Top 14 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Downtown Winston-Salem

Burger was just adequate. Tomato was underripe. Bun was dry. Service/ friendliness was absent. They don’t ask for tips that may be why. Fries were good. I had a gluten allergic reaction after 30 minutes even though it’s reportedly a dedicated frier. Parking in the area is a nightmare… we wouldn’t come back.

I recently was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and have to eat gluten free. The gluten free pizza here is incredible! I have been going to mellow mushroom since way before I got diagnosed and their food has always been amazing. I was just not expecting their gluten free menu to be equally as good! Love it!

Wow! This restaurant is amazing! Lots of vegetarian/vegan/gluten free options! I ordered green curry with tofu. Best I've had! The environment is inviting, and the staff was friendly and extremely attentive!

Went for a Sunday Bloody Mary. As also was greeted as soon as we entered. Once entered, the bartender greeted us, asked if we would like menus. Had our drinks in less than 2 minutes. Could not ask for better. Even though we did not eat this visit, the menu has a wide variety or choices, including gluten free and vegan. The fiid has always been delicious.

Amazing experience at Sushi Rose! We absolutely loved everything we tried and the Japanese-Peruvian fusion flavors. We especially liked the Peruvian maki roll. The chef is from LA and knows his sushi! Our waiter Mark was so enthusiastic and friendly. I have celiac disease and they were accommodating and knowledgeable about gluten free food. All the soy sauce is GF (tamari). 10/10 would recommend!

I recently visited The Downtown Grille for the first time, choosing it based on its stellar reputation—and it more than lived up to expectations. From the moment we walked in, the experience was exceptional. The service was outstanding, thanks to our server, Alex, who was knowledgeable and attentive, offering great recommendations that enhanced our meal. We started with two sides: the burrata and the octopus. Both were excellent, but the octopus stood out for being incredibly tender and flavorful. For entrées, my clients shared the 16oz ribeye, which was perfectly cooked, while I opted for the chicken marsala. Both dishes were beautifully prepared and full of rich, balanced flavors. Two of us eat gluten-free, and the restaurant easily accommodated our dietary needs without compromising on taste. Adding to the experience, General Manager Jon and Executive Sous Chef Giovanni took the time to visit our table, chatting with us about the menu and ensuring everything was perfect. Their passion for hospitality and attention to detail truly set this restaurant apart. My goal was to impress my clients, and The Downtown Grille delivered on every level. In the process, I also discovered a new favorite spot. I’ll definitely be returning for business or to enjoy another outstanding meal. Highly recommended!

Took our 4 kiddos and had a delicious dinner on their patio! I can’t say enough about our server David as well! He was so polite and helpful with recommendations since it was our first time there! My daughter and I have celiac disease and David and the kitchen staff were very accommodating and understanding! We will absolutely be back.

Sam was an amazing server! He really created a true culinary experience for us. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped out my friend who has celiac! The food was amazing, but it’s people like him that make the experience! Cheers!

Absolute gem in the heart of downtown Winston-Salem! Everything about this place is great. Coffee is great & biscuits are great. They offer vegan & gluten-free option as well. Worth noting: the biscuits are not cheap, but the quality absolutely matches what you pay. Best biscuit in-town!

Fantastic Gluten Free options. I had the shredded pork bowl! Husband has the Cuban deluxe and loved it(not gluten-free)! Lemon Lavender Mojito is also amazing!

Frasier Linde

The bartender thought she was ordering my burger as a lettuce wrap (after confirming with the kitchen that there was no gluten-free bun option), but in the system it was just "as a wrap." She offered to have them redo it, but I kept it for the novelty (I'm not strictly gluten free). It was decent, but under-seasoned (to be fair, I omitted the cheese) and I ended up adding ketchup (bacon jam would have been nice). The veggies were excellent as is.

We have wanted to eat here forever, and just happened upon Thursday night, half price bottle night! Loved the ambiance of the side patio, gorgeous beams and high ceilings. Excellent service and the food was delicious. Our server had knowledge of gluten free options, and so I got the Roasted Chicken and Gorgonzola salad. Husband got duck and Dad got the special, seafood lasagna. I wish there had been gluten free pasta, but my meal and wine was so good, it didn’t matter. We all splurged on dessert, tiramisu in pint mason jar, chocolate mousse and I got some divine vanilla gelato with crunchy mint. Really special place and very reasonably priced. We’ll be back!

My favorite pizza in Winston Salem! Love having authentic Italian pizza. Pretty sure they import all of their ingredients and even their ovens from Italy. Pizzas are big enough for 3 people usually. Lactose and gluten usually bother me, but these pizzas are light and do not upset my stomach
