Top 32 Gluten-Free Late-Night Spots to Enjoy in Cedar Rapids

Daniel Galis

Great burgers and fries! Very accommodating and celiac safe. Would definitely come back the staff are very knowledgeable as well!

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!

Marques Garrett

While it’s not my choice of atmosphere, it certainly serves the clientele. I was thrilled to see the vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free sections on the menu. That makes it super clear and helpful. The service on a Monday night in January was quick and kind. Very grateful

Great place if you have celiac family members!

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

Zeppelins is such a wonderful experience every single time we go. The food is near perfection, I love that this restaurant has a gluten free menu and takes allergies seriously. I have never had any issues while eating at this restaurant. The happy hour that runs everyday is such always a bonus on top of the wonderful and excellent service we receive from the staff. I wanna give a special shoutout to Ben, who is such a wonderful server and just perfection. He is always excited to see us, makes us feel welcomed and wanted there. He always remembers our drinks, checks out throughout the night and always says when the bill is given he is still around if needed. He is always a pleasure and we love asking for him! We appreciate you! I would also like to give another shoutout to Maddie who is always at the hostess stand, she always make sure we feel special, always has the gluten free menu for us and recalls our name. She’s always a light to our visit, we always love walking in and she’s there and welcoming us like old friends. We appreciate you so much!!

They knew what to do with my celiace

Great gluten free menu

Olivia Adams

I just had a get together with what I thought was going to be 10 people, and ended up having closer to 20. The server (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name) was awesome and so flexible with us. She was also supportive of my request to not offer alcoholic beverages, as I'm in recovery. They also had gluten free kids pizza that was delicious! Everyone's food came out in an awesome amount too time considering how many people there were including a couple of the guests that came a little after we showed up. I am extremely grateful for the kindness of the staff 🙏 even when our children weren't seated and going to the toy machines and back. Great place. Thank you so much 💓

We got salads which were good. A decent amount of the menu items can be prepared gluten free. Speak to the manager about celiac safety since the servers were not as knowledgeable. Overall I would come here again, and I felt comfortable having celiac disease.

Danielle Hoske

Great customer service, waited a bit for first round of drinks but overall good experience. Would be helpful to have a gluten free menu or indicators of gf options on the menu.

Crystal Dean

Good food! Have gluten free options

I called ahead and spoke with the chef ahead of going here for a group event. They answered my questions for celiac accommodations and said that they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, that they do not toast their GF buns near regular ones (they steam them), and that they often serve orders for people with celiac. I felt confident going into the dinner the next day after that conversation. Unfortunately, when I ordered the server told me that the gluten-free fryer was not running that night. They offered a salad or soup as a side instead of the fries. I do believe they can accommodate celiac needs but suggest calling that day and confirming that the fryer is up and running if you are looking forward to ordering something that would require it!

Theresa Jones

Great staff, great food! Nice gluten free options.

Sarah Schildmeier

Excellent food. Great gluten free friendly selection!

Jennifer Sorg

We enjoyed an excellent, unique dinner here last night and can't wait to go back. They have something for everyone, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc. The vegan pate board they featured for vegan week was amazing. I will be thinking about that for a long time! Daniel and Armina do a great job and really care about their guest's experience. Highly recommend when you're tired of the usual Iowa menus served at other places. Cocktails looked fantastic but we had a delicious Tempranillo. This is a restaurant that deserves support from the community because it adds a different and delicious dining experience.

We ordered food to go. I am gluten free and the manager took extra care to make my basket without contamination. The food was amazing. They have amazing burgers but their fries might be the best! The bacon was also perfectly crisp and real tasting!

I've been in Chicagoland for over 25 years, and this was the first time back at L's in a couple centuries. It was the same great experience with a distinct pizza smell that met us at the front door. Great memories renewed. Excellent experience from service to ambiance to food. My wife, a first timer with gluten allergies, is already talking about the return trip.

