Top 23 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Garner

The flavors are good and quality usually seem good. However, this location consistently messes up orders or just makes sad looking pizzas. My order is never ready at the time confirmed when I order and I usually end up waiting another 10+ minutes. I purposely order online to avoid a wait like this. I am gluten free and while I like the crust, it is rarely cooked properly at all. I have had to put it in the oven when I got home more than once just took finish cooking the crust. The restaurant always looks dirty and understaffed. Do better blaze! I’m getting tired of being unhappy with every experience.

They also do a good job with their gluten free options, and avoid cross contamination. Great for the whole family.

This was my first and last time visiting. I’m celiac so I thought this would be a safe place….ordered pulled chicken and potato salad. When the food was ready I was brought a pulled pork sandwich. When I politely asked about my pulled chicken, the lady serving got an attitude then threw a tray of what looked like slop back at me. They should change their name because nothing coming out of that kitchen looked like bbq….no flavor, dry and crunchy? Sad.

I have celiacs and when I asked if they had a gf menu the very kind waitress talked to the manager when he came over offered to answer any questions I had and I froze bit he continued and answered them without me saying a word and he found a hard copy of the allergy menu wich made things very easy and he asked the kitchen to be careful of cross contamination its very stressful when you have to be careful and get anxious talking to new people it can be a nightmare but the ruby tuesday in garner Nc off of 42 (veterans hwy) has A wonderful manager and a great waitstaff.

We ended up at this coffee shop for a dog adoption event by Ruff Rescue. The parking lot was definitely full and so was the coffee shop. This place was jumping around noon on a Saturday! Tons of patrons inside and at the outside tables, with both coffees and food. They did have a few plant milk options for those of us that are plant based/vegan. These included: Soy, Almond, Coconut, Oat milk I did see that they had some JP's Pastries that were gluten free, but I couldn't tell if any of them were also vegan because it was kind of a mad house inside. I didn't see any other food options that would fit the gluten free/vegan genre, but it's entirely possible that they did and I just didn't see those because it was so busy. Our drinks did take quite a while to get to us. But apparently that was due to me not being asked my name or phone number when I was ordering, so there was some random name assigned to our order that wasn't even close to my own name, so I didn't know that our order was ready. Take this as a note if you've not been here before and make sure to give them your name if they forget to ask for it.

Excellent experience here. I am currently on a restrictive diet preventing me from having gluten, dairy and a slew of other foods. Jasmine was extremely helpful, polite and kind to work with me on my tedious sub order. Although I have always loved JM, she made this experience very special.

We were fortunate enough to have Shawn for our server she was wonderful and really made the dining experience a 10. Went with the Caesar salad and side of Euro meat with tzatziki and it was very good together dipping the meat in the tzatziki, my wife tried the lemon gluten-free pasta it was wonderful mushroom dish with spinach and lots of other yummy things. A nice touch was the warm bread with seasoned oil to start your meal very good indeed.

We ate here for first time on 2/26/23. We dined in with a party of 7. We ordered the garlic knots, a pepperoni calzone, a 10” gluten-free bbq chicken pizza, a 16” Hawaiian pizza and a 16” Rome New York White pizza. Honest review- some of the BEST pizza we have had in NC in our 15 years. Their crust (hand tossed) was perfect. My daughter, who is gluten-free- said it was the best GF pizza she has found. It is thin crust but that is what she prefers. The calzone didn’t skimp on the stuffing. The garlic knots were super delish! The only critiques I have is that #1- we had to add bacon to our Hawaiian pizza whereas most other places already include the bacon with the ham and pineapple. No biggie. The second is that I really wish they had fountain drinks as I love ice with my drinks, instead of drinking out of the 20oz bottles. Next time we go, I will bring my own yeti with ice and just pour. We will definitely be back. My husband said “their pizza is sooooo good!” Prices are good in my opinion, as well. Good pizza is with the 25 minute drive for us! Super friendly service and staff- the owner even came out to check on us and talk with us about the history. Super nice folks!! I definitely recommend La Roma.

I mean it’s Chick-fil-A, if you haven’t been there go. Gluten free bun available, though I don’t much care for it as it’s very dry, but the grilled chicken is good.

Very pleased about our experience at Garibaldi. The staff was very helpful and efficient, the server was nice and thoughtful. The salmon was moist, they had gluten-free options for pasta and the lasagna was delicious. We very much enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant, it was very clean and had a very relaxing feel. Highly recommend this Italian restaurant.

They are very customer focused; I went with a friend that is gluten intolerant and waiter was kind enough to go and double check every item we were interested in. Food was overall good, not outstanding.

Great food and service. Gluten free items are marked on the allergen chart. It was very easy to navigate. I made my own bowl with purple rice, beef bulgogi, romaine, and sesame dressing.

Aug 4th, 2017. Alright, I have to say this was a another disappointment in the Friday"s chain. I ate here with my sister and brother-in-law and this was bad. The waitress (Misty) was very helpful and apologetic, her ticket was written correctly but the food was wrong. I believe the kitchen manager came out delivering a gluten free chicken dinner with shrimp. Unfortunately, the shrimp was missing. My sister worried that the meal might be compromised, she asked when he came out with the shrimp. He said in a lack luster answer it was fine. Then I had asked for the top sirloin to be medium, of course it wasn't..well done it was. Also, my salad I had asked for no tomatoes and salad came out with the actual meal, not before, with tomatoes. I'm allergic! Then to top it off ordered dessert, asked for the Oreo madness, with caramel sauce drizzeled over it. Guess what, came out extra chocolate sauce. So I say this, maybe you should have some more training on your kitchen staff to read the tickets/screen. Have the runners double check said tickets. Oh and this was on a Friday night at 6 where the wait was not bad nor busy at all.
