Top 4 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in Old Town West, Fort Collins

Kimberly Ippolito Leonard

Safe for celiacs! They have separate prep areas for their gluten and GF foods, dedicated pans, and make everything from scratch. They have a shared fryer, but serve corn tortilla chips that are made off site in a GF facility.

One of my favorite spots for gluten free burgers and fries. Their hot dogs are delicious too!

Ordered 2 Gluten Free Woodland Pizzas and one with Vegan cheese - 2 BeetJuice drinks at 3 in the afternoon - costs with tip $86. Way cheaper at Crazy Karl's for gluten free/dairy free and a much larger pizza. It was tasty but way overpriced. Cloth napkins don't match how the restaurant is rundown with the floor upheavaling, the curtains sun faded and one burned, the floor dirty, Christmas decor up in mid February.

Many items on their menu are labeled gluten free but are not gluten free. Items are in a shared fryer with gluten. For some people this matters a whole lot, for others not at all, but it is misleading. This is like calling Brussels sprouts cooked in bacon grease vegetarian.

One of the best restaurants in town! Especially for gluten free friendly options. The service really stands out here- all the staff is so accommodating and friendly. Tonight I had a situation where they ran out of an essential element in the meal I ordered. Our server, James, and the owner Heidi were extremely sweet and went above and beyond to make sure I still had a pleasant experience. Thank you!!

My husband and I had dinner here and it was outstanding from start to finish. Our waiter, Jeffrey, did an amazing job making recommendations for us. We started with the Calamari. It was outstanding. I have Celiac Disease, so being able to get gluten free Calamari was a real treat. The tangy sauce on the Calamari put it over the top delicious for us. We also shared a wedge salad, which was on point! We had the Filet Mignon with Scallops and took Jeffrey's suggestion to swap the side dish for an order of the GF Carbonara (for an additional charge). It was AMAZING. I loved it so much I was wishing I had room to order a 2nd dish of Carbonara. We finished it all out with the Chocolate Hazelnut Torte. It was just as amazing as everything else. Next time we're in Fort Collins, Rare will be a must stop location for us.

Incredibly delicious! I’d eat here everyday if I could. Clean atmosphere, great service, and the food is heavenly! Gluten free naan, I’m hungry and need more now!

Let em start by saying the food is incredible and you should eat here. BUT I had the worst experience with the blonde girl taking orders tonight 3:39 pm 6/7. She didn’t know anything about the menu and took forever to take the order. I asked her if the side on tap was gluten free and she said “I have no idea do you want to try it?” I know she meant well but come on, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of needing to know if it’s gluten free? I bet you it took me 10+ minutes to order a burger while she was looking for the buttons on the register. Maybe she’s new or something but I almost considering not ordering and going somewhere else. This poor girl needs some more training before you put her out there alone. I haven’t got my order yet, I’ll update the review of it’s wrong lol

Great food Allen allergy friendly! I’m vegan and gluten free and they made a delicious plate of enchiladas to die for!

5 stars – Great Gluten-Free Options, Flavorful Food, and Excellent Service! We had a fantastic experience at Austin’s American Grill! They’re incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to gluten-free dining, with plenty of safe options and careful protocols in place to avoid cross-contamination—which gave us total peace of mind. The food was cooked to perfection and full of rich, satisfying flavor. Their mixed drinks were also excellent, and the staff’s wine pairing suggestions were spot-on. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and well-informed. Pro tip: Skip the stress of hunting for a street spot and head straight to the Laporte parking garage. It’s just a short walk away and much easier, especially since street parking is time-limited before 6 PM. If you’re looking for a delicious, safe gluten-free dining experience with great drinks and even better service, Austin’s delivers on every level!

Excellent food! They do take gluten-free seriously, wiping down equipment before preparing a gf meal. The sandwiches are delicious. I highly recommend this place if you have any sort of food allergy.

I would have gave 5 star, but a couple things bothered me. I have celiac disease, so gluten is a no-no for me. I was meeting 5 friends at 6 pm the other night, and I make it a point to ALWAYS check the online menu ahead, to see if there is anything for me gluten free. The menu stated the steaks were GF, one chicken dish, and a few appetizers. Our group talked about ordering some burgers, but there was no mention of GF burger buns on the online menu. So, I tried to call, but they don't man their phones there. I then sent an email about my concerns, and did not hear back before my 6 pm reservation. I always have to decide ahead, whether to eat at home, and meet up with friends on a full stomach, or eat at a restaurant knowing ahead that they have a GF meal that I would order. When I arrived at the place, I was told that they have GF burger buns available, so I was able to enjoy a delicious Colorado burger. It is very annoying to me, and us folks with celiac when restaurants do not have accurate online menus. We really depend on them, as we are trying to make decisions on whether or not we can eat at restaurants. It would be very helpful if you would state that you have GF buns available for your burgers. Thank you.

Japango is everything Fort Collins needed. For years I’ve heard the same universal complaint that we needed good sushi. Japango is great sushi. I love that the rolls aren’t overdone and over sauced. The rolls also have thoughtful ingredients - one of my favorite rolls has orange zest and sake butter on top for example. You can really tell that the sushi chefs take pride in their rolls and everything always comes out beautifully plated. They also carry a new feature list each week that offer special cuts like Kanpachi, Otoro, Aji as an example. There’s a huge list of yummy hot items like gyozas, lobster potstickers, pork belly and chicken teriyaki to name a just a few. The aesthetics of Japango are also stunning. There’s a live jelly fish tank and a private glass room for larger parties. I love the details in all the glassware, the plates and how the building always feels cozy, open, airy. Lastly the bar is impressive. Each cocktail provided is so special and curated perfectly. They have a huge Japanese whiskey collection and a very impressive lineup of cold sakes and non-alcoholic beverages. They also offer a huge list of hot teas and Japanese beers. I don’t know anywhere in Fort Collins that provides this kind of beverage menu that benefits everyone in this fashion. Japango has a kids menu, provides options for those who are celiac and gluten free, vegetarians and vegans. If you’re looking for an experience it’s right here - quality always takes time and any wait is always worth it.

The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice, thus the two stars, but that’s where the positives end. Minimal gluten free options. Our food was cold and very bland. Staff was smoking near the back door and that was unappetizing. Will not be back.

This is the best Thai food in Fort Collins. They also have great gluten free options and clearly outline GF dishes. It's a must for dine in and take out.

I went to the Fort Collins Hu Hot the other night with some friends and had a great experience. I was a bit concerned going there because I am mostly gluten free but the staff was really helpful with my experience. I had am employee named Juliet go back and grab me some rice noodles from the back fridge because I was concerned with cross contamination. She walk through the line with me and pointed out stuff that was gluten free, she was very helpful! I would definitely go back, even with my allergy, because the staff was so great :)

Andrew Melton

Great place for a quick weekend meal. They also have gluten-free pancakes and toast! The outdoor seating area is beautiful
