Top 23 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in St. Charles

Laura Comenduley

I haven't been able to have gluten due to diverticulitis and other health issues, I can't have soy since 2015. It is very hard to find places that can accommodate. I found this place on tictok and had to go immediately. Let me tell you this is the best donut "the OG" I have ever had. I was almost in tears on the car ride home. I found my place and I found the nicest people there. I can't wait to go back and actually eat breakfast and sit down when I have the time.

I get gluten fee beef or gluten free combos and they're always able to hit the spot... I really like their beef!!!

Came here for my birthday, was an awesome experience. Wonderful atmosphere as well. I have a gluten allergy, and the waiter was very accommodating and helpful. They have awesome gluten free bread, and the gnocchi I got was wonderful. I really appreciate the staff that took the time to make sure I was able to enjoy my dinner! I will definitely be going back for more celebrations/date nights.

Food was awesome and was celiac safe. The manager spoke to us personally on what we could expect and assuaged our fears. Will come back again 🫶

Great food. Huge portions. Service was slow/distracted despite very few patrons. Overall would likely return. Good gluten free pancakes!

Gia Mia was great. Attended a wedding reception yesterday. Gluten selections were delicious. The servers were AWESOME!!!

I'm Gluten free, so when I saw they had a GF menu I was very excited! What I received when I ordered left a lot to be desired. The staff was very accommodating and replaced my meal with a sushi salmon roll wich was good.

Our favorite pizza place!! Billy bricks is so good, and they are one of the only allergen-friendly pizza places in the area. They have dairy-free cheese and gluten-free crusts. We love the bbq chicken pizza with dairy free cheese, but you really can’t go wrong with any of their speciality pizzas. Pizzas are always hot and ready right on time for pickup.

Some of the best food I have ever had. I have to eat gluten free, which means food typically is terrible. Syrup has the BEST gluten free pancakes I have had. I nearly gave up trying many places around the area. Syrup is a wee bit of a hike for me, however, it is the highlight of my month as I reward myself once a month to this amazing place. My whole family loves it, the price isn't too bad considering the HUGE portions of delicious pancakes. My wife says the skillets are just perfect too, and my toddler also loves the pancakes.

Loved this place. Food was amazing. Service friendly. Naan was the best ever. I can't have gluten but this was worth it!! Will be back when I'm in the area. Just wish it was closer.

Inexpensive and you can get as many toppings as you want! Gluten free and vegan options!

Place is outstanding. Straight up 🔥 The menu is outstanding. And the hot sake, yes please, get that..every time. Very beautiful restaurant and bar. Very well done and our service was so good. Had an excellent time here. Had some drinks, had some plates to share. Had some more drinks. It was just an easy place to hang out and try interesting, beautifully made food. Gluten-free friendly too. A huge + for me To be fair: The veggie fried rice was meh The fuki roll was pretty good And I've had better martinis But for me Moto imōto hot hit on the "how" not the "what.". It's probably never going to be nominated for a James Bears Award but I still loved how it made me feel. And for that, I will go back every time. It's a pretty place to eat and we had a good time here. For that, 10/10 recommend

The workers were friendly and worked efficiently. They were also gluten-friendly and conscious of my allergies

Top tier experience. It's more than just pictures, it's the real deal. It's better in real life. Walked in on a Tuesday, early hour with my date and we both have nothing but good things to say. The first impression was booming. It's a beautiful space. So beautifully decorated and thoughtfully put together. Kaylie our server and the bartender was great. Service was prompt and professional. Everyone had a smile and friendly attitude. The food was 🎉 Lots of gluten-free options, which for me a huge plus. They have a whole gluten-free menu, that's nice to take out the guess work. Protip: Get the Seven Spicy Tuna of toasted rice or whatever it's technically called. (I'm close enough) lol. So good 🤤🤤🤤 Great experience. 10/10 recommend

