Top 41 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Honolulu

After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

Great gluten free burgers and buns. I use to love to go here for the dedicated gluten free fryer. However, on my last visit, that changed. The fries are now made in a shared fryer. But the burgers, wings and salads are amazing!

After my spiel, they reassured me both over the phone and in person that they were able to serve Celiacs with confidence. It took me literally two bites and a speed run to the washroom to realize that was completely untrue. I left the meal 98% untouched, and informed the server that the food had made me ill and that we needed to pay ASAP so I could go back to my private hotel bathroom. Paid for everything and left in tears - the staff didn’t even apologise or offer to comp my meal. Was a great last night for our vacation. Slay Noi Thai

The other Paia fish market on the island is far superior in taste, quality, and service. This paia however was really bad. We found hair in our food, our order was incorrect THREE TIMES. They did not take our food allergy concerns seriously when we returned the food back. The lady taking orders obviously hates her job. Service was very slow. Management needs to step up at this location & take things seriously. But we still love fish Paia, just not this location. Rice was not cooked properly or flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly though. We hope this review is seen and taken seriously as we are repeat customers and love to support local businesses that offer gluten free and dairy free options.

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

Love this place. Plenty of good gluten free options that are clearly labeled on the menu. The macadamia crusted mahi is amazing and so is the chowder. On my last visit, they had a promotion where they would match up to $50 off your meal if you donated to the Hawaii food bank.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at P.F. Chang’s Honolulu thanks to our amazing waitress, Carlie. My son has celiac disease and has to eat strictly gluten free, which can often make dining out stressful and difficult. Carlie went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. She was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, especially for kids. Her kindness, patience, and attentiveness truly made our meal enjoyable and stress-free.

I was looking for a gluten-free poke and I got it. Super tasty. Lineups in February were long, but it is unbelievable how quickly you get your order once you order it.

Amanda Fowler

So good. So fresh. We’ve been in Hawai’i for two days and have eaten here twice. Very gluten free friendly and so amazing. It’s basically build your own sushi bowl.

M R

We ate here on two different nights. Tristan and Zac were our servers and helped us navigate gluten-free options. They were both excellent and did a great job.

Dillon Etter

Delicious, friendly staff, fast service. Will definitely be back. The gluten free noodles are the best I’ve ever had.

Dianna Campbell

All gluten free and dairy free options.

Laura Foster

They had very good food with gluten free pasta and pizza. Reasonable prices. I would go back

Jess Gunn

Absolutely loved our meal here! I have celiac disease and our server Nico was extremely knowledgeable about options that would be safe for me. I got the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and it was devine! I would highly recommend dining here, especially if you are celiac or gluten intolerant!

One of my top choices of coffee shops in Hawaii for hot Kona coffee. There was already a long line at 8am, however the staff worked efficiently to keep the line moving. Order ahead option is available with online menus. It would be helpful to have separate beverage only and food lines as well. This Waikiki location has gluten free and plant based menus. Highly recommend!

I chose to dine here on April 6 based on reviews about allergy accommodation, but unfortunately left very disappointed. The restaurant was unusually busy (as the owner mentioned), with what seemed to be just the owner cooking and one staff member at the front. Upon ordering, I clearly communicated that I was Celiac and also had peanut and tree-nut allergies. My partner and I were sharing our meals, so the allergy note was requested for both bowls. The lady suggested we order a drink while we wait for our food, which my partner did. After a 45-minute wait, our meals arrived but with substitutions (sides doubled up as they ran out of what we ordered) that were not communicated. I found sliced almonds in one of my sides, despite my allergy. After 10 mins of waiting for someone to be available, I asked the owner to clarify if there was nuts in any of the sides, he admitted there were almonds and possibly walnuts in the soba or brussel sprouts and explained there was no allergy note on the order. While he was very nice and apologetic, no solution was offered, and I was left with nothing safe to eat. We also did not receive the drink until after our food was served, what was the point of ordering the drink then? To make matters worse, the front-of-house staff was visibly overwhelmed and unwelcoming. There was no effort made to notify customers about substitutions, reservation/order cancellations, or delays—something I witnessed multiple guests frustrated over. For a restaurant that promotes itself as allergy/diet preference-aware, this experience was unacceptable. We left our $47 meals untouched and went elsewhere.

