Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots Across Columbus

Rebecca Duke

Absolutely fell in love with this place!! We were traveling and looking for a safe place to eat with celiac/severe gluten allergy as well as dairy free. The fact that Portia’s entire menu is gluten free and vegan was AMAZING so everything was completely safe!! We drank the mushroom lattes and split the breakfast burrito bowl and a waffle - the food was out of this world. Everyone on staff was so kind and in a great mood, and the space is cozy and colorful. Will definitely back if we find ourselves in Columbus again!

Everything is gluten-free, and the food was delicious! Will be back!

I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

We dined here with a party of 7 following a white coat ceremony. The service was great, even though the restaurant was packed. A member of our party has significant food allergies and the waitress was knowledgeable and accommodating. She asked questions of the chef to ensure our party’s allergies were addressed. The restaurant offers a gluten free menu. Our food was excellent. Our party enjoyed dishes including Mahi Mahi, scallops, Grouper, short ribs, filet mignon, and burgers. The sides were on point and paired perfectly with the main course. We have been here before and will definitely return! Thank you to the staff, chefs and all employees at Cooper’s Hawk Restaurant, The Strand, Columbus, Ohio!

Wow the food tasted as good as it looked! Everything is vegan and gluten free but it doesn't taste like it is! We ordered the cheese plate which had so much variety and different flavors! Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and filling! We left with full stomachs. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookies. It was gooey but didn't leave me feeling icky like most sweets!

Excellent burgers! Great option for celiacs, staff is very knowledgeable. Gluten eating dad says if all GF was that good he would never eat gluten again 🤣

Jen

Went out with my team for a business dinner and had amazing experience! Hats off to our server Dominic, he's was beyond professional while being knowledgeable about allergy restrictions. He was well informed about cross contamination and offered my colleague different gluten free options. So refreshing! Next time I am in Columbus, I will be booking a reservation 🩷

Stacey Preston

Great food and a good sized gluten free menu.

Ash Holbert

They are amazing with allergies. They have great gluten free pizza and a tone of options. The gluten free cookie and Sunday is amazing!

Josiah Farr

I was in Columbus for a MTG tournament, and was unfamiliar with the area. I searched for gluten free food, not expecting to find much, but I found Forno. Not only was Molly the waitress absolutely phenomenal. (And she definitely deserves a raise) My experience there was beyond amazing. I've never had a pizza so delicious, I've never had FOOD so delicious. Let alone, a GLUTEN FREE pizza! I liked Forno so much that during my weekend in Columbus I HAD to go there a second time because I wanted to experience it again before I left. 10/10 would go there again, I'd drive from Detroit to Columbus just to experience Forno again.

Really good food great gluten free menu. Service was good.

Tini Mueller

One of the best gluten free places I have ever been. The wait staff is so knowledgeable when it comes to gluten free, the menu is so inclusive. I love it here so much! OH and the GLUTEN FREE chicken tenders… so good!!

Veronica XXX

Love the gluten-free pizza.

Paul Hansen

Probably the best gluten-free pizza I’ve had in Columbus

Esperanza Hunt

Julie Burkett

Great service! Great food! Appreciate the menu marking gluten-free items. Best of all, the cheesecake is gluten-free!!!

Doug King

Went here to have dinner with friends from college. There's a lot of gluten free options across the entire menu. All the entrees were nicely prepared and plated. Our server was attentive, with well paced service.

lydia gokey

Joe was my server and he was awesome! It’s always been hard eating out while having celiac and he took my allergy into heavy consideration

Rochelle Stapp

I was so excited to try Mediterranean food and was super lucky to find they had gluten free options. The owner’s son has gluten intolerance so they are very knowledgeable. The food was so good and the staff was absolutely lovely.

My partner and I travel a lot for work. We always seek out the best vegan spots to eat. This one really blew me away. I was extremely satisfied with the customer service, the atmosphere, and the food. Wyatt took our order. He had an excellent attitude despite the line (probably because the place is delicious) and he was very helpful in helping us select a dish. I had the Frisco melt and the red velvet cake. I ate every bite! They do not skip on flavor and quality ingredients. My partner had sausage egg and cheese with gluten free bread the pumpkin loaf and Caesar salad. Usually gluten free options are scarce and hit or miss on flavor. All of these dishes were delicious. And there were plenty of gluten free options as well. Thank you for providing excellent service and food for us vegan travelers! We Highly recommend this place!

Rochelle Stapp

My favorite Chinese restaurant. They will make just about any dish gluten free and are so amazing. My favorite to get is orange chicken but they also have a Chinese Menu that has more dishes to try then just the traditional American dishes.

