Top 22 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Winston-Salem

Wowza!! I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious these gluten free deserts were. I stumbled upon this place by happenstance and since I’m gluten free decided to try the brownie, pecan pie and gingerbread cookie. I’m use to gluten free deserts having a slightly odd flavor or grainy texture so I was expecting this from what I purchased. Boy was I wrong!! Everything taste divine and the textures were on par!! Again, I was so pleasantly surprised that I had to write this review right away. Can’t wait to come back and try new things 😁

Burger was just adequate. Tomato was underripe. Bun was dry. Service/ friendliness was absent. They don’t ask for tips that may be why. Fries were good. I had a gluten allergic reaction after 30 minutes even though it’s reportedly a dedicated frier. Parking in the area is a nightmare… we wouldn’t come back.

I was very pleased with the gluten friendly menu. Dessert options were great. Malachi was great at knowing all the dessert options. My food came exactly how I ordered. Oh and the Italian Moscato was delish.

I recently was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and have to eat gluten free. The gluten free pizza here is incredible! I have been going to mellow mushroom since way before I got diagnosed and their food has always been amazing. I was just not expecting their gluten free menu to be equally as good! Love it!

Out waitress Emma was great, I have celiac disease and she got me a gf menu and made suggestions but the food and service was great.

Sheena Luke

We're always able to find really delicious gluten free options, great for lunch or breakfast.

We love PF Chang's. Ember is such a great hostess. Highly recommend - make reservations it gets busy here!!! Love that they have a gluten free menu.

Gianna S

Great food and gluten free options.

Bharvi Stalhamer

We stopped here due to other reviews that said they offer gluten free menu and options since I’m celiac. Atmosphere and service excellent. For the quality of food, it was great but the flavors could be better versus other places I’ve eaten at.

Lindsay Cepriano

Amazing. I wish I could live here and just eat from the menu for the rest of my life. I was amazed by the all of the gluten free items. I had chicken and waffles for the first time ever and that hot honey sauce was so good. Next time we come to visit we’re going to book a room at the inn. Our awesome server told us breakfast is included with your stay! The inn is super cute and the restaurant is gorgeous. I love the look of the place, it’s so cozy. And the mimosas were so good! We will definitely be back!!

Multi family group of 9...3 adults, 3 college guys and 3 younger boys waited over an hour while multiple booths opened parties of 2 and 3 were set immediately after arriving. Our group could've fit perfectly in 2 booths. We actually overheard the manager tell the most wonderful hostess to not worry about the party of 9 when she was working on getting us seated. Our reasoning for choosing Brixx is due to their gluten free menu. Our waiter spilled a drink and partially mopped it with towels. We had a missed order of wings that was mistaken for a pizza which had our 12 yr old starting his meal after most of us were finished. Absolutely uncalled for!!! The food wasn't bad but way too pricey for the serving size. Here is the kicker...Our group split the bill which caused our waiter turmoil. He had us review the split tickets to make sure they were correct. Then he took the tickets and added 20% gratuity onto both tickets without evening asking. I believe in tipping but this should be up to the patrons discretion. This was my family's first and last visit which doesn't bother me one bit. Sincerely, Dissatisfied and disappointed!!!

Jersey Mike’s was great with my gluten allergy. They were happy to change gloves and clear the counter for my sandwich. Celiacs: check this out!

JulieBird

Yummy!! Gluten free… yamas has you covered! Wow flair for food flavors. Highly recommend!

Maya Cribbs

Hands down best burger in Winston-Salem! They even have a gluten-free bun for all my gluten-senstive folks out there. Food always comes out in a timely manner, and service is friendly and attentive.

Ivy Vance

Placed a catering order the day before for a work function. The service was great but the food itself was disappointing and the bread was stale. The gluten free bread was torn in half lengthwise in one box. It was definitely not worth the price and will not be ordering again.

Mike Sudol

We ordered dinner for several family members and like usual everything was great. We picked it up curbside and service was prompt and the food hot. Have fined in previously and the experience was pleasant. Also they have gluten-friendly menu items which is nice for folks with wheat or gluten sensitivity.

The server was nice, the food was served quickly and it was good plus plentiful. They have gluten free toast and fruit options with no extra charges. They also provide almond milk at no charge. Very good food and the ice server was Summer.

