Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Birmingham

April Milner

This place is amazing! Haven’t had anything bad but the bbq burger was extra good and you’ve got to have the fried Oreos.

Jennifer Jarvis

Thank you for having Gluten Free options. GF buns, designated fry fryer etc! My celiac son can enjoy eating here.

Love that I can safely eat delicious gluten free food here!

Melissa Barrett

Had a delicious breakfast and piping hot coffee. Delicious. Very attentive service. Wonderful to have gluten free options. Would visit all the time if I lived in Birmingham. Nice spot to eat and do a little work.

Raulita Geiger

Best gluten free pizza I've ever had! My husband even liked it - you really can't tell it's gluten free.

Daniel Lynn

Great Gluten Free pasta.

Kandi Lantz

Great gluten free buns. Food was delicious

Thankful that they offer dietary options, although the staff could be better trained. Was told I could have the Brussel sprouts (coated in soy sauce - "because it was soy based" - I have celiac disease). After spending $32 for 10" rectangular pizza (3 toppings) that was so-so, I'm not keen on returning.

Tucker C

Me and my fiance love this place. With her being celiac she is limited in her options for dining out. Baha is really good about being gluten free and everyone is always so nice!

Mark M

Outstanding food and vibe. Service was excellent. Lisa was our server, and gets 5 stars as well. Full GF menu. I have Celiac, and had ZERO issues with my meal. It's the salmon photo... We travel through Birmingham several times a year, and have decided that Seasons 52 is our spot.

Natalie Black

Love Wasabi Juans! My husband loves Mexican and I love sushi, so it's a perfect combination. The staff here are great. I have celiac disease and they are very accommodating with the gluten free options and very mindful. Definitely a must to visit Wasabi Juans!

Marissa Marsh

Absolutely LOVE this place. So freaking grateful to have an amazing family run this restaurant. They have amazing gluten free AND organic options!! My favorite meal is absolutely the Garlic Chicken Plate with rice and beets. I also love adding their fresh tahini!! As an appetizer I go for the pickles, olives and baba ghanoush (the eggplant side). I love that they have kombuchas and organic wines 🙌 PLUS they have family meal options for those nights I don’t want to cook this is my SAVOR!!

Erika Parker

The gluten-free pizza 🍕 was phenomenal 😋

Fannetra (ladykiradragon)

Gluten free menu available. Be prepared to wait on busy days but definitely worth the wait.

Zachary Compton

Celiac Friendly

Kat Yates

We love Slice! Our favorite local pizza and beer joint. We’ve never had a pizza that disappointed. I will say, even my gluten-loving husband prefers their GF pizza crust to the regular one! (I do too). White Shadow and Hot Mama are our favorite flavors. Their salads are also amazing! (And generous which we appreciate). Got the cheesecake once and it did NOT disappoint. The wings are good but expensive - you can find more wings for less elsewhere. Can’t beat the $5 wine and draft beer happy hour though!

Kathryn DuVal

absolutely love Mooyah!! they have the BEST burgers anddd they have gluten free buns! great sweet potato fries as well

Victor Nguyen

Went here for dinner. We were greeted and seated by a nice guy but our waiter was alright in service. Not many vegan options clearly listed. I got the Gado Gado Salad, Vegetable Roll, and Panang Curry. I asked if the Purple Sweet Potato Fries were vegan and our waiter said they come in premade so they were not vegan. I'm always skeptical of Asian restaurants because they usually do not know what Vegan is and they usually use MSG, artificial flavors, colors/dyes, preservatives, and other low quality ingredients. I've been to previous Asian restaurants and when they say it is Vegan or MSG free, it is not because they do not know what that means. It would be nice if the menu was more organized for people with dietary restrictions like vegan, gluten free, etc. The atmosphere was alright.

Kimberly Lucas

An amazing dining experience! Dinner with my friends while traveling for work. I had amazing oysters from PEI and the smoked fish dip is next level good. My friend got the pork belly appetizer and loved it. I am gluten intolerant and I had plenty of options and modifications were made available. We all had fish, from Mahi to flounder and everyone was happy. Our server Jonathan was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The bar had good options and my French 75 was well balanced and tasty. Spendy,but worth the splurge. I highly recommend this place!

Rachael Gallant

Ask for Chloe! She was amazing! Food was good! They had a good selection of Gluten free options!!

Gene Burchfield

Always a great experience! Extremely busy location but the food always comes out quickly. Lots of clearly marked gluten free options!

