Top 22 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Kirkwood

Good experience here. Breakfast/Brunch was amazing. Most everything is gluten free as well which is fantastic as I have Celiac and it's hard to find safe places to eat. My only complaint is they aren't open Mondays and I have off on Mondays.

This is a different atmosphere but I dig it. The food is great. And I like that they vegan and gluten free options. Very chocolatey shakes too!

I walked out without eating. I have a gluten allergy/celiac and there were too many chances for cross contamination.

Tastes great. The salad had a few leaves that were too sad to eat. Gluten free crust was just ok. Hard to find a good gf crust anywhere.

We had the trashed wings, which were really tasty and are a St. Louis specialty. I was also pleased to see that they offer gluten-free pasta. The service was good, so was their atmosphere.

Healthy and fresh meal at a very fair price point. Easy to eat gluten free and accommodate any allergens/preferences. Everything was well balanced and tasty! I’ll be back for sure. 💗

Nice place for breakfast. Will work with gluten free requirements.

I love Crushed Red and will definitely continue to go! I will say that if people have issues with dairy or gluten, at this specific location I might not risk it, or at least carefully double check what you’re given. I ordered a gluten free folded flatbread and a salad that originally is not supposed to come with any dairy products. When the food came out, I double checked with the server whether the flatbread was gluten free, which is just my habit, I found out that gluten free was not on the kitchen’s ticket. No harm no foul, because they remade it with a gluten free flatbread for free. But I got halfway through my salad and realized there was cheese in the bottom half. I realized after leaving and looking back at the menu that they had just made a completely different salad lol! I had asked for the health nut, and they gave me a Cyprus. It was a perfect Cyprus, and it was good, but it definitely was not dairy free, even after taking out the biggest feta chunks, so I will be spending some more quality time with it later lol. I’ll probably still come back to this Crushed Red if I’m in the area, but I’ll be more careful about making sure I got what I ordered.

I love the Kirkwood location and the staff, they are always amazing. I ordered a delivery using DD but unfortunately from a different location (my fault!) but thought is was Kirkwood. I needed to ensure my food is gluten free so I called to double check. They were going to keep an eye out for my ticket to make sure I was safe. When they didn't receive the ticket, they actually took the time to call me back to let me know. That is some seriously good customer service I wish I could remember the name of the female I talked to because she should definitely get kudos by name! Seriously, wow, what a fantastic experience the staff provided. Was a favorite before, but this just solidified my love for the Kirkwood location and their staff.

My friend and I had our holiday debrief here last night, and it was such a wonderful experience. The service, the delicious food, and the ambiance was absolutely top notch. The bread is so fresh and steamy.... complete with a tangy olive oil, balsamic vinegar and parmesan dip on the side. They even made a unique gluten free pasta dish! It was quiet enough to hear our conversation, and the lighting in the room makes you feel like you are sitting around a fireplace in the most comfy home. Looking forward to returning and trying more delicious menu choices.

One of the best restaurants in STL, hands down. The food is delicious, the wine is great, and the servers are extremely friendly. Gets a little loud, so if you want a quiet meal, ask to eat on the sidewalk or in one of the front windows. Also great if you have celiacs. I can eat several of their offerings, and they are great about replacements.

We had dinner here before seeing a show in Kirkwood. This was our first time eating here and loved it! I have to eat gluten free so had the salmon and it was delicious!! My fiancé had the pasta with clams and said it was really good too. I would recommend eating here whenever you're looking for a nice place for dinner!

Went on a Sunday night. Service was good. The guac and chips were probably the best part of our meal. Tacos were “dry”. They needed more sauce to make them great. Kids beef and cheese tacos were not appetizing in appearance nor did they taste good. As far as gluten free, there were very limited options. For spending $80 without a tip, we were disappointed overall. Not very likely to go back.

You are truly missing out if you don’t make plans to breakfast here. It’s super clean and inviting, it has a lot of space for large parties, and it’s clean and the people are very very sweet. They have a full on restaurant menu with a lot of variety, and the service and food were outstanding. I cannot believe that it was so slow. It seems like nobody knows this place exists. The portion of coffee that you receive is phenomenal and they even have oat milk. They do not offer gluten-free bread except a bun and they do not have dairy free or gluten-free desserts except for one, so we did not get to enjoy the ice cream or the bakery, but cannot be happier and will be definitely coming back! Also it would be a 5 star no question if the putting on the hash below contained meat. I believe there was an ounce of brisket. Gluten-free and dairy free are also very much in demand these days so they could definitely make desserts and ice cream that would corner the market because the excellence in their bakery can’t be beat for years and years. I don’t want anyone reading this to see that I am complaining I am absolutely not complaining they’re probably was a small flaw in whoever was cooking the flavor of the brisket combined with the caramelized, onions, horseradish, and potatoes were amazing.

Such a great addition to Kirkwood! Staff was friendly, food was great, and the artwork was cool! We got the nachos, kale salad, mozzarella sticks and burnt ends as shareables for our table. We all loved everything! They also have a dedicated gluten free frier!

I had high expectations going into this place because of all the positive reviews. It did not measure up. They must've been busy because of a lot of phone in orders. There were not very many people there but they were preparing a lot of orders. We waited in a short line for 20 minutes. When they finally took our order, it was prepared on a very messy line and in what appeared to be a haphazard way. Even though we told them we needed gluten-free precautions taken, they acted unaware of what that meant and made no efforts to accommodate that: no line clean-up, no glove changes, no anything. As I watched them preparing multiple orders, the portions appeared to be very inconsistent. The employees looked overworked and frustrated, which made them come across unfriendly. The only redeeming grace was that the food was pretty good. The pico de gallo was the best thing in the bowl I ordered. I wouldn't say I was ruined for Chipotle, but I won't hurry back.

I went to Jersey Mike's on 12/09/2023. The crew that was working that afternoon was rocking it. The store was very busy. They did have a couple crabby customers and customers was a little crabby about gluten free and worker stayed patient with this customer. I want to get her two thumbs up. That group works well together as team to get the rush down. Will be back to Jersey Mike's.

The Master's Mark Builders LLC

First time visitor, and I must say it exceeded expectations. Almost everything boiled was gluten free and ohh so good. I ordered my dinner portion for lunch and it was a ton of food. My wife got snow crab legs. Not disappointed at all. Will be back. Unfortunately we live 4 hours away and won’t be regulars.
