Top 13 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Irving

Kenneth Todd

Asked for a drink menu, and the waitress said, it's in the regular menu, with an attitude. Then left us waiting for 15 minutes. We clearly wanted to order a second drink, but she was not interested in giving us service. We loved that the menu was Gluten Free, but it wasn't worth the price. The drink we ordered was $20 each, which ended up being very nice. We would have ordered more drinks and desert, but it just didn't work out. The manager noticed our displeasure and sent our waitress over, in which the waitress responded by walking up and asking, 'did you need something?' She was not kind. We spent over $100 for an appetizer and one shared meal and 2 drinks total. Would have spent more, but not while being ignored and disrespected. From my perspective, the food was not worth the price.

I was really looking forward to trying Original Chop Shop in Las Colinas because they offer gluten-free options. I ordered the gluten-free egg wrap on Monday night, but sadly, they gave me the regular one that contains gluten🫠As someone with gluten intolerance, that’s NOT a small mistake!!it’s a serious health risk!!! It’s now Friday, and I’m still dealing with the pain and discomfort from that meal. It’s been a really rough week, and I just hope the staff takes more care with dietary restrictions moving forward. I know mistakes happen, but for people with food sensitivities or allergies, it really matters.

The power had just gone out when we came in. We decided to stay to see if it would pop back on and it did. The service was awesome, very friendly. They didn't have cauliflower crust that day, which is my favorite, but they did still have the gluten free crust. They are in the process of switching soda machines, so no 'good' sodas (but should be back the first week in November). All the tables had issues - they were either dirty or very wobbly. The place just looked a little run down. Pizza was good though - love the variety of toppings!

Food was okay. I used to frequent this place, and the gluten free flatbread was great. Years later it tastes like a kids lunchable pizza. Tomato soup was just okay also. I ordered first of a large group and got my food about 15 minutes after everyone else, and my group was the only ones in the restaurant. It was my fiancé’s first time eating at a Modern Market chain, and I had hyped it up, but sadly it did not live up to the hype. We won’t be back unless they improve their food quality.

Andrew

Good, clean, friendly. Fast. There are some gluten free options (burger without bun).

Love it here!! Food is Amazing!!! Ask for Soloman when you dine here!! Excellent customer service!!! I had the chicken picatta and they were able to make it gluten free!!! Lots of gluten free choices if you have an allergy. Will be back again!!!!

Abelin Siriban Pitrello

Overall great experience. Loved the baked wings and the gluten free crust. It was a nice quiet experience with the family for dinner. It was a bit more expensive for a pizza dinner.

Have gone here for years because they had wonderful gluten free pancakes. On this visit I ordered the GF pancakes only to be told many minutes after I ordered that they no longer serve them. Very disappointed and will not be coming back. Editing to add that the only GF Item I was offered was a gluten free English muffin. The GF waffle was not offered or even expressed to still be on the menu. Staff should be trained to offer that if pancakes are not available.

Melissa Fleming

Busy restaurant, but it was easy to hold a conversation with my dinner mates. We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated within a few minutes. The menu selection was great, Gluten free items listed clearly and lots to choose from. Everyone was happy with their meals and service was great!

Nicole Amundson

The lady at the register was so kind and figured out which foods had wheat in them for us. It's nice finding a place with gluten free options. We tried the fish, brisket and beef fajita tacos and thought they were great.

Frost Byte

Amazing food and very healthy! They even have gluten free options and plenty of them. Thank you for the great meal and service Cowboy Chicken!!

Rimple Saraf

You can create your own meal from a wide variety of greens, vegetables, proteins, and toppings, catering to various dietary preferences like vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options. Their house-made dressings, which range from creamy to vinaigrette styles, add flavor diversity.

Amazing gluten free thin crust halal meat lovers pizza! It is rare to find a halal place that offers gluten free options and not only do they offer gluten free but it’s so delicious! My husband isn’t gluten free and he said he couldn’t even tell the difference.

Me F

Always good gluten-free cauliflower crust. Not super greasy! Love it.

Romy Wilson

Live my avocado toast gluten free toast ! Order to go was wrong, one time ! Made a phone call. Manager was so apologetic, and breakfast on them next time! Excellent place to eat.

Krystin Dennis

The food was good. My steak was cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor. The sweet potato casserole was delicious and the coleslaw was a nice creamy slaw that wasn't too sweet or vinegary. I tried the tequila toasted marshmallow drink and immediately ordered a 2nd one. My partner said his burger was tasty and they had a gluten free bun for him. I would definitely stop by again when I travel through the area.

Carlos Petrocelli

Today 05/11/21, we ordered Chick-fil-A from this location. My coworker, who only eats Gluten Free food, ordered a GF chicken sandwich. It turned out that the bun had MOLD in it. Look at the picture. I just cannot understand how this location missed following Quality and Food Safety practices. Besides ruining today’s lunch time, now we’re concerned about our coworker’s health. I hope that someone at CFA in Atlanta sees this. Unacceptable!!