Erin Holmes

We have been to dozens and dozens of Indian restaurants, but this one was a stand out. The atmosphere is very modern, and decorated beautifully for the Christmas holidays. The drinks were the best surprise. There were Indian-fusion versions of classics like old fashions and cosmos. Also, the menu was very clear about which items met dietary restrictions such as daily, gluten, and peanuts. As someone who can't eat gluten, that was very welcome. The waiter was very patient and gave us time to review the extensive menu. The bartender was experimenting with some new drinks he tried on us as well. Food was top notch and service was very friendly. We'll back for sure! Probably tomorrow :-)

Chris Ellis

Billie Jo was an excellent my server and our breakfast was very good. I have celiac and must eat gluten free so I love knowing this is a place I can go and not have to worry about a reaction.

Cristy Creates

Repeated my order 3x as he nodded continuously like he heard me the first time but kept getting it wrong. I still got the wrong thing. Asked for crunchy tacos,pork and queso cheese with side of rice. The only thing I got right was the rice and pork. No cheese and had to take meat off the soft shells after I went up and got my cheese. I wouldn't have cared but I can't eat wheat flour. Have to try to eat gluten free due to celiac. It also wasn't good. I could have went to taco Bell and it would have been better. My granddaughters order was all messed up too. We're sweet girls and I don't like leaving a bad review but it is what it is...he also rolled his eyes as I was trying to make sure he'd gotten it right. We spent 30 bucks and left hungry.

Mateah Kittle

Loved it here! Really cool vibe and they were allergen friendly. I’m gluten free and dairy free, and they were knowledgeable and accommodating. Thanks!

sara g

This is one of my favorite spots in B'ham. As someone who's gluten free, I love the wings and Buffalo cauliflower bites. Service could be better, but it's definitely not a deterrent. You can park across the street at Avondale Park. The atmosphere is laid back and enjoyable.

RBill

Food items I've purchased have been very well seasoned and good. I like the gluten free options. Very friendly staff. All my orders have been pickup so I can't give 5 stars since I haven't dined in

Kevin Nix

Great food and lots of Gluten Free options

Paula Ward

Enjoyed my gluten free grilled cheese! My son enjoyed his chicken pesto sandwich. Server was friendly and attentive. The tea was delicious and fresh. Will definitely eat here again!

Joseph DeSciose

I have been a loyal Red Cat customer for many years. My wife who is gluten-free has always loved the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Recently those gluten-free muffins have been reduced to a third of the original size that they were a month ago. But the price is the same. This is shrink-flation at its most ridiculous level. This is not fair to any of your customers, you could at least try to reduce the price a little bit.

Elena Schmitt

Very tasty gluten free bread/breakfast/ Really delicious gluten free bread/breakfast

Riley Zane

The new gluten free bowtie noodles were great! I couldn't even tell that they were gluten free! Definitely will be getting more. Also you can substitute almost any pasta entree dish with the gluten free, so lots of good options for those who cannot eat gluten

Randy Ford

The food was very good, and fit well into a keto diet. Service was fast and the place was clean. They take steps to avoid gluten for those sensitive, but there are some holes in their process. Replacing a spoon in a dish that has touched glutenous food then was placed back in the dish does not remove the gluten that has already been introduced. Using a new spoon is a start, but the contaminated food in the dish must also be replaced. (They did open a new container of cheese and lettuce.)

We stopped here last night after a basketball game at BJCC. We took a chance that this would be a good place to eat. We were wrong. It was GREAT !!! The pulled pork was very moist and delicious. Not a shred of dryness at all and SO much flavor. The cheese grits are to die for. The greens were very very good. The fried green tomatoes were top notch. Our table had 8 at it. Everyone got something different and everyone loved what they got. Absolutely NO complaints. The wait wasn’t long for the food. Everything was delicious and fresh. I’m from Tuscaloosa and will go up there to eat again just because it’s that good. The service was very good. If you’re going as a large crowd on a weekend night there isn’t much room for a large group. The dining area has booths and a few tables you can push together but those were taken when we got there. They have a bar area with lots of stools. It’s delicious!!! Go there!! They do not disappoint!! Oh- I have celiac and got the grits and greens over grits and it didn’t make me ill at all. Gluten friendly!!

Laura Bettencourt

My business partner and I travel across the US for work and this has been hands down the tastiest, most authentic Greek cuisine we’ve had. Our server, Grace was incredible. She went above and beyond to accommodate our gluten allergies and gave excellent recommendations. We wish we could get this food back home!

Barry Copeland

The perfect evening for our 53rd anniversary. They have a varied menu with lots of emphasis on gluten free options. Service was impeccable. Easy valet parking. Wonderful evening!

