Top 49 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Decatur

Mary Young

Interesting menu, great atmosphere and decent service. Has both gluten free and vegan options plus plenty for the carnivores. Highly recommend. We’ll be making a return visit.

One of our favorite local spots in Atlanta! They make delicious food, that also happens to be primarily gluten-free! We’ve enjoyed their GF fried chicken, frito misto, burgers, amazing Brussels sprouts, and of course, the cookie skillet (also GF). Epic cocktails as well and an excellent selection of bourbons. We’ve even gone on night for cocktails, Brussels sprouts and a cookie skillet. Also, don’t miss their new speakeasy The Subway! (Built into an old subway store that used to be next door). During store hours you can go through a book case inside, but later on, you have to go to the back door (there’s a red light - kinda creepy - but super fun place!

Rebecca Fischer

So many gluten free options! The catfish was sooo good. I'll definitely be back soon.

I would give this place 10 stars 🌟 The food The service both were the best we've had in a long time !!!! We will be regular customers when in this area. I have a gluten allergy, and I usually don't get buns because I haven't found one I liked until eating here !!!! It was the BEST GF bun .....way to go Farm Burger staff 😋 ❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Pamela Sosna

No greeting as we entered and one was flat rude. Staff, including management had no idea about ingredients (i.e. gluten containing), cleanliness was subpar. No name taken for order so a random name was called and we were expected to know it was us. Order did not come out together and one was burnt. Will not be back!

Kate Ravin

Patio really needs shades to be comfortable in the evening sun. Gluten-free crust very close to cardboard. So sorry to post a negative review. 😞

Great service by great folks. I had the gluten free pizza, which I largely thought was great. I think the size was a small for the price though. Next time, I’ll keep the toppings simpler to keep from overloading the pizza, which was my fault and my recommendation to those considering it.

I discovered grindhouse when I first moved to Decatur as they were one of few burger joints to seem knowledgeable about gluten free (celiac here). The burger was AMAZING! I really enjoy how the gluten free bun doesn't feel/taste like other gluten free buns (if you know, you know). Their crinkle cut fries are also great and remind me of the fries from when I was a kid. I have taken numerous friends here and they all love it! I come back often, so I would definitely recommend.

I have to start by saying I have never received customer service the way I did at Wahoo. First, from the valet in the parking lot to the hostess to our server, everyone was welcoming and inviting. We began our meal with pimento cheese fritters, crab bisque and the peach burrata salad. The bisque and salad were exceptional. The bisque had just the right spice and was thick and creamy but the crab in it was sweet and delectable. The salad was a delightful balance of sweet and savory and creamy and crunchy. We loved it so much. For our entrees, my partner got the scallops and I got the crabcakes with the mushroom risotto. My partner could not stop raving about the scallops and the corn chow chow. I, on the other hand was incredibly disappointed because the mushroom risotto did not at all seem like a traditional risotto, it was not creamy and was not distinguishable from regular rice. I let me server know when she asked how things were but insisted it was fine. I was completely taken aback when the manager, Brandon, brought a remade risotto that was super creamy and so doggone good that I didn’t even get a picture. He explained that the regular mushroom risotto is dairy free (which explained why there was no cheese). They try to be accommodating with menu items for people with celiac and other food allergies but my server accidentally forgot to let me know. I was happy to get the replacement and it was absolutely delicious. I look forward to coming here again, the valet said taco Tuesday is a must try. Excellent food and service.

Creed Robbins

Went for my girlfriend's birthday. Food was fantastic. Drinks were excellent. Our server, Jules, was super knowledgeable and great. A lovely experience. Also, my girlfriend has Celiac, and they accommodated for it perfectly, even having a separate gluten free menu. The shrimp dish and pork loin dish were the two big standouts for us!

Anna Krak

Run don’t walk to the Chai Pani lunch buffet! $15 + tip will get ya the most epic Indian food in Atlanta. It includes hot chai (yum!) for a drink and lots of vegetarian, some meat, and gluten free options on the line. They also have an option to get the buffet to go which I think is a few dollars less and you can stuff that box full of delicacies. We are obsessed with the fast casual concept from this group in Ponce City Market but NOTHING comes close to the bang for your buck that you get from this epic lunch buffet… just wish they had the SPDP 🤤 Truly the only negative part of this experience is the hellish parking lot which is abnormally tiny and awkward- so make sure to carpool or park on the side street.

