Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots Across Knoxville

Miranda Wilson

Liked 3 of the 4 items that we purchased. Veggie Quiche, Lemon bars, and mixed berry scone were okay. Although, the only berry we found was blackberry. The sausage cheddar scone had a very dry and sandy texture which is surprising, especially since everything is gluten-free. I would think that they would have gotten the texture better.

Michelle DiDonato

Delicious! It’s nice to go to eat and have so many gluten free options! I enjoyed everything!

chloe conley

Amazing place to eat! If you are gluten free you need to try this place. VERY celiac safe.

Mgr called me ( after I placed a mobile order via their app) to inquire about gluten allergy cause 1 item I ordered was The Beast on a GF bun. He wanted to inform me that their black bean burger isn’t GF because it contains wheat. Kudos for paying attention & taking the time to call me regarding this matter. Mooyah is 1 of our favorite places for takeout fast food burgers & fries. I ❤️ their black bean burger!

Lydia Marks

The atmosphere was awesome, the food and coffee were delicious and I will definitely be coming back! I’m very sensitive to gluten and didn’t have any reaction to their gluten free crepes with sausage and egg. It was also very tasty and filling!

Michelle Wolf

A diverse menu with many options suitable for our dietary needs and preferences. Gluten sensitive was available as well as vegetarian. Excellent service. Very clean.

Gabriel Benjamin

Zoie P was a great server! Fast service, helpful information on dietary restrictions for Gluten Free people! Can’t wait to come back!

Kieron Torres

Great gluten free options, including GF, cauliflower, and keto crusts. I could even get the half pizza meal with those crusts. The spicy sauce is definitely spicy, and everyone enjoyed their pizza. Helpful service. I found a Blaze pizza near me, so that's my new local pizza place.

Tegan

They had wonderful tamales! Celiac and gluten free friendly!

Brianna Plouff

The food was amazing! Everything tasted fresh. Fantastic gluten free menu. I’ll definitely DoorDash from them again.

We stopped in for an early dinner as the temps outside were in the mid 90s. One of those days you know you need to eat but don't want something heavy on the stomach. This was the perfect place for that type of meal. They have many gluten free options and even accommodated my wife's onion allergy. She had the stir fry with chicken and sticky rice. I had the beef laab with the veggies as a side. Both were excellent. Note that their laab is spicy. It's a slow Thai chili heat but was a high medium or low hot level by the time i finished my dish. Their chicken broth and sticky rice will be what im getting next time I'm sick and want some comfort food. Our waiter was great. The only ding is the space. The tables are tight. Not so tight that I was nudging my neighbor with my elbow but 6" less and I definitely would have. It won't keep me from coming back for sure as the food was just that good. Just don't expect much privacy in conversation if that's what you're looking for.

It's ok - maybe not my kind of place but my daughter who has to have Gluten free food says that it's the best for her - also I ordered a Salty Dog - adult drink - it was made wrong - it had no salt

Kelly Williams

The gluten-free lamb burger was delicious. The gluten-free bun was the best I have eaten. Garrett the bartender was knowledgeable about celiac disease and made a delicious old-fashioned!

Laura Kaylor

As someone with severe reactions to gluten and soy, the staff were fantastic about answering questions about ingredients and ensured no cross contamination. Everything we ordered was amazing and our waitress Abbigail was fantastic!

Benjamin Peterson

I ordered a burger and a Reuben to go. I put in the notes. Ruben is to have gluten-free bun. I double checked before the order was placed. My daughter went in to pick it up and the bun was not gluten-free. She politely asked for that to get changed out, the very large lady with pink hair was extremely rude and cleared at her the whole time. It would’ve been way easier for her to just change out the bun and say have a great evening but instead she went Out of her way to make my daughter feel bad. This is unacceptable. We have been to Aubrey’s many times and I’ve always had amazing service. So this review is only reflection of one employee in particular as a whole. Aubrey’s has always been great.

Sarah Snow

We LOVE this taco hub! This is one of the only places my husband (who is very allergic to gluten) can find hard taco shells. Laney was our server this time and was fabulous! Everyone we’ve ever had wait on us here has been wonderful. The tacos are second to none. We LOVE love love this restaurant; it’s our favorite here! If you’re on the fence, go! Support local artists (the place is full of local art!) and delightful tacos!