July 2023 I made a reservation for 6pm on my honeymoon. ◯Meat For my main dish, I chose Porterhouse steak. During my stay, I went to another famous steak restaurant, and the meat at Ruth's was not only delicious, but the seasoning was relatively well-seasoned, and I could feel the restaurant's commitment to it. ◯Service The inside of the store has a calm atmosphere and a special feeling. We prepared a plate to celebrate our honeymoon. A separate gluten-free menu was available. It is also recommended for people with wheat allergies.

You can choose as you like. You can also order your favorite burger. This time I made a gluten-free teriyaki burger 🍔🍟🥤 You can also choose how well the patty is cooked. If you don't like red, try medium rare. Because it's quite rare Well done might be fine! The shake is not sweet either And above all, the staff Extremely kind We shared one burger. They cut it neatly and divided it into pieces. Are you okay forever? Are you okay? delicious? Can you go? He asked me 😊 Potato 🍟 is also super delicious 🍟

Christina Hollingsworth

It's so hard to find a great pizza place that also offers a gluten free crust alternative that also tastes amazing! It's incredibly tasty and has the perfect crunch. Even my non gluten free family members loved the cauliflower crust. Also- the Kale salad is one of the best salads I've ever had. I love salads, but somehow this one took kale (which can be hot or miss) to the next level. The service was amazing - both times we came here. Highly recommend for everyone.

Jay Fallick

Lacking Gluten Free options. Get with the times 604! No GF bread, no corn chips, no corn tortillas, no dedicated fries, and no GF pasta. Celiacs are no longer stuck with reataurants who just want to offer salad or burgers with no bun. It isn't hard to accommodate and isn't expensive. Had GF waffles, muffins, and bread at Four Seasons and then came here - sad.

Sandy Taggart

Prices have dramatically increased, still delicious. Used to come here all the time, unlimited toppings pizzas were $12. Now they are $19 and +2-$6 for various crust options (thick crust, cauliflower and gluten free.) Still delicious.

HikariSuk

Gluten free and dairy free options in hawaii! The garlic fries are A MUST TRY!! We hope more dairy free and gluten free options will be added to the menu! The marlin fish was delicious! Hoping they can modify the sauce to be dairy free in the future as we were told it would have made the dish even more delicious. Great service great atmosphere. The pickled egg was SO GOOD!! Thank you for offering gluten and dairy free options!!

Atiyya Ali

I just love this place! First and foremost the staff is amazing, I came here with my 9 month old and my hands were full, and I believe the employee’s name was Daryl, he went out of his way to help me. I couldn’t have been more grateful…this isn’t off that one experience, I’ve been here nearly everyday for a month. The staff here is very kind, and the atmosphere is great! The coffee never disappoints, and being that I’m gluten free, there aren’t many options, but the ones I do have are amazing. Highly recommend their cappuccinos, and their gluten free almond cake, and their gluten free chocolate caramel dome.

Alyssa Siddiqui

Celebrated our anniversary here and Roy’s was lovely. The food is was amazing, as well as the service. Made reservations, as most places in Honolulu need a reservation to get in and there was a slight wait to our table. The misoyaki butterfish was succulent and delicious. The carpaccio, tataki, and poke was refreshing. They were able to accommodate our dietary needs for gluten free. Keep room for desserts at the end. They also gave us ice cream at the end for our celebration.

Ela S

Went with whole family aged 5-65 and everybody found something tasty. 3 of us is celiac including child and we feel great the day after.

Camelia

Everyone in our party loved their food. The waiter and kitchen were super accommodating with those at our table who needed gluten free options. The area is lively and fun. Definitely recommend!

