Best Gluten Free burgers in town! Service is always great too!

Daniel Kane

Such a cute place! Everything is gluten free and tastes amazing!

Rachael Nevsimal

First time I've been able to have a quality waffle cone since being gluten free. Ice cream was delicious and worth every penny!

Victoria Rodriguez

Two thumbs up. Newly DX’d at celiac so still not really sure what I am doing yet. The waitress was super helpful and I had an awesome GF meal that finally left me feeling full and happy! The GF pancakes were a must. Tasted exactly like regular pancakes. Will definitely be back!

Sunday Brunch. They were slow and word has it the Brunch feature is going away based on volume, attendance. My wife and I were the only customers which was nice from our perspective. She had the Shrimp and Grits and I had the Steak and Eggs, both very tasteful and well prepared. One complaint, they both could have been warmer. Decent wine, adult beverage selection. Excellent Gluten Free food and dessert selection.

Visited this spot while in Durango, yesterday, based on other reviews. It was a great, busy place, which helped support the reviews I read prior. Service was quick and friendly. There was a bit of a wait to sit, but nothing I wouldn't expect with a place like this. The food was very good. My partner hasn't been able to have a crispy chicken sandwich in years, because she's gluten free, and she REALLY enjoyed that. The local soda options were very cool; loved the root beer! Great atmosphere, great vibe. Highly recommend if you dig this kind of food spot.

Trevor McKertcher

Actively seeked out Gluten free pancakes for my wife. She loved them. My breakfast was simple French toast and I enjoyed it. The service was fantastic as everyone was friendly with both customers and each other.

Callie Jordan

Best burger ever! Gluten free buns are delicious too. Friendly staff as well!

Emma Thompson

Always love carvers for a consistent and good meal, patio is amazing and so many great gluten free and vegetarian options on their menu! We had Beau as our server at the beer garden and he was super attentive and friendly! We will be back 🤗

We got to Eolus Bar & Dining about an hour before our reservation and called to see if we could be seated early. Luckily, we were seated within 15 minutes, which was great. The menu is definitely on the "fancy" side, and given the prices, you'd expect it to be. When we sat down, the atmosphere felt a bit off. Despite its reputation as a high-end restaurant, there were people wearing flip-flops, making it feel more like a regular spot than anything fancy. Our server was okay but seemed very nervous and almost lost at times. We ordered two lobster hamburgers with sweet potato fries. It sounded intriguing, and we both wanted something familiar. The burgers were just okay. I had a gluten-free bun, which wasn’t toasted – it felt like it came straight out of the bag. The ranch I asked for was thick and bland, plus it cost $2 for a small cup. Overall, we left early and skipped dessert. I’d give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Enjoyed eating a salad at Sage fresh eats. After a few days of eating burgers and steak I wanted something healthy. And sure enough this place had plenty of options. I was also very happy that they had plenty of gluten-free options. Even the soup was gluten-free. Something you rarely find in other places. The environment was quiet and clean.

Pretty good BBQ, the various condiments they served were excellent. We got a platter with brisket, ribs, chicken, links, the works and added their potato salad. My husband and I really liked the various sauces that came with it but they weren't BBQ sauce. The sauce at our table was a Carolina vinegar style sauce in my opinion and the BBQ didn't strike me as traditional Texas dry rub. I'm from Oklahoma and have traveled all over Texas trying BBQ, stopped off in Tennessee lots of times and always gotten BBQ, lived in Virginia for a year, and used to vacation in N. Carolina as a kiddo (more BBQ). Our Texas cousins that have a home in Durango recommended it and it did not disappoint. Also in the summer, sit outside. That was probably my favorite part. It doesn't have a dedicated gluten-free option per se but the meat is gluten-free.

David James

Great tasting BBQ. Celiac friendly. While there is not a gluten free menu they will do gluten free on request.

Kati Fit

Had a wonderful experience here, even with it being early morning (before 6am) the food were cooked perfectly-to-order (even had gluten-free opts. for those with a sensitivity), had an updated retro feel, such friendly service (Trey was incredibly kind) and very attentive, plus the coffee never emptied :) overall a superb experience!

Victoria Rodriguez

The GF crust was fine. The problem was that there was hardly anything on top of the crust. We got a pepperoni and margarita GF pizza. The Margarita pizza was dry and had a few small pieces of cheese and hardly any sauce. The pepperoni was better as it at least had a decent amount of pepperonis but not much cheese or sauce. It’s also a very small pizza and cost over $40 for the two of them! NOT WORTH IT for what you get. Skip this place and spend your $ elsewhere as there’s lots of GF options in Durango.

