Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Discover in North Raleigh

Kolin McKelvey

Food was good. We got their beignets and some breakfast stacker crepes. My Celiac wife forgot to tell them that she was gluten free so they had to remake the dish for her. They were very nice about it. Only reason for lack of star was server wasn’t very attentive and forgot silverware

Mica Baker

Authentic Italian cuisine. Gluten free options. Always delicious!

Susan Rodriguez

I’m a vegetarian, and the main menu has almost no meat-free dishes—but Winston’s actually is vegetarian friendly as long as you say something to the waiter. They have a complete alternative menu available: the front lists vegetarian and vegan dishes, and the back has gluten-free dishes. I can’t speak to the gluten-free options, but the vegan and vegetarian choices are excellent!

Enjoyed a tasty gluten free and dairy free meal. Our group loved the pita with hummus, mjadarah rice, roasted veggies, green beans, and the chicken and beef kebabs with whipped garlic. All was delicious!

Danielle Jordan

A go-to date night spot for me and my husband. Convenient parking, delicious food, and a unique atmosphere…this restaurant checks all the boxes. Additionally, I have celiac disease and therefore must avoid gluten completely. I never seem to have issues here and they always accommodate & modify my favorite taco (the carne) to make it gluten free. It’s a toss up which dip is the best…they are all amazing. I’ve never had a bad taco here, and my husband loves their burrito el guapo. If you love tacos, don’t hesitate to eat here. By far the best tacos in Raleigh.

Margarita pizza was amazing on the gluten free crust! Service was awesome as was the buffet.

Dani Dire

Hands down one of the best gluten free buns! Anytime I’m craving a burger, this is where we go. Most of the time when I ask for the gluten free bun they ask immediately if it’s an allergy before I can even say it. I’m celiac but saying it’s an allergy is usually easier. They do NOT have a dedicated fryer so stay away from the fries and tater tots unfortunately.

GLUTEN FREE BUNS! (+$3 for GF bun) EXCELLENT BURGERS! I ordered a build your own with Swiss cheese, sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms, and garlic mayo and smoked mayo as my two condiments. Everything is just bursting with flavor. I agree with another reviewer, you can taste the quality. Both mayos were delicious, but the garlic mayo stole the show. My family is convinced this is the best burger place in town and it has become our go-to for burgers. Indoor and outdoor seating, or you can sit at the bar. We usually enjoy the outdoor seating.

Julia Pedroza

Absolutely love this place. Wish we could get here more often (and that they had non gluten-free coffee cake 😂)

Christine Havericak

Horrible customer service and care. We ordered a gluten free pizza for our daughter who suffers from Celiac. Fortunately, our delivery driver understands the dangers (and pain/illness) associated with ingesting gluten and informed us that no separate utensils, pizza peels, or precautions were taken to ensure a gluten free pizza. I attempted to resolve the issue and spoke with the manager on duty, who did not express any concern nor did she even apologize for this issue. She simply stated there is nothing she can about it because she cannot tell the chef what to do. it was a wasted $100+ order. never again.

Maureen O'Sullivan

They are allergy friendly AND knowledgable. They were super accommodating to the person with celiac in our group. As a result she was able to eat and enjoy no problem. Not to mention that the brisket was divine.

Bithiah Alvarez

Staff is very friendly, service and food is always good. They have gluten free pita and halal meat. Food here is SO GOOD

Sarah Coleman

sadly, this location is VERY understaffed! I hope that might be why our burgers were both made wrong (asked for no mayo, got mayo; asked for no cheese on the other burger, got cheese). We have had decent burgers from this location in the past, and I am happy to report they do have a gluten free burger bun, which is fairly tasty and holds together well. Atmosphere is DEAD, very much so. It is hardly busy at peak dinner hours, which is sad really.

Hidden Gem in a plaza area. It's not fancy but the food and service is excellent. Some of it is hot and spicy as I expected for Thai. It's a good hot! They also have Thai beer and wine. Also, they have Gluten-free options, you just have to ask. They will make especially for you.

Joshua England

They have exceptional, consistent food. On top of that, they are very knowledge of gluten free options and what you can/can't order. Recommended!

Divinity

I've ate here a few times in the last 2 weeks (near my work), and I have no complaints so far, the servers are very sweet and attentive, no hostile feelings apart from some glares from the customers(which is the only negative thing if u stand out somehow), other than that, they treat you well, and the food is good, the prices aren't too bad either. They even have a gluten free menu!!

Robert Stokes

The pizzas are really good if you're gluten-free they have pizzas for you I get the mad Italian really good pizza

Heather Little

Manhattan always provides the best customer service! We ordered multiple pizzas last night, including one gluten free, and when we got home we realized it had a regular crust. I called back and the manager apologized, made a new gf one and offered to drive it to our house himself. Everyone there is always so polite. And the food is delicious. Highly recommend!

