Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in Waco

Carolyn Barrett

Excellent food! And it is gluten free, dairy free, nut free. The nug box is a staple. The smoked chicken salad box is my personal favorite. The smoked salmon is quite good also; I recommend with the salad and rice. Food is so fresh here and the music they play is always fabulous and puts me in a good mood.

I love the burgers and the atmosphere here. They have gluten free buns which made me very happy. The pickles are a big hit! Excellent restaurant.

It was so nice to find a Hawaiian place that has so many gluten free options! Everything there is GF except for the mac and chesse - even the sauces! I got the Honolulu plate, it was fantastic. Service was great, everyone was so friendly - particularly Julie - thank you!

I absolutely loved my order of chicken and waffles. My waffle was perfectly cooked. The breading on the chicken tenderloin was perfectly seasoned and not salty. The fresh strawberries were sweet and really added to my enjoyment. I appreciate the organic and gluten-free ingredients. It's definitely a must on my next trip to Waco, TX. Last but not least, the owner was an absolute joy!

Disclaimer: mainly went to make my wife jealous that I got to eat here since I was by myself....however I also wanted to go based on previous reviews. The food was solid. Good portions (which I normally wouldn't say in most reviews) and great quality food. The strawberry butter was really good and I'm not the type to get excited about butter. They also have mocktails which is nice. I was here on a hot June day and the Cherry Fizz was a solid choice. My waitress was also pretty knowledgeable about what food is safe for me (Celiac's) and able to ensure everything was safe. Overall for the portion and quality of the food everything it was relatively inexpensive considering I had eggs.

Really tasty menu items. Gluten free is available. Beer on tap. Friendly staff, all sharing customer service duties.

The pizza is absolutely delicious and I'm beyond grateful for their inclusion of gluten free and vegan options. The service has for the most part been friendly, but there have been two instances where it was pretty disappointing. The first instance occurred when my mom called and made a reservation for homecoming weekend. The reservation was lost and while they were trying to figure it out (shout out to the wait staff who were so kind and humble with the situation), the owner came out and said, "you mean to tell me you're walking in at 6:00 on homecoming trying to get a table for eight?" To which my mom replied that is why we made the reservation. His staff was very helpful in sorting the situation out, but as the conversation continued the owner remained snarky. The service took a long time, but again, it was homecoming weekend and we had a large group, so that is very understandable. The second instance was an issue with pricing. I asked the waitress how much extra gluten free crust cost. She was beyond sweet and said, "Oh it doesn't cost extra!" I then asked if cheese counted as the one complimentary topping to which she responded, "no, you get another topping in addition to cheese. No extra charge." When I got the check I ended up paying 10 more dollars than I expected. I was charged both for the gluten free crust and the cheese. I brought it up to the waitress, not to argue the charge, but to let her know in case someone else asked in the future. She was so so sweet and they gave me $5 back in cash, however I was still disappointed with the miscommunication. The pizza is delicious, the waitstaff is kind, but these two experiences make it seem that the establishment struggles with organization and communication.

We had Corben as our waiter. He was fabulous! He was so helpful with the gluten free menu, and all the questions we had. The food was delicious. The only problem was it was difficult to hear as we sat near the kitchen. You can see below we cleaned our plates clean.

Wendy Pethtel

One of my favorite places to eat with celiac. So much flavor in their crepes and bowls.

Bre Born

This was my first time eating at Mod Pizza, and it was awesome! They have a gluten-free option! This place is perfect for those who like lots of toppings, as you only need to pay for the crust, then you can add whatever toppings you want on your pizza. You can also get dipping sauce or have sauce drizzled on the pizza. The food was great, the restaurant was nice and clean, and the employees were kind and worked fast. Overall, a great experience. I plan to come again! 😁

Naomi Amador

Everything baked from scratch that is offered on a bun or bread, many gluten-free options. Prices are Bonkers for the quality. Friendly staff, and very clean. Quite Charming

Love this place. My go-to for a gluten free cheese sandwich. I'm terrible at making them, so when I get a craving, I come here. The staff is wonderful and their options are quite perfect in their simplicity!

Amy Adams

Awesome dairy and gluten free options!! Delicious & great service.

Makayla Burkett

I enjoyed eating there alot of different options. I alos enjoyed that there was gluten free substitutions for some dishes. The staff is polite and respectful.

Maria Rushing

It was so great! I was a little discouraged that i wasn’t able to get a waffle but they actually have gluten free waffles! they were so friendly and accommodating. i definitely recommend them!

Kimberly Mccarthy

If you are looking for great BBQ in casual setting do not miss Terry Black's. I was not expecting its almost fast food style service where you select your sides (single, pint or larger servings), then meat by the pound (sold in 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, or pound servings. We had the brisket, plain sausage and pork ribs. All outstanding. Melt in your mouth brisket. The potato salad and coleslaw slaw are both vegan and gluten free for anyone avoiding those. Great green beans too. I missed that they dont offer collard greens. Corn bread was great too. Highly recommend for a relaxed casual lunch or dinner. The guy by the smoker even offered to take out picture by the sign and next to the smokers and to give us a quick tour of the smokers.

Jordyn Reeves

Alice helped me get my food exceptionally!! I am celiac so I have to eat gluten free and she made sure I was accommodated for sure!

Destiney Maxwell

This place is really amazing! The service was top tier! They have gluten free options, I was able to get an Appetizer, Meal, and Dessert. The Whipped Ricotta with Gluten-free chips was very good, the Americano Pizza with Gluten-free crust was even better, and Oh my goodness the Gluten-free Torte was to die for. Highly recommend!