Dillon Kelly

A local gem with wonderful food at a reasonable price! We’ve visited at least once or twice a month for the last year and it never disappoints. They have extensive gluten free options and a salsa bar. We also love their outdoor patio and margaritas/cocktails. Love this place!

Avantia Sellers

This place is AMAZING! Our server Kris was sweet and knowledgeable! Our food was amazing ! The burgers were cooked to perfection and the truffle fries were to die for !!! The atmosphere is chill and intimate with a pub feel . Definitely a place to make your neighborhood fave ! Oh and they also have gluten free and vegan options as well!

Andy Jones

Fantastic food and super friendly staff. While we caught this place at a slower time of the day so it was quieter, everything on the menu looked great so we tried quite a few of their options including the creamed kale with fronions, vidalia onions with roe, black bass crudo, and the dry aged strip with harissa and turnip puree was fantastic! Still trying to figure out how they pulled off the toasted sunchoke shavings on the spring pea focaccia! I can eat anything but one of us had a gluten restriction and the staff was very knowledgeable of both their gluten free and vegetarian options and they even offered suggestions on how to modify a dish to meet our needs Although it was very busy on the square at the time we were there, I got lucky and got a parking spot just outside the front door and my friend was able to park just across the street in the public deck. Will absolutely be back!

Tracey Steiner

Great food and pizza as it was the first stop on our pub crawl. They were able to serve our whole group in a timely manner. The food was savory and fresh. I had a gluten-free pizza. It was crispy and satisfying. We got our food quick.

Kim Johannes

Been coming to Emory for 4 years today was first time eating here and it won't be the last. Food & Service was AMAZING I have a gluten allergy and the waitress was very knowledgeable which alot of restaurants are not. My husband had the Fish & Chips said it was the best he has had. I had wedge salad & loaded bake Patatoe. Highly recommend this restaurant !!!!

Shannon E

First time at this location, as it was nearby to my doctors visit. I was glad to see they offer gluten free bread! I’ve gone to Jason’s for years, but not since I’ve become GF. I used to always get the muffuletta. Today I ordered the turkey chub on GF bread without the cheese, side fruit. I also had the plain Jane potato, without sour cream or cheese. Food was excellent. Service good. The fire alarm did go off for awhile while we were there, but it was some issue with the ebtte shopping center. My mentor got the kids chicken tenders and the southwest chilli, both of which she enjoyed. The ice cream machine was working, but I can’t partake as I can’t eat dairy. Very spacious and well designed location.

Randi Balog

The pizza is great and I love that they have more space to dine in. My husband has been searching for a good gluten free pizza and he found it here!! Definitely our new pizza place

George Amaro

We came up for a concert and found La Chiquita. My wife is gluten intolerant and the menu has so many items that are gluten free. The guac and corn salsa are delicious. The tacos and quesadillas are fantastic. The atmosphere was warm and very inviting. The owner is so friendly and personable. The staff is also amazing. It feels like you are dining with friends. Definitely recommend this restraint!!!

Deja’ Kierra

My husband and I visited Curry Up Now and we fell in love. We really liked the ambience of the space and the outdoor seating. My husband ordered the Tikka Masala Bowl (Our iconic tikka masala with rice, homestyle daal lentils, pickles and pico with choice of protein-Gluten-Free)and I got the Hella Vegan Bowl (Handmade samosa, chutneys with rice, chana garbanzo masala, pickles and pico). The food was a 10/10 and the portions was big. I will definitely be visiting soon.

Donut Holer

Nice place but slow server. We ordered Gluten-free Alfredo & the Penne Greco. The Alfredo was good but as with most GF pasta a little chewy. Overall good flavor. The Penne Greco was good. All the ingredients meshed well and provided a tasty enjoyment. House Chardonnay was good too. Only downside on the food was the plain Olive Oil served with bread when you sat down. I like a little garlic or spice in my oil. The server was not the quickest but she good at her job. Overall a nice place to sit and enjoy a good meal with a bottle of wine. Will be back.

