can have Coke products or sweet tea. The sweet tea is half the price of the coke.

first time ordering, all photos show noodles to have carrots, kale & flavor... clearly they just threw cooked noodles into my bowl, and my bowl was mostly noodles, barely anything else. I had rice for base as well and barely any in it. food was cold when i picked up, I arrived 10 min prior to stated pick up time, [out of 20 min wait] & food was older nagged and sitting there, I could tell it was made minutes after ordering with 0 update that it was ready: the drinks had melted ice and lots of condensation - those dont lie on how long it sat. pretty disappointed for a first time order - went here given the gf status for us celiac. bummer.

Shirley Handley

First time. Very fresh food. Great variety. Validated gluten free safe spot. Better than a burger and frues for sure.

Lori M

We come here pretty regularly and consistently have good service (Anne is great!) and they correctly accommodate making tacos dairy free and/or gluten free. The tacos are great...definitely recommend trying Lucy's Fire. The music can be a little loud sometimes but it's usually good.

Waitress Mel is 12/10. She was friendly, outgoing, helpful, knowledgeable, outgoing, soft spoken, and downright nice! Best waitress we have EVER had! The food was amazing. Tons of gluten free options and GF buns. Large portions. Beer is great. Multiple selections on beer, drinks, and food. Fast service. 1st time here and will definitely be back

Alaska Williams

Great food, fast service and such a polite crew! MJ served my mother and I and went above and beyond to please us! Great place to have a healthy gluten free dinner! Will return!

Judi Pershing

Excellent Celiac restaurant

Dwight Johnston

We love the chain as a safe stop for those who are medically required to be gluten free. This location is and easy couple minutes,off the interstate when on.a trip in that direction.

Ali Rode

This is the brunch spot. They handle allergies well. The vibe is everybody which is great. All kinds of folks gather here. Everyone is welcome. They use dedicated kitchen area for gluten free items. The pancakes are unbelievably good. This place is worth coming out of your way for. I would have given the food 4 stars if the cold brew was reasonable. We left with drinks to go in they were in kid sized cups and it seems like the "cold brew" was coffee with ice. It was better last time. Not worth purchasing this time. Don't get drinks to go.

Kristie Rolfsen

We love this place! Something for everyone including my son who has celiac disease.

daisy

very clean restaurant to get a quick, healthy bite to eat. this place is great for me because i’m gluten free and everything here is gluten free! will definitely be coming back here and the ingredients are always fresh and delicious. they definitely don’t skimp on the amount either

Kaila Ryan

I love this place and love that everything is gluten free!

Laura Brogden

Katie P was fantastic! She was kind and attentive for our whole meal. I have gluten and dairy allergies and she had the manager prepare everything to make sure it was safe!

oscar morataya

All gluten free