Eduardo Padron

Fast and delicious. Good service. Standard dining area. Tasty burgers. Gluten free burger buns available.

Deanna Houser

I absolutely love Mellow Mushroom, it’s one of my go to restaurants. I absolutely love that they accommodate my gluten free allergy. They take all safety precautions into consideration when it comes to gluten free foods. They have several gluten free pizza options and a gluten free brownie! Not to mention their friendly service!

Jammie Davis

Blaze has great gluten free pizza!!! I love the options and have been going here since day one that they opened. The service is sometimes off but it’s what happens unfortunately when the staff turnover is very quick.

Landon Rayfield

This is a family favorite when family is in town from Florida with gluten allergies

The Rose

This is my favorite place to eat vegan and gluten free!

Patti Coble

I love love love Kooky Cookies! I have to follow a gluten free diet and these are THE BEST! The oatmeal cream stuffed cookies are my favorite, but I've never had anything from here I wouldn't buy again!

Lorraine Hewin

THE Bartenders are attentive, the food is made for my gluten issues.delicious! HAPPY Hour is festive,and you can take home an entree for 10.99!

Cooper Cowan

This place is the real deal! My gf and I have eaten here twice in one day. Everything on the menu is delicious and the service is fantastic. Huge portions too. They are also very celiac friendly and I always feel safe when I eat here. Favorite restaurant in Knoxville!

Christy Capps

A great pizza buffet. There is also a salad bar to help make you feel less glutenous.

Susanne Forst

I am gluten free and dairy free and ordered a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese, mushrooms, spinach and pepperoni. It was delicious!

Anitra Cole

This is a cute little place with good food and a great place to take the kids. It is in a strip mall in Knoxville. The place has a 80’s gaming vibe. The music is from the 80’s but not the original artists. Some of menu items are named after video game characters. They played anime shows on the TV. The decor was video game character figurines, posters, etc. You place your order at the counter or via the QR code and they bring the food to your table. I had the morning after burger which had bacon and egg on the burger. Very tasty. My husband had the same burger but with a gluten free bun. Tater tots were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They have 7 stand up video games from the 80’s like Asteroids, Centipede, Burger Time, Ms PAC Man, etc. and the games were free!!! It was a little dark in there at some of the tables so just be aware. It is not a very big place so it could be an issue if you have a very big group and there are other diners.

Sidney Geldmeyer

Great vibe, and better food! Kitchen staff was knowledgeable about gluten sensitivity and came out to correct our order out of extra caution to avoid a food that had gluten in it!

Gail Brouillette

Gluten-free options are available (and very good), extremely polite, friendly staff, and the restaurant is always clean. Huge food portions! Definitely recommend!🤗

Jen F

Holy moly this ice cream is where it’s at! First lick of my cone was like licking ice cream made up of real butter. Thankful they had a gluten free cone too. Super delicious, but this place is going to ruin all other ice cream for me because none of it will ever taste as good as this did.

Samantha Posey

I always have the best time here! Me and my boyfriend are obsessed with the pasta bravo! And being gluten free they have sooooo many options! Basically any pasta can be turned gluten free which is such a plus!

Ashley Talford

The atmosphere was very laid back and open seating outside with plenty of elbow room away from the other tables. Friendly staff. I had the hangover burger with fries and a side salad with the strawberry vinaigrette. Everything tasted phenomenal and fresh! Will be back again. Sister got the Patriot burger with gluten free bun and she said the bun tasted good and didn't taste like the generic gluten free bun.

Samuel Mangin

Some of the best food in Knoxville. Gluten free options and very affordable too!

Jammie Davis

Great food!!!! Love the food and the menu!! This place is a treat for a gluten free person!!! They have so many great options. I go every time I can!!

Gavin McCormack

I came here with my girlfriend on our 1 year anniversary and the service was phenomenal. Our server, Noel, catered the gluten free experience perfectly. She caught everything and was extremely sociable. 10/10

Great food and people. Tried the gluten free pizza and it’s one of the best I’ve every tried

Laura Cox

Delicious gluten free sandwich in a unique environment. It was a little hard for me to find the restaurant but once I did, it was worth the hunt!

