Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Iowa for Late-Night Cravings

Jacinda Daniel

Everything is gluten free which was amazing, I didn't have to worry about only getting to choose from two items on the menu. The salsa options were a bit odd, there was a cheese/yogurt type dip among the four they give you and it just didn't fit with the Latino flavors well, it was more Mediterranean in taste. Definitely pricier for how much food you get but the chips are a free refill. When I asked about diet pop options I was told they didn't have any but they have what appeared to be a full bar with a fountain pop sprayer (which normally would have at least one diet option). The only thing I could have to drink was water there (I'm a type one diabetic and regular pop is a bad situation).

Stephanie Dowdy

Love this place. Great gluten free options & excellent service!

Natalie Clark

I highly recommend any of the burgers, pizzas, and especially the chicken tenders. LOVE

Amy Medford

Delightful place. The food is amazing, the space is cozy, the atmosphere is neighborly. It is a local pub with really cool maps on the wall. They offer delicious vegan (and soy free !) food. It can even be gluten free. Service is great and friendly.

Jon Burk

Endless food and bottomless mimosas/bloody marys/mixed drinks is a hell of a way to start a weekend. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and there were plenty of options for gluten free eaters.

Cortez Jones

Had the BEST experience here. Trying to find a restaurant that offers a gluten free menu as well as regular with no discernible differences in taste is 1 in a million and buzzard Billy’s is exactly that. Any time we ever come back it will be good at BB. Kristen, Kela and shiree are the best servers EVER!

My chicken chiabatta sandwich was a bit dry and the food selection was limited, but they did have substantial gluten free options. The setting and staff were very nice, making it an overall excellent experience.

Chris Clark

They're pizza is fantastic & they've got the best gluten free crust I've ever had! The reason they have a perfect score is because they brought us the wrong pizza, but next they not only brought out the correct pizza, but it was also the largest size possible at no extra charge & they comped our drinks! Thet were extremely apologetic & everything was delicious. It was a long wait, but well worth it.

Kelly Gesling

Good pizza. Glad to see gluten-free crust options now available! Got a (huge) medium all Canadian bacon, half pineapple, half sauerkraut. Could definitely have used more sauerkraut! Other than that and the obnoxious post game day patrons at a nearby table, it was a good experience. Waiter was great!

Oryza has become a staple of our Asian food expeditions whenever the desire arises. The primary reason is my wife has Celiac’s and therefore must avoid gluten. Oryza fortunately uses corn based flour, not wheat. This wizardy allows food allergen victims to be able to eat from their diverse menu. Their food preparation is excellent. The atmosphere is chill. The service is fantastic. We’ve had only 1 negative experience and noticed that same server was not employed there for much longer. ANYWAYS- this is a great place for Asian cuisine. The owner is always friendly and recognizes us when we visit.

Hunter Gonzales

Food was delicious and decently priced, so many gluten free options. Service was quick and simple nice but not always checking up on you but consistent service overall. Kinda nosy but private as well. Definitely would come back as an outastater 👏

frances Anderson

Some of the best gluten free pizza. Also everything is fresh and good. Love the blood orange lemonade.

Luis Colon

Beautiful, cozy, esay going, clean, delicious food and excellent service. If you're in town, make time to visit. Do come with an empty stomach, servings are on the plentyfull side!!! Great variety of offerings with gluten-free and vegetarian plates as well as local meats.

Brad Wiese

Had Gluten free options.

Michelle Julius

Lots of gf options! The manager explained the menu which was clearly marked with many gluten free options. We enjoy the cheese curds from their dedicated fryer. Thanks to the Find Me Gluten free app for helping us find a celiac safe dining opinion in North East Iowa!

Nicholas Kalianoff

Great place to sit on the patio or watch the games. Very conscious about gluten free options also. Good drinks, reasonable prices.

ReFarming Microgreens

Not bad option for Gluten Free casual dining. The GF beer is amazing, but no potato vodka option like the Map Room. There is only one GF bun, so don't expect a "hoagie" with the Philly Cheese Steak - the flavor of which is good, but not great. I shied away from the special coleslaw due to the accents about the cilantro, but when I asked for a taste, it was good. And the black bean salad was AMAZING! (despite the canned beans). Only mildly busy on this Monday happy hour, but very friendly customers! B.T. Is not a fan of women on their own (observed over 2hrs).

