Top 45 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Cedar Rapids

Amy Medford

Delightful place. The food is amazing, the space is cozy, the atmosphere is neighborly. It is a local pub with really cool maps on the wall. They offer delicious vegan (and soy free !) food. It can even be gluten free. Service is great and friendly.

Best keto/gluten free food I’ve had!!!

Not bad option for Gluten Free casual dining. The GF beer is amazing, but no potato vodka option like the Map Room. There is only one GF bun, so don't expect a "hoagie" with the Philly Cheese Steak - the flavor of which is good, but not great. I shied away from the special coleslaw due to the accents about the cilantro, but when I asked for a taste, it was good. And the black bean salad was AMAZING! (despite the canned beans). Only mildly busy on this Monday happy hour, but very friendly customers! B.T. Is not a fan of women on their own (observed over 2hrs).

Sofia was so great and really listened to my concerns of having gluten free food due to having celiac disease. She was very kind and service was great

Chris C

Gluten free bread actually taste like real bread!!! First time in a long time, food came out fast and hot and servers where super friendly

Melanie Roepke

Looked cute. Drove here based on reviews, arrived at opening on a Saturday and there were ZERO gluten free treats available. Left sad and empty-handed.

Tesha Sederburg

Had it to go. The gluten free chicken nuggets are the best! Staff was wonderful!

Averie Price

Such a great place to eat. As someone with Celiac, the staff here is very knowledgeable about gluten free. Their selection of gluten free is incredible!

Tanner Hagen

Still my favorite restaurant, even after loosing my old Google account. I must be a "yuppíe" as Christy Dykes would apparently say. Please Google the definition of "Entree" before saying it's too small. I generally order 2 appetizers, an entree, a dessert, and two millstream sodas. I am a 200lb man after all. I have Celiac and this place has proven itself to me to be celiac-safe time and time again. Also if you are going to use a derogatory biker term, please know what it means, I am 40+, most are older and no one here is pretending to like Harleys. Is being well paid even an insult, lmao. My "father" was in an MC and I hate Harleys. Oh, and go watch South Park "the F-word" to see what most of America thinks about Harley riders these days. If you can't afford it just say so 🤷‍♂️. I am a disabled stay at home Dad, I am paid in smiles. I personally can only afford it twice a year (my wife and I spent $140+ a $20 tip last time) and I go out to eat nowhere else because there is nowhere else that is truly safe for someone with celiac.

Brian Channel

Would have given 5 stars overall and on service. However this is 2nd or 3rd time I've told the cook I'm on a gluten-free diet and none of the usual precautions were taken. No adverse effects but please make sure your employees who are cooking understand what that means. Otherwise good food and experience as always!

Love the gluten free options

Great gluten free menu

Knowledgeable about gluten free options.

Olivia Adams

I just had a get together with what I thought was going to be 10 people, and ended up having closer to 20. The server (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name) was awesome and so flexible with us. She was also supportive of my request to not offer alcoholic beverages, as I'm in recovery. They also had gluten free kids pizza that was delicious! Everyone's food came out in an awesome amount too time considering how many people there were including a couple of the guests that came a little after we showed up. I am extremely grateful for the kindness of the staff 🙏 even when our children weren't seated and going to the toy machines and back. Great place. Thank you so much 💓

Daniel Galis

We got salads which were good. A decent amount of the menu items can be prepared gluten free. Speak to the manager about celiac safety since the servers were not as knowledgeable. Overall I would come here again, and I felt comfortable having celiac disease.

Local roasters with housemade syrups, gluten-free bakery options, healthy bowls, and breakfast foods. The vibe is chill to hang out, work, or read. 📚

Ankita Maheshwari

As an Indian American, I am very pleased with the food and the general atmosphere here. I love the decor, its so vibrant and cozy and the service is really warm and friendly. The food is great, lots of variety and the menu is very clear on vegan and gluten free options.

Alan Buss

Bari was amazing! We went tonight for our anniversary, and really enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant is really fun, with intriguing Italian food combinations, and fun drinks too. I had the ravioli with ribeye, which was so unique, and really wonderful! My wife had a gluten-free pasta, which was similarly wonderful (especially for gluten free pasta!). For dessert, I had the tiramisu, which was also amazing. My wife tried a new vegan chocolate mousse, which you could not even tell was vegan! Totally amazing! We ate outside, which was also lovely, with a nice breeze (and protected from the rain). And the service was excellent as well (nice job!). Overall, highly recommended!!

