Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Rhode Island for a Delightful Lunch

Liz Purvis

We were in the area and looking for somewhere tasty to go for lunch, and after seeing the reviews, we decided we wanted to come to blackies! Even though we were a walk in, they were able to accommodate us and accommodate us, they did. Most of the menu can be made GF, and there are pages, upon pages to this menu. Not only did I enjoy my meal (I got the French Onion Cheesesteak with Fries and it was SUPERB 🤌🏽), but my gluten eating family also had a meal. My Dad even said it was the BEST Ruben he's ever had (and he loves a ruben). Since it was our first time there, our wonderful server was able to field all of my GF/Celiac-related questions with ease. The restaurant is owned by two lovely women: one of whom has Celiac. They have dedicated fryers, AND they have separate kitchen tools (knives, utensils, cutting boards, aprons, etc.) for the preparation of GF meals. On top of all that, my food was brought out FIRST and SEPARATELY. Our server even brought out a new bottle of ketchup with my food so that there wasn't any CC. I felt so well taken care of by the staff, and so safe while we were there, it was a new level of Celiac-care in this dining experience. I cannot more highly recommend blackies if you're ever in RI/Providence!!!

Great (gluten free!) food, great atmosphere, and even better bartender! Max’s service was 10/10 and he makes a killer aperol spritz. We will definitely be back!

This was the best dining experience I have had in a long time. Since being diagnosed with Celiac, it is really hard to enjoy eating out without fear of “being glutened”. After reading tons of reviews and the allergy safety protocols on their website, we decided to give this place a shot. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with nothing but assurance and the staff were so incredibly kind. There is a food safety coordinator certificate on the hostess stand that is also really impressive. On OpenTable you can say if you’re celebrating something at the time of your reservation, and while I have filled this out before, no restaurant has ever acknowledged it. I mentioned in my reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary and as soon as we walked in the Food Safety coordinator who I also think is the owner told us happy anniversary, followed by the woman who walked us to our table and our waitress. At the end of our meal we were gifted a surprise gluten free crème brûlée with a candle in it! It was just the most special night with the most incredible food. Everyone was so kind. I can’t sing their praises enough.

Great service and extensive Gluten Free Menu - even desserts!

Extremely good vegan and gluten free desserts. The Samoa oatbar is a 10/10 and if it ever disappears I'll likely not survive without it. Its so good, some weeks I get it multiples times! Very friendly customer service too.

Separate gluten-free menu, many options, great procedures, bring gluten-free food out separately. A really fun atmosphere and a great dining experience.

My family went to Rhode Roots for the first time yesterday and were very impressed. A++ all around. My wife has celiac disease and finding gluten free safe restaurants with such an extensive menu can be challenging. We tried the clam cakes and chowder and and they were delicious. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to go back and try some other items on the menu.

Sophia La Pietra

We had a phenomenal time at the moorings! The food was impeccable, and the service by our server Allie and the manager on the floor tonight was fantastic. I have gluten and dairy allergies so finding places to eat that can accommodate both allergies can be pretty difficult – especially when you are looking for something as specific as a gluten and dairy free lobster roll. This was my first time to Rhode Island and I had my heart set on having a phenomenal lobster roll bit wasn’t sure of the feasibility…the mooring did not disappoint. We will 100% be back!

Julie Young

I had an incredible lunch here yesterday! I was pretty nervous since I haven't had pizza from a restaurant since my Celiac Disease diagnosis 4.5 years ago, but our server John was fantastic. He answered all my questions, double checked things when I asked, and put me totally at ease. He reassured me they take allergens very seriously, including a separate prep area AND a separate oven for GF pizzas! I had a 1/2 pesto margherita and 1/2 chicken bacon ranch pizza, both sides were equally delicious.

Ron Baker

A large selection of gluten-free foods.

