Top 13 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Oak Brook

Update- I got glutened. Not safe for celiacs. Painfully mid. The food was disappointing for the price point ans there were gnats.

Cate Koziol

Completely gluten free menu.

Must visit if you follow a gluten free diet, must visit even if you don't! My husband and I came here for brunch on our way out of town because of their plethora of gluten free options. I was pleasantly surprised they were serving brunch so I could get the gluten free fried chicken sandwich. It was the most heavenly gluten free food I've had anywhere, ever. The chicken was perfectly crispy, the gf bun was AMAZING. Truly didn't feel like it was gluten free, held together really well and wasn't a super dense puck of bread like other buns. My husband also got the fried chicken sandwich, with gluten, and loved it as well. I also got the gf avocado toast to go and loved it even a few hours later when I finally got hungry enough to eat it. We also got the red mimosa (perfect) bloody mary (amazing) and a drip coffee. Everything was truly outstanding and we will most definitely be coming back when in Chicago again. 10/5 stars.

We have been here a few times and had a nice time. My only complaint was that last time they provided me a Gluten Free roll In a plastic bag, but it was moldy. I do appreciate that they had an option for me, however. They have a great selection of foods and drinks and the atmosphere is upbeat and cozy.

Everyone loved their pick!!! Such great service. I can’t stop thinking about their banana blackberry gluten free pancakes!

Nancy

My server Jacky was very lovely and was very informative of what I could have due to my gluten allergy. Can’t wait to be back!

Let me start of by saying it was Wednesday morning but they were still REALLY busy. Their Latte was really big and good, breakfast is decent but be careful to not order the scrambled egg, they DON’T Know how to do scramble eggs at all Ordered the country farmers skillet which lacked content, barely saw any sausages in there but good amount of ham, but the gluten free pancakes were great! Their sweet potato pancakes Benedict was good. Service was good despite how busy they were.

What a great experience! The menu has gluten free options and a few vegan options. The dessert menu is delicious and very unique. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Our waiter, Adonis, was a great person to work with. I made a mistake in my order and Adonis quickly found a better suggestion for me. Parking is free in the mall. The lot is busy on a few nights of the week.

Faith Pruett

Landed in Chicago and needed a quick bite before our hotel. Our waiter Erica was friendly, informative and made gluten-free no stress to eat off the menu!! Thank you Erica!

Went to Roka Akor last night with my wife and told the waiter about my gluten allergy and was reassured I was safe to eat there. I read on their FAQ page they have a gluten free menu but when I called ahead to confirm they said they do not which itself is extremely misleading. I ordered two sushi rolls that the waiter once again reassured us would be safe but I did not even get to finish my rolls before getting violently sick. While I understand that no kitchen is sage, for the waiter and kitchen staff to act like they care about food allergies then blatantly ignore them was disappointing to see. I do not recommend anyone with any type of food allergy to go to Roka Akor after witnessing last night's events. Furthermore, the price and portion sizes are not reasonable at all and the other non gluten free food was very mediocre given the price point. There are far better options in the area, I would avoid this restaurant.

Andrea Steffan

Delicious. I am gluten free and a vegetarian so I wasn’t sure I would have a lot of options but to my delight the entire market bar is gluten free. I also had the cauliflower steak and it was fabulous.

Amy Rieselman

Good gluten free options. Enjoyed my mule mocktail. Not a fan of the sports screens but otherwise nice atmosphere.

Samantha Lambros

Great quick lunch stop while out shopping! I was glad to see the option for both a gluten free bun (extra charge) as well as a lettuce wrap (no charge)

My favorite thing about roti is how clean the food tastes. I get the chicken bowl with saffron rice. And it never disappoints. The gluten free pitas are surprisingly good. The place is always clean when we come in. Parking is free and plentiful. My kids love the fruit punch drink and falafel. We come here about 1-2 times per month.

Jack Bohen

I love this place , i actually only come here because of the manager Tom . He accommodates perfectly for my girlfriend and I . You can come here and make sure you won’t be getting dairy and gluten contamination . It’s actually the only reason we come so often . Thank you Tom !!!!

I liked the free Saucy Stocking Stuffer Hot Sauce Friendly staff and nice atmosphere Food was good. I ordered vegetarian burger with fries and vegetarian bowl . I liked the burger very much . The burger petty was fresh and crispy. The sauce used was too good, They provided some sauces , I liked them . I also grabbed bundle up offer in $4 . Pineapple juice was good . No wait .Very quick service. I liked the creamy sauce too much . And bought one bottle too. Good to know that peri peri sauce is gluten free and without any preservatives and flavours . Prices are worth Highly recommend and will visit again soon with family and friends

Everything was delicious, from the appetizers to the meals, cocktails, and dessert. Luis was a fantastic waiter and was very accommodating to our gluten allergy. He was extremely charismatic and friendly. He made great recommendations and ensured everything was safe to eat. Great service from the staff. 10/10!

Shanon Tully

The food was amazing! My son had a Ramen noodle bowl, and he said it was the best he had ever had. The gluten-free quinoa salad was excellent as well. Service was friendly and efficient. I love seeing the furniture that Crate & Barrel sells actually being used in their restaurant.

Amanda Espinoza

I sat at the bar. Amanda and Liz did an amazing job! Very attentive and kind. Good was amazing. I had a gluten free bun with a bacon cheeseburger

Nick Benhart

Gluten free options abound (separate toaster with gluten free bread!) and always good.

Gabriel Conners

Sweetgreen always comes through. I use the app, work nearby, place orders for pickup. I love blackened chicken with anything. I like to throw the pickled onions into whatever I get. I love the allergen guides which helps me to stay gluten free, nut free, soy free... and opt in to dairy when I fancy. Staff here always delivers reliable service. Thank you!

John Doerrer

I liked this place, never been there. It has been a staple for that area for a very long time. Food was very fresh and delicious. Pizza looked great. They have gluten free pizza. Will be back

Dalia Lopez

We went to oak brook mall last week and they have this new food court next to the movie theater. We tried pie five and the kids loved it. They were able to put whatever they wanted on it for the same price. I was able to get a gluten free crust with vegan cheese which is really hard to find!! We will be back

This Smashburger was brand-spanking new. I think they've only been open for about a week and are getting it together. I was very impressed that they have both gluten- and dairy-free options (for unfortunate folks who can't tolerate either). I had their double-bacon Smashburger on a gluten-free bun with no cheese. I also had a vegan chocolate milkshake. Let's start with the burger - it was a huge burger (two burgers). They serve it with the typical condiments, and different than other chains, the burger comes on a gluten-free bun. I'm used to them serving buns in separate sealed plastic bags. (Note to those with Celiac disease - this probably wouldn't work for you since it was exposed to other items with gluten.) It was excellent. I also had their regular Tater Tots. The Smash Tots didn't appeal to me since they drenched them in oil and spices. While I am sure they are delicious, I like my fries and tots crisp, so I chose not to try their fancy version. The Vegan Chocolate Milkshake was good. It's been so long since I could have milk I don't remember exactly what a real milkshake tastes like. You might find it different than a milkshake and may or may not like it. I found it very good. My only issue was they had plenty of open tables, and many had yet to be wiped down. I had to ask someone to wipe down a table so we could sit. Before he came back, we found one clean table. When the server saw us sit, he asked if we still needed a table wiped down. When we answered "no," he said good and walked off without cleaning them. That means another person is going to ask them for the same thing. I wonder why he didn't clean them for the next person. That being said, it was a great experience and good food. We'll go back to Smashburger. And I look forward to our next experience.
