Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots Across Southwest Orlando, Orlando

Mariesa Baker

Great food, for celiacs! They have a house made GF bread.

A new absolute must for my family when we come to universal! Unexpectedly reasonable prices and genuinely fantastic food that you wouldn’t normally get at a theme park. The inside atmosphere was a lovely cross between whimsical under the sea, elegant and cozy. I can’t think of anywhere else I would rather end our long (but awesome!) day. Servers were fantastic, friendly, attentive and charismatic, everything you’d want them to be. There were even great options for my mom and her gluten allergy! Only drawback is it was absolutely freezing inside. Noticeably colder than regular chilly air conditioning in the summer, and we were so uncomfortable, we asked to be moved outside (which ended up being beautiful so no real problem).

We ate here two times in a week and had a great time with each visit. The food is good, plentiful, and there are many gluten-free options. The atmosphere is what you expect for a Jimmy Buffet-started restaurant, with continuous videos of his concerts and an erupting Volcano. My kids loved it.

Susan Bradford

Simone provided us above and beyond service today! My gluten allergy was taken very seriously. The chef delivered my food. Great selection for non gluten free folks and a decently good selection for GF folks, including GF soy sauce!

Matt M

There's a pretty good selection of food. The price is fair considering it's location. We didn't have to wait too long before being seated and our stroller was accommodated for. There are some gluten and dairy free options for those who need that consideration.

Kylie Kurzmann

The Gluten Free service here was above and beyond. Our server was fantastic and fully knowledgeable. After I placed my fully GF order, she still got it "approved" by the chefs, which was awesome. It came out clearly marked as 'allergy'. The Atmosphere here is very cool, with a large stage, and live music. Everywhere you look is vibrant and fun true to universal nature!

Mark Polson

Kim and Nicole were on it! Accommodating my son’s gluten intolerance. Refilled drinks in prompted, seemed to really care. Just awesome!

Melissa Gossett

Great place to eat and great experience. Food was delicious and came to our table fast. I especially love the care and attention they took with my food as I have Celiac Disease and needed all my food gluten free with no cross contamination. Chef came out to take my order, she prepared my food to ensure safety and brought it to my table herself covered. I greatly appreciate when I can eat somewhere and know that my food is safe to eat and won’t make me sick. No reaction at all and it was delicious! I had the chicken with roasted potatoes, corn on the cob and lemonade for the drink. Husband had the chicken and ribs and said it was delicious as well. We both loved it!

Carrie Ponce

The food was delicious! Loved the truffle fries. They offer a gluten-free bun.

Delaney

Delicious! Had gluten free buns and seltzers! Great service.

Mariah Perez

I have a gluten allergy and was very well taken care of. The assistance chef Heidi was very helpful and took her time preparing my order separately. 10/10 would recommend, thank you Heidi!

Dale Rigdon

Without a doubt the best dining experience we have had at a theme park and our new favorite restaurant at the parks. My wife had the roasted chicken which features a Moroccan inspired flavor profile. It is served on a potato cake with root vegetables. Each element was cooked perfectly. The menu did not indicate it was gluten free but the chef was kind enough to assure us that it was (so either the menu had not been updated with the new item or it was modified). I had the seared tuna noodle bowl. It is served cool and has a higher spiciness so maybe not for everyone. This was truly an elevated meal that we would have been happy with at any restaurant. We honestly felt that the meal was a bargain for its quality and portion. How often can you say that about a restaurant inside a theme park? Don't sleep on Confisco.

Colleen King

Truthfully I haven’t been to a PF Changs in a long time but I am so happy I went back. The service was really great your staff is so well trained in customer service. Jessica was our server and she guided me through the gluten free options available. When I took my first bite I had to call her over and have her verify it was gluten free. It was so good that I was in disbelief! Thank you so much ! I will be back!

Aryn McKnatt

so delicious!! and so many gluten free options! my mom (gluten intolerant) and I were so happy- the coconut chicken soup, pad thai, and dessert were so yummy and filling. highly recommend!

Dale Rigdon

This place is such a great amenity for Cabana Bay. There is something for everyone. My wife has a gluten allergy and the chef prepared her a meal to accommodate her dietary needs. WE ate two meals here during our stay. I had churrasco beef and then the super salad. My wife had gluten free pizza and gluten free chicken nuggets. The salad was probably the best salad I have had in a very long time and felt like a great value at under $10. The gluten free chicken nuggets were top notch. Glad to report that my wife had no adverse reactions after eating here. Don't make a special trip here if you are not staying on property, but if you are there take advantage of the options.

