Top 12 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Delight in Historic Third Ward, Milwaukee

Megan Kostowicz

Went for brunch with some girlfriends this morning and Augustine was our server. He was fantastically funny, charming and made us feel very welcomed and like he enjoyed taking care of us. Service was quick even though it was extremely busy, and food was delicious. As a gluten free person, it's tricky to find GF pancakes at a lot of places, and I was thrilled to be able to have some here! Definitely will be returning in the future.

Food was DELICIOUS. My favorite thing was probably the kimchi pancakes. A must try! My husband has Celiac and the server was very knowledgeable about safety precautions and they have a Celiac specific menu. We will definitely be back when we are in Milwaukee again.

Love love love. Lots of gluten free options, they have a dedicated gluten free menu. We went on a week day, so it wasn't busy. But they say weekends are very busy. They also have igloos!

We had a wonderful Mother’s Day experience this year, and they were very kind and considerate of my mother’s gluten allergy. Will be going back!

Everything was excellent! Our server was very attentive. My husband is GF and the server explained everything that could be made gluten free. Love how a chef delivers the food to the table. We started with warms olives and feta, meatballs, and the whipped cheese. It was all delicious. My husband ordered the Branzino GF. They subbed Broccolini for the cous cous. He said it was amazing!! My BIL ordered Hanger Steak and said it was fantastic. Didn't even need a steak knife to cut it. My SIL and I both ordered pizzas. She said her Margherita was really good. I enjoyed my Truffle pizza. The only thing I would add to mine would be a hot honey drizzle or something just to round out the flavor. But it was still very good and large. Looking forward to the leftovers. The cocktails were also fun and inventive. The Montebello was delicious. And I was told that the Fig Old Fashioned was great too. We walked around after dinner and then came back to the bar for dessert. The chocolate dessert is GF (can't remember the name). My husband enjoyed it. I tried the Butter cake with toffee ice cream. It was sinfully delicious. I was just too full to finish. It brought me back to when I was kid a Christmas time....(like the flashback in Ratatouille 🩷) I wish I could have finished. If we are ever in Milwaukee again, we will definitely be back!!!

Legit the only pizza I take well while having a strong gluten sensitivity. A blessing!

I attempted to order online with my fiancee; I have allergies to wheat and eggs, and made my order as such. I had my entire half of the order cancelled rather than having been contacted, presumably because they were out of the gluten-free buns I needed or something like that? I don't know, because they didn't bother to call.

On vacation and I love good poke which is hard to find. I have to eat gluten-free and this was the only one of the Poke restaurants near the Riverwalk that indicated which menu items had gluten in it! It made it easy for me to safely eat here. Food was very tasty, my partner and I each got poke bowls, a Philadelphia roll, and then I tried Boba tea for the first time (I got mango and it was delicious). The staff were very helpful when we ordered since we had never been here before.

My husband and I have been wanting to try this place for awhile, so when we had some visitors from Europe recently we decided to take them here to sample some of the cultural diversity of our city. The lush green velvet seating is gorgeous, but our visitors found the hard wooden booth and plain white walls where we were seated uninspiring for taking photos, which is a big part of the experience for them lol. I’m gluten free, and there was exactly one item in each of the menu categories I could have, so that’s what I ordered. Disappointed that there were so few choices, but I did enjoy the edamame, jap chae, and bibimpap. Our server was helpful in deciding what to order, and we got a selection of items to share, everyone loved the chicken teriyaki and pork dumplings and duk bokki. It was more spice than our visitors were used to, but they liked exploring the new flavors. The plum drop martini was refreshing, but Crisp Dragon was our favorite drink, great tropical flavors. We had to track down our server and ask for more water, it wasn’t refilled throughout the meal. All in all a fun experience and interesting new place to try.

Best place for pho, period. One of my favorite Milwaukee joints. Cannot go wrong here, every dish is delicious, as are the drinks! Also, the meatball pho is GF!!! So amazing for the celiacs of the world.