It was like a scene from a television show one kid doing homework and another playing on a tablet while the mother worked . The pizza was reasonable priced and had a good gluten free pizza

Bruce Griffin

Delicious. Great food and better service. Very gentrified hipster vibe. The majority of the menu is or can be made gluten free.

Grant Donnelly

6-1-Pho is the restaurant I most regularly frequent in Columbus. I like it a lot and the prices are good, the food is even better and the workers are always friendly. What I like about this place is the food can satisfy a meat eater, a vegan, or a gluten free person all the same. I generally get the marinated tofu pho and my partner the chicken pho- both are great and I think their broth is perfect. They started using flatter noodles which are less good than the more round noodles they used to use so I hope they switch back! I get to go and they have this down to a science- they have a good packing system that makes sure you don’t spill and the food tastes good when you get it home.

I would give 1000 stars if I could. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and our server, Tyler, made sure I was eating GOOD. He got the kitchen to make gf/df bread specially for me, and was super accommodating explaining the menu items in depth and offering suggestions. He even brought me a plate of steamed veggies with my chicken & pasta. I ended up getting the pasta-your-way with gf gnocchi and grilled chicken, and he brought me a side of steamed veggies. He was accommodating, friendly, and on top of everyones table around us with the same level of service. Did I mention this was Valentine's day, one of their busiest days? This is going to become a regular restaurant for me, thank you Marcella's and thank you Tyler!!

Nathan Morse

Delicious food from delightful people! Also, their soup of the day is always vegan and gluten free — so inclusive!

Cory Chapman

A wonderful restaurant with amazing gluten free options. My wife enjoyed her first chicken Parmesan in years here. Very inviting and lovely atmosphere. The lasagna was delicious and the service was prompt. If you don’t want to sit at the bar, make sure to call ahead.

Olivia Evert

Always just kind folks and are always helpful when it comes to my food allergies. I can't have dairy or gluten and I get the Chicken Daal with no dairy and they always make it perfect and safe each time

Lilli Thompson

KENDELL IS AMAZING she was so accommodating with my celiacs and went above and beyond to make sure I was secure about all options! She was so amazing. The food is so good too! Caso is top dog

Justin Runyon

This was my first time in there and the food was amazing. They have a healthy selection as well gluten free options, and more very well atmosphere. Service was great as well.

John Edwards

Had adequate parking. The dining area is large and can accommodate large parties. The manager was helpful and explained where everything was. There is a salad bar with a variety of healthy items. You will pay between $10-$15 for a sandwich. All foods served are free from dyes, artificial trans fats and flavours, processed MSG's, and high fructose corn syrup, according to the menu. I had the Ruben, and it was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. I also had a salad, which was great. I highly recommend Jason's Deli if you're in the area. They do have gluten sensitive and vegetarian options. Jason's Deli is a chain resteraunt, which we didn't know until we did some research, with restaurants in 28 states. This is a family owned chain and is in the top 500 for resteraunt chains.

Christopher Martinez

I have celiac disease and need to be careful with gluten and cross contamination. Red Robin offers gluten free options and dedicated fryers which is usually great. This location has unfortunately glutened me twice within the past year, first with including breaded jalapeno coins in my burger, and then with giving me a normal gluten bun instead of a gluten free bun. If you have any allergies, be careful with this location.

Jamie

I absolutely love the hummus here! The spicy cauliflower and raspberry green tea are also delicious. So many vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options too.

Toni Sacco

Homegrown hangout boasting craft beer and unique (and dare I say, gourmet) hotdog combos—personal favorite is the “Classy Lady”. Always delicious with excellent, speedy service. Delighted to see gluten free buns on the menu!

Emmett J

Wow, I can't believe I haven't eaten here until now. My wife and I came here for lunch and loved it so much that we stopped by again on the same day to grab dinner. Can't wait to bring my veg and gluten-free friends!

Rachel Baker

The calzone was the best I've had! They offer a gluten-free crust my friend said was very good. Our waitress was fantastic!

J Malo

Great gluten free pizza 🍕

Jennifer Fagert

The food and service were amazing, with many gluten-free and vegetarian options for those with dietary needs. The serving sizes are on the smaller side, which we preferred because we were able to finish our meals without being too full. The many of the vegetables that come with the main courses are shredded, which disappointed my mom. My mom slso ordered one of the house wines, which she said was not the best. Our server was very attentive without being overbearing and managers take the time to make sure everyone is enjoying the food, but we did wait around 40 minutes for our food. The atmosphere is VERY noisy and can quickly overstimulate people with sensory sensitivity, like myself. My parents typically do not get overstimulated and they even said it was too noisy. It was super easy to make reservations using Open Table! Overall, the food was good, but the atmosphere was way too noisy and we had to wait a while for our food.

