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

Lauren Danner

I have celiac and this was the first time I was 100% confident I wouldn’t get glutened. There is a dedicated gluten free kitchen with a small gluten area. The chicken strips fried pickles and fries were so good.

Mariah Overmyer

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!

Jo Anne Adkison

Good gluten free pizza.

Nate Edwards

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!

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 😊

This place is amazing!! I love all the gluten free options. The gluten free bacon, egg and cheese bagel 🥯 was perfection. Their coffee is lovely.

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!

Jessica Pena

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!

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

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.

Jennifer Nolen

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.

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!

Shael Stinger

Food was fantastic and service was amazing. They were even super great in accommodating a gluten and dairy allergy we have. They were very careful in the prep and service.

Micah Barcalow

Excellent food, fantastic service, and a super friendly staff made this a great choice for a meal with friends from out of town. Thanks for having celiac friendly options so our entire family could enjoy food!

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!

NL Hamilton Bartels

We were approaching Fort Wayne, Indiana on a family road trip. I was assigned the duty of finding a restaurant so we could have a nice meal to stretch our legs and get back on the road. Initially I looked up the best restaurants in the city to eat and places did pop up. Then I took a chance and googled vegan restaurants, unsure what options there would be in a largely farming part of the country. I was pleasantly surprised with a few options!! We chose the loving Cafe and were not disappointed!! First, my husband and I loved that everything on the menu was vegan, so we did not have to worry about reading the ingredients to make sure we were choosing the right meals. I was also glad that I did not have to get my hopes up about a meal only to find out that it was not vegan. Second, at least half of their menu was gluten free and/or had a gluten-free option! And finally, I loved the extensive menu options. There was not just one type of cuisine; There were things from all over available and I really really enjoyed the large soup selection of homemade soups!! The people of this area are so lucky to have such a wonderful establishment available to them on a regular basis! We ordered food to go so we could try additional items besides the ones we ordered to have as dine-in. Service was wonderful and I could not have asked for better! Highly recommend!!!

Natalie Jones

What a great place for an informal meeting! I love all the food options, vegetarian and gluten free. Drinks are GREAT!! Staff is informed and nice too.

mike harman

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

John Grossman

Matteo Catalano

Great experience, the staff is always so nice. The variety of beers they offer is great, and they always taste delicious. The POG beer is seriously good. All of their food is so good. They have a nice gluten free menu, and they can often substitute meat for a vegetarian option.

Paige Hovious

I ordered carry out from here last night. I asked if they had gluten free buns which I was told they did, only to get my burger on literal toast? It was odd. It also was not cooked enough and I ate maybe 1/3 of it before having to throw it away. I wasn’t asked how I wanted it cooked, but being a burger I would assume they would cook it atleast medium well. The fries were not seasoned and for a $21 burger/fries it was extremely disappointing. I also got brussel sprouts which were average, better than the burger. Overall, spending $33 before tip was way too much for the qualify of food I got and the taste.

Laurie J krotz

Awesome place! Most of the items are gluten free!

Marjorie Havens

The gluten-free Florentine eggs were delicious

Alysia Hammel

Great staff. Gluten free buns

Bean !

Very nice people working here! It was my first time at a bar and I had a delicious fruity drink! It was fairly priced and the environment was great. Also ordered pizzas to go which were super good! Thank you for having a gluten-free crust option!! I would definitely stop by Redwood Inn again, great place to be!

Erin Martin

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.

Unicorn Sprinkles

It was a nice date that my granddaughter and I went on, and she chose Culver's as she knows that grandma has Celiac disease and that this is one of the few places that I can safely eat at! Thank you Culver's for delicious food, fun atmosphere, making us feel welcome, and most of all I did NOT get sick!!! NO CROSS CONTAMINATION!!! That means the world to have a safe, yummy place to eat!!!!

Janice Rios

Excellent service. Gluten free menu. Food was fantastic.

Delaney Schnipke

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!!

William Iltzsche

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.

Barbora Kocsisová

Very good sandwich. I love the gluten free veggie.

Maddy T

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!

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.

Megan Brutsche

The gluten free pub burger was 12/10. So good! Being gluten free, it’s hard to find good GF buns. The nachos were excellent & enough for multiple people. Full bar with specials. We’re from out of town & come here every time we’re in Fort Wayne. Everything is delicious and I would definitely recommend the pub to everyone.

Gina Middleton

First time was Saturday 4/1, will be last time. Arrived at 6:00 pm - was told that unless we wanted to pay the "2 for $45" dinner, we had to wait until 7:00 pm. We chose that option. Ordered at 7:00 pm, didn't get our order until after 8:00 pm. One of our party did not get her correct order (she needed a gluten free pizza - did not get it). I don't recall see that there was a dinner with a show menu only from 4pm-7pm. Also, music was LOUD and not that great.

Gordon Londini

This store on Lima Rd is the better of the 2 in town. The dining room is really nice and the food is great. I highly recommend it. The pick 2 is always a great option and the 1/2 salad was huge. They can also swap out the standard bread for gluten free bread!!

Daniel Brown

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…

Unicorn Sprinkles

My sister was in town and took us to lunch here. I was impressed by the large amount of options available for people with Celiac disease and a gluten allergy!!! I did not get sick, the food was really good, and the staff was amazing in helping me out!!

Christina Bueno

I am gluten free so many items on the all you can eat meal I wasn't able to eat. The server, Donavon L. was great and even offered a soup as a replacement for some of the things I couldn't eat. The soup was amazing!! I have never been to a place like this. It was a really neat experience cooking the food yourself on the table. We had them change out the cooking plate 2 x while eating and the employees were all kind.

John Staley

Then nicest sushi restaurant in Fort Wayne. Excellent food and service. Gluten free options. Try the sushi class. It's great

Matthew Warren

Great food and selections of food !!! Choices from a complete extensive gluten free menu, to shrimp, fish, steak, bison and veal, along with a brunch and lunch buffet.

John Staley

Great sushi. Many gluten free options. Friendly staff

Marissa Mattson

Gluten free buns available, they are careful about cross-contamination and I have not gotten sick from eating there. Hard to choose which sandwich to eat, they are all delicious

Tyler

A pretty good place for dinner. Their hamburgers are great and the have a decent gluten free menu.

Pamela Lengacher

So 5 stars isn’t high enough. This is the best kept secret in the area. The menu is perfection. I love meat and vegetables and fruits so I got all 3 in a wrap that was to die for. My friend is gluten-free, dairy free and vegetarian and she had a salad that was filling and just what she wanted. Once people find this place you won’t go anywhere else. Staff is fabulous and friendly and very helpful. Love love love!

Tricia Slone

Veggie burger was perfect w/many options to choose from, including gluten free. I love onion rings but they added so much salt to my to-go container that it was in puddles and I had to throw them away. I’m going to ask if the salt can be omitted next time or if that’s how they normally come. Mint Andes shake was delicious. Service here is perfection. I pick up DoorDash orders here often & they’re always polite.