Jas

The food, the atmosphere were spot on. Our server Brenda paid special attention to my gluten allergy and was super sweet. Will definitely be back.👍👍

Gina Scheer

Mitch helped me arrange a dinner for 33 here. The staff was AMAZING with plenty of servers helping keep food on the table and glasses full. They had a set menu ready for everyone to choose from, including a gluten-free option. They were so easy to work with, and attentive, and the food was delicious!!!

Katrina Ekman

Excellent meal. Server went outta his way to accommodate my gluten intolerance. 😊 tyvm

Matthew Post

Amazing beer selection and they have a gluten free bun that stays together

Angel Wilmoth

They took such care preparing mine and my daughter’s gluten and dairy free pizza. They were so careful not to cross contaminate, and everyone was so kind! I will definitely be coming back🤗

Kaylie Kerr

Honestly the best Pei Wei I’ve been to! Always clean, tons of space to sit. Food is made quickly. They’ve never gotten my order wrong and the food has always been delicious! As someone with Celiac, I appreciate that they have safe gluten free options and I’ve never gotten sick from the food here. Manager is really nice too.

Stephen Meyer

The food was decent enough... At least what I could eat. I called in advance to verify that they had a bunch for their plant based burger, that was vegan, as they have the bun specifically listed as brioche on the menu. The person attending to the phone stated they had a plant based burger. I asked to verify if the bun was vegan. He had to put me on hold and check. He came back and said they had a gluten free bun. I again asked to verify that it was vegan, because gluten free and vegan are not the same and that often gluten free buns need egg as a binder without gluten. He said, yes it was vegan. Got to the restaurant and it was busy. The waitress was rather dismissive. I inquired on the bun again, you can do a lettuce wrap. I asked to order the brussel sprouts to start and reiterated that I was vegan and requested to remove the bacon and anything else that was a animal product. They came back coated in parmesan. The waitress had to be flagged down for the check, there weren't any offers of refills. The atmosphere is cool, but they chose the route of cramming in as many tables as possible, so getting to an exit or the restroom, you have to ask people if you can pass, as they have standing tables blocking the path to the restroom. Seems like they appeal to many as they were packed, but don't seem to care much for people with dietary needs or preferences, as their staff doesn't know the menu and are dismissive once they know you have said needs.

I love Tex Mex and torchys has the best queso around plus several options for gluten free tacos. Stay away from the chips though as they are in a shared fryer.

Jill Carter

Very cute decor. My New York obsessed daughter was impressed. My son enjoyed the gluten free pizza but it's not safe for Celiac Disease.

Laura Smothers-Chu

Bill (the owner) gave my family a warm welcome for our first visit, and shared our excitement about dairy-free and gluten-free desserts. We bonded more with Bill more than any other store owner ever! He was also very good with my toddler who was staying busy, running around and moving chairs. Luckily it was close to closing time 😂 I was a little sad that vaall the ice cream there had dairy (but they have alternative milks for the boba tea, and they offer caffeine free blue butterfly tea). I took a chance on their ice cream, and to my surprise, my lactose intolerance wasn’t nearly as bad with their ice cream than in other places!! I think it’s because they get their dairy super fresh! The shop also offers free samples of ice cream, and the unique Wedding Cake flavor was my favorite — vanilla with chocolate and an almond cake (?) crumble. If you’re dairy free and/or gluten free, I highly recommend checking out this new place! And letting Bill know that you would buy dairy-free ice cream if he offered it 😊

Mel Linnemeyer

Even with a very respectable 4.7 stars, this restaurant is UNDERrated. Gorgeous decor, wonderful drink and food menu, attentive and knowledgeable staff (shout out to Rafael for the phenomenal care!), flavorful plates, generous portions, exquisite presentation, complimentary valet parking, ... the list goes on. On top of all that, the chef was very accommodating with my [gluten- free] food restrictions. Due to Via Reál being an experience and fair portions, the ticket arrived apropos. Would recommend their baby shrimp ceviche, Camarones a la Diabla, and their bone- in pork loin.

Stacey Smith

Love that Shake Shack can do Gluten free buns. Yummy cheeseburger, great fries and added the cheese sauce. If you are looking for a great comfort food meal you will find it here.