Lynn Sweet

Let your server know that you need GF!

Cindy Jefcoat

Had a great time, our chef was Wee, he made my gluten-free meal amazing and was hilarious

Ross H.

This, by far, was one of the best hotel restaurants we've ever experienced! It had a great mood, day or night, great lighting, and spacious. The staff were awesome, including the hosts and the waiters. We had Jeremy multiple times and we was awesome. The menu includes multiple Gluten-free items, and the kitchen has separate facilities when making those items. This was perfect for us with one of kids having Celiac. We ate both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant multiple times. Although the prices were high (no surprise, it's a theme-park resort hotel), the food was always great! Breakfast buffet has tons of options, definitely try it.

Hillary

Gluten free and vegan available!

Jenny Gould

Hats off to Chef Chad. My grandson is Celiac and becomes very ill if gluten is in his food either directly or through cross contamination. We spoke with Chef Chad who was very knowledgeable. He took the time to speak to my 9 year old grandson and prepared and personally delivered his safe meal. He made him feel special which was much appreciated. We were at Universal for 3 days and had lunch at Finnigans twice. We are Canadian and will spread the word on how amazing our experience was at Finnigans.

Tucked in a corner in the Jurassic area, we got an outdoor table facing where the Jurassic water ride splashes down. You can find a seat & order from the app, or have someone get a table & you can order at the register. But you need to know the table number. They deliver the food to you. My rotisserie chicken salad was excellent! So freaking good. My hubby got pork nachos that he said were good, not great. We both loved watching the water ride while we ate. If you are gluten free, they had lots of options that were clearly marked.

Marc Sing

Great food and great service as always!!! Wife has Celiac and the menu was filled with wonderful gluten free options!! Their low calorie options were great as well!! The sesame ginger chicken was great! We always love coming to The Cheesecake Factory and this time was another reason why we will be back!

Andrea Tremols

Sadly disappointed by this restaurant. We went out of our way to come here as I had heard it was very accommodating for gluten free individuals. Our server was terrible and not accommodating at all. He made us feel as though we weren’t wanted and he didn’t want to be there which I can understand having worked in food and bev but a good waiter never show that, especially at a restaurant at this price point. The gluten free empanadas were excellent but make sure to ask that it goes to the gluten free fryer. The mocktails were also very yummy as was the soup but don’t get the chicken wings. They are overpriced and mediocre in flavor. While food was decent with service this bad we won’t be back.

Stacey Pearce

We had Christina who was so lovely and welcoming. She made us all feel at home and was very knowledgeable about gluten free foods etc would highly recommend

Charlize Benenati

Excellent service here. The chef came out for gluten allergy. The cashier Justin was super friendly. I recommend the Tots Carnitas for a quick lunch.

Sabrina “beautiful jewel” Carty

I visited Orlando with my family and after a full day at Disney we stopped at Giordano's for dinner. I got a gluten free pizza and it was the BEST gf pizza I have ever had. It didn't taste like cardboard and had so much flavor. Our server Carlos was exceptionally nice and attentive. I would 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

Keenan

Fantastic food. I had the chicken fusion bowl and the chicken was delicious, very well flavored. My wife is gluten free and had plenty of tasty food options as well.

Pilar Rodriguez Formoso

Exquisite always does not fail, it has a GLUTEN FREE / GLUTEN FREE menu, since any burger can be ordered with gluten free bun (gluten free bread)

S G

Great pizza, loved the gluten-free option. Owner super friendly, loved the fact of tasting another pizza slice. Can’t go wrong eating there.

Hannah Gray

I came here with my son on a mommy-son date, and I was so impressed with our food and service. Our server, Eduardo, was amazing. He was very attentive and very knowledgeable. They have a lot of gluten-free options here which made it wonderful to be able to have a normal meal. Also, the gluten-free pizza cookie for dessert was amazing. Our service was fabulous and made for a wonderful dining experience. We do not live close by, but if we are back in the area, we would definitely dine there again.

Evie Tripolitis

Friendly local spot. Lots of Gluten Free and Vegan options! I got a soup and added rice noodles. Hot means hot but really good!

Jennifer Murray

Amazing place to eat! It is a unique concept with delicious food and gluten-free options. I encourage everyone to give it a try!

Tom Bergeron

really good gluten free food fries are in a separate fryer. nice to have fries and a burger and a bun in a theme park, super rare for me.