We go to a lot of different Culvers for their gluten free buns, and this location somehow made it taste the best. The bun was piping hot when it came to us, and it was so soft and moist. It held together until we finished the burgers which wasn't our experience in other locations. It was during the lunch rush but the service was super fast through the drive-thru.

Kristy Droll

We had a wonderful meal at Tony’s. My daughter has celiac disease and there were so many gluten free options. The GF mozzarella sticks were AMAZING!! So nice to have gluten free options.

Peggy Albers

I had a gluten free pizza. It was Amazing!!!

Christeen

Burger shed had a separate Gluten-free menu. We all ordered from that menu as one in our family is Celiac. Food was great, gluten free buns were nice and was not charged extra for gf. It would be nice if they had a dedicated fryer for french fries, though. Celiac kids want fries too.

Apryl Gorton

I’m gluten-free, the hubs knows the difference between a drink and a good drink, and we both appreciate excellent food and service. 5 stars on all of the above. Whiskey Road in Cedar Falls is definitely our new favorite.

Amber Evans

I have celiac disease and my husband and I ordered a GF cheeseburger pizza. The guy who answered the phone to take my order was great! He told me when I order to make sure they know I have celiac and they will get all fresh bags out to prevent CC. The pizza was fabulous! It’s been a long time since I have had pizza so this definitely was a treat! Great service and amazing pizza!

Shad D

Food is good and servers have been friendly. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they got. Sweet potato fries seemed to be a hit. I had a Cartel burger and fries, very good with just enough spice from the chorizo that it had a little kick. There are also gluten free options available if one has the need.

K. Nic

Great food! Great staff! Most importantly, they have gluten free options for symptomatic celiac customers. They are more than willing and able to review which items are safe which does include the root beer. Love the new location, especially how they kept the homey feeling with the décor. The sense of humor is great if you take the time to read many of the signs.

Virginia k Schwartz

Excellent food and service. Gluten free buns available.

Shalen & Tiff DeBrower (Tee)

Great place if you have celiac family members!

Heather Turnmeyer

Great food, gluten free bun and vegan burger offered.

Brett Giberson

Great food! Excellent gluten free options. Awesome location. We will be back!

Penny Zaugg

Great gluten free option!!

Paula Bissell

Driving through Iowa, I decided to take a break at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers—and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, Calista’s friendly and welcoming attitude made the experience even better. She provided excellent service, ensuring everything was just right. The Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger was delicious, served on a gluten-free bun that was soft yet held together perfectly. And those sweet potato fries? Crispy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the meal! This location delivers on both great food and outstanding customer service. If you’re in the area and craving a satisfying meal, Red Robin won’t disappoint!

Robert Hatchitt

Just finished a dinner at Crave. Eight people at the table. ordered drinks. Ordered an IPA that was not in stock anymore, but on the menu. Ordered a gin martini. Lady coming back to the table with the drinks spilled my martini into the other water glasses and drinks on her serving tray. Handed me a glass 1/3 full of a standard martini glass. Mentioned no olives. Her her reply was she wasn’t sure if I wanted any. Asked for olives. In the hour and a half dinner they never came. Daughter ordered a gluten-free no cheese hamburger guess what; we had to re-order. Took so long due to timeframe. Had to leave with food to go. 20% gratuity due to being a table with eight people. Bullshit! Horrible service. Food is way overpriced. Will never go there again.