Sheree Varner

Had the gluten free French toast. It was hands down one of the best I’ve had. Great vibe there. Everyone loved their dishes. Highly recommend. If we are ever back we will return

francesca marotta

Separate gluten free menu

Julia Geller

The wine and dessert (cannoli) were great, but the entrees were pretty bad. We got the chicken milanese and it was some of the most overcooked chicken we have ever had. The gluten free pasta and sauce were mediocre at best. Not happy with the food, but service was nice and it was a pleasant environment. The water had a very bad after taste also, would not drink.

Dana Ryan

I had a lobster salad which was plentiful chunks of lobster and strawberries on greens and it was gluten-free. Tasty and worth the $15

Allie Bartlett

We had Toni, and if you want an amazing, relatable waitress that will go above and beyond for you every step of the way, REQUEST TONI. This is my go-to gluten free and allergen-safe restaurant. Did I mention that the ENTIRE MENU can be made gluten free? THANK YOU TONI AND 110 GRILL for the best birthday! We WILL be back and requesting TONI. <3

Tina Smrkovski

Attentive service and very fast food service. PF Chang's always accommodates our food allergies with a large variety of gluten free foods and willingness to alter dishes to make them GF. Wish we had one closer to our home!

I have been to TwoTen Oyster Bar and Grill in South Kingstown, RI multiple times and have always enjoyed my experience. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view overlooking the water and ample outdoor seating. The food is mostly delicious, with fresh oysters and a fantastic crab dip that I highly recommend. They also have an extensive gluten free menu and even offer sushi. However, the service can be a bit hit or miss. During my last visit, there were very long wait times despite it not being crowded and being during the week. There was also conflicting information regarding happy hour ordering times, and our waitress messed up the billing and thought she lost my credit card after giving it to her. The lobster roll was a bit disappointing as it was supposed to be hot with butter but was room temp with no butter and a bit rubbery with a soggy bun. The under seasoned fries were also a letdown. Drinks took 45 mins to arrive and the ice in the cocktail was melted already upon arrival. Overall, I would still recommend TwoTen Oyster Bar and Grill for its beautiful atmosphere and mostly delicious food. It's a step above casual dining and perfect for a fun summer meal. Just be prepared for some drawbacks in terms of service and food quality. I wouldn't hesitate to return for another visit.

Tara Ducharme

The lobster nachos are outstanding!!

Maryann Oliverio

Delicious food, excellent service and wonderful gluten free selections, especially the gluten free chicken soup. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are generous. Dan’s Place is a nice family restaurant. They can accommodate large parties and I have to give them 5 stars all around. We have never had a bad meal at Dan’s Place.

Tree Ferran

Had a great quick lunch at Drift. Gluten free options and allergy accommodation. Highly recommend “island time”!

Chad Wetmore

Wow! The staff at this bakery is incredibly friendly and polite. The store itself is spotless and well-maintained. I tried the Cupcake of the Day, which was a Pineapple Dolewhip flavor, and it was absolutely delicious. It tasted like summer in a cupcake! They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, including gluten-free options. I will definitely be returning to try more of their cupcakes.

Isabela Guillen

I’ve come to Plant City several times- but my most recent experience was just incredible and has prompted me to write a review. I got the T-BLAT (blt with shiitake mushroom bacon) on gluten free bread and my, my it was DIVINE! The bread was so good for being gluten free and the filling was decadent, nicely filled with lettuce, and a nice balance of spice, saltiness and creaminess from the chipotle mayo and avocado. I highly recommend. They also have a wide variety of hot/iced drinks, as well as a to go food counter with food like sushi and noodles, and many gluten free pastries. I also really love their grocery section with many high quality plant based foods and other snacks. The cafe itself is also just very relaxing and nice with lots of natural light and comfortable seating. I LOVE plant city!

Josh Trott

Apponaug is a fantastic Rhode Island brewery. Typical (but beautiful) industrial/converted mill aesthetic, great food (including gluten free options for my wife), and a wide variety of beer styles. They generally have a strong German lineup (Kolsch, pils, schwartzbier, Vienna) alongside more modern styles (ipa, NEIPA, Mexican lager). Services is always friendly , and the outdoor space is amazing when it's not raining.

