Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots Across Central City, Phoenix

Lisa Child

The gluten free pitas were absolutely delicious!!

Carly

Delicious gluten free pizza and pasta! Though they used to use their gluten free pizza dough as bread and our waitress told us they don’t do that anymore, which is really disappointing

Laura Manning

Highly recommend this place for their food and for all the gluten free options! 95% of the menu is gluten free, our server was really knowledgeable about Celiac, and was really accommodating. 5 star food!

Adam Miller

This place is really chill and offers great food and service. The pancakes are amazing and come with real maple syrup. The Denver Omelette hit the spot and they had plenty of gluten free options.

My family and I had previously dined here and had a different experience this time. I ordered the gluten free Fettuccine Alfredo and added shrimp. The previous time the shrimp was added to my dish. This time I was given boiled shrimp on the side. The pasta had what would equal to 2 tablespoons of Alfredo Sauce at the bottom of my noodles. It tasted like I was eating plain noodles. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she brought out Alfredo sauce in a very small dish. It still wasn't enough. We had to request the bread because it wasn't brought out to us and we had to ask for refills. Each time the waitress brought out something to us, she was clearly annoyed. We thanked her, yet she would not respond. The host and the manager(?) were very friendly and greeted us when we arrived and thanked us for coming in.

Sunday night birthday party of 6. Had a reservation and were seated immediately. Sat in an oversized booth that held six people nicely. However, the padded bench on the side I was seated on had an issue. The springs underneath my butt were busted. I sat in a hole for the entire evening and left with a backache. The concrete brick wall behind us was avoid of any art. All our birthday pics look like we took them from a jail cell. Our waitress was very good at her job. She took care of us well. They have a great selection of whiskey. However many were sold out. Ordered a charcuterie app which was missing the bacon wrapped dates. Food was sold out as well. Some of us had to order our second choices due to this reason. My wings were tossed in a very strange, burned sauce. Each bite left a nasty burned taste in my mouth. Others at the table agreed. It was just disappointing. Also be aware there are no gluten free desserts here. Kinda sad since we had a person in our party with gluten issues. Guess we should have doubled checked their menu before making the reservation. We saw gf meals and made the reservation. Should have glanced at the desserts, since it was the birthday guest who had gf issues and no gf dessert. :( Also we overstayed our parking validation. So even though we had our parking ticket validated by the nice server, we stayed 25 mins longer than allowed. Ended up paying for parking as well even with it being validated.

Prescott Lederer

Very tasty food with carnivorous, gluten free and vegan options. I had chicken sopes which were excellent and authentic, and their spicy red salsa was soooo good! Cute restaurant inside and they have a small amount of patio seating. The employees were cheerful and friendly. Will definitely be back!

⸻ Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers – 7th Ave + Chase Field Locations Food Allergy Alert – READ BEFORE YOU GO If you have food allergies or care about someone who does, do not eat here. I’m speaking from real experience—not just as a disappointed customer, but as someone who literally had a mild anaphylactic reaction at one of their locations and watched them handle it with gross negligence. Let me explain: CHASE FIELD (Super Bowl time) – I came in at 16 with a friend. I had a bite of food and my mouth started tingling, and my throat began closing up. I immediately told the waitress. Instead of calling for help or checking the food, they came back with a paper stating I “consented” to eating the food and wouldn’t sue them. I was a minor, and I looked like a minor. They knew what they were doing—covering themselves legally instead of doing the right thing. It was cold, dismissive, and honestly horrifying. And as for the beer? Let me paint the scene: it was the Super Bowl. The place should’ve been electric. But when I walked into the Chase Field location, not one group of men smiled when their beers hit the table. Not one. Faces went sour and dark. That moment said everything. The beer was warm, flat, and honestly—embarrassing for a place that has “Cold Beers” in the name. 7TH AVE LOCATION (March 24, 2025 at 3:00 PM) – I called to ask about allergens and the staff didn’t even know what an allergen warning was. Not an exaggeration. They were confused by the term. This chain is actively ignoring basic food safety standards that could literally cost people their lives. I checked their entire website after the call. There is no allergen menu, no clear breakdown, and no proper disclosures. Just vague mentions of “gluten-friendly” with no depth. There’s zero transparency or education across the board, and that’s terrifying. This chain is massively negligent, both ethically and operationally. I have officially filed a report with Linda at the Health Services Department to address this growing pattern of negligence. I strongly urge others to speak up before someone gets seriously hurt—or worse. ⸻

My fav ice cream shop! They have amazing weekly flavors and nondairy and gluten free options!

Jewel

As someone who eats gluten-free, dairy-free foods due to sensitivities and allergies, the customer service was excellent for ensuring that precautions were made. Not only that, but they basically had the best tamales I’ve ever had.

Lee V

First and foremost, I have the acknowledge the manager there named Robert F. My girlfriend has both dairy and gluten allergies and he was so precise and thorough, continually checking to make sure what she ordered didn't contain those allergens. I truly appreciated him going way above and beyond. Both my girl and I were extremely thankful for his phenomenal service. Thank you, truly! 🙏

Beware if you are celiac, although this restaurant offers a gluten free bun they cross contact with regular buns and the burgers. They are not celiac safe.

