Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots Across Salem

Bill Bartlett

We have seen this place on our travels and always say we should go in. Tonight, we decided to. We got there at 6:50pm. First off, what kind of dining establishment closes at 8pm? We walk inside and nobody is there to greet us. Fortunately, they have a gong. I don't think it is there to summon the wait staff but did that stop us? No, definitely not. The host/restaurant manager showed up promptly. Asked us if we needed a weak constitution (vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free) menu. We did not. We were escorted back to our both. It was dark and minimalist. I expected it to be more "exotic" being a Global Restaurant. The walls were mostly bare with a couple French looking paintings. We were given our menus and told that our waitress would be right with us. Water was promptly served and then began the wait. We had to wait a good 15 minutes in an almost empty restaurant before someone came close enough to flag down. Ordered a stuffed mushroom appetizer, a bottle of Savengion Blanc and a couple entrees. While we waited, I overheard someone at a neighorimg table say they had never seen Back to the Future.(I don't believe you.) Eggplant Parm and Mushrooms were great. The French Steak was not to my wife's liking. The wine was great, thank New Zealand. Overall, I'm glad we went but after spending $120, I don't think I would go again.

If you miss eating fried chicken strips and onion rings, then run (don’t walk) to Sassy! They do have a dedicated GF fryer.

Jennifer Gauntt

This restaurant has options for everyone in the family including numerous gluten free options. Their gluten free options are very good. Their staff are all very friendly and attentive.

Cody Gilbert

Great food with lots of gluten free options. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.

Beth Goodard

Disappointed hardly any toppings on gluten free crust. Three times now. Bummer

Lysa Allman-Baldwin

This place is absolutely delicious! The focus of their menu is plant-based first, and then there are some non plant-based options that you can add, like a real beef patty, salmon, and a couple of other things. For a place that you just order up at the counter, the menu is quite extensive, including an entirely separate gluten-free menu, which is extensive as well. Everything is made fresh, and the portion sizes are big. I highly recommend the tempeh bacon on anything and the red curry fries. They also have a wider array of non-alcoholic beverages as well as beer, wine, and coffee. And there is a large outdoor covered patio that also has lights for at night time. All in all, it's a great place for the plant-based and non plant-based alike!

Brenna Baucum

Just love this place. So many great gluten free options. One of my favorites is the massaged kale salad!

Adam Wear

The restaurant is well marked and easy to find. It it located in the historic Chapman building. It features a bar and dining area. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable. The seating is OK. The acoustics are not that great, and it can be difficult to have conversations. I enjoyed the Jessica burger with fries. The staff takes allergies seriously and accommodated my needs, being gluten-free and dairy-free. Parking can be challenging, especially on the weekends. Parking is free but limited to three hours.

I was driving thru to Portland and decided to stop here! I had their avocado toast, Chai tea latte, matcha latte, mocha, and gluten free brownie. The vibe is great, nice staff. I will say however the avocado toast was not a favorite because the avocado on my toast is harder than my toast. In fact, as I wrote my review, I can see another table ordered Avocado Toast, they left and guess what's still on the plate? The avocado is still on the toast. The batista was kind and asked if I wanted to exchange for something else, which I did and I'm grateful for. But, if you're serving avocado toast, and avocado is the main ingredient, please make sure the avocado is prepared well, ripe and delicious. I absolutely would come here again for the Mocha latte, SO GOOD!

We came in and I accidentally ordered regular crepes when they should’ve been gluten free due to allergy. They were so kind and accommodating and made all new crepes. Thank you French Press Staff. As always, the crepes and coffee is always good!!!

Nicole Ramsey

The best JM location I’ve ever eaten from. My husband and I get subs from this location frequently because they have the best gluten free bread and gf snicker doodle cookie. I’m so thankful to have these options. The sandwiches are always perfect too at this location. Just so happy!

R Wheeler

Pretty darn good. Found them while searching online for gluten-free, friendly restaurants in town. It's a little pricey, but the food is delicious and a little different for Salem. Lots of drink choices.

