Top 13 Gluten-Free Spots to Enjoy Outdoor Dining in Downtown Jacksonville

Diana Chisolm

BB's is consistently exceptional. I have never had anything short of an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food is always outstanding, with each dish hitting the mark. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere creates the perfect setting for a delightful brunch, lunch, or dinner experience. Let's talk about their desserts – they are absolute dream-inducers. On two separate Sundays, I invited friends to join me for lunch after Sunday service, introducing them to BB's for the first time. Without fail, each person left impressed and became a lifelong customer. Even I wonder if I'll be included in their return visits, as BB's continues to live up to its reputation. As someone who requires gluten-free options, I am delighted that BB's offers an array of choices for me. On this visit, I relished the warm goat salad without the croutons, a truly delicious dish. In the past, I have also enjoyed their dangerously good gluten-free pizza. But the highlight was the GF caramel brownie, served with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. I attempted to practice self-control and only eat half, but the treat was too irresistible to resist. Before I knew it, I had devoured the entire bowl. So, a piece of advice: if you plan to indulge in their desserts, do so with caution. One bite or half of a serving will surely not be enough once you start. In addition to their delectable menu, BB's boasts a full bar and a skilled bartender who concocts drinks that are simply exceptional. The overall experience at BB's is perfect for a girls' night out, a romantic date night, or even a small party celebration. Just be mindful of indulging too much, as stopping yourself from eating the entire dessert might prove to be a challenge. I highly recommend BB's as a dining destination. The consistently great food, excellent service, and overall ambiance make it an ideal choice for any occasion. But I must warn you, proceed with caution – the temptations at BB's can be quite irresistible!

I love all the vegan gluten free and grain free options

I came to eat with my granddaughter. I asked about Gluten Free options and the cashier said, “Well, we have a gluten free bun.” I told her it was an “allergy” because that’s how the food industry understands Celiac. I asked about a dedicated fryer for fries and she said, “Well put fries and onion rings in it, so is that bad?” So… if your Celiac or sensitive Gluten Intolerant, please know there is a risk and the staff is unhelpful. I also ordered a Kids Junior Cheesburger, and out came a grilled cheese. I looked at the receipt and she rang it up wrong, so I’m not saying anything since my granddaughter seems to be ok and isn’t complaining. Overall, very disappointing and I won’t be back.

We came here after a 5k for a group brunch. I have Celiac Disease, and always struggle to find decent options at restaurants. The menu had so many gluten free options! And even when I didn't realize an option existed for a certain dish, the server made sure I knew I could sub GF toast, or other options. The food was great, the cold brew coffee was delicious, and I can't wait to come back.

New in town and pleased to find this restaurant that has Gluten free options. I'll be back to try them all. Server Chloe was awesome.

Always good! They also have gluten free bread and it's not the wimpy small kind either. I went from getting a salad and being like eh, to getting a Turkey pesto grilled cheese and it made my day! Thank you for ordering the good bread.

We are having the best night out celebrating my future sister in law as a bride to be!!!! THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE! And they are so nice! Our waitress, Cynthia, has been so helpful and kind, she really elevated our experience! We will return!!

Wonderful little place. I ordered the lamb burger with gluten free bun. The cashier checked with the cook to make sure the bun was available, he said it wasn't and offered gluten-free bread. I agreed. The owner was sitting in a meeting just behind us and said, 'let me go look I think I saw some.' Sure enough! He took the time to find them even though I had agreed to the other!!! The cashier was very sweet and explained the Hebrew language on a juice can. I am very glad I looked up this vegan friendly restaurant!!!

Chill place and vibe with delicious GLUTEN FREE KAISER ROLLS!!! I was so excited to see GF bread as an option and also 3 options of cider. They also have an impossible burger if you'd prefer that over beef. Absolutely delicious

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Fizzies and Fare, nestled within the enchanting Sweet Pete's candy store. The addition of a gluten-free bun option showcased their commitment to inclusivity, and the overall experience, surrounded by sweets, was simply delightful. A perfect blend of savory and sweet in a charming setting!

They have everything I loved about the Riverside location and more! I stick with a gluten free diet and I've always been able to find a variety of options. Sometimes that means just protein + leafy greens and ditching the rolls. My 4 year old LOVED getting to assemble their own sandwich from the board. While we waited for the food we wandered around the market & florist which was filled with amazing goodies. We ended up getting a funky fall centerpiece of dried stems, it will last for seasons to come if I store it carefully. Ciera was at the register and was a great help while ordering and made the whole experience very pleasant & fun.

The food was delicious! I had the vegetarian plate with yellow rice and tostones. Their yuca fries were really good too. My friend had the garlic shrimp and he loved it. They play a nice mix of Spanish music. The DJ is really good and he sings as well. Great, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is in both Spanish and English. Plenty of both vegan and vegetarian options and gluten free as well. I have a pretty bad intolerance and I did not get sick with the items I ordered. The fresh guava juice was also delicious. It's definitely the best Puerto Rican food in all of NE FL and I've tried them all, all the way down to Palm Coast. It's as good as the Puerto Rican food we have in NYC in the little bodegas, cooked by someone's abuelita.