Marty Johnson

Stopped in on a quick trip to Phoenix and was so impressed. The best shrimp pad Thai I’ve ever had! Highly recommended. And they’re super gluten-free accommodating.

Rowan Mary

Great milkshakes and bowls! Every time I'm downtown I grab something from there. They have a lactose free option, and mark everything that's gluten free as such.

Deborah Halter

Excellent service and great food!! Gluten free options as well that were good! It stays pretty crowded but it is worth it! Enjoy!

Lori Dierinzo

We stopped by before catching the Green Day concert and we were so pleasantly surprised. I'm celiac and had heard Carcara had a nice GF selection and were caring and attentive regarding cross contamination and they did not disappoint. My drink was a very generous pour and the piece of chicken on my salad was seasoned to perfection and very large. The atmosphere is so chill and lovely. Maybe a bit pricey BUT the portions are generous, and the service and atmosphere are superb.

Ben Sigal

We went here for our anniversary and could have been happier. The flavors were truly unique, and they had some of the most unique cocktails we’ve ever experienced. Also, the molè was amazing; so much so my wife who is typically no fan of molè, was happily eating it as we enjoyed our meal. The yucca frites and marrow were to die for! Excellent gluten free options. We will definitely be back!

Lauryn

Highly highly recommend. Food was good, they have gluten free options. And coffee was delicious. We got the flight and I even got one more to go it was so good. Super cute spot.

Veronica Hernandez

GREAT date night place. Atmosphere, venue, service - all high-quality. Unfortunately, they did not have many gluten free options so we ended up just having drinks - so I cannot speak to their food quality but the small menu did seem to consist of some decent choices for those without dietary restrictions. The drinks were well-prepared and hit the spot perfectly!

Karen Joy Reill

The vibe of this place is so fun and truly welcoming. We ate indoors, but the outdoor space is charming, especially when days or evenings are cool. Service was perfect -- not overbearing but not neglectful. Prices are good considering that portion sizes are HUGE. I have to eat gluten-free and while there aren't a ton of options, the ones that exist are good. I got roasted Brussels sprouts as an app to share with two others -- we had plenty. I also got pulled pork fries. I do wish there was a tiny bit more pork, but the flavor was outstanding and, again, portion size was huge. I ate about 2/3 and my son polished off the rest. I also had an Old Fashioned which was OK-only. Square ice cube, but it was cloudy and while I don't like my drinks sweet, this one wasn't sweet enough. Still, that wasn't enough to make me regret my experience. I don't live in Phoenix (I used to) but I have family there and I will definitely return to the Welcome Diner.

We stopped in on our trip to Phoenix.The food was amazing we ordered the garlic monkey bread and gluten free pizza.botuvwere so good . Ray loved the beer also .Our server Airea was awesome so nice and helpful.... We met the owner he was so great also ..thank you for a great experience This is on our list of places to go ....

Lee Miller

The drip coffee and gluten free breakfast cookie I had today were both amazing!

Emily Guile

Good for what it is! Popped in for a quick lunch. Servers were friendly and kind. Food arrived fast. Really wish they offered a gluten free bread/bun option but the "Adam & Eve" treatment for the burger wasn't bad (enough lettuce for a salad!). The burger was tasty and the lemonade did not disappoint. Next time I'm going for the chips and deviled eggs!

Madison Wood

Went here on a whim our last night in Phoenix and we were very pleasantly surprised. We were seated at a cozy intimate table. Cindy was an incredible waitress who went above and beyond to ensure my meal was safe and enjoyable (I have celiac disease) and kept the delicious corn tortillas coming! The Queso Fundido, Halibut Ceviche and Chile Relleno were fresh and delicious.

Pam Dorey

This place is awesome, my mom had to much fun playing pinball the atmosphere was great. Gluten free pizza topped it all off

A Roberts

Great food (Mac and cheese and tomato soup), nice patio, and gluten-free friendly. There are a few GF entree options and there were two GF pastries (brownie and strawberry cake) when I was there. Just wanted to clarify since a previous review said nothing was GF, they may have been referring to the pastry case.

Natalie Silverstein

Favorite salad place in the valley. Gluten-free options + you can add rice to it (grain bowl) to make it more filling if you're not a big salad person. Love all of the premium toppings too! The edamame, avocado, egg, etc. make it even better.

Michelle Wendt

I ate here 3 times on a recent weekend trip. I appreciated how the dishes were spiced upon request because I don't like spicy. I'm gluten free and there were many options on the menu. Highly recommend!

Marlene Connor

Great food, large portions, gluten-free pancakes. Best staff ever

D. Francis

Gluten-free, one the best places to eat at the airport for breakfast, plan on standing in line for a bit, but worth the wait. My server was helpful and did her best for being short staffed.