Rhoda Martin

My favorite restaurant in Irving or surrounding areas of Dallas. Whether I dine-in or order online pickup the food is always on point. There was only one time when I ordered salmon; it was overcooked. I try to order different entrees and desserts each time. This is by far the best vegan I've had anywhere. This place also offers regular dishes with meat. There are some dishes that are gluten free-Pad Thai. I usually don't care for warm peanut sauces, but very, very, and I mean very delicious. If you visit Dallas and don't mind a 25 minute or so travel, I highly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. Food for everyone

I have celiac disease and consider chipotle a safe place to eat. I came in and let the person know that I was allergic to the tortillas because that’s the only way they will understand. The manager came up and told him that he has to change his gloves and take it all the way down the line and he sassily told his manager “I know what to do” he then told me “I understand, my daughter is a picky eater too” then, before trying to put on my toppings, he touches a tortilla and proceeds to almost touch my food with the same gloves before I had to tell him to stop multiple times. First, someone should not compare an allergy with a “picky eater” I would end up in the hospital if I consume gluten. Second, don’t act like you understand allergies and how to handle them, when you blatantly touch the allergen before touching the customers food. (Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, but the only way restaurants will understand is by saying allergy)

Keelie Reason

This was a great place to eat. They have gluten free steak, and have corn Tortillas. I was able to get great fajitas. They made sure everything was dairy free too.

Ivelisse Escribano

You can design your own sushi and find plenty of gluten-free options including their GF soy sauce! Our dog loves their salmon so much he walks us there and paws on us when he hears the term Go-fish poke. 🤣 vid available

Nicky Vicky

Very good option for all you can eat sushi. Quality was good and the service was great. They did a really good job with providing gluten-free options and accommodating for that.

Ivelisse Escribano

Yummy drinks they cater to non alcoholic and gluten free 😍 great service and view.

Rick Martin

I ate at Corner Bakery yesterday and enjoyed INCREDIBLE care after telling them that I was Celiac and could get sick if I was “glutened”. Initially I was told by the person at the register that all they had was gluten-free bread. Then when I began inquiring about their ability to prevent cross contact, she realized my questions were things she just didn’t know. That’s when she offered to get her manager. I then complimented her integrity by telling her that not everyone is willing to admit when they don’t know something. Often people will just fake a response. I had the very good fortune of speaking with Brandon who was the GM. He assured me they would take very good care of my breakfast order by using clean equipment that had not been used for cooking gluten containing foods. This included a dedicated toaster for the gluten-free bread. After I was seated he even came from the kitchen to my table to ask me if I needed my meal in a to-go container for safety. I GENEROUSLY thanked him for his concern but told him, with a smile, that regular plates and utensils were fine as long as they had been washed. 😉 I experienced absolutely no ill effects from my delicious meal and I would eat here again without hesitation! Five stars!

Kristen Juarez

They have gluten free pancakes!!! Nothing amazing about IHOP... However, I was completely shocked that they offer gluten friendly waffles AND pancakes. Pancakes were great!! Service was really good too.

Sanjana Yella

They're so sweet and understanding of food restrictions. Pizza can be made gluten free, pasta can be made low fod map/ Jain (no onion no garlic no eggs). The Alfredo pasta is my favorite, prices are reasonable and the portions are generous! Great service. Angel hair pasta was not my favorite, but gyro sandwich was great.

Brenda Otterson

Great Costa Rican food including gluten free!

Siarhei Labetsik

Thank you for your attention to detail and good service, Catherine. They have gluten free and vegetarian options. The interior is also very nice.

Cassaundra Chouhan

Love the fact that they do the lettuce wrap!!! And one of the very few that ACTUALLY put effort into it. That S***t is hard to pull off, especially when using iceberg. And for those whom are Celiac like me. As long as you stay from that Cajun 😒 I haven't reacted yet.

Kristen

Love Jasons Deli. The order process online needs help. Gluten menu isn't working 100% any more. I have to work around it. Location comes up in a different state even though my location setting is on. Tried to send feedback, said no surveys at this time. :(

Shay Bareni

Probably the best Mediterranean buffet in Dallas!!! Fresh, clean, lots of delicious options including gluten free and dairy free! Authentic flavors and they probably have the best hummus in town! No joke! The staff is friendly and the place is welcoming. To dine alone or with a big or a small party! Decent price for every pocket! Best experience! You have got to check this place out. Highly recommended!

Becky SIWWI

This is a hidden gem of an ice cream shop. The ice cream and cones are made there and are so delicious! There is a large verity of flavors and gluten free and non dairy choices.

Phyllis W

I made reservations for this place on open table not realizing it’s inside the Ritz Carlton. You do have to put a card on file. I went during the week and it was a packed night. My only complaint is I wish we could’ve gotten a table more inward, instead we were seated next to the window and could feel the draft from the 20 degree temps outside. They start you off with bread then offer you a small sample from the chef and at the end you get another complimentary bite size treat. The food was good. They were able to accommodate my gluten free needs with two choices of pasta. I want to go back just to take pictures.

Nic Yarbro

Best pizza in las colinas! Friendly staff. Good gluten free crust.

RJ GJ

Yummy foods and gluten free options. Great service, too.

Nicole Amundson

One of my new favorite local restaurants. Yummy drinks and food. I'm happy they have gluten free options.
