Top 26 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in North Hills, Raleigh

So I have autoimmune disease called Celiac Disease and that means gluten and me do not get along at all. This place has great gluten free reviews and was super excited coming here. Well now I am about ready to lose my mind. I asked my usual questions concerning gluten free items and preparations for their food/drinks. I ordered a CIDER and got served a BEER without hesitation. This is actually absurd. When somebody asks you about gluten free items and safety precautions and then immediately within 2 minutes get served a gluten containing item, it’s just actually ridiculous. The server was apologetic and kind but not knowing the difference between beer and cider is disheartening.

Go to spot for lunch. Food is always fresh and a great way for me to eat healthy and feel full after! Plenty of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options.

Amazing service with Daniel, he was very attentive, fast, and friendly. Great food as always, cooked well and not a long wait. Great options for gluten free, both mains and sides.

My family had an amazing meal at Cowfish. As someone with gluten sensitivity, it's so hard to find safe foods. It was very comforting when the waitress asked if anyone had allergies before even taking our drink orders. The menu has something for everyone & there are some very interesting combinations. All-in-all, the food was delicious & the atmosphere was very fun & celebratory. We had a wonderful time!

I found my new go-to spot! I'm looking for healthy spots to eat (mainly gluten free and dairy free options). The food at Happy & Hale is not only healthy and meets my dietary needs but it's also SO DELICIOUS! Everyone working at this location is extremely friendly and makes you feel really welcome and at home. I met the owner and he's super friendly as well! Try JP's gluten free desserts - you will not be disappointed!

Overall: A This is one of the few places that I’ve had the chance to visit at several locations and the experience has been amazing each time. I’ve come with friends or one on one with my wife, it’s been great each time. Food: A+ The food is excellent for breakfast and brunch. It makes it also a great healthy choice if you want gluten free choices (they can accommodate you). Service: A The service was great and friendly. We didn’t have to wait to be seated. Honestly, that depends on the location and when you decide to arrive. But the hostess was friendly and welcoming with a big smile. The staff at this location seem to be young and energetic. The food didn’t take too long to come out and was very attentive to our needs. Ambiance: A It’s a very casual place. No need to dress up. Lively, but not too noisy. The music is there but not too noticeable. Big windows that let a lot of natural light in. We’ve eaten both outside and inside; you will enjoy it either way. Price: B+ Obviously, perception of price is relative depending on your income. But I’ve been to couple similar style restaurants, and I would say that the price could be perceived as a little high to some for just breakfast. For two, you might pay around $45-60 (tips included). Parking: B At this particular location, parking is somewhat difficult because there aren’t that many parking spots in front of the restaurant. But there’s a big parking lot several feet away, so it’s not too bad. Restroom: N/A Unfortunately, I’ve never been to the restroom each time we’ve visited so I can’t speak on that. The whole place seems to be well cleaned and maintained. Overall score: A Highly recommend this place! 😊 P.S. Our server name was Jacob (with glasses). Very nice guy!

I have always loved this place they meet gluten and vegetarian digestions. Their menu is short yet diverse and they change it on a regular basis. The quality of food is good. However, the portions can be on the smaller side, but is plenty enough for me not likely to have any to take home

Got their unique pork burger with the candied bacon and blueberry ketchup on a gluten free bun. It was absolute perfection and a great size. Gf bun was also good. Not the Udi brand that falls apart. Gf crème brûlée Cheesecake was also good. Thank you!

Amazing food! My party shared the fried ravioli and bruschetta which was really delicious and I had the gluten free baked ziti. Everything was cooked well and the sauces for everything were delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I will be coming back and highly recommend this spot for Italian food.

I had a great experience at Stir with a friend. We both had the Viva La Astral cocktail, mine with Mezcal and hers with Casamigos Reposado Tequila...and they were *excellent*. I also had the Tuna Burger with asparagus, both excellent as well. Kelsey took great care of us as our server and was helpful in navigating the menu with respect to our respective gluten and dairy sensitivities 👏👏👏 This was my first time visiting Stir, and I’ll definitely be back!

Caroline Wells

If you are celiac, do NOT eat here. Sickest I’ve ever been. I was told that my meal was gluten free, but there is no way. After getting sick, I researched and saw that many other people have gotten sick here too. Food isn’t even that good.

Megan Talbot

Good gluten free options

Carmel Leannah

We met friends for dinner this past Friday night. We wanted to especially mention Chris M., our waiter. He was the perfect waiter...always there when you needed him but not hovering. He seemed to just time it beautifully. Also, Chris is great about describing the dishes and helped our friend pick the perfect gluten free meal. The food was fantastic, as always....starting with the appetizer and ending with dessert. Thank you for coming to North Hills we enjoy your restaurant immensely.

Gluten free options and can find out what foods can be lactose free

Deborah Hart-Serafini

They don’t have anything gluten free. Coffee was ok but almost all coffee shops have something gluten free.

Max Forest

Put this place on your map! A+ lighting, atmosphere, seating, and service. Food is healthy, and you can solidly make something gluten free. Can’t forget to mention really good coffee. Welcome to Raleigh Drift! You will receive much of my business.

Kerry Dyresen

Gluten free options are fantastic!

Elizebeth Miller

The nicest owners and the best gluten free scones in the area! Coffee is also always amazing!

Katrina Jeffery

The food was so good! The atmosphere was fun (we went on Friday night). It was a great experience. I didn’t take a picture of the food but it was amazing. I got the Quesabirrias De Res which was some of the best tacos that I have ever had. The tortillas were corn for those with gluten intolerance. It’s definitely a must try.