We have loved coming to Duke’s for years. Our family of 11 made reservations and I was skeptical I would be able to find anything to eat with them because my baby has a ton of food allergies. Thankfully I brought her own food, but was still amazed I could find anything for myself to eat that was dairy free, egg free, gluten free, nut free… Fiodor, I hope I am spelling his name right, is incredible. He was incredibly patient with me and helped me find something to eat. His whole service was amazing! I got the ahi with gluten free shoyu and white rice substituted. It tasted incredible! Instead of ordering something bland with all the sauces removed I got a very tasty meal. I was very thankful for that. The negative is for $49 it was only three small pieces of ahi. While I thoroughly enjoyed it, I was really hungry by the time we got home. For $49 you should really not go away hungry. The other dishes had plenty of food. Duke’s and really all of Waikiki has gotten so expensive though and they seem to have removed more affordable options from the menu. My cousin was bragging about the burgers and brown lager and neither are on the menu anymore. His prime rib was good, but really lean, not much fat. My husband’s huli huli chicken was fine, nothing special, but $30 something. The hula pie is to die for though. I went for a walk on the beach while they enjoyed their pie and get a break from the noise. It is very noisy under the roof area and with the loud music. It is way less noisy if you can sit in the lower outdoor area with no roof. Not sure how to get reservations down there. We have never gotten the privilege to eat in that area. Of course it is a breathtaking setting. We would go again for lunch or if the food at that price were more worth it or if they expanded their menu. The quality is fine, but not worth it at that price point. You are paying to sit on Waikiki and if that is worth it then go for it.

Great gluten free options and great service with affordable prices

Chantelle Porter

I have celiacs disease and they were so accommodating with gluten free food! The chef was amazing, wait staff was so friendly and helpful and the food was DELICIOUS

Brady Lucas

Great atmosphere and options for food. Casual dining experience with live music. Cauliflower crust is a great option for gluten free needs. Got the brewmaster and the Hunter. Both were unique pizzas with great taste.

Alyse Gowgiel

CELIAC REGRETS. Beautiful place, fun atmosphere, SUPER UNINFORMED staff. My gluten intolerant family member with celiac disease ordered a burger with gluten free bun. The apparently mostly teenage staff didn't know enough to warn her that there is flour IN the burger?? What kind of recipe is that?? WHY would you offer GF bun for wheat-containing patty? She felt an allergic-like reaction in her mouth a few bites in, so I went to ask about the ingredients of the burger. The cashier had to check with everyone else in the joint to find the ingredients. Only the cook seemed to know that the burger was not GF...why would you put a gluten-containing patty on a gluten-free bun?? I see that this is definitely not our smartest moment for not checking the ingredients/reviews beforehand or for trusting the non-dedignated gf menu, but this place is also irresponsible for putting allergens into a dish that shouldn't contain gluten to begin with. She will be in horrible pain all week, so much so that we might have to change our flight dates so she's not sick on the plane.

Kelly Smith

Atmosphere was decent & inviting. Service was basic with self ordering. Gluten Free French toast was burnt on the underside. Pretty much ruined the desire to go back.

Michele Minietta

Loved the gluten free cheese bread! Awesome beach snack!

Alexander Dornstauder

pretty high quality fish with very high prices and middling service at best. they have a happy hour some days. gluten free soy sauce and menu available.

Anna Morello

Best gluten free waffles I’ve ever eaten in my entire life!! However, a breakfast for myself, husband and our 3 kids cost us $157!! It didn’t come across as very child friendly, however, the child menu was great (for non celiacs) and the kids got good value on their meals.

C Howard

Authentic Italian cuisine at a good value - a must try for visitors and locals alike. Isami our server was the highlight of our experience. You can’t go wrong with the sea food bruschetta as a starter. We ordered the squid ink pasta and truffle carbonara as our main dishes. The table-side black truffle shaving directly onto the carbonara was a nice touch. Both dishes were well balanced and incredibly flavorful. Try the gluten-free hot chocolate cake for desert. Outside seating is noisy but provides a great opportunity for people-watching.