Kathryn Sheehan

One of my absolute favorite brunch spots!! A good chunk of the menu can be made gluten free, and friend options are truly gluten free too! Try the horchata with your brunch!

Kelly Simmons

I wish I had known that their gluten free options were not the same as their on the menu options. I had heard the restaurant had a separate frier for gluten free orders and was so excited to try a new seafood spot, however the fried cod reuben I received was a cold batterless cod salad. The tarter sauce was more like a thin mayonnaise which soaked through the bread making it impossible to take out of the container. Beautiful establishment and friendly staff, but misleading info online led to an overall unpleasant experience.

I'll rate it a 2 star. One star for the service, one star for the size of pizza. The pizza smelled plastic, the pizza dough smelled too doughy & tasted too doughy. It wasn't cooked very well. I guess it was 14 minutes till closing time but still 😢 💢 I ordered veggie gluten free pizza and it wasn't it at all. I don't think I ever in my entire life tried horrible Pizza like that and paid $30 plus $5 tip...

Alexis Rhoades

They had AWESOME gluten free options!!!! Staff is very knowledgeable to food allergies, servers are quick and very kind! Jennifer B was our server is PHENOMENAL!

Wesley Hogan

Pretty good! We dined here at the end of the summer during an adventure around Newport. It was nice to sit outside for our meal. They are very accommodating for allergies, especially if you have Celiac disease like I do. Our steaks were tasty. However, I'm knocking off a star because my steak was a little overcooked and the staff were not the friendliest.

Kristin Hanfman

Food was amazing! Great gf options and really appreciated that they understood the severity of Celiac's. Service was great as well! Thanks Monika for making our dinner so great!

Jeff Savarino

Best Indian food in Providence among a few other strong choices. Lots of gluten free options.

Elena Rogers

Such a great lobster roll! I got mine warm on a gluten-free bun. It was a super nice surprise they had an gluten free option!

Susan

Nice and classy environment with tasty food for both lunch and dinner. My go-to for a good and tasty salad, other food is awesome as well. Gluten free options too.

Kaz Childs

Incredible. Top notch service. Knowledgeable staff. So many food choices! So many gluten-free options, with no sacrifice on flavor

Tina Smrkovski

The gluten free Belgian waffle was amazing, and they had a large menu of Benny's and omelettes.

Ashley Alden

Have eaten here many times and mentioned that I have celiac disease. Great place and food and did not get sick.

Beth Newberry

This was our first time at Somo, we will definitely be returning. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. My godson has a gluten allergy and they checked everything for us and made it delicious. He said it was the best eel he had ever had, it was soft. The sushi chef let him watch the preparation of the rolls and described everything he was doing. Everything was amazing! I also loved mine.

The RI Food Dude

Really impressed by Legal Seafoods. They should have a higher rating than 3.3 on Yelp for sure. I know they have a lot of locations which is I didn’t have the highest hopes coming in. The quality of the food was terrific and the service was excellent. Great portions as well. It started with the hot/fresh rolls when we sat down. We all split the calamari - original style- which was fried nicely. However, this was the only dish that had a disappointing portion size. For close to $20, I expected more pieces. I ordered the blackened yellowfin tuna ($41). It was cooked perfectly with nice flavor. However, my favorite part of the dish was the two sides I got with it. The curried vegetable medley was tasty, but the pad Thai style quinoa was out of this world! It had that typical pad Thai taste, and the amount given was super generous. My mom ordered the crispy fish sandwich ($19). They were extremely considerate allowing her to sub out fries and coleslaw for other sides which more expensive. The fish sandwich was delicious as I had a few bites, but it could’ve used more fish itself. I also had some of my Dad’s Anna’s Baked Haddock ($28.5). The piece was enormous. It must’ve taken up half of the plate and probably weigh a pound. The buttered crumb topping was delicious and the oven roasted broccoli was cooked very well. We finished with the chocolate pudding cake ($12). It was incredibly moist and melts in your mouth. The texture was unbelievable. The molten center was fantastic and I wanted another after I finished. And I can’t believe it was gluten free. We had an amazing waitress and she really knew how to do her job well. I think her name was Madison, she’s been working there over a year. It’s very clean inside with a chill atmosphere and a huge bar in the middle. Prices are on the higher side, but not too bad for a seafood centered restaurant.

