Top 49 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Ames

Emily Wright

My experience was great especially as someone that has celiacs and gets sick easily with cross contamination. They have a designated gluten free menu with so many options which I feel like is so hard to come by. Their staff was also on top of it. They make sure that they mark it as an allergy when putting through the order and then shortly after I ordered a manager came to our table to make sure that she had correct everything that I specifically ordered to ensure that they were extra careful handling my food. And while I never expect restaurants to be able to really accommodate me because it is difficult when they handle so many different gluten products It felt so nice to feel “normal” getting to eat out and feeling safe doing so. I truly can not say enough good things about my experience and the staff and give a huge kudos as I know they are like this with others who may have other sensitivities or allergies. Absolutely will make the two hour drive back to eat here again.

Some of the best gluten free pizza. Also everything is fresh and good. Love the blood orange lemonade.

We visited the Ames location for the first time for a birthday and it was delicious! The service was prompt and attentive. Great selection of mocktails. Loved that it is quiet and you can easily carry on a conversation with others--even in a large group. Lots of gluten free options if you need those!

Ed LeQuire

Amazing atmosphere and even better food. Staff is pretty chill. Great gluten free options. The whole family is happy.

Jennifer Marcus

This isn't a fancy style reseraunt but for something quick on the go that has non dairy and wheat free options, this is a nice place to stop. I enjoy eating the pad Thai with rice noodles since I don't eat wheat or gluten. Low cost for a good portion size and tastes good.

Kate Perman

I have a very severe allergy to gluten and eat at chick-fil-a often. I went here and requested a gluten free bun as well as them to change gloves, wash hands, etc. I was then given a glutinous bun and no refund. Will never eat at this location again.

Our server and both cooks were great and the food was amazing. My son has celiac so dining out is difficult, but huhot is now his favorite restaurant.

Brandi Johnson

It is a great place to enjoy food really good food. They have gluten-free options for fish and burgers, which is a huge awesome. I hope to see the menu grow. The owner is very involved. A safe place. They did have a good selection of games to play in the corner, but it needs to be restocked. The parking is awful, but trivia is so fun. Trivia Tom is the best, and Cam is your go-to for anything. Melissa knows how to pour a proper Guinness. I love how involved the owner is within the community. You'll see him mowing grass, fixing things, and still will stop to have a good chat. Best of all, dog friendly outside area.

Gluten free price is right

Clare O'Malley

We live in Minneapolis and needed a gluten-free or gluten-friendly place to eat between Omaha and home. I am so glad we found this place! Delish. I got the nutty walleye and it was awesome. My daughter loved her pesto grilled cheese. And the gluten-free desserts were awesome! The kids raved about this meal. Our server Jalene was attentive as well.

Katie Tibbles

Service was slow, we ordered with our drinks and it still took over 30 minutes for our food, it was a Sunday night. We had to ask for refills. I can't have gluten, talked to the waitress about it, so she brought me my salad with croutons on it. Ordered endless shrimp and they were...ok, not much flavor, but the wood fired shrimp were good. Will put my money at the many other options in Ames, but not here.

Erik Donner

Gluten free options, and they were delicious!! Not since planet sub have I had such a good gluten free sub. ❣️

Sue Taylor

Food was terrific. Gluten free and vegan options available

Jane Burt

Pretty impressed that Culvers offers Gluten free buns and provides a Celiac safe process for preparing my food. The staff was very helpful in helping me decide and did a great job by being so professional and courteous!

Nichole Johnson

The coffe is very good. Lots of menu options including gluten free and dairy alternatives.

Mike Frischmann

Service was great. Room was freezing, I even had a sweatshirt on. Food was mediocre. I ordered street corn bowl with chicken. I was expecting more corn and black beans, I got a few pieces of corn and a few beans with a lot of rice. Chicken was dry. There was no pico de gallo on it and I did not see any cotija cheese. Needed more sauce as whole dish was kind of dry. My sister's fries were too dark. My husband is gluten free so few choices for him. He asked for their homemade potato chips and we had to pay 9.99 for a bowl of chips, as he had to order the truffle potato chips and leave all the seasoning off. Won't go back.

Sarah Manatt

Fantastic atmosphere, wonderful staff, and tremendously delicious food. If you have not been to wasabi in somerset, you MUST try! The menu has something for everyone, including Gluten Free and vegetarian.

Craig Welter

Mullets is a great addition to the breakfast/brunch scene in Ames. Wide-ranging menu and generous portions. Our group really enjoyed our food, and our server was excellent. My wife is gluten free, and they were able to accommodate her with gluten-friendly French toast which is less common than you might think in Ames. Hopefully people will be willing to give this location some grace with any early staffing/service issues they’ve experienced as it becomes more established because it has great potential!

Kenzie K

They have gluten free pizza

Cory Zorn

Gluten-free pizza is very expensive I order gluten-free pizza because I have to not because I want to and then when you tack on a large delivery fee because of that one pizza and a salad over $50 because it's gluten-free not fair I have to have it delivered because I can't drive

Kate Perman

the workers here always brighten my day with their enthusiastic and kind attitudes. amazing food and does a phenomenal job with my gluten allergy. would give them a million stars if i could.

Denise From DC

Absolutely love the pizza at this place. Hubby grew up eating this stuff and I envy him. We used to always get the wheat thick crust which is great. They have honey to spread in the crust--think of it as pre-dessert. This last time we got the white flour thin crust. Delicious! They have all combinations of crusts (Denver!) and I think they even have a gluten-free, but check yourselves. All the tables, chairs, and booths are grimy and the entire place could use a power wash and renovation. It wouldn't be the same as in the 1970's though. 😁

Jason Johnson

Good gluten free options.

An interesting variety of food and drinks, and they even had gluten-free bread! Cute shop and great service!

Corie

Love coming here for place to do my Bible study or writing. I highly recommend the hearty burrito (I get it as a bowl with vegan cheese and I'm Dairy free and Gluten free). It is quite filling and has a lot of protein! The atmosphere is so calming here. 😌 I love it.

Jeremy Darling

Favorite Mexican when we are in Ames. Gluten safe and you can get drinks to go!

austin woodin

Great place for the entire family, we easily found something for everyone in the family to eat and they all loved it. Not always easy for a family of 6 and two gluten free.

Ashley Shoemaker

Amazing staff/ownership. Super helpful with our vegan and gluten free orders! The food was SO good. We will definitely be back!

We love this location and Papa Murphy's in general! :) We love that both my husband and I can eat, as I eat Gluten Free!

Best gluten free in Ames!!!! So workable with diet restrictions and make sure you are accommodated!

Jacob Zirkelbach

I like going here for the pizza and chicken. Has gluten free options, which is great when I wanna go out to eat with some of my friends.

Casie Ostermann

They did a great job accommodating my gluten sensitivity and pregnancy cravings. Food came very fast and hot. The server worked hard and was kind. Food was very good.

John Lockard

Good diversity of options with allergens well marked. Some options, like salmon, could have been made gluten free to provide more gluten free options. Sadly, they were not.

Aaron Peterson

The chicken fried rice was awesome. They also had a number of gluten-free options for my wife. Will definitely come back!

Sasha Goldina

The food is fantastic. Their vegetarian options are great, they can also substitute meat for gluten vegetarian options! I love getting the Vegetarian Sichuan Beef!

I’m a regular here. Good comfortable environment, quick service, and affordable food that hits every time. My favorite is the #3– very filling, I’m addicted to the shoestring fries. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options, that are safe for people with Celiac