BISCUIT WAS GOO… (See pics) Last attempt for us to eat at this place ; my wife can only eat gluten, so we get a pizza & I had a chicken dinner… The biscuit was NOT cooked and it was a pile of GOO…we did not eat anything ; god only knows what could have happened to us?!. Process… Drove up to window & ordered. Waited 25mins $40 on entire meal Drove home. I called and talked to a 12yr old manager who was not willing to do anything but credit the $16 for the chicken dinner… What the hell ever happened to trying to retain a customer or go the extra bit and give me something for the wasted meal, the time and the hassle?!. (price gauging and nothing with regards to customer service) EAT AT BUFFETS AT YOUR OWN RISK WHILE GOING BROKE!!!🤬 To the snotty 12yr old who I spoke to at 8pm Saturday night October 28th - #karma Really look at the pictures… Regards, A teacher

We enjoyed a work event at the Pickle Palace. The employees were fun! The food was amazing - options for gluten-free were flavourful.

KJ McGraw

Cedar Rapids— great food, great atmosphere, great service, damn good Bloody Mary no frills just good. Hard to beat the price point! Wish we could have stayed for the band. Lots of gluten free options too. Can’t wait to try the Sunday Brunch….went back for the buffet, give the buffet a stand alone 5-stars. Been there several times now, each time a different server - each server 10 stars!

Corrina Stone

Some of the BEST Mexican food I have had in a long time. ( I dont say this lightly I am from San Jose Ca) I cannot believe how lucky I was I found this little gem in Iowa. Staff was amazing and knew how to make me gluten free food so I was free to eat without worry.

Karen Marshall (Kkm)

Our server was knowledgeable about gluten and was able to help with my food choices. My pulled pork was good and a huge portion without a bun.

They offer gluten free burgers using a lettuce bun.

Lou James

Great first visit…this is my new go-to Mexican place. Nice staff, delicious, fresh ingredients and reliable gluten free tacos if you order with a corn tortilla. Full array of drinks and a nice, clean, updated interior. I was pleasantly surprised - this is not your typical taco or Mexican place. Highly recommend!

Peter Shaw

Nice restaurant with good food. Service was good and it’s nice inside the restaurant. They have a gluten free menu that is greatly appreciated.

Jackie Ferg

Gluten free pizza was sooo good...I ordered 2 days in a row. Thanks whoever made it 💃🏽💃🏽

I have celiac disease, and the staff at OBH was so attentive to my needs! Trinity, our excellent server, consulted several times with the chef, AJ, who came out to finalize my selection. He took great care in the preparation of my chicken bacon ranch avocado sandwich -on a gluten free bun, making sure surfaces were cleaned before my food was prepped, etc., and came out afterward to be sure I was pleased with the meal. I have only had two other times in a gluten-friendly restaurant when staff showed great for my dietary needs, and this experiencence went above and beyond those. They set a very high bar! We will be back and will ask for Trinity to be our server - she is so kind, fun, and helpful! Another member of our party had shepherd's pie, which I also photographed. Others enjoyed a reuben, brown sugar brick house burger, bolognese, and a "regular" chicken bacon ranch avocado sandwich and shared the reuben wonton app. A whiskey sour (also pictured) and smoked old fashioned were tasty accompaniments to our meals. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great food. Nice family that owns and runs the place. They went out of their way and called me twice about a request on an online order to make sure they got it right. I asked for no sauce, since most contain gluten/wheat and I have Celiacs Disease. They called and said that "white sauce" was an option. They said it contained cornstarch, salt, ect. so I said sure I'll try that. Made it much better!! I usually just ordered plain steamed veggies and chicken, and the white sauce really improved the flavor. So if you're gluten-free, make sure to ask for NO SOY SAUCE (because it's integral to most dishes) and for "white sauce" to replace whatever it normally contains. It was much appreciated. Lot's of places will not customize like that. Thank you!

Ben put his heart and soul into this creation for my celiac bowels. Thank you! Awesome service. Love Ann

Had lunch here with son #3. He did a high-school project in marketing with the owner. Mmm great stuff. Had the cod pub sandwich with tots as side. My son had gluten free burger. We were both excited about the number of pickles! Plus it was really great tasting! Wow they even toasted the buns (see picture). Just right thx!
