Top 23 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in Schaumburg

Katie Rylko

I've been wanting to try this place for some time and finally made it! I have to eat gluten free not by choice. This is literally the first place I've ever been to where I can eat everything on the menu! Never had this option before this is awesome now I just wish there were more locations this one is 30 minutes away and not in a direction I typically go. I ate here with my 10-year-old and 12 year old. We each got a bowl. The lemon turmeric rice did not disappoint. One of my kids tried the glass noodles they were very good and fun. My kids did not try any of the sauces they thought overall there was a slight spiciness to the dish without adding anything extra. I tried the teriyaki it was good. Oh and don't forget the free miso soup, lovely bonus. The broth is excellent.

My experience was great for the most part. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable; the atmosphere was lively and fun; the bathrooms were clean; and the food and cocktails were fantastic. I chose Wildfire because our friend has Celiac, so I wanted her to have gluten-free options. She was pleasantly surprised that their gluten-free menu was so long. She said she was used to only having a few choices. The server also offered her gluten-free bread. So if you or someone you know has Celiac disease, this restaurant is a great choice. Just about everything took longer to make it to our table than most restaurants I’ve been to within the last few years. It wasn’t a horrible wait, but it was noticeable. Because of this, our server wasn’t around much. There were several times when I wanted to ask our server about another appetizer or another drink, but she never came by. That’s the only reason I took off one star—that, and the sneaky 3% they add to the check to offset costs. Yes, you can ask them to remove it, but it’s not like this restaurant is super cheap anyway. Why not add the 3% to the food in general if you’re struggling as a business? Regardless, I would definitely return.

We had supper for 6 of us and Erika was our waitress on Friday the 14th at 730pm .this was at stromburg mall I don't have receipt so want to make sure correct store gets the review.she was very professional but extremely friendly. I have celiac and she made sure my meal was OK and had the steak cooked exactly like I wanted no seasonings just butter keeps away seasoning I can't have.she was on top of making sure we had a great experience. We highly recommend your restaurant.we took cheesecake home to full to eat then. they were awesome delicious 😋 I just hope Erika gets credit for amazing service when cheesecake factory responded nothing was said about her .she made our dining experience so much better she made sure we had everything we needed kept drinks full checked on us a lot please make sure she gets recognized for being an outstanding employee.

very reassuring and no celiac issues issues, could tell the pizza was gluten free (a little tough)but it still tasted pretty good.

Noah Rider

Excellent service from Alexis! We ate at the bar and couldn’t have had a better time. My fiancé is gluten free due to celiacs disease and was able to eat the Pollo Chipotle and chips & salsa. I ordered the quesabirria tacos and they were delicious. Best Mexican food in the Chicago suburbs by far! We also love Alejandro!

Heidi Kirkman

Caitlan is a fantastic server! Very attentive. Food was great as always. We appreciate the attention to providing gluten-free options.

Steve Morris

I wish I could remember the name of our waiter, he was freaking awesome! The food was great! And the portions were huge! My daughter has a gluten restriction, and we had to double check to make sure that she got the gluten free pancakes because we seriously couldn't tell the difference! Very tasty! We'll definitely be back!

This review is strictly based on their Happy Hour special Sip and Flatbread. Priced at only 14.99 you get your choice of a Sip..wine or selected craft cocktails and your choice of one of their flatbreads. Gluten free crust only 2.00 more Made a reservation for the bar for 500pm and we were seating immediately. Happy Hour is Mon-Fri 3-6pm. We were greated by our server Susan who was amazing. We each started with a glass of red wine and each ordered a flatbread. We were not rushed at all which was very nice. My wife had the gluten free Pesto Chicken and Mozzarella flatbread that was loaded with flavor. Cipollini onions,roasted red peppers and arugula. I had one of their Winter flatbreads.. Chipotle BBQ Shrimp with grilled pineapple,feta cheese and grilled poblano peppers. Very tasty even tho I didn't taste a lot of pineapple. For dessert they have mini shot glasses of various desserts. I had the Pecan Pie with a Vanilla Bean Mousse. Absolutely delicious Their menu changes with the seasons so we can't wait to go back for their Spring menu.

Emma Janzen

This restaurant was great! They had a fair number of gluten free options for someone with Celiac. The service was also amazing. We were greeted, seated immediately at 11am on a Sunday, our server was phenomenal, and we were checked on repeatedly. If we lived in the area, we would be regulars!

Chris Lesik

First time guests here , Zach made sure we were very welcomed . He explained everything in detail , he made the kids food requests happen with ease , and walked us through the menu to accommodate a gluten allergy . A+++++ will definitely be back ! Great experience all around .

Jeanne Weber

Lovely place for our out of town visit with family. The food delicious, the service excellent, everyone pleased! What more could you ask for? Ah, yes, and gluten free! Marvelous.

Allie Hendrickson

Our server Hayley was amazing in letting us know that the menu is very gluten free friendly. We did order the big shareable appetizer and we were able to order the calamari grilled and on a separate plate from the rest of the fried potions. We definitely will be coming again.