Chris McKinney

My wife and I went for our anniversary. I'm celiac, so finding a nice place that can meet my dietary needs is always a challenge. The food was outstanding. We had the salmon and the pork chop and they were both flawlessly executed. Our server was very kind and attentive and really went out of her way to look out for my dietary restrictions and ensure we had a great experience. Hands down the best dining experience we've ever had in Salem. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Lindsay Dutton

Really good gluten free crust. Similar to Abbys, but better.

Choice Meyer

Server was very knowledgeable in gluten free and made sure everything was safe for my celiac daughter. Super friendly and checked on us just enough. Food was amazing!! Miso made my heart happy. Highly recommend the jalapeno roll!!

Jess

The best Thai 👌 The owner is Thai and he is always there cooking the food fresh. There are containers of freshly chopped produce and you often see him preparing the food directly in front of you. He is so friendly too. There is a whole vegan/gluten free menu and you can pick the spicy level 😋 This is my go to for Thai!

Jeanene Brownell

Nice people and cozy atmosphere. The burgers were so full of flavor 😋 & my husband absolutely loved the homemade tater tots 😋 and they could do gluten free buns! Yum!!

Misty Baker

Very clean and friendly. Also very celiac friendly

Fritz Liedtke

We wereny sure what to think of this place at first, but then the food came.... The chicken and waffles were incredible, and gluten free! So excited to have delicious gluten free food.

Rebecca Sloper

This was my second time going and it was just as amazing as the first time. We were seated promptly and our waiter, Dyllan, was prompt and great with descriptions and recommendations. The only thing that was a slight bummer for me is the gluten-free options are limited. We had the shrimp and bacon risotto, brisket quesadilla and the Brussel sprouts. it was all amazing.. Will definitely be going back.

Car Mat

Will go back for sure. I wish salem had more roof top dining. This is a great spot. Gluten free crust here is pretty good.

Ron Whittam

Best gluten-free pizza in the Pacific Northwest!!!

Lulu Sparks

Great food. Awesome gluten free options

Katrina Koch

Delicious food! Plenty of options for the whole family. Gluten free vegetarian or meat.

Kate

Great service and they have gluten-free buns! Never thought I would enjoy a peanut butter pickle bacon burger but I do!

Diana Adorkable-Wife

The staff is friendly and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere. Food is great, though gluten free options are limited. Main dining, bar, patio are, and banquet room have always been clean and maintained. Great place for meeting with friends and catching up.

Erica Lugemye (The Awsome Oppossom)

The service was awesome the lady at the counter was super nice and the people at this place take gluten allergies very seriously. The service was extremely fast at least taking three minutes in total for pretty much everything (except for stuff like extra sauces which still took at least a minute or less). The men’s bathroom looked like it was cleaned by angels yesterday, and even the table has information about it that said stuff that made me feel like it was built by angels who had just traded the old wood for brand new wood at a poor orphanage. And the containers had minimal plastic even.

Amoni Gregory

The food at this establishment is actually really good. The worst part is the manager. My family and I came in with a large party. The manger was beyond rude. They served my mother who has celiacs disease regular pasta she ate half of it before she realized. We asked for dessert menus and the manager came up and took our order and then she started to "clean" our table. She was bashing objects around. As she was "cleaning" she have the dirtiest look to my 2-year-old nephew. They charged us for the pastas even though they basically poisoned my mother. I called them and asked why they wouldn't comp the meal because of their mistake. The manager accused us of walking out on the bill which we did not do. The waitress accidently forgot to run our card. The whole experience was bad, and she was very rude.

Alexander J.

Great gluten free options, spicy sauce

Samantha Martin

Came in to get some lunch. The gluten free crust was delicious. Salad bar was clean and stocked.

Kim Gordon-Cumbo

Eat here plenty with family when in Salem. Great wait staff, consistent quality, a gluten free menu with options and quick service.