Shaun Provost

Amazing experience here! They have gluten free pasta and are very aware of cross contamination and how to avoid in their kitchen. Food was delicious and ambiance was unmatched!

Thomas Gyori

Ordered via their app. Order was ready early. THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE BREAD

Elliot G

I was very pleased with the facility, the staff and the food. You'll be pleasantly surprised too. My wife loved the gluten friendly pancakes!

Samantha Simmons

My fiancé and I live across the street from this place and it’s been a hit every time! I am gluten intolerant and they are always super great about working with me on that and are able to make almost any dish gluten free for me! You can tell the food is made with love and care and it’s family owned which I also love. My fiancé loves the ramen and the buns, and I love all of their noodle dishes! Take out is always a breeze as well. And they always include chopsticks and napkins, never have to be weary about missing anything. If you haven’t been here yet, you need to!

Shaun Provost

The front of house staff were very friendly but unfortunately there were hardly any gluten free options. The fryer (and all apps except one) were cross contaminated, and few entrees were exclusively gluten free even with modifications. Ended up with a burger (which was delicious), but no fries etc.

Mike Marchetta

Always awesome! Food quality is excellent Service is excellent Alot of great options on the menu to choose from. They definitely focus more on the ingredients and quality. Much better choice than other local places by far! Portion sizes are just right but bring your appetite and try a few things..you can always bring it home. Atmosphere is excellent. Nicely done inside. Well lit, clean, updated and they offer various style seating sections and Tvs if needed to watch something. It's usually crowded but they will do their best to get you seated. Has a bar, many drink options so no worries there! I am sure you will find what you need! Outside seating; they also have an outside section that is definitely worth choosing. Very nice ambiance and set up..heaters all over if it's cold but on a nice night it's worth it Price: better quality food, excellent cooking and worth the price. Definitely frequent Wakefield Tavern. One of the best out there. Gluten free options are one of the best out there. Pasta, pizzas are delicious. Overall; Head over and enjoy...certainly worth it!

Stacey Gibbs

Great with Gluten allergies! Excellent food!

Greg George

I’ve lived close to this place for almost 10 years. I am sad to say that it took me that long to try Ni Asian. This place is awesome. Their whole menu is great. They also have a good 20 items that are Dairy Free and Gluten Free. Highly recommend!!

Joseph B

Always enjoy eating here and they have some gluten free options as well.

Heather Bower

My mother recently traveled to Columbia and fell in love with the culture and the food. She wanted to share that with us, and so we ventured to The Arepa Bar! Every bite was incredible, and the owner was so friendly and welcoming, helping us order to maximize value and get the most authentic Columbian experience. Two members of our party also have celiac, and it was amazing to have so many totally safe options for them! Mom felt like she was right back in the country, and we all can't wait to return for another meal soon!

Previously Working At This Location From 2016-2017, I Have Personally Declared It The Best Pizza In The World. Truth Be Told That New & Returning Customers To Marco’s Pizza On Falls River Avenue Get More For Their Money In Three Ways: 1.) Special Offers via Coupons On Their Pizza Boxes 2.) a.) Vegetarian Choices( Garden Sale & Sveral Salads including my Personal Favorite Greek Salad) b.) Gluten Free Pizza Crusts. 3.) The Reason I Give 5 Stars Isn’t due to association. Excellent Customer Service Is 60% Of What I Focus On. I Created A Grading System Called The 4 P’s Of Customer Service: (Prompt, Professional, Polite, & Persistent)To Help Determine The Customer Service Of A Business. The Customer Service Received By This Marco’s Store Passes All 4. So To Summarize: If You’re Hungry & In The Falls River Ave. Area , I recommend You Order Marcos Pizza On Falls River Ave.

Shanah Bell

My friend and decided to check this place out and are so happy that we did! Loved the atmosphere and the service. They had quite a few options for me that could be made gluten free and vegan. I was very excited this was the case. I decided to try the Creamy Coconut Rice Noodles with tofu. My friend and I split the Lettuce Wraps and Spring Rolls, both with tofu. They did have to give me a different sauce for both of those since the sauces that came with them weren't gluten free. Overall, the food was phenomenal! So fresh tasting and filling with a wonderful flavor profile. I will definitely be back!

Jenee Lorberblatt

Really nice cocktails, good tequila and mezcal selection. Food is just above average, good gluten free options but not all servers are knowledgeable. Nice outdoor seating when the fountain is working.

Chris Shearer

We love Marcos pizza. Decent process and you can always find good coupons. We have been using the 6.99 mediums for quite awhile now. Good crust and good sauce plus all your usual toppings. Best thing is the gluten free crusts which our girls can eat with no problems.