Cole Sandberg

From someone who NEVER writes reviews... When you pair great taste with a waiter who was on top of his game, It makes for a great meal and what would be our normal go to for dinner out if we were locals! The great service started with Tony being extremely knowledgeable of celiac disease to the point of understanding cross contamination and being able to tell us which foods to avoid because of it! Not something we're used to back home. We ordered the Guava BBQ St Louis style ribs. They substituted the fries for garlic mashed without us even having to ask. The flavor of this sauce if you love a sweet sauce this one has an amazing flavor and has no spice/kick to it. Unfortunately the rack that was brought wasn't the greatest of quality of meat. We didn't ask for or expect anything to be done, we even turned down the replacement that was offered. Before we knew it, either the owner or manager was at the table insisting on making up for the toughness of the ribs. He had another half rack brought out and they were amazing.

michelle reynolds

Best gluten free brownie on the planet. Top it with the sesame seed gelato.

Richard F

This place is the best for gluten free and vegan food. Really delicious and not expensive like other Hawaii restaurants. I could eat there everyday! Best in Honolulu!!

McKenzie Calvert

We loved this place so much we came back twice ! The cocktails are so good ! You can just sit at the bar listening to music having drinks. Then we had a nice birthday dinner. I have a gluten and shellfish allergy and I felt so comfortable eating here. They use tamari as their soy sauce so it was so nice to enjoy the Brussel sprouts , garlic fried rice with sauce. IYKYK. My fiancé had the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese and can’t stop talking about it.

Erica Reevey

The food was AMAZING. I have a gluten allergy and the deconstructed lobster WAS AMAZING. Ful of flavor and just the right amount of spice. Our waiter Christopher Gregory was great and had a great demeanor. We came for my husband's birthday and I will say I do feel like there could be a little celebration touch added to the experience like we've experienced at other restaurants. But, besides that overall great!

McKenna Walker

The show was amazing and the food was delicious. Highly recommend! Also very accommodating for those needing to eat gluten free!

Alena Morgan

Went here for my sisters wedding rehearsal dinner. The team was so accommodating of our allergies (gluten and dairy free) and the food was great. Kimmy our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and even gave me one of her own reusable grocery bags to help me carry our leftover wine bottles back to the hotel!

Anna Quinn

Appreciate the gluten free options

Kate

My new favorite Thai restaurant!! Most delicious of any I’ve been to. Love the atmosphere, with all seating outside. Very accommodating and able to make lots of dishes vegan, if not already (some have fish sauce.) Appreciate the clear labeling on the menu for vegan and gluten free. Big portions! We had to wait for a table for lunch, Fri at 1. So might be a good idea to make reservations.

Virginia Downey

Great brekkie! I had the smoked salmon and bagel. My daughter had the Benedict minus the muffin-- she can't eat gluten:) Crispy hashbrowns were bomb. Service was amazing!

THANK YOU. HELLO.

The acai bowl and gluten free sandwich were very delicious. A restaurant where you can relax and enjoy a wonderful view. The staff girls are cute😘

Jenne Acevedo

Great find during our self driving tour. Large savory and sweet crepes in regular or gluten free (buckwheat flour). Both made on the same griddle though. Enjoy if you are not super sensitive. Coffee, smoothies, and more. Order at the counter, and they bring it to you. Little place, not fancy, quick service.

Doug McElroy

Having a gluten allergy can make dining out difficult, but almost their entire menu can be made this way. Super friendly staff and by far best meal I had on my 2 week vacation. Incredible drinks as well.

Bridget Stoll

A restaurant located on a pier should be able to cook fish. That was not our experience. My husband ordered the double fish burger without the bun as he is celiac. The burgers were dry. I ordered the swordfish which is served with mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots. The fish was dry. The potatoes were good and the vegetables were okay. Service was fine, not special. The saving grace was the entertainment. Nice Hawaiian music and we had a great table next to the outside wall so we had a view of the harbor.