Wildflower

We love this place and go there every time we're in the area. Delicious food. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options. Friendly service.

David Dunn

The gluten-free options are plentiful and phenomenal. I got the fried pork rolls as an appetizer and could not have been happier. Such an incredible amount of crunch and flavor. The sesame beef teriyaki bowl was also a real winner.

Catherine Grillos

Gluten free cauliflower wraps!

Angelise Poling

This was the best place to eat in Durango. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Good service and absolutely wonderful food! Even good if you're gluten and dairy free (I got shredded beef tacos, no dairy, corn tortilla)

George Johnson

Great coffee shop! Wonderful selection of pastries and cakes that are made on premise and are very delicious, including gluten free. Very nice atmosphere. Service is a little slow due to space and employee count.....but so worth it.

Daniel Donaldson

Best temp on a filet I've ever had. Great chefs here! Good service and atmosphere. They know gluten free well.

Logan Gratehouse

We found this restaurant as we were passing through Durango and it was a great find. Nice local flair with a ln excellent pizza selection--by the slice or 12". They even had a cauliflower gluten free crust option which we needed for one of our kids. Small place with a bar and a small outdoor patio that is dog friendly. Recommend the outdoor seating as the inside was a little stuffy. The family was happy with the food and the atmosphere. It did take a while to be greeted by someone to take our order and then we still weren't sure how they did things. Service could be a little better if the staff was more attentive. Overall a great little place with great food.

Kaitlyn Pullara

Really good wings and pizza. We stopped in on a road trip. Definitely a little pricey but they have gluten free options. The garlic parm wings are a must try!

Jamie Lakes

We found this gem through the Find Me Gluten Free app whilst passing through Durango. We ordered the Zuppa Toscana, Ragu di Cinghiale, Fettucine al Tartufo, a few wines, and gelato to go. Everything was delicious, and far exceeded our expectations for our first visit. A huge THANK YOU to Stephanie, Fiona with the brilliant eye make-up (superb!), and Tracy. An extremely well-run outfit, and a must visit for anyone in Durango.

Ahliya Harding

Super accommodating!! Just make sure to ask if you’re very sensitive as some things are pre made on the same grill as the tortillas (I know tofu is one but not sure on anything else!) Otherwise everything is great!!

Keely W

Basic coffee but impressed they had gluten free food options. I had a GF scone and noticed they had GF to-go sandwiches.

Dixie

Had dinner on one night stay in Durango. So delicious. The naan was perfect, dishes were better than anything we’ve had in Nepal or Tibet. Conversations with wait staff and owner brought us back to wonderful visit to Nepal. Highly recommend for the flavors, reasonable prices, vegetarian and gluten friendly items on menu. Service was excellent, not too crowded on a summer week night. Owner, a former mountain guide, supports preschool in his home village in Nepal.

Maggie Hensle

I ate for the second time, and I’m really impressed. IMO they have the best gluten-free baked goods in town. The staff is friendly and always ready with great meal suggestions, and the food is fresh, flavorful, and interesting. I had the ham, brie, and apple sandwich with hot honey mustard for lunch, and it was a delicious combination of flavors. The highlight, though, was the desserts. We had the carrot cake and chocolate cake, both with unique flavor combinations and textures. Neither tasted gluten-free, which is a big plus—they were moist, not too sweet, and held together well. Overall, I love this place. The only improvements I could suggest are a bit more seating and a satellite location downtown!

This place has gone downhill over the years. There is better pizza and wings at Happy Pappys and Fathers Daughters. And the gluten free pizza is terrible!

Katherine Daley

Really great all around- everyone loved their food and dining experience, and the gluten free options were amazing!

cassidy york

Good gluten free options, great food, usually pretty fast

Jasmine Wilson

All their sauces are made with tamari, for one. I worked with the owners at other restaurants in college, and have celiac disease, and it’s something they take seriously and work hard to accommodate.

KERRY DIXON

Great service and so good that they cater to gluten intolerant customers. At first we thought it was over-priced, but after watching how all ingredients are sourced, it made us feel good about the food.

Lisa Hoekman

Great place! Friendly, good coffee and good food. Big plus they have gluten-free 🥯. Madd my day ND our trip to Durango great. Thanks Doughworks!

Amber Kat A.

Vegan pizza! Just ask for the dairy-free cheese. Gluten-free crust is also available, if you've never tried it, give avocado on your pizza a try, it's 🔥! They also usually have gluten-free beer, non-alcoholic beers, huckleberry soda, and at least one cider. Great pinball as well! J. Bos is a neighborhood gem.

