Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Aurora

Jesse Huebner

Hard to put words to the experience. The food, the service, the recommendations, the atmosphere, the wine - everything was just perfect. All the dishes are intended to share and make sure you get a good variety including a couple of the large plates. The bass was cooked to perfection and the steak frites were unbelievable, just to name a few of the dishes we tried. No wonder the chef is a James Beard winner and Annette was named Denver’s best restaurant in 2019. We also had our 3 year old daughter with us and my wife is gluten free and vegetarian and they had no problem accommodating. They even have a cute little curated kids menu. They take walk ins but I highly recommend a reservation. This is your sign to go.

Not Celiac safe. While they do have gluten free items on the menu, the kitchen is very small and cross contaminated. I got a salad, thinking it would be safe and I was extremely sick from it for a long time. I'm thinking that flour just settles everywhere. Very good food. Not safe for people with celiac.

Gluten free chicken fried rice was amazing! Incredible. My whole group loved their meals. And my cocktail was perfectly balanced. Will be returning.

Melissa Charles

We were hopeful because of all the Gluten Free options for me. Atmosphere really sucked! I was served the wrong Omelette and it took forever to get the replacement. Overall I would NEVER go back. $60 bucks for a mediocre breakfast for two people, no thank you!!!!

Jenn Whitling

When we go in, the pizza and salad are great. When we pre-order, generally there's an error or something is missing. But we love this place anyways! The people are friendly, and it's one is the few places I can get a gluten free dairy free TASTY pizza.

Ate here while visiting my sister, her and her husband love this place. And I needed a gluten-free pizza which they serve here which was really delicious. Would recommend it.

Emma C

Love their selection of gluten friendly options! Seriously, what is BJ’s without a pizookie? So glad my server Tajy pointed out they had a gluten free option. She was awesome and made the whole dining experience 10x better!!

Rebecca Fletchinger

I came here tonight. Had placed a togo order. I'm still starving as my calzone had ingredients I had opted out of. I don't necessarily blame legends, but I'm hungry, and your online ordering app is not adequate. I've eaten here a lot, my sister is gluten free. They accommodate nicely. I'll think twice about spending my money here in the future.

Leslie Branson

Christina always takes care of us, and the food is so good. Top notch service and food; what more could you ask?! We have two members with Celiacs, so a place with gluten-free options that takes the right precautions is always a win for our family.

Jared Sims

Scott was awesome! The food was delicious and well prepared. It actually looked like the picture you see in the advertisement! The smash fries were perfect, not too oily with the perfect amount of seasoning. Our food came out quick as well and the customer service was excellent. We are gluten intolerant, so Smash Burger is one of the places we can set at regularly, this by far has been the best Smash Burger we have eaten at and we have tried quite a few across Colorado.

great brunch deals and gluten free options. my partner loves the pickle speers, and the hot links. glad to find another great spot in the neighborhood

Rachael dean

Gluten free buns available!

Sari Barnes

Some of the best coffee and breakfast items, plus they offer gluten free food items! I love Ziggi's!

Lois Andereck

Last evening we went to Athenian's for dinner with a friend. When we walked in they asked if we had a reservation. "No" we replied, thinking we had a long wait ahead. Two other parties came in with no reservations. Amazingly, the staff quickly opened up another room and we were seated within about 5 minutes! The food was amazing and for me the gluten free meal was awesome. Unfortunately, I did not get our incredible server's name. . Give them a try, truly a wonderful, welcoming restaurant.

T Klup

If you're gluten free, don't bother going here

Bill Gilbert

Great wings! Gluten Free stuff also a big bonus.

Maureen Maycheco

I love Parkside Eatery. I'm so happy Aurora has a spot like this, a central bar with food stalls. I love the variety and the atmosphere. The bartenders were welcoming and provided great service. Our food was delicious, and there is a food-allergy friendly stall. I had no issues ordering with my gluten and dairy restrictions. The space is big and open with TV's and electrical outlets if you need to charge a phone or lap top. The vibes are good at this place. 10/10

I visited this location on August 21st with my mom and daughter and to say this was an amazing experience is an understatement. My mother had never been to 5 guys and after me telling her about how good the food was, she wanted to try it. not only the food was fresh and delicious, the staff was extremely friendly and professional. Vitalii took my order and was very careful of our Gluten Allergy request. He was friendly and welcoming! Great overall experience! Great job 5 guys and team! Please give recognition to Vitalli and others.