Kat Mur

I was excited to try this place because it is one of the few that offers gluten free pizza. The gluten free bbq chicken pizza didn’t disappoint, it was delicious. We also got the one called “the works” and that one wasn’t great. Green peppers and some of the mushrooms on top seemed raw which you normally don’t find on a pizza. We also weren’t served any complimentary bread. My husband asked for some hot sauce and was told they didn’t have any, then he decided to ask another staff member and they said they had some Cholula, which was fine. They brought it out on a tiny plate already poured out which was weird and inconvenient considering we don’t wanna dip our pizza in the sauce but just wanted to have some on top. Overall I wouldn’t rate CPK high but I’m giving them 4 stars because of the gluten free option.

Jeanette Royer

Amazing service Alex! Food awesome. Would love more gluten free options but there is always a work around! White Peach Bellini's were so good!

Duncan Magendanz

We were warmly greeted upon arrival and informed that, unfortunately, there was a short wait for a table. However, we could leave a number, and they estimated it would be about 15 minutes. Just 8 minutes later, they found us waiting in the lobby and invited us inside. Once seated, we were quickly taken care of, receiving our drinks and food in a very reasonable time. Our waiter checked in about our preferred spice levels, ensuring every dish was perfectly spiced for our group. He even recommended the right amount of food, and everything turned out delicious. We felt welcome throughout the entire experience. My wife has Celiac disease and cannot have gluten, but this didn’t slow them down at all. They were knowledgeable about her dietary needs and handled her allergy with care. Overall, it was an absolutely amazing dinner with great food and stellar service.

Marie-Hélène Lanthier

Super Gluten-Free options

Kerry Blucker

Had a great meal after visiting the theme parks. So happy to know they serve gluten free pancakes and they also have Impossible sausage. The veggie egg white was awesome! Everything was FRESH!! Nekesha was our server and she was incredible. My kids said she’s the G.O.A.T. We will definitely be back!

Tica María

Calvin the waiter was extraordinary--he gave excellent service the best we have had our entire stay here at the Lowe's, Portofino, or in Universal Park. He went above and beyond even offered to steam the almond milk for my coffee. The restaurant itself has beautiful classic Italian decor. The food quality is solid, but Calvin the waiter was extra special to my daughter with her gluten allergy and made menu recommendations and was so helpful. Highly recommend and if you need an excellent waiter request Calvin💕💕💕

Clare Richardson

Great burger. The veggies are fresh, the flavor is amazing, and they do gluten free! I told the chef I have celiac and he cooked my burger separately. They have gluten free buns, the cheese sauce is gluten free, and they have tater tots for us gluten free folks! Would highly recommend. It was an experience.

Brit Thompson

Kaylee is so sweet! I have a gluten allergy and she went above and beyond to make sure I had a great lunch. Felt safe knowing she cared as much as she did about my allergy! Food was phenomenal per usual. That GF calamari is too good! Thanks for a beautiful experience, Kaylee!!!

Star Gate 963

The food is hot & fresh! This is not fast food and a fresh breath of air. I'll never need nor return to fast food after finding this delightful place to dine. You can order at the table and they take it to you. The veggie burger, gluten free bun, grilled chicken sandwich and soft serve ice cream are fantastic! I didn't care for the older music but the food is worth it.

Trinity Bea

Javi and team were so accommodating and amazing to us on our first visit! I got to customize my meal to make it a gluten free chicken sandwich and let’s just say - I can’t wait to come back to Orlando. From the moment we walked in, everyone was as welcoming and friendly! Thank you all so much!

isabel faust

hamid has been our server twice now and he’s always super nice. I don’t eat gluten and he’s been very kind answering my questions.

Natalie Ray

Our waiter Esteban was amazing perfect service the perfect attention but not hovering! Food was amazing he asked about my gluten allergy and made sure it was okay that the corn tortillas and chips were cross contaminated. I don’t have celiac so it wasn’t an issue, but if you do have celiac and go here then I would choose something not fried but it was incredible!!

Marianna H

Arturo was amazing! And Kiara was truly awesome as well! Went there for my boyfriend’s graduation and I could not have picked a better place! They also have gluten free options!

Coco Milan

Great pizza and great service. Everyone was so nice. Plus, they have gluten-free crust for no additional charge, which is amazing.

Sierra Washington

Chloe was such a great bartender ! She made us awesome drinks and recommended great options that were gluten and vegan friendly !