I was actually on my way to another coffee shop when I drove past this and remembered I wanted to stop in and check it out. The girls were super friendly as soon as I walked in the door. I asked what was popular and she was very helpful. I’m also gluten-free so I love that they had so many options! I also thought the inside was very well put together and I was super shocked how big this place is and can’t wait to come back and enjoy some coffee by the water. I will definitely be back, I absolutely love the coffee and my rice crispy treat 😋

Sunday June 18, 2023 Father’s Day My son made a 6 pm reservation for my wife, i and him to celebrate Father’s Day. It was the first time at La Za Za for us. We checked in at 5:50 and were immediately seated at an outdoor table. Lisa our server was at our table within 1 minute of being seated to take our drink orders. Since we were having wine with dinner, we all had sparkling water. We were going to have a gluten free pizza as an appetizer, but Lisa promptly returned and told us that us that was not available. She made a couple of recommendations and we selected the Melanzine Griglia, egg plant stuffed with ricotta, mozzarella & parmigiana cheeses and topped with a tomato basil sauce and mozzarella cheese. I can no longer say I don’t like egg plant, it was fantastic! There was also a bread basket with a bowl of salsa for dipping. We all ordered a glass of Justin Cabernet wine that Lisa recommended and it was quite nice. For entrees my wife ordered the 8 oz Filet with roasted potatoes and fresh mixed vegetables. Lisa expertly described the options for how well done the Filet could be cooked. My wife choose medium well and it was cooked exactly as she wanted. My son ordered the 16 oz Ribeye special, also with roasted potatoes and fresh mixed vegetables. I ordered the Vitello Sassi, pan roasted veal with sautéed mushrooms, artichoke hearts & garlic in a light brandy sauce with a side of linguini. All of these ingredients blended together perfectly. I am a big fan of artichoke hearts and in this case they were the best I had ever had. I would give them 6 or 7 stars if that was an option. For dessert my wife was stuffed and passed. My son & I both had the tiramisu and it was great. I want to highlight our server, Lisa. She had a great personality and talked to us for several minutes about non-food topics. She knew the menu very well and made great recommendations. She checked on us frequently so we were never waiting or wanting for anything. Finally, La Za Za is expensive, at least to my family. Plan on spending a Benjamin ($100) per person if you get a cocktail, appetizer, wine, entree, dessert and coffee. So La Za Za will be reserved for 2 or 3 special occasions per year. I’ll definitely look forward to them. In conclusion, I highly recommend La Za Za for a fabulous dining experience and without reservation give it 👍👍👍👍👍

I love it here! And their gluten (sensitive/free) pizza is amazing. I always have to double check it is because it seems like the regular dough! Also my husband is from Italy and he gives it his stamp of approval.

Sara Snelling

A little bit of the city in the burbs. Great service great menu options for vegetarians and gluten free folks, and just good vibes.

Hadn't been here for quite a while until I had lunch there the other day. Just as good as I remember! The guy who served was helpful and polite without being stiff or annoying. Very comfortable, pleasant, and straightforward. The pizzas are really good. Good dough, great sauce, flavorful cheese, and fresh ingredient. All around good value. I have not tried the Cauliflower Gluten-free Crust, nor the regular Gluten-free crust, but I have heard that they are very good.

We took my sister there for dinner in mid November 2024 and had a wonderful time. Every aspect of our visit was wonderful and they even had a good variety of gluten-free foods I could eat (I have celiacs and can’t eat wheat). I will be going back again.

Abby is your only employee who knows what she is doing. You have a great deli but you should be more careful about your hires. You keep gluten free bread in the deli.

Alter Brewing + Kitchen is a great lunch and dinner spot in St. Charles downtown, right off the river. Good food and excellent beers with great atmosphere all year around. This establishment is pristine, priced right, has friendly service and had plenty of vegan/gluten free options . All in all, a pleasant culinary experience you won’t want to miss. Kudos to executive chef Eric Klekamp. Check out the pictures associated with this review and follow on Insta @ifooditie