Rojo is a staple in the area and I can’t imagine Birmingham without it! Tucked in beautiful Highland Park this gem is a must stop for the local atmosphere and diverse eats. Many gluten free/vegan options, dine in or to go… stuck at home? DoorDash it!!! You have to try the David’s Quesadilla, it’s a personal favorite. Stop in for open mic night for a good time or visit during any other special nights/events. Thank you for everything Rojo!❤️

Carolyn Maddox

There are few restaurants who allow in-person dining and fewer where the quality of the product is worth your time and money. But, Blueprint on 3rd elevated itself to the top of the Birmingham local food chain and has remained there thanks to the leadership of Owner/Operator Dean and Head Chef Puck!! When I called for what I thought was an impossible order Dean checked with the Chef then emailed and called me back with what was the best meal I’ve had alllllll pandemic and beyond!!! He provided an exquisite 3-course meal mindful of our gluten-free, vegetarian and meat lovers desires that was ready at/before pick-up time which a smiling and happy team presented in symphony!! My goodness, how wonderful an afternoon we had with this meal and we will forever remember the day we dined with Blueprint on 3rd!!!

Matthew Oberlin

What a great little find!! We were looking for something different that was gluten-free, and they did not disappoint. Delicious.

Disclaimer: I am gluten free, but not celiac, and do not have immediate reactions to gluten exposure. I am giving my experience based on taste and service. As always, how "safe" the food is for other gluten free people may vary depending on your sensitivity. I love eating here. The staff is always so friendly and try to help even if things (like issues with the app) are outside of their control. If anything has ever been amiss, they are always eager to fix the situation. I go here for gluten free pizzas and some of the best gluten free bread buns I've ever had. Always tastes super fresh, and the bread doesn't fall apart immediately like other gf bread buns. They have also been knowledgeable about things when I've asked them about menu items being gluten free. I also like that it's not outrageous to make an item gluten free here, so I'm not feeling bad about having to pay way more. Environment-wise, I always ordered togo, so I'm not sure how clean or nice the restaurant itself is to eat in, but food-wise my experience has been 10/10. Pictured: Turkey Bacon Club on gluten free bun. So good!

Bethany Oglesby

I visited the Hop City location, and was served the best GLUTEN FREE pizza I’ve ever had! When I say you couldn’t tell the bread was gluten free, I mean it had the same crunch, fluff and moisture as alternative breads. I can’t state how amazing this bread was, you’ll have to go try it your self.

Erin Culhane

Amazing! I wasn’t sure if there would be anything I could eat, but they accommodate gluten-free vegetarians! Kids loved the chicken and waffles with strawberry butter. Shoutout to Callan for the fantastic service!

Gluten friendly it is not. If you have celiac you won’t be able to eat here, period. My family decided to eat here because usually Mexican restaurants are easy to navigate with a gluten intolerance. This was probably the most difficult restaurant I’ve ever visited, aside from maybe a bakery. The manager said they recently changed their roasted chicken and it now contains gluten, so there was not a single protein I could eat. That was a challenge I’ve never encountered. The queso had it. Even the ranch dip on the table contained gluten—which I ate prior to the manager letting me know— it never occurred to me ranch might have it. Again, something I’ve never seen before. I will say the staff was extremely nice about it, which is why I didn’t take the review under 3 stars. They even comped my meal for the issues (the first dish they brought out clearly had ingredients the manager mentioned had gluten) and never charged me for the guacamole taco they had to replace it with, which was completely unnecessary but appreciated. If they had just one protein option it would’ve been an completely different experience. I’ve never been to a sit down restaurant where I couldn’t even order a protein—-usually it’s the go to fallback. With it being such a common issue, I hope one day they can try to be just a little accommodating, especially given that it’s widely assumed a Mexican restaurant will have plenty of options.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND for a healthy and Gluten Free breakfast spot. Has much healthier and absolutely clean breakfast/brunch dishes and drinks to offer. I love First Watch spots, they’re definitely similar to the brunch restaurants in Downtown San Diego and Mission Beach, CA.

Stephen Kimbrough

The food was amazing! I've been trying to eat healthy (no dairy or gluten) and the staff was amazing in helping find options for me. The steak and spinach salad with lemon emulsion was straight up delicious.

Michael Medlin

We like to stop by here when we're in Birmingham. There are a couple things you just have to get... Orange rolls and a skillet cookie. My goodness. Get a salad and a water if you need to offset the sweets, but just do it. Even if you're lactose intolerant, suffer through it and get the skillet cookie. If you are sensitive to gluten, ignore what you know to be the right thing to do and get the orange rolls.

Megan Green

Gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are a must when here!!

Joel Munoz III

It was our first time going here and the staff was very helpful and explained the menu wonderfully. Gluten free options! The host even advised against certain dishes that seemed like they were gluten free but weren't 💓 10/10 would go again! Food was delicious!!!
