Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Fort Wayne

Megan Stetler

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Kekionga Craft Company. I have Celiac disease and am sometimes sensitive to fried foods, even if it is GF. We ordered the chicken fingers with fries (loved the Keki sauce), the elote dip with chips (10/10!!) and the blueberry lemonade cider. All were excellent. I would bring my children here and absolutely would come again. They took great care of me and I did not react.

Gluten free offerings, and dairy free cheese makes it the ultimate build your own pizza

Amber Caldwell

Best gluten free pizza I ever had(it was even cooked properly)and I’m told by the others their pizza was amazing as well! Will order again or maybe even diner in!

Sherry Otto

We were in on a Sunday afternoon and grabbed a pizza, salad, and gluten free grinder to go. The staff was great, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was ready in a timely manner. The food was delicious! If we're ever in Fort Wayne again, we will definitely be back!

I’m a big fan of Proximo, especially after working with them to host my wedding reception in their private dining room. They were very accommodating, the food was stellar as always (with great vegetarian and gluten free options to accommodate all guests), and the cocktails and wine were perfect. Thank you Proximo!

Good gluten free pizza.

It was super busy today and we had to wait in a little corridor for a table. Which sounds bad, but it wasnt really. We got a cute table and ate some delicious food 😊 The phyllo goodness was truly good 😉. My friend got the turkey bacon panini with gluten free bread and I got the chicken bacon foldover. Delicious. Definitely hits the spot for an early lunch. We had the blueberry lavender lemonade 🤌🏻 I love a good vibe and this place had it. Lots of plants and the staff are really friendly 😊

Just drive 1 .5 hours and there I are no gluten free products.

My family came here to celebrate the end of the school year. One of the reasons we decided to try it was that my wife has Celiac disease and can only eat at restaurants that do a good job with gluten free items and cross contamination. The person who took our order put an allergy alert on our order, and they got her food first and brought it out separately from the rest of our order. Beyond that, our kids loved everything about their experience here, especially the food. My son had fun trying all the different sauces (and telling us which ones he thought would pair best with various menu items), and they all liked the decor and atmosphere. Good BBQ, good atmosphere, and excellent service means that we will definitely visit again!

Such a great noodle place! You can substitute gluten free for just about everything. There is also tofu for the plant based diets!

Mandy Regier

One of our favorite spots-the coffee is so good and there are so many options for Gluten free / dairy free. Jordan, the manager, was great to work with for a recent collaborative event! They have renovated their shop and are also offering more catering options---highly recommend!

Salon Renew

Honestly, we couldn’t love this place more. By far our favorite restaurant in town. We have ordered out multiple times for lunch and have never been disappointed. We also have dined in and they have been so accommodating to our bigger party. Recently we had a galentine’s evening catered and it was the best experience. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. They took such great care of us and the food was absolutely perfect. Side note: we have a girl with celiac so everything has to be gluten free with no cross contamination. This was no problem for them and they took extra care to make sure she was safe.

I have celiac disease, so avoiding gluten isn't a fad or lifestyle choice I've made. Even worse, my immune system responds to gluten two or three times as severely as most people with my condition, so I am VERY diligent about what I eat. I have not eaten out since shortly after being diagnosed, after a few failed attempts to eat out and just order 'safe' menu items. I was invited to Corelife by a friend and naturally declined per usual, and then learned it promoted a gluten free menu. I did some research online and then additionally verified this claim with staff and afterwards, nervously decided to make an order and take the risk of 3-5 days of trouble breathing, weakness, inability to eat, vomitting, and fever with sweats, and general feeling of unwellness i.e dying. Lol. The food tasted great, the atmosphere was comfortable for an introvert, and it was truly a human experience I've been robbed of since diagnosis of celiac. Days later, my sister wanted to get lunch and I suggested corelife and again, the same great experience. I am moving back to the area shortly from Virginia and am excited to know of one place I can trust to eat out at. The days of going out with friends and restraining myself to a soda or glass of water are over! Thank you core life!

5 stars all around. Super cute, unique cafe. Espresso based drinks, teas, smoothies, and quick bites. Gluten free items available. Great location, dedicated parking, indoor and outdoor seating. Very kid friendly.

Solid experience every single time. I’ve been vegetarian for almost a decade… lived a variety of places and tried a lot of plant-based food. I can confidently say NOTHING tops this place. I’ve never had tofu so flavorful. I’m also gluten free, and their menu has gluten free options labeled (there are a lot!!). My fav dish is the Singapore noodles, I crave this at least once a week.

Amanda Grimwood

I absolutely LOVE this coffee house. The owner is so friendly and has made each experience very personable. She remembers my name, what i order and makes recommendations on what she thinks I will like, remembers where I work and asks me about it. I love the morning crowd that is in here whenever I come in. They always put a smile on my face. I love the variety of local vendors that sell there items. There are so many different interesting things to choose from. I love that when I come buy here I am not only supporting local but also supporting a small local owned business that also supports local artists. Not to mention the garlic chicken salad sandwich that is amazing! While I am not a vegan or look for gluten free options this shop supplies so many options. My daughters love visiting this shop with me on Saturdays or when we all happen to have a day off. If you get an opportunity definitely check them out. You will leave with a smile on your face!