Jess

Hands down my go to for ordering in.. especially with all the gluten free options. Obsessed with your food!!!!!

Can't knock them. I typically do not like these types of concepts, to make your own bowl or whatnot, but hat being said, meats are juicy and flavorful. The selection of toppings was fresh, and sauces plenty. Their gluten free pita has changed since it was more rice-based. It is now an excellent gf pita and one I would definitely question if served to me without knowing. I also like their teas and the ability to mix.

Carly Arrigoni

Such a fun place! Delicious drinks! And separate, yummy gluten free menu!

Kirsten Yates-Konzen

City Works is the perfect spot for our get together lunch with long-time friends. Easy reservation for our group of 7. Great atmosphere to visit. The food and service was PHENOMENAL! We all ordered something different and every single one of us loved our meal! Tyler, our server, took the very best care of us including special orders for dietary restrictions. (I need to eat gluten and dairy free. Tyler even made sure that my food was prepped separately.) We have made City Works our spot to meet up!

Ronald Soria

Good pizza and chill vibes. Would definitely come again! Had dinner here and enjoyed the pizza (tried both their regular and gluten free options) and a beer. Service was fast and friendly.

Chuck E Cheese

Usually can trust MOD Pizza! Last time I had them I had a Severe reaction to their food! (I am Highly allergic to Gluten & Dairy) If you have a severe allergy to Gluten or Dairy, I do not recommend eating there. Cross-contamination is all but inevitable with how they put everyone's Pizza's in the same oven.

Nadine Soro

I had an amazing experience at Mezé Mediterráneo! I tried their gluten-free lamb flatbread, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, tender lamb with a great balance of flavors. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right. The live music added a wonderful touch to the atmosphere, making the evening even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for great Mediterranean food with a welcoming ambiance, this place is a must-visit! I’ll definitely be back.

Jamie Lopez

The food and the sangria all tasted great. The pizza was hot, fresh and delicious. The gluten free pasta was okay, needed more seasoning but was hot and fresh. Unfortunately our server was busy and took almost 30 minutes to get our check. They need to work on the gluten free pasta and service before it's ready for a five star review.

JD McNelis

The food is always really good. I'm gluten free and they have lots of options.

Ed M

Our server Anthony was terrific! We ate at Schaumburg on Feb 19. I have celiac and he helped me select a meal and was very thoughtful. He was very attentive and personable as well! We can’t wait to return!

Tom Kwiatkowski

Good food with gluten free pasta but not safe for celiac wish they had gluten free bread and gluten free rice crispy treats, bring back the stroganoff

Angela Swan

Skip the soup but go for the rest! Interesting, enticing menu. I had a 4:00 dinner on the patio after a long flight. Jules, my server, was very pleasant and attentive and the patio ambiance was picture perfect. The pasta fagioli soup was kind of a creamy mess of al dente noodles but the gluten free salmon plate was super flavorful, perfectly prepared and the sides of broccolini and creamy cauliflower were very tasty. Capped it off with perfect little cannolis to go! Update: Returned the next evening for a late dinner. Had the eggplant caprese. Delicious!! Thick cutlets of breaded eggplant with fresh basil and fresh mozzarella with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction. Would definitely return for that!

Gene Frakes

I visited again today 08/25/2023 and the food is still totally awesome as always!! Check out the new photos. The average price was roughly $10-$15 per person and now it's more like $15-$20 per person. Still worth every penny ❤ but I don't have very many pennies left :( Five Guys Burgers and Fries are always a dependable and predictable place to eat! My wife has gluten allergies so she loves the lettuce wrapped burgers. The 🍟 are fresh cut daily and cooked in 🥜 oil!!! Free peanuts!!! The price is, as always, slightly high but it's so worth it. It's not Fast Food but it's sure is fast!! Just wait for them to yell out your patty quantity!!

Claire Naoma Klaisner

Food is pretty good and serving sizes are generally generous. Being Muslim, I also appreciate that the meat is all halal certified. I also have celiac disease and they have lots of labeled gluten free options . Only downside is that it’s little pricey and the mall is very busy so it’s not really nice to sit down for a meal since it can get so loud and bushy

Sportsquid

Overall an absolutely amazing experience I would recommend eveyone try at least once, especially those with a gluten allergy. I have celiac disease but this place is by far the most accommodating I have ever been to. Everything on the menu is clearly labeled and explained how it can be made gluten free. Even the drinks are labeled as gluten free. They truly went above and beyond. My girlfriend who is not celiac had no issues sharing the gluten free dippers I required. She was impressed by the gluten free snickerdoodles for the dessert fondue. There are only two reasons I am giving this palce 4 stars instead of 5. They were unfortunately out of gluten free bread for the cheese fondue at the time. Also, we ordered a drink that was supposed to be smoking with dry ice but it was not.

Therese R

Love that they have gluten free options.