Jennifer Noelle

Came after a show at Nationwide Arena - very convenient and walkable. Pros: They were able to get us in about 30 minutes before our reservation on a crowded night, our server was incredibly friendly and helpful, fun atmosphere. Guac, street corn and mixed drinks were delicious. Several gluten free options. Cons: three people ordered the carne asada and found the steak to be tough and chewy, almost inedible. Somewhat pricey.

Joe S.

I have been to a couple of these before and they're always very good and clean .......this one is bigger than most..... Got greeted right away when I came in sat down it wasn't very crowded at the time ......... The hostess was friendly and so was my server.,,.... I usually get the awesome avocado omelette... Each time I go into one of these places I always tell myself this time need to order something else because it all looks good but I never do I stick with my favorite each and every time...lol.... They also have added gluten-free breads which is awesome for somebody like me.....

Abby Ham

Good place! I'm not super adventurous so my meal wasn't anything great (my fault 100%). But the menus list what's Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, and what has dairy, which was great because we had three people who fell into one of those categories.

Dan Scharnagl

There are a ton of GF options. They have 2 gluten free crust options. A square gluten free crust, about 10x10. And a round GF cauliflower, about 10" diameter. 3 GF beer options as well.

Mallory Hudson

I've been to Columbus three times and each time I make a point to come to Bonifacio. The food and cocktails are incredible and reasonably-priced. Most of the food is naturally gluten-free and I've never had a reaction due to cross contamination.

Sarah Hayden

My two best friends and I came here for our annual birthday celebration and I haven't stopped dreaming about it since! My vegetarian, gluten-free diet was easy, and my girlfriends got dishes that matched their tastes. The nachos are next-level, of course....but the DRINKS!! 💘 Delicious and effective. We had the BEST time!

Jabulani Young

The fact that a vegan Ethiopian restaurant exist , already is worth 5 stars. The gluten free 100% teff injera was icing on the cake for me. Restaurant is nice and clean and when I seen the bob Marley poster It confirmed the good vibes was present. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend Nile vegan to any foodie .

Andrew Pitonyak

Staff is always great / helpful... A few changes to note. Tea is no longer free with your meal. $1.50 so reasonable. The soda machine is $3. Touch screen to place your order. Be careful, there is a 3 piece wings and a 5 piece wings meal. Be sure to order the right one. You can refill your own drinks. They have french fries, spicy ketchup and spicy ranch. They have also added chicken tenders. Now back to your regularly scheduled review. I had a perfect chicken wing today... One of the few places I can get spicy food. Wings holy with mac and beans is my go-to. If you want it super spicy, ask for unholy, That's where the real spice is. There are tables set up inside and, when it is warm, tables set up outside. Every Tuesday the entire family comes so they can get their gluten-free chicken. I also really like the environment. The people seem to get along really well together and are kind to their customers. They have high chairs if you need them and they also just got these cute caution signs that look like bananas. They really compliment their banana pudding. The mac and cheese has changed yet again, very much for the better. I really enjoyed my mac and cheese, as well as my beans. They even have a Mac and cheese with nuggets dish. If you want a vegan option they have Nuggs, which is a plant-based alternative to chicken. I've never tried a nugg. They have added salads They have a Coke machine now so you can have Coke products or sweet tea. The sweet tea is half the price of the coke.

Brittany Wolf

My husband and I have been on a Moonbowls kick lately. I am a gluten-free vegetarian, and finding food that fits my dieta needs can be challenging. Every order has been completely on point accurate 👌 The quality of ingredients NEVER disappoints!! Always so fresh, and the jasmine rice is cooked to perfection!Sesame ginger vinaigrette is very consistent in taste every time (I dislike when sauces/dressings that I enjoy don't taste consistent order to order). Highly recommend!

Lauryn Denney

Always great! Plenty of delicious gluten-free options and has so far been celiac-safe 💜

Allison Glasgow

Their gluten free pizza is amazing!

Haylee Dupilka

We went to Rodizio for the first time during restaurant week last week. My boyfriend is a picky eater, so I was not sure how it would go. But we both LOVED it. Our sever Olivia was truly wonderful. The food was delicious! We loved everything we tried. I am allergic to gluten and this place was very accommodating. The pina colada was the best one I have had as well. We will be back!