Amelia Gleyzer

Omg I loved this restaurant so much! They are so accommodating because my mom and I couldn’t have gluten, rice, beans, or corn so they let us know what everything we thought about ordering had before we ordered it. The oysters are the BEST, and I had the king crab which was so good and so filling. My mom ordered the blackened yellowfin tuna which was also so good. Delicious food and great service 10/10. Many servers came over to check on us to see if everything was okay. There are a few places to sit: under the tent, sun room, bar, upstairs. Nice view from each seat but mostly the sun room. Definitely will be coming back when I’m in Rhode Island again.

Lindsay Timko

I love this place…. they were one of the first restaurants to get on-board with having gluten-free options several years ago. Prices are a little high, but all prices are a little high. I love all the artwork they have displayed everywhere. I definitely recommend this place. ❤️

Ryan McCusker

Great gluten free menu. Alex and Brian behind the bar were awesome. Food and drinks both were delicious

Kathy Danis

Nearly all items on the extensive menu can be made gluten free. I had fish and chips! Which was excellent. The fish was so fresh and tender, the chips were chip/French fries. I also got a little loaf of gluten free bread! Also amazing with the cinnamon maple butter. And if you are so fortunate enough to have the server Julianne, your whole experience will be made better. You will leave feeling happier and know she truly cared about your food and dining experience. Her knowledge about gluten free food, caring attitude and willingness to go above and beyond should well be noted. I love, love love everything about this restaurant and can't wait to go back, and hope that Julianne will be working. A++++

D Williams

Went to The Beach Rose Cafe for a meeting, and employees Paula and Brooke were amazing. They have great customer service and made you feel at home. They prepared the food in a timely manner and it was like eating home! ( GREAT TASTE AND PORTION). They give healthy options for food such Gluten Free and clean protein shakes. We'll definitely come again!!!!🎊🤙🏽

E S

Restaurant was clean and well lit. Staff was friendly and very accommodating to dietary needs. Large selection of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free items. Food was delicious with a wide flavor profile and range of heat. Prices were not prohibitive. Parking can be a little challenging if you are not from the area.

C.J. Williams

This place is ace. Excellent Mexican-American food, from burritos to the all-important taco. I highly recommend the barbacoa bowl or taco. They're also attentive to gluten free needs /celiac customers. Although not a dedicated facility, they boxed and labeled our celiac (gf/df) orders separately and noted which orders were allergy on the receipt.

Saint Bree

I LOVE Yama Fuji! I have celiac disease and they have the most variety for gluten free options than any other place around. The food is always consistent and delicious and the owners are great people.

Lisa Mayberry

Everything was good except for the grilled octopus which I sent back because you couldn't even chew it. Second time was better but still just ok. But the standout here was the gluten-free lamb poutine, everyone loved that!

Carrie Zaslow

Pizza Pie-er is my favorite Rhode Island Pizza. They have by far the best gluten free pizza. Great choices and the service is always top notch. I have been a customer for over 20 years.

Brianne Holds

Had the tiramisu and the gluten free corn muffin. Both very good. And the staff was quick, attentive, and very kind.

Peter Hill

This is a favourite of mine for after kayaking. I avoid gluten and dairy, so I am quiet pleased with the selection of gluten-free vegan muffins. Great coffee too!

Ellen Stavropoulos

So many choices! Food & service was great. Gluten-free options. Definitely going back!