Angel Shannon

Eclectic atmosphere with unique soup choices. Definitely appreciated that there were gluten-free (GF) choices amongst the soups, sandwiches, and salad options; however, it would have been optimal to have a GF cookie option too as part of their meal combo. I was able to sub the cookie for fruit, however, the only fruit option was bananas, to which I'm sadly allergic. Also purchased the GF & vegan Tiramisu, which was oddly dry, not moist. Overall, I appreciate the effort that Souper Jenny's exerts in inclusion of those of us with dietary restrictions. Thx so much!

Alli Anderson

I am constantly impressed with everything at this restaurant! The Atlanta Beets Salad is one of my favorite restaurant dishes in the whole city. The Easter Brunch is one of our favorite family traditions! They do well with food restrictions. I cannot eat gluten. I trusted their menu and their servers and chefs! I wish they had offered us dessert today but other than that minor point, it was flawless as usual! The mocktail was perfect as well!

Kels D

This is a cute little, cozy coffee shop with friendly staff and the coffee is amazing. I also really appreciate the fact that they have a nice assortment of gluten free sweets and not just the standard granola bars. The gluten free banana bread and cheesecake brownies are really good. Still haven't tried the others.

Robert Drake

Fresh to order is a delicious, healthy short order restaurant. They specialize in soups salads and mains that give you healthy options. The cream of mushroom soup is amazing. The service was kind and prompt and they did a great job of Covid sanitizing after each guest. They have a great beverage selection of both regular and alcoholic drinks. Vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, and wheelchair patrons will all do well here.

Zuzia Krawczyk

Overall good experience at First Watch Decatur. The hostess, servers and cashier are great. Where I take off a star is the wait for beverages. We ordered a cold brew and two hot coffees, and they came out about 45 minutes after we ordered, came after the food arrived. Another thing to bring up, I am gluten intolerant and ordered gluten free toast. I am used to what GF bread looks like so when it arrived I immediately noticed it was regular bread. The server changed it for me but if someone with a gluten allergy ordered it and received the wrong thing they could have been very very sick. So please I ask that you watch this closely. Super tasty food and nice staff but these two items are important for a good restaurant experience for me.

Patti Quintano

First time. We ordered bowls. Ingredients were fresh, flavors good. Cleaned my plate. Will def eat here again if in the area. Would appreciate more dietary info. They list vegetarian; gluten info would be helpful also. When questioned, staff was unsure if ingredients were organic.

Robert Drake

Parker's is a tasty Steakhouse in a great location. Both the steak and non steak dishes are well prepared. The space is wheelchair accessible, and vegetarians and gluten-free folks will be okay.

jeanettesdaughter

Birthday party with friends. Nice. Except the carrot salad isn’t available at the Ponce location. The fusion menu is good. Something for everyone vegan, pescatarian, omnivore, gluten free, etc

Chelsea Proffitt

I cannot tell you how much I love this place--to the point that my family is getting annoyed because I always want to go here. There is something for everyone--Vegetarian? Try the smoked beet cuban or lentil sloppy joe(even if you aren't...they're fantastic. I get the cuban sometimes and I am a total carnivore). I LOVE their spicy mustard BBQ sauce and hommade hot bbq. The vinegar slaw is amazing as is the potato salad, fries, and Mac n Cheese (I usually HATE mac n cheese at BBQ palces). I've ordered the brisket and pork as well. I ordered the brisket lean and my MIL ordered it fatty--both came very fatty. I chock that up to how busy they were but probably won't order that again because it was too much fat for my liking. Only two negatives I have: Please get a waffle maker--it's just mean to have that on the menu but not be able to order it. Also, please please please stock up on gluten free buns for people who have gluten intolerance due to autoimmune issues.

Adaeze Olayinka

One of the best sushi spots in Atlanta. Quality fish and rolls, great friendly service with a smile. Quick service since it’s such a small spot. And they have gluten free options! Yay!

Rachel Steinberg

Attentive server, lots of gluten-free options and willing to adjust.

Laura Lang

Great food, it was nice to get a gluten free breakfast that was delicious.

Alan Buss

No. 246 is wonderful! We are visiting family in the Atlanta area, and they knew about 246. We were happy to try it, and very pleased with the restaurant. They have a changing menu which has some excellent varieties of Italian fare. I tried the black pasta with shrimp, which was amazing (well done combination of flavors and ingredients). My wife had the gluten-free pasta, which she said you could not tell it was gluten-free, so she was very happy. The drinks and wine were also superb - there are some very fun cocktail combinations that we tried, and we all liked the wine selections. The ambiance is very nice too - we were seated outside on their patio, which was lovely (it reminded me of the Atlanta Botanical Garden). Finally, the waitstaff is excellent as well - very responsive, courteous, and helpful. Overall, I would highly recommend dining here!