Katya Sehryn

Excellent service. Good atmosphere. I had the mushroom burger. It had has layers of umami-goodness from the sauteed mushrooms (which had a nice hint of thyme), to the saucey blue cheese crumbles, and the solid beef patty. The beer battered fries were great - best without ketchup. Need a gluten-free bun? They got you. Usually, I would ask for a lettuce wrap. But today I felt inclined to have a burger that felt more traditional. The bun was soft and fresh. Can't wait to go back!

Ms Alhadi

Hello Celiac friends :) . This is one of the gems that you literally find and go and enjoy which me and my family did. We went on a Monday, let me tell you about their waffles they are gluten free. I messaged the owner on Instagram and he confirmed that they are gluten-free and that they're cast never seen gluten 😭😀😀 they were delicious. If you have a dairy allergy they have two other options which is a matcha and a regular waffle which are also delicious. My sisters that are not celiac tried their chicken panini and they said it was delicious. We also tried the Sicilian dragon lemonade which was very yummy. So if you're in 7th Street in Phoenix pay them a visit, The atmosphere is quite nice and they have outdoor seating with pets allowed :)

Ryan Lawrence

Perfect fried chicken place. Bonus- I heard the batter is gluten free! No notes🪶🌽

Coco Nicole Estef

You guys have to check out this vegan place! They also have gluten free options and their food is beyond perfection!!

Liliana Arunga, MBA

Love that they offer Gluten free , cauliflower crust pizza and even Dairy free vegan cheese ! Delicious!

Mitchell Phillips

They typically know what's up re. cross contamination

Julie Wilds

We had an excellent meal here. The food was plentiful and tasty. I have gluten and soy allergies and was able to have many options for food, obviously not a pasty, but that is okay.

Andrea Skrinnik

I felt personally cared for throughout my experience at Wildflower. Wonderful service and delicious vegan and gluten free food. Thank you guys!

Tisha Troutman

We had an event for 41 teens and chaperones, so it was a no-brainer to order from Chick-fil-A for lunch. All of the kids love the nuggets! We ordered nuggets, salad, and mac & cheese for delivery. Allison was there right on time and the food was fresh and hot!!! Planning an event this big for this many teams is never easy, but Chick-fil-A made it easy. Everything was plated in easy to open containers. They included serving utensils, plates, napkins, forks, and a good Variety of salad dressings and chicken dipping sauces. We also ordered grilled chicken nuggets for a few kids who are gluten-free. This is the second time we’ve placed a large order like this for a large number of kids and/or teens. They never disappoint. Glad we could make the kids and parents happy with this spread. The only complaint…we ran out of nuggets. 🤣 We’ll have to double the order next time!!!! Thanks, Allison and team! You came through for us again. We’ll call you again next time.

Bill Delia

Everything was perfect but my significant other is gluten free, from what i can see every food item on the menu has gluten

Liz

The ramen and drinks are solid, and the bartenders are always nice and friendly. Sometimes service is slow if they're short staffed. I like how they have rice noodles, so I can have gluten free ramen. I dont love how saucy their spicy edamame is, but that may be preferance. Overall, the ambiance is chill and modern, and I always end up here if I'm craving late night food.

AP DL

Casual but tasty ramen joint in downtown. Good broth. Noodles cooked just right, soft and chewy but not sticky or overly soft. Generous amount of meats and toppings. Kale noodles option for gluten- intolerable eaters. All-in-all, cool noddle shop to visit often... 👍🏾

Holly Camerucci

Amazing high quality breakfast sandwiches- always accommodate my gluten allergy with care and concern. Friendly staff and good service. Everything you could want for breakfast at airport !

Amy Gillespie

I love this place! The waitress is extremely knowledgeable about allergies and what works for Gluten Free and Vegan options! Very accommodating and ALWAYS friendly. One of my favorite places to go and not have to worry about getting sick!

Deja Sadler

Love coming here to do some work! Their Turmeric Lattes are so good✨also they have gluten free options

AnAngelsKiss

I love Irma's! I have been going to her since 2013! She's an amazing woman. I didn't see her this time. The staff for the most part are really friendly. Her daughter can have a negative attitude sometimes but for the most part they're friendly. My grandmother says that they have a different style of cooking. The soups she's used to but theirs was different. I personally don't care for the rice as it just tastes like rice in chicken broth. I think the salsa they bring with the chips is watered down and needs some chili peppers. Yet if my like a bit more spice like I do, they will give you a spicier salsa. But other than that, everything is excellent! The methods are just from a different part of Mexico than my grandmother's family. They do speak English and Spanish. They are authentic to their region of Mexico. I recommend going here. Oh they also have gluten free and vegan options.

Peter Taylor

Not too bad as far as airport food goes. Does Gluten free.

Joanne Landry

Enjoyed my meal but not many gluten free or dairy free options.

Cecily Dillard

Delicious food and drinks. Very accommodating to my gluten free needs. Party of 8 that increased to 11. Even with other reservations, management made accommodations for us as the group expanded.