Nice quiet coffee shop located in a church. A great place on a cold snowy day. I had a Chai with oatmilk. Nice to drink or of a real mug. I ate a burrito bowl with chorizo, flavor was excellent, I enjoy that they put tutorials tots in the burritos. There are a few gluten free options. Atmosphere is nice, would have been nice is they had a working fire place today 🥶.

Skye Leopard

I haven't had a meal this good outside of home cooking, ever. It was as if I was transported to Germany and ate an authentic home cooked meal. So delicious, and the atmosphere was enchanting. It's definitely one of my new favorites. I can't wait to go back! Also, they have vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options.

Sarah Greufe

Get the gluten-free falafel and chocolate bundt cake! It is sooo good and the owner is so welcoming.

Hugh Carlin

This is a hidden gem. This place is always clean and the people are very nice. My wife appreciates the fact that the are good at gluten-free and loves the pad thai. They have the best drunken noodles.

Nadima Souzan

My mother has Celiac's Disease, and the restaurant was not only able to accommodate her need for gluten free options, but made it so easy for her. They were very contentious about cross contamination while preparing her food. I would recommend the location to everyone Thanks Chipotle!

Gina Paproski

Gluten free waffles and pancakes are delish!! Made my day

I went for matcha and a gluten free pastry and they had neither. I ordered a spicy chai and patter bar instead and both were good. I’d probably go more often if they had more options. Staff was kind and quick to prepare drink.

Mandy Feldgreber

They used to be wonderful and had all sorts of gluten free and dairy free options. Once they expanded and got fancier them menu changed and there is very little we can eat there. So sad it used to be our favorite place in Aurora. Service and atmosphere is still nice. Just bummed about the changes.

Ashley Gibbard

Great spot for quicker and healthier asian food/bowls, sushi, and stir fry. Lots of options for dairy and gluten free. The staff was helpful with helping me select sauces. I was a little surprised the bowl consisted of mainly rice versus the vegetables towering over when I ordered every single one. I'd stop here again for quick healthy affordable bites. Plus options for almost any person or kid! They also have teas, soda, and other beverages on site.

Edgar

Food was great They made a mistake with gluten free bread however the way they handled it was great and so was the rest of the food

Sue Watson

I was able to get a gluten-free cauliflower crust on a build my own pizza. It was delicious. The service was wonderful. The music could have been a bit quieter, but nice. All in all, it was a good experience.

Danielle Clark

Staff is always really nice and takes good care of our food following allergy protocol for celiac disease. It is one of the only places we trust and food is always fresh.

Shaina Honsberger

Today we were told that they will no longer put a “allergy” on the grilled nuggets and the staff gets upset when asked to change their gloves. Love chic fil a, but no longer feel this location is celiac friendly.

Amulyn C. B.

Absolutely wonderful customer service, excellent espresso and handcrafted coffee beverages and teas. They carry dairy free alternatives. They also also offer a variety of pastries including gluten free and a fair amount of ice creams. Delicious!

Alejandra Vega

The Gluten-Free mac n cheese was horrible. The noodles were hard and it tasted as if they only added the cheese and not cooked the noodles. The place was dirty, and my soda tasted like water.

Angel Dotson

The food was hot, our order was correct and service was fast and friendly. I love that they have salads, grilled options and even gluten free options.

John Gabriel

Excellent. Food was so fresh and the flavors so unique. Fast service. Very friendly waitress (Спасибо Anna!). Everything is homemade. We are foodies and wanted to try everything. We’re also gluten free and found many things to try. Can’t recommend it high enough. :-)

Jen A

If you've never been to this shop, go now!!! The decor, lovely baristas, excellent atmosphere! Just go now! Then go get a mochi donut next door!!! *Celiac community, sadly the machine spot is not gluten free. So enjoy Coffee Story instead!!!!