Allison T

The bowls are good here but if you are trying to eat gluten-free, be aware that they automatically put a sweet soy marinade on all of the salmon and tuna. Normally at poke places you can ask for salmon and tuna and expect it to be just that, plain salmon and tuna. Not here. They put the onus on the customer to specify non-marinated if that is what you want.

Dan W

Big shout out! Had some cousins in from out of town. My uncle chose here for dinner. I am new to the gluten free life. I checked the menu and saw they had a Chicken salad. I ordered it not thinking to ask if the chicken was breaded. And it was. The waitress heard my comment about it and immediately had the kitchen grill a breast and offered to remake the whole salad. I didn't need that fortunately. Great job taking care of your customers!

Mari Slemons

Something is different about this restaurant. Not sure if it’s the recipes, or if the ingredients are just exceptionally fresh… but the food is out of this world. Fried chicken is a must (I can’t even eat gluten and needed at least two bites). Red Curry- amazing. Tom Kha Ramen- 15 stars. The staff is friendly and attentive too! Eat here tonight, ok???

Carly Nickerson

Had dinner here recently and they have both a nice spread out indoor space and a nice outdoor space for dining options. I had the chicken Jarrett which was amazing with goat cheese and sundried tomatoes. The house salad with pecans and blue cheese was really good. Partner had the broiled seafood platter and he said it was really good. Presentation was nice and the food had lots of flavor. Would definitely recommend. They have gluten free options and sides clearly marked on the menu and the server gave me confidence in ordering gluten free.

Nikki Speer

Absolutely incredible server Mychael! Delicious food- you must try the chicken quesadilla! And there are gluten free options! 😊

Diana Vazquez

Everyone here was super hospitable and the vibe was very romantic. We were seated immediately with our reservation, our server was so attentive and the chef brought us an apple swan, which was so sweet! The sushi rolls were so fresh and beautifully presented! I’m gluten free and they made sure to bring gluten free soy sauce! We had a wonderful experience:) Would recommend for a date night!

Laura Hoffman

Gluten free soy sauce available. Good sushi for the price. Can make hibachi order gluten free. If you're hungry and want sushi this is a good deal. Honestly I've had better fancy rolls but would choose this place because of price.

Andrea W.

This place is the best! Love having a place to get a classic burger, nuggets, and fries without worrying about getting sick. (Gluten/Dairy Allergies) Can’t wait to try their hot dogs next. :-)

Best biscuit I’ve ever tasted. I try to be gluten free but I couldn’t refuse and loved every bite. The line was out the door but moved quickly and food came quickly.

Sofia Kluch

Amazing food. The selection of food is great - they address vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian, and more options. The wine selection is wonderful. Prices are great. Atmosphere is welcoming while being exclusive. Love this experience every time!

Kay B

We had dinner here last night and it was fabulous! I try to watch my gluten consumption, but the empanadas are the best we’ve ever had. They are handmade and taste like someone’s momma made them. I also had a Chimi . A Dominican burger. It was incredible. We’ll worth the gluten. From the type of bread used, I’m sure their Cuban sandwich must be great too. My husband had the grilled pork chop off their Dominican menu. It was absolutely delicious. Nice casual spot with a super awesome wait staff. We will be back quite often.

Natalie Conrad

Due to Celiac Disease I can only eat burgers without the bun. The Chargrill beef is good enough to eat without the bread unlike most other restaurants.

Ron Hyman

Maybe one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant. Had to wait several minutes for someone to take my order. And then they had no idea what was gluten free and what wasn’t. Ended up with nachos, which were just ok. Don’t have enough chips and when I asked for more to have with the toppings, they wanted to charge me for more chips. Won’t be back.

Helen Wrenn

We used Salsa Fresh as a caterer for our wedding in May 2019! Bill Golden at the Raleigh location was beyond nice and very flexible. He was more than accommodating, allowing us to make special requests (such as corn tortillas for our gluten free friends and extra veggies for our vegan friends) and worked to ensure everything would go smoothly day of. Everything from serving dishes to sterno burners was included at a VERY reasonable price (such cheaper than anywhere else we looked) and everything was delivered and set up about an hour before the ceremony! We were provided with MORE than enough food for 45 people and it was all delicious and fresh. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you Bill and the Salsa Fresh team!

Martin Brossman

It is really a pickup only with one table if you want to eat there. Pizza is excellent! They also have a gluten-free crust.

Missy Parker

Great hot and cold sandwiches and homemade salads for lunch and changing menu for dinner. My lunch favorite is the garbanzo bean salad. They have gluten free bread for sandwiches and toast them separately.