Cooper Cowan

This location is extremely celiac friendly! When I mentioned I had celiac disease, Carolyn at the counter immediately changed gloves and washed her hands. She also told the other people working down the line to as well. Masterclass in customer service!

The first time we went the staff were rude so we didn’t eat. We went back last night and there were different workers on staff (including the owner) who were nicer so we ate. Wish we hadn’t. The good: french fries were great, but also a very small portion. The bad: the burgers were dominated by the cheese taste which is at best a very cheap grade of orange American cheese. The regular bun had a bitter crust and deflated to chewy flat and tasteless after the first bite. The gluten free bun was dry, and crumbled into an uneatable mess. I specifically asked for no bacon but was charged for and received bacon. I don’t eat pork, but for $1.75 it appeared to be a very fatty cut of the meat and only two slices which were about 2 inches each. Out of all the toppings, (and I got them all) the only discernible taste was mustard and ketchup. A shame since there were two kinds of onions, jalapeños and many other flavors that I would have loved to experience on my burger. The actual ground beef patties were very pretty much flavorless even plain. Overall, it took way too long to get our order (and the burgers were actually cold as soon as we picked them up) The price was not commensurate to the quality at $20 per person not counting a tip which we always gladly include. The only “upgrade” I asked for was the gluten-free bun and because I asked for everything except cheese and bacon on my burger I was also charged for ketchup which interestingly came on the side in a cup as well as on the burger. I mention this because the other person in our party didn’t have any side of ketchup with their meal and they also ordered a plain Build Your Own burger with fries— a real shame that you have to pay $2 extra to have onions and sauce removed from your sandwich. I had high hopes for this establishment based on all the hype it’s received, but sadly, it appears to be based more on the excitement of the locale and Randy Boyd’s politics rather than real patrons who value quality and consistency in their dining experience.

The gluten free options are not readily identifiable. They give you a list of things “with” gluten, so you navigate the menu and avoid anything containing those items. I wanted nachos, with no crispy onions. Every other ingredient was ok according to my list. The waitress was not knowledgeable. I asked her to ask the kitchen. They said there were too many gluten containing ingredients, but did not specify what they were. Very disappointed. I was told they have a lot of gluten free “sides”. I didn’t come for the sides. 👎🏻 I ended up not getting anything.

Donna McClure

Finally got to go for a late lunch. I was not disappointed. I received a gluten feee menu at the front. My server was extremely knowledgeable about gluten free options and when I asked a question he wasn’t 100% sure of, he asked the kitchen staff. I had the steak burger on a gluten free bun (which was delicious) with cheddar mashed potatoes and a gluten free brownie with a kahlua chocolate sauce. It was delicious. The staff was great, the atmosphere was laid back and easy and the food was extremely good. A new safe go to place for me!

Shane Delaney

I wish the gluten free option was cooked away from contamination but for a pizza place it's understandable.. seen Evan Honer. Server was awesome

Tom Pierce

Took my wife here for our anniversary and she’s got Celiac so it’s very rare that’s she can eat at a restaurant without having bad side effects. Our server Ozzy was very helpful, patient and meticulous going over the menu with my wife; specifically concerning food allergies. Ozzy even ran back to the kitchen three times to double check for us. Wife never had negative side effects, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was worth every penny

First time eating here… I absolutely loved it!! Super chill sitting outside and watching the slow motion of passersby’s. The food was very simple but healthy and well plated. It’s by far the best tomato soup I have ever had. The lamb sandwich was easy to eat and filling. It needed a little salt but so what. Ethan was the “hostess with the mostest”. Sorry.. he is male, but I like that saying. He gave us the information on their honey supplier and the fly fans they had on the table, which I quickly ordered. My last note is you HAVE to get the chocolate peanut butter gluten free cookie. Omg…. I’m a sugar addict. These are so GD good! Omg… I went for another, and they were sold out!! Go for the agave mocktail too!!

Tammie Ball

Having Celiac disease and going out to eat is not always an easy task. I enjoyed a burger and brew or drink, as advertised on Monday's. Cheddar burger with all of the dressing. I had the baked potato as my side item. Sweet tea with a lemon to drink. I really enjoyed my burger. It was hot and fresh.