Jason Silcox

I'm gluten-free and tried their gf noodles and wasn't impressed (undercooked), but tried the doodles (zucchini noodles,) this time. Phenomenal!!! Next time, i,'m trying it with shrimp.

I called ahead and spoke with the chef ahead of going here for a group event. They answered my questions for celiac accommodations and said that they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, that they do not toast their GF buns near regular ones (they steam them), and that they often serve orders for people with celiac. I felt confident going into the dinner the next day after that conversation. Unfortunately, when I ordered the server told me that the gluten-free fryer was not running that night. They offered a salad or soup as a side instead of the fries. I do believe they can accommodate celiac needs but suggest calling that day and confirming that the fryer is up and running if you are looking forward to ordering something that would require it!

Great staff, great food! Nice gluten free options.

We enjoyed an excellent, unique dinner here last night and can't wait to go back. They have something for everyone, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc. The vegan pate board they featured for vegan week was amazing. I will be thinking about that for a long time! Daniel and Armina do a great job and really care about their guest's experience. Highly recommend when you're tired of the usual Iowa menus served at other places. Cocktails looked fantastic but we had a delicious Tempranillo. This is a restaurant that deserves support from the community because it adds a different and delicious dining experience.

Great tasting food that can be gluten free

Kate Foley

This was an amazing hidden gem! My family of 4 all enjoyed the amazing food! I got the elite corn shrimp salad and it was delicious! My husband got the BBQ burger which looked insane and he loved it. The fries were also a highlight. They have vegan/vegetarian and gluten free options clearly listed on the menu.

Jeff Myrom

Looking for a Mexican restaurant that has a fresh and different approach than many? This restaurant had excellent service, high quality dishes, nice booths and a fun atmosphere. Plenty of gluten-free options too.

Alyssa Telecky

Great flavors, I’m so thrilled there are gluten free options! I went over lunch and there was plenty of parking and it wasn’t as busy as I expected. My takeout order was accurate and on time, and came with a fork and napkins. I expected a bit more meat on the Texas Cowboy bowl, but the portions are large and definitely filling. Will be back to try their sandwiches!

Kate Foley

We ordered food to go. I am gluten free and the manager took extra care to make my basket without contamination. The food was amazing. They have amazing burgers but their fries might be the best! The bacon was also perfectly crisp and real tasting!

Kent Andersen

Came in on a recommendation and was very happy! The pepperoni crusted bosco sticks were amazing with the cheese dip! Ordered 2 pizzas that were hot and full of flavor. Fresh baked cookies for dessert! Menu has gluten free options and power bowls as well. Server was friendly and helpful. Outdoor patio. Lots more to try next time!

Chad Gammon

Awesome vegan / gluten free lunch today! I had the Egg-less salad wrap and gazpacho. The gazpacho was amazing!

Emma Mabry

Ate here for lunch and shared the veggie bowl, no coast bowl, the weekly special and spring rolls. All of them were amazing! Great balance of flavor. Always great to find a place that offers dairy and gluten free options!

Cedar Rapids— great food, great atmosphere, great service, damn good Bloody Mary no frills just good. Hard to beat the price point! Wish we could have stayed for the band. Lots of gluten free options too. Can’t wait to try the Sunday Brunch….went back for the buffet, give the buffet a stand alone 5-stars. Been there several times now, each time a different server - each server 10 stars!

Ben put his heart and soul into this creation for my celiac bowels. Thank you! Awesome service. Love Ann

Jessica Truitt

Excellent food! Great service and friendly staff! We had a great time and very full belly's when we left! And the fries were gluten free, that's a huge plus for me.

marie

the best sushi in iowa!! the staff here is always so friendly and the food is great. also plenty of gluten free options. i highly recommend this place.

Katrina Oaklander

Lovely little place with a great mission to serve the community and a focus on helping the less fortunate. Instead of a tip for food service workers, you can choose to contribute to a "pay it forward" fund to help provide free meals to the needy. If you're hungry and can't afford a meal, you can discreetly order a meal from the pay it forward fund. The food is made from locally-sourced ingredients when possible, and is fresh, healthy, and delicious. Wonderful vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. A restaurant totally worthy of anyone's support!

greg happel

Had lunch here with son #3. He did a high-school project in marketing with the owner. Mmm great stuff. Had the cod pub sandwich with tots as side. My son had gluten free burger. We were both excited about the number of pickles! Plus it was really great tasting! Wow they even toasted the buns (see picture). Just right thx!

Lynn Woodley

Delicious flavors. Quick lunch service. Extremely kind, friendly faces! Very helpful in choosing appetizers and entrées. Highly recommend! Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options.