Kate

Great pizza and good gluten-free crust

Hannah Krautscheid

I have to eat gluten free as I have celiac disease-so the Huli Huli chicken is usually gluten free if I sub the Mac salad for rice/veggies. I ordered that this time and I noticed my last few bites of rice tasted like they had a sauce on them. I lifted up the rice and there was residual Mac salad below the rice. They must have accidentally put Mac and scooped (most) of it out and then out rice over it. Even the smallest bit of gluten makes me sick so I had to throw the rest away and spent the evening sick from being glutened. Not cool. :(

Miranda Serrau

Best gluten-free French fries

Sally Strait

Love the Kahlua pork and the sauce is gluten free!!

Susan Priest

They do terriffic when it comes to a gluten allergy thank so much guys.

Sherry Stemmerman

Great selections and gluten free friendly pancakes and waffles

Kathryn Cater

I'm trying to avoid gluten and afraid of eating out. It was so wonderful to see several great choices on the menu clearly marked. A lovely experience, and very good coffee too! Our server was terrific. Prices were very affordable and everything was spotless. I look forward to coming again

Olivia Cazares

Very good food! Fast service and very kind to cater to this mutant ( gluten-free)! The food is really good, tastes home cooked, so flavorful! Will be back!

Mark Fink

The City of Salem hired Manila Fiesta to cater at our 2024 Employee Wellness Fair. Our employees LOVED their food and raved about it for weeks. They provided a wide variety of foods that covered many dietary restriction including vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, nut-free, and gluten-free. The Manila Fiesta's preparedness and service far exceeded our expectations.

Terrie Talbert

Hard to rate since I drove 1 hour to have gluten free breaded fish but their fryer was down. At least waiter told me but still bummed. Had Thai instead which was good.

Jessica Potter

Had a great time. I really appreciate the healthier and gluten free options. My daughter lost her favorite toy and the staff were really helpful and nice about it, someone found it two days later and they called me to let me know. Needless to say Chuck E. Cheese's is one of our favorite places!

Nicole Davis

It was okay. Their menu mentioned gluten free options, however, the options weren't displayed clearly and when asked, the waitress couldn't really articulate to my friend what the options were. She ended up just getting a salad which was underwhelming since she didn't want to come to a Korean restaurant for a salad. The potato pancake was good and the chicken curry was also good. Not a huge place and not many drink options. I'd say eat here and drink somewhere else.

Patricia Rhodes

Excellent butter chicken. Great place for gluten free food.

Brandon Ford

Loved the place! I went for a meeting over breakfast, not expecting to get anything because I'm celiac. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had Gluten Free options.

Lisa Fong

They catered a wedding I attended and it was THE BEST wedding food I've ever had. BBQ ribs, coleslaw, salad, cupcakes - all exceptionally tasty and all allergens were noted which was very helpful for me being celiac. Cannot recommend strongly enough!

M Cassidy

The Korean spin on Philly cheesesteak was incredible and deeply satisfying. Bulgogi beef was delicious as the cheesesteak meat. They get bonus points for offering a Gluten Free wrap. I was hesitant to try the meal but honestly I like it a lot better than traditional cheesesteak sandwiches and being able to enjoy it GF style was a huge win. I would totally eat this again next time I’m in town.

Christi Raunig

One of the best gluten free pizzas we've had. And I LOVE how they don't skimp on their toppings. You definitely get your money's worth. Fresh, hot, gooey pizza with lots of toppings -- yum! Our only complaint was that the garlic that we had put on as a topping had obviously not been roasted first; so it was tart and had a bite to it because it hadn't been cooked enough. Garlic should really be roasted before being used as a topping.

Phillip Castaneda

I will often visit Res Robin on the way home from work. I'll call in the order in advance, and pick up in person. We love their gluten free fries & burgers. As far as hamburgers go they make a great burger in Salem. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and the atmosphere is chill. I had a complaint about an order and I submitted it to corporate and they instantly made it right. I really appreciated it

Kiran Jonnalagadda

Great pizza. I am on gluten free diet. Normally pizza would hurt my tummy over night but these guys made great one ..