Deborah Tracy

Culver's has good food, good service, and I love that they offer a gluten free bun.

Noodle Man

As with most Ethiopian restaurants I’ve been to in the are, go for the food and authenticity not the ambiance. Food was delicious and they have gluten free injera (the spongey bread that you eat with). Always a fun experience eating with your hands as is traditional. Venture out and try something new! The vegetarian combo is big enough to split for 2!

Noodle Man

The drinks on tap are solid with a nice variety of beer, some cocktails, seltzer, a gluten free beer, and mocktails. Something for everyone! Cool that you can prepay for everything in the beginning so that when you’re ready to leave, you don’t have to wait for waiter/waitress! The food… isn’t great though. The wings were fine. The salad was bland. The fish and chips were way too greasy. The green chili pork tots were pretty good though! If you’re coming for drinks, fun spot. Just get food somewhere else in Stanley Marketplace.

Ian Rypkema

Absolutely delicious! Fun atmosphere with outdoor seating. Friendly to light gluten intolerance (all the wings are fried in the same oil but they are not breaded as far as I could tell).

Des Rose

I love that they have gluten free options! This is always my go-to place when I want to do a pick up order because they always get it right and it's quick.

Raine

This was cool. I went to drive thru, they had about 4 staff members, masks on, tablets in hand with menus attached. They take your order to avoid long lines and wait time for food. BRILLIANT SYSTEM! The young man (very tall, husky build, happy personality) that took my order even helped me by suggesting a cookie crumble on my parfait along with granola, that was tasty! The staff outside knows their menu front to back to make suggestions, SEAMLESS VISIT. I will stop by again! Need gluten free or trying to lose calories? Get their Grilled Chicken Nuggets! Decent choice!

Jen A

Mmmm gluten free goodness. The coffee was lovely. The hash was bomb. Go treat yoself!

I’m a financial planner - CFP®️practitioner - with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare®️) My travel companion and I found this place after a long day of travel from the East Coast to Denver. We were looking for something to eat that had gluten free options and open late on a Sunday. What a great find! It’s located in the Stanley Marketplace, itself a great tourist location. Not only did they have a GF bun so I could eat a traditional burger, the best part was that their classic smash burger (with fired pickles and onions) was the best burger I’ve ever had, and I’m not exaggerating. Try it! The staff was friendly and attentive. I noted that they are on openly LGBTQ-friendly establishment which is important to me for the comfort of my family. This place is also well suited to kids, singles, couples and retirees alike. It has a bit of a retro feel which is fun. I noted that the prices were fair, food quality excellent and the place was clean. I was very pleased with our choice after such a long day. Lastly, if you have any mobility needs, the entire place is spacey enough to accommodate most needs. Keeping in mind this is a burger and breakfast joint, they get 5 stars.

Alexis Chavez

Delicious tonkatsu ramen, option for rice noodles (although no truly gluten free ramen because of soy sauce). The pad Thai was tasty but not a standout and it included a generous portion of protein. The service was very friendly and one of the fastest I've been to in awhile. Extra hint: try some chili sauce in the tonkatsu; it's earthy, slightly bitter, and combines wonderfully

Maureen Maycheco

Enjoyed this spot. There was a lovely rare Denver breeze with garage doors up so the experience felt vacationy. They accommodate gluten-free here but it's not labeled or listed on the menu or website (which is a bummer) so you have to ask or guess. Food and cocktails were good. Service was great. Enjoyed some trendy orange wine per my friends rec.

Ken Trbovich

Hidden gem, close to CU Anschutz Medical Center. Excellent service—given easier access for mobility impaired that required server to cross entire restaurant to serve us and she did an incredible job. Solid menu with Gluten-free options and excellent drink menu.

El Meson de Liz is a home away from home. Thanks so much for coming into our neighbourhood and bringing your delicious food. We are so lucky that you chose this location. Here is a picture of the server bringing me extra cheese 😅 while also taking care of my dietary gluten free restraints. You can even make small special events more special. Thanks for everything you do to create an amazing restaurant with delightful, caring staff. I got dine in this time, but I do take out for special suppers and events too 🥳 1bajillion percent out of hundred recommend this delicious restaurant.