Tea Time

My family has been getting gluten-free pizza here for a few years. The cost is around $20, but until now the size was ok. While the price has stayed the same, the pizza has shrunk to 1/2 the size it was. The quality isn't great, but GF crust is hard to perfect, however we can buy the same quality at Wal-Mart for much less with this one. Bummer. We've dined in once, weren't thrilled with the service or atmosphere, but I really feel that speaks more of the owners than the staff. I think the staff does try to be accommodating but it's just a depressing place.

Kathryn Menchu

There have a gluten free and very good foods.

Wendy Pethtel

Gluten free buns makes it to where I can have a Philly even with celiac. Very nice

Zane Mrazek

Food is awesome especially for my gluten and dairy free wife. Gregory was super friendly and accommodating!

Abellas Cake Atelier

Absolutely LOVED the care taken to pack my food being gluten free/celiac! Changed their gloves without being asked and handled my food with such care! God the baked potato with brisket and it was so delicious! Thank you for a wonderful meal and service!!!

Wendy Pethtel

Love pulled pork nachos with an extra side of queso. So yummy and a yummy gluten free option

Hope Esseltine

As a person highly sensitive to gluten, this is one of my favorite places to eat in Waco! I love that they have accommodated their dishes to service people who have gluten sensitivity. I love many of their plates and have even had their food delivered to me while coaching at track meets nearby! If that doesn't say how good the food is, I don't know what does!

Sabrina

Gluten free options Dog friendly patio and will bring food out to you. Inside looks cool and prices are good.

ARRAN MCLEOD

I have a gluten allergy and I'm used to servers and staff rolling their eyes when I ask for a gluten free menu. Quite the opposite here. Our server was very accommodating. The manager on duty, Emily, came out to assure me of how my food would be handled (unheard of). The food was excellent, fast and served with many smiles. I will definitely attend anyone's birthday lunch here!

It was all about Ms. Rita Joy. She and I spent a lot of time here with her family and friends and just us. I return to celebrate her life... time after time... it is one of my traditions. Her spirit is attached around town, and I visit where she still resonates. I seek to celebrate such a remarkable friend the rest of my life following what she mentored me to navigate against. She was a true friend who, until she died, loved me and taught me the things, only a mother could teach, which I believe is what I've needed the most in my life. My mother died at 39. For this, I will celebrate the one who taught me how to love myself because I am worth love. She taught me so much, and yes, she knew my Father, George Oscar Houseman Sr. My beloved father. They coriografered many of Waco Civic Theater dance routines here in Waco, Texas, many many many years ago. God bless all the hard work, anyone that knows me... it took. I have a family disease from my mother's side... Celiac Sprue disease. Ms. Rita totally understood. For this, I will always be glad to know someone who loved my daddy and me! So when you see me there, understand these people, I totally understand...me. God bless that Centra Texas has been my home since 7th grade, Robinson, Texas. We landed here after we left the island. For this, I praise the Lord, my Jesus Christ. I am safe and sound to bring in one more year. May 2024 be an eye opener for those who do not believe "Only God is the Victor, never the devil, he lies!" So hold on to what you believe. God is our only salvation! Wake up. It's time to go to Lonehorn Steakhouse, where the Holy Spirit lives among us. Thanks Ms.Rita❣️

Sisters Adventure Day and it was a google search that lead us to a restaurant with gluten free menu (which I needed) a glass of the best rosé (Chloe) we toasted with and the most amazing lunch we could have asked for. The salmon was perfectly cooked and everything was seasoned to perfection. We both agreed that the chefs cooked with their hearts. Cheers to a wonderful staff!

Kellee B

First of all, shout out to Brynley for being the most amazing service provider! George’s is that place that a lot of restaurants wish they could be. They have a menu with options that can please even the most finicky of diners. Our group have a vegan, a vegetarian, meat lovers, and gluten free musts. This place was able to make each of us happy. We visited the place a few times during our weekend in Waco. It may sound like a college hangout, but it is much more, it’s a family. Food portions are large, prices are affordable and the drinks are huge. As I am the reviewer, I will say that I had amazing veggie fajitas sizzling with mushrooms and warm tortillas. Fantastic! Give George O’s a try the next time you’re traveling through or staying in Waco. good food and fun times!

Joseph Pizzio (Joe)

Food was great for the most part. Very little understanding of making items gluten-free (offered to leave egg out 🤦‍♂️) (although one additional star given for having Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) on-hand. Don't recommend anyone to request adding tofu... It was served raw and cold on top of fried rice rather than mixed in and cooked. Sushi and fried rice dishes were excellent and ramen looked good (didn't order any this visit).

Timothy Joyce

This is a good reliable burger! I've mostly had In-N-Out Burger in California and Texas and they are consistently good across all the locations visited. The Fries are fresh and crispy, the Vanilla Shake was excellent! Gluten-free options available!

Makayla Burkett

Always love eating here. They have gluten free options and the staff is usually really nice.

Sandy Gately

Usually good gluten free food, but the last few times I was served sandwiches with the bread completely fallen into pieces. Aggravating.

Faith Hallock

Dan Koziol

If you have any form of dietary restriction do not eat here. They advertise many gluten free options. I asked about the chips and they told me to Google the manufacturer. No information online. I asked about the menu and was told there are many gluten free options. I asked for specifics and was advised they would go get someone. My friends food came out and the staff told me it'd be best if I just not eat here. So I didn't. Neither should you if you need to know what's in your food. Don't advertise options if there are none.

ARRAN MCLEOD

Brussels to begin... and soooo delicious. Gluten friendly options, very knowledgeable staff, awesome customer service. Everything we ate had the best taste ever. I can go on forever. This place is a hit all the way!