Christina Caravello

Honestly everything is amazing, the chicken, the fries and sauces and the little balls of goodness.... ugh so yummyyyy and all is allergy friendly I believe all is gluten free and a lot is dairy free and lots of dairy free sauces

Denise Huber

Anthony Lanzi

The wait staff was very friendly. However, there was a significant wait to get the meats delivered to the table. Some of the meat was just “ok”, while others were amazing! Salad bar was pretty good. Limited gluten free options because it was included in things you wouldn’t think (Ranch?).

Carol Tukker

The meal was delicious. I have celiac disease and was able to find delicious items to eat. The waitress (Nicki) was very kind, helpful and attentive to serving us and checking items with the chef.

Debbie Czepizak

I came on Pi day for their 3.14 special. They were prepared for the surge in business. While the line was long, it moved quickly and efficiently. I asked for gluten free crust, and they were so kind about changing gloves to avoid cross contamination, even though I don't have a true allergy. I thought it showed good training on their parts to be sensitive to various dietary needs. Thank you, Blaze Pizza, for working quickly and efficiently on a busy day!

Marcos Ruiz

Gluten free pizza is excelent.

Brittany Moldenhauer

It’s so hard to find places to eat out when you are gluten, dairy, egg, soy and peanut free. But this place is DELICIOUS and fits all my dietary restrictions. It’s a very clean environment. The bowls we created ourselves were full of fresh produce and fish. ai couldn’t have any of the sauces because they include soy but i loaded up on avocado and it was so filling and delish. I do with they had a bit of plain wasabi instead of just the wasabi cream, but oh well!

Yesenia Sanchez

The Sandwiches are delicious and I love the Fact that they offer Gluten free bread which not many places do. I can't do gluten so this place is a 5 star and more to me.

Monika Baclawska

I'm gluten sensitive and twice now i have ordered grilled nuggets though the drive thru and gotten the regular crispy nuggets. As well as the wrong sauce. I would just suggest checking your order before you drive home.

Tamika Edwards

Sindhu Konkapaka

Messed up our order, did not label any wrappers, was not respectful of the fact that we requested Gluten-Free because of allergy and we were not sure if the one we got was actually GF. We asked them to make another one and there was some push back/refusal to admit mistake.

Robyn Michelle

Absolutely love they accommodate my gluten restrictions. Food is always delicious and the dinner and a show is worth it!

Katrina Marie N-A

One of the nicest and cleanest Shake Shack locations in the Chicagoland area, in my opinion. Nice outdoor patio area too with table tennis and fooseball. Couldn't really tell if heated or not. Speedy service and friendly staff and manager serving one of my favorite burgers. Customization kept at minimum. Haven't had their desserts in ages but will need to save room for that next time. Pictured here is their special/limited time Korean BBQ Burger (no cheese, gluten free bun, +cherry peppers), Korean Style Fried Chicken, and Spicy Korean BBQ Cheese Fries (a must!). All one-of-a-kind and worth a try! Korean sesame, soy, umami sauce goes with everything.

Jeff Myrom

Bacon avocado burger and the grilled Brussel sprouts were excellent. Both are gluten-free free with the bun substituted. Enjoy!

Angela Cupeles

After trying unsuccessfully to find an entrance we realized that it was a hotel entrance. The waitress was excellent, she understood that my friend hadn't eaten in 24 hours and brought her coffee immediately along with our food in less than 10 minutes. The gluten free waffle was fantastic, the egg white scramble was hot and tasty. My friend inhaled her large breakfast platter and finally her face was pink. An excellent breakfast. I would go there again. If you don't like children playing near you don't dine here, it doesn't bother me. Everybody needs to eat.

Michelle Hunt

Just went through and I mis ordered my food. Went back and explained I forgot to mention gluten free and they remade my order no charge even though I am like 99% sure I forgot and apologized, NICEST STAFF EVER

Jules S. Ro (Jules)

El Mero mero serves up some authentic dishes, and I'll be sure to return as they are a gluten friendly establishment. I started with some Sopa Azteca to warm up on quite a chilly Schaumburg evening. The broth was warm with a hint of hot spice, and a little on the salty side to really enjoy. Taco Tuesday specials we enjoyed were the chicken and carne asada tacos. The tortillas were warm and soft, but the chicken was a tad on the dry side for my liking. The carne asada was also a little salty and dry as well. Overall, the meal packed your typical Latin flavors however, were a bit overpowered by the salt. Being a chilly evening, it seemed the two dining area rooms were a bit too cold to get comfortable. Pricing per person on a day with specials was around $12/pp. Bathrooms and all dining areas were very clean and sanitized.

Kelly Holt

This restaurant always delivers great customer service and great food. They provide gluten free pancakes which I appreciate.

Lynne Arrigoni

Love this place! Gluten free menu, including a gluten free bun for cheeseburgers and fries not from a shared fryer!! Great prices. Always good service and always an open table without waiting.

Caitlin Body

It is a Culver's. Good service and our food was out fast. I got a gluten free meal and always happy about how it tastes!