Very good sandwich. I love the gluten free veggie.

First trip here many years ago was great. This last meal two days ago, the steaks were not that good. Also a gluten free menu was never provided

Jason Morton

Very accommodating with the gluten allergy. Dog friendly patio

Casey Ross

I ordered a deluxe. There was no bacon. I requested gluten free and allergy. Bun was gluten free. I ordered a salad said no croutons. There of course were croutons. Ugh

This is my fav place to eat and get my coffee when I visit my grandchildren. My grands also love to get snacks and food there plus the younger ones like to read the books, get a game or color. This past winter, Well Grounded, provided a break from sitting in the house. The gluten free options help a lot too since three of them have sensitivity to gluten. The owner does a great job supporting other community businesses and agencies. At Christmas time, she gets books donated and sells items very cheaply. I have been able to buy some of these items the last few years to help some families who don’t have money to get gifts for their children. The free books meant so much to them. The owner is very attentive and it is a wonderful place to sit and relax in.

Shannon was our bartender Saturday Evening. It was apparent she was busy but that did not stop her from giving amazing service. I had a white chocolate martini and a Paloma. I love a good Paloma but am usually hesitant to order them due to being disappointed in my drink. Shannon made the best Paloma I’ve had. If I was allowed I’d drink 10. She was so kind and gave amazing service. Thank you again Shannon. Marquee you are doing it right by having a gluten free fryer. You don’t understand the happiness I feel knowing I can get good food and don’t have to worry about being sick for weeks. 100/100. We will be back soon!!

Delicious and a great variety! The gluten free bagel is a favorite of mine and I love that it's even an option they have.

My complaint is that while a lot of the menu is marked 'gluten-free' or 'gluten-free option available', it does NOT specify that a lot of it is NOT SAFE for people with Celiac Disease. The waiter the 1st night didn't tell me the fries were cooked in the same fryer as gluten containing food. He was aware that I'm Celiac. Luckily, as I'm 10 hours from home, I didn't get sick. My waiter the 2nd night was also made aware I'm Celiac, and he did tell me what was and wasn't safe. That was so incredibly appreciated. I shouldn't have to tell a restaurant how serious food allergies OR intolerances are (especially if the restaurant is aware enough to put it on the menu). You also need to redo your menus to reflect that a lot of it is not safe for Celiacs.

Excellent service. Gluten free menu. Food was fantastic.

Brandy Mason

I enjoy this restaurant. They have been short staffed for a year or so, but it seems to be improving. They accommodate gluten allergy. Good food.

I’ve come here several times with my fiancé and always loved it but this last time was a disaster. We arrived at 730 via our reservation and were sat immediately. Then were greeted by our waitress who seemed to hate her job honestly was rushing and felt like she was pushing us through the whole time. We ordered drinks and mine tasted like strait bourbon. It’s not supposed to. Then when it was appetizer time my woman ordered gluten free flat bread which we were told you were out of. With her special diet needs this is one of the main reasons we come to this establishment. So we moved on to order the main coarse and at this point it’s 8pm. The waitress disappeared and we could not find her for over 45 minutes. At about 845 she showed back up to take our order. Our food did not come out until about 9:48 PM. once my fiancé cut into her steak. She realized that it was burnt all the way around and unseasoned she ordered the filet mignon, which is our normal favorite thing to get off the menu. Mine was ok but not as great as normal. We were doing the saver Fort Wayne deal and when it was time for dessert about 10 o’clock, the waitress had asked her what dessert she wanted, but had not asked me if I would like dessert which comes with my savor Fort Wayne deal and then proceeded to push us out collect our plates bring our bill as quickly as possible to rush us. I understand that you guys close at 10 PM but we were there at 7:30 and didn’t leave until after 10. Now after reviving the bill they had charged both of us for the Savor Fort Wayne special but my fiancé didn’t get her appetizers and I never got dessert. Very disappointed in the service and food and not sure if we will be returning…

I’ve been here countless times with my family and every time it’s absolutely amazing!! I always get the chicken fried rice with a side of roti flatbread, and for appetizers our family has gotten the curry flight, shrimp and veggie tempura, egg rolls, and for a drink I always get their Thai iced tea!! Staff is always so kind and efficient!! Food is delicious and consistent every time! We have both walked in and made reservations and have never been turned down! We have celebrated many events such as family gatherings, birthdays, and just special life events here and we plan to continue to do it! Prices are great as well!!! I’m pretty sure they have options labeled for gluten free things, and I know they have options labeled for vegetarian and vegan diets!

I asked 3x to please bag my food seperate as I have celiac disease. The other meal had onion rings instead of FF, which onion rings have gluten in the breading, and the FF are gluten free. The drive thru person stated 3x everything is bagged separately. Well it was all bagged together and I could not eat my food.