Trudie Derenne

Sofia was so great and really listened to my concerns of having gluten free food due to having celiac disease. She was very kind and service was great

Chris C

Gluten free bread actually taste like real bread!!! First time in a long time, food came out fast and hot and servers where super friendly

Tim Williams

Great burger place. Have Gluten-Free options for my daughter

Cari Roorda

We had dinner this evening as a party of 5. The staff seemed to work very well as a team and were super efficient and such speedy service . Our server, Tallie was amazing! With my special gluten free diet needs ,she was super attentive and knowledgeable, and even double checked on the status of my side of mushrooms for the delicious filet mignon to confirm they were gluten free-She was so attentive to our table and you could also see that the staff all seemed happy to be at work…assuming that means management is top notch and positive because the employees seemed so happy. So much attention went into not only the meals, cocktails and beverages, but the bus staff made rounds to keep our table clear of empty glasses, finished appetizer and salad plates and worked with the waitstaff to make sure we we comfortable and had an enjoyable meal! Wonderful! We’ll definitely be eating at the Outback steakhouse more often!

Jamie Goff

Their Gluten Free pizza is amazing!!! Went to order it on door dash and it wasn't showing up so I called the restaurant and spoke to Emily and she went above and beyond to get me my gluten free pizza. Second time we've ordered from them and both times its been fantastic!! Even better when the customer Service rocks!!

Michelle M.

Amazing! Probably the best dang burger I've ever had... the lil' Elvis and the phenomenal dirt balls were the icing on the cake. Gluten-free bun also available. I'd rate this more than 5 stars if it was possible.

Patrick Leitzen

This is an excellent place with fantastic service. They offer a gluten-free menu for those with dietary restrictions. Had a phenomenal experience there recently on a family outing, and Shannon, our server, truly went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. If I could put six stars in the 'service' category, I would.

D Nice

We visited the Ames location for the first time for a birthday and it was delicious! The service was prompt and attentive. Great selection of mocktails. Loved that it is quiet and you can easily carry on a conversation with others--even in a large group. Lots of gluten free options if you need those!

Duane Daugherty

One of the few places to serve gluten free options.

Bruce Graves

Best gluten free pizza anywhere

Cinda Kelly

I have extreme gluten allergy. Ordered s'room burger on gluten-free bun. Had trouble with fries last time so I ordered a salad NO CROUTONS . Of course when Uber gets here there are CROUTONS in and on my salad.

Tami Groth

Great food and service. We love their truffle fries, and appreciate their gluten free and vegetarian options.

James White

We were very saddened and disheartened to find that this restaurant no longer offers a gluten-free menu or are gluten-free fryer. If you are like us and came here regularly for gluten safe tasty food, they no longer have the menu or gluten-free frier.fries. very disappointed.

Jill King

First time to Smash Park & rented one of their party game rooms. Our party enjoyed great gluten free appetizers & had lots of fun with all the games & on pickleball court. The staff was friendly, timely, had great recommendations for planning our catering. I would recommend for your next party!

Colton Pierce

We had an awesome server. The food was also so good. I am gluten-free and they were very good at knowing what was gf and making sure it didn't cross contaminated! Awesome place and their salad bar is too die for!

Patty Tickal

Good food good service! Best gluten-free pizza around!

Brooke Weber

I have been here several times recently for brunch. This place knows what they are doing and they are really good at it: the atmosphere, the decor, the food, the service. The lattes here are the best in the area, hands down. Even the cups and saucers are beautiful and add to my enjoyment of the coffee drinks. I want the exact cups for my own home. The seasonal latte flavors are creative and never overly sweet. I do love a pumpkin spice latte, and St. Kilda has the best. I was interested in a seasonal mocha and was hesitant to order it for fear it would be too sweet, but the server told me more about it so I decided to try it. It was the best mocha I’ve ever had with the perfect balance of flavors and just the right amount of sweetness. Everything that’s a part of the Big Aussie Breakfast is prepared to perfection: thick cut bacon, delicious blistered roasted tomatoes, perfectly crispy house-made bread. Even the gluten-free bread is excellent. Last week my boyfriend got a hashbrown on the side and it was the best hashbrown I’ve ever had - a lovely soft texture on the inside and perfectly crispy all the way around on the outside. The last 3 times I’ve eaten there, we’ve had the same server. I love her! Very friendly, relatable, and a bit quirky in the best possible way. After our last visit, I decided St. Kilda in Valley Junction is my favorite place for brunch.

Julie Colson

I love their pizza, just the right amount of sauce, and their gluten free crust is the best in town!