Drew Malinowski

We absolutely loved this place for breakfast and smoothies that we ended up going back twice during our visit! The owner and the entire staff were incredibly kind and went out of their way to accommodate my gluten-free and dairy-free dietary restrictions. Highly recommend for everyone!

The first place I stop to eat, upon entering Durango. This spot is filled with Cajun charm and southern hospitality. Perfect if you are missing some home cooking, from the Gulf Coast. 🦐 Beautiful flowers line the outdoor area. Cute bees like to pop by and pollinate. 🐝 Be prepared to come in early and get in line. The food is delicious! Well worth the wait! Gluten free options are clearly listed on the menu. The catfish and oysters were available gluten free (Hwy 3 shout out THANK YOU for the GF options). Full bar is available. Weekly specials. Friendly guests and bartenders. A fun time always included.

Holly Elizabeth Girouard

Delicious and gluten free options!

megshush

The cookies and cream vegan and gluten-free ice cream was amazing. Perfect consistency and flavor.

Brit B

The food was delicious and the prices were great! The staff were all very knowledgeable about what was gluten free for an allergy and the Japanese margarita is a must!

Lauren Ames

The plants give this coffee shop such a great vibe! I also appreciate their really strong coffee and gluten free pastries.

Jade

Super cool location! They have a good amount of options for vegetarian and gluten free people. The food was super yummy! The zuberfizz soda is my new favorite, thankfully my town an hour away carries it since I am now addicted lol.

The margaritas are the best we have ever had anywhere, and we can bring our dogs and sit just outside the restaurant because it's located inside the Main Avenue Mall between 8th and 9th Street. They serve gluten free chips so I feel better about eating them (you can't taste the difference, but I can feel the difference). I try not to eat rice and beans in general, to keep my weight down, and they are very accommodating when I ask for a salad on the other side of the plate so I can have a lighter meal. I love, love, love their Camarones A La Crema, their Camarones a la Diabla which has a nice spice, not too spicy, but really nice. Grilled jalapenos always adds a nice kick with anything I order. Their homemade mole is amazing, but the Pollo En Mole Poblano is a pretty large dish for me. It is so good you want to finish your plate. My husband loves their margaritas (the one he named Suzanne) and their lengua burrito or tacos. I try to encourage him to try more things on their menu, because I'm always discovering a new favorite... but he rarely orders something other than their lengua. I love their lengua tacos and their shrimp tacos and shrimp fajitas or shrimp fajita salad served in a taco shell, but I want to eat the whole shell, so I don't order that very often because I don't trust myself when trying to maintain my weight and not go overboard. If we just want appetizers and a margarita? We love their Camarones Locos, and the Fried Calamari is so good, it's not greasy at all, but instead it has a light coating (I don't want to say breading because it doesn't seem like breading) and the dipping sauce is delicious... the Ceviche is amazing, but even better is their Botanas which as Ceviche inside along with fresh oysters on the half shell. The staff is very, very friendly and sweet... we love all of them!

Delicious gluten free dishes! Also try the turmeric chai, yummy!

James Cook

The food is on point check them out ! And it’s gluten free!!

Rachel Nichols

Gluten free ramen with kelp noodles!!!! This is truly a hidden gem!!!

Matt Brown

The employees really take "gluten free" seriously... changing gloves, making sure to avoid cross contamination seriously, etc

The Diamond Belle is situated within historic The Strater Hotel. I’ve been coming for years. We have a summer home just outside Durango. The Diamond Belle has maintained the historic look of old western bars. They have a honky tonk piano player in the evening. The food is very good. We’ve had pretty much everything on the menu. My favorites are the Italian Grinder and French Dip. My wife has to eat gluten free and has never been disappointed. Their gluten free bread is one of the best she’s had. Service is excellent. Staffing is a real issue for them. As a tourist area, it’s hard to predict what staff might be necessary. When the dining room gets very busy, the executive staff will come out and assist the theme/dressed wait staff. All in all, the Diamond Belle saloon is a great place to get a drink or eat a meal when spending the day in Durango. We’ve been coming for almost 50 years.

Donell Deane

I went in to get some breakfast burritos but needed corn tortillas due to my husband's gluten intolerance. The cooks came up with breakfast tacos that were muy delicioso!! I appreciated the staff working with me on the gluten issue. Thanks, guys! Buen trabajo!

Sadie Brown

My husband loves sushi. I do not like fish. We both love this restaurant! Numerous options for all food preferences, with many gluten free and vegetarian options. Just all in all a great option.