Melissa Wiggins

I wish they had gluten free pizza. I'm a first time customer and was very satisfied. Love, love, love the white pizza.

k Kresto

My favorite Irish pub in town! Feels like family there....made some awesome friends with the owner, bartenders, and the regulars. And they have great gluten free beer.

Jason D

Outstanding. The Gyro was huge, and they offer it in white, wheat or gluten-free. The wheat was tasty. It comes with a side. I had the grilled veggies. They were magnificent. There was some kind of special seasoning on them. Kind of a nice smoky flavor. 😋. Friendly and helpful staff. Great meal 👍

Kat M

Extremely friendly service and coffee was excellent! *Bonus* they had a gluten free peanut butter cookie that was probably the best I've tried anywhere 😁

Conrad Lawson

They could use more gluten free options (or just get gluten free bread). But otherwise their food is great! Simple, clean and tasty! The Fritters appetizer was excellent (and gluten free)!

Jt Ryan

Absolutely amazing food. They have some gluten free entrees plus many customizable options. Highly recommend.

Ryan Peach

So cozy and friendly. Gluten free options and great music.

B Gorkin

Just had an unpleasant experience at this restaurant. My wife and I are celiac. The person waiting on us had no knowledge of what this meant and made it clear that she did not want to walk the 20 feet to the kitchen to find out if items were gluten free or not. The restaurant serves only milk, no substitutes. My wife's order as delivered was not as ordered. We won't be back and we recommend if you are gluten intolerant, go elsewhere.

LeAnna Wilson

We live across the street and have been anticipating the arrival of Poke Perfect. They delivered on quality and freshness. We have already been there twice this week! I am celiac and Hunter showed me how to access the "Safe ingredient" list online. The employee's aren't very confident on which items are Gluten Free- so check ahead if you have food allergies. I like my bowls SPICY and was surprised that they did not offer a free cup of water. I was forced to purchase a "box of water" for 2 dollars plus some change- when I only needed a sip to put out the marvelous fire in my mouth. They have a wide selection of veggies and toppings to choose from if you choose to design your bowl (which I have done both times). However, the addition of brown rice as a base would be my Christmas wish. My husband is not a raw fish eater and was satisfied with the Southern Bowl (smoked chicken, sweet potato, white corn, tomato, mandarin oranges and green onion). I snapped a picture of his because I had already torn into mine!

Simone Rosa

Impromptu dinner for 4 and we were immediately seated, service was efficient and friendly, all the food was delicious and they were willing to accommodate my gluten-free sandwich request.

Liz de Goursac

Cozy, pretty space with delicious French cuisine. The baked brie and soups were delicious. There are only a few dishes for vegetarians, but lots for gluten free diners.

C S

This place is my new go-to! Not a single detail was overlooked here. The ambiance is bright, clean, and comfortable. I love the bar area - great for solo diners. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food. The gyro meat was seasoned perfectly, the salad was very fresh, and the tzaziki was delicious and authentic tasting. They even have gluten free pita here! The wine selection is excellent as well - whoever curated that list knows their stuff. The service was warm and friendly, and I love that they're open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Kafenio totally exceeded my expectations and will definitely be a weekly (maybe even daily) staple for me.

Mara Shea

Good food, with options for vegetarian and gluten-free. Great service, and very nice outside seating.

y moore

Great service and great food. They were very accommodating with my gluten sensitivity issues. I will be back!

Alfredo Motta

MORE THAN EXCELLENT!!! We travel a lot. We’ve been to so many BBQ restaurants, in Texas Austin, Lockhart, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas. And in other states or countries. Community BBQ is definitely the best BBQ food of all the BBQ restaurants I’ve ever been. The Brisket is superb. The Ribs are something else. The Coleslaw is simply the best. The pulled pork is soooo good!!! And the BBQ sauce is amazingly delicious. Also, they understand what’s like for people who can’t eat gluten. Almost everything here is gluten free. This is what’s called a small “Hole in the wall” place. Like the best kept secret. I guess it’s run by a family because everyone takes such good care and you can see their passion for what they do. I sincerely recommend this place.