Lindsay Cepriano

Sooo many gluten free options! This place is amazing! We were just in town visiting and now I want to move here so I can visit Yamas every week!!!!!!! The portions are huge and the food is delicious!!!! Definitely wished I lived closer! We were super impressed! The restaurant was very clean and the staff was super friendly and helpful.

jen gad

Wow! This restaurant is amazing! Lots of vegetarian/vegan/gluten free options! I ordered green curry with tofu. Best I've had! The environment is inviting, and the staff was friendly and extremely attentive!

Pam Morris

Went for a Sunday Bloody Mary. As also was greeted as soon as we entered. Once entered, the bartender greeted us, asked if we would like menus. Had our drinks in less than 2 minutes. Could not ask for better. Even though we did not eat this visit, the menu has a wide variety or choices, including gluten free and vegan. The fiid has always been delicious.

Sandra Lefenfeld

This is THE PLACE to get Indian food in the Winston-Salem area. The food is consistently well prepared and totally delicious. It is obvious that it is cooked with love. The service is always friendly and attentive. I've eaten here weekly for about a year - there isn't a bad dish on the menu, but the Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta, Vegetable Korma, and anything from the Tandoor are particularly good choices. And the Vegetable Pakoras are a great choice to start. As a bonus, many of the dishes are gluten-free, so it's any easy choice if GF is a concern.

Megan Burke

Great food, great service! Also does a great job at making gluten-free food that is celiac-friendly!!

Kelly “Kaydee Robins” Beckwith

Food was piping hot and delicious. Several gluten friendly and vegetarian options. I got the shrimp and grits, the best grits I have recently. Mom got the meatloaf which she says is the best restaurant meatloaf ever. Everything was absolutely delicious. The staff was excellent, the waiter kept our glasses full. Even the chairs were comfy.

Lior Seidel

Great vegan & GF options

Anthony Monioudis

First time here. Nice atmosphere. Excellent service. And great food. Server was very knowledgeable with regard to lumen free needs of one diner. Got two Tacos, beef with hard corn shells (gluten free) and Pollo Peluza (chicken with green pepper, squash and other veggies over rice) . Even the chips and salsa were outstanding. Chips are on the thicker side with a little spice kick. If you have not been, give it a try. Oh. And prices reasonable too for generous portions.

Betsy Banks Saul

Wonderful. Thanks for vegetarian and loads of gluten free options!

Janet Cresse

What a great find. They have a gluten free menu. Service and food was great. I had salmon with broccoli and sweet potato casserole gluten free.

Marie Green

Best gluten free pizza hands down!

Jen McCraw

The coffee is great, but the best part about this place is the owners. They are so incredibly nice and foster a welcoming coming. I love that they make their own tea blends, syrups, and pastries. They also usually have a few gluten free options. They brew their own coffee, and it is very high quality.

Coltin Greer

Great, clean and delicious food with a variety of options that cater to anyone including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Quick service but made to order makes for a good lunch and dinner place if you are not in a hurry. Friendly staff and service is always a plus and can be found here.

Kristopher “Kris” Koontz

Great burgers, fries, and frozen custard. Being celiac I hardly ever eat fast food but I tried a burger and fries at this location today for the first time. I'm happy to report no noticeable gluten cross contamination as they have a dedicated French fryer, prepackaged gluten-free bun that actually held together, and an excellent burger with plenty of toppings. My son had the daily special peach custard and reported it as some of the best he's ever had. The staff was courteous and patient with all of my questions about their food handling procedures. The food arrived very quickly and the restaurant was as clean as I've ever seen a fast food restaurant.

Sheena Luke

The gluten free waffle was so amazing that I had to ask if there was a mistake. It was incredible! Everything that we had was fresh, delicious and almost addictive. My favorite breakfast spot in the city!

Jeanne Marie Traester

We had a GREAT experience at CAVA in Winston-Salem. We were served by Ben, a new hire, who was so conscientious and efficient. One member of our party had a dairy and gluten allergy. Ben guided us thru the selections and served up a safe and delicious bowl. Ben should receive honors for new hire or the month. Thank you Ben and CAVA.

I recently visited The Downtown Grille for the first time, choosing it based on its stellar reputation—and it more than lived up to expectations. From the moment we walked in, the experience was exceptional. The service was outstanding, thanks to our server, Alex, who was knowledgeable and attentive, offering great recommendations that enhanced our meal. We started with two sides: the burrata and the octopus. Both were excellent, but the octopus stood out for being incredibly tender and flavorful. For entrées, my clients shared the 16oz ribeye, which was perfectly cooked, while I opted for the chicken marsala. Both dishes were beautifully prepared and full of rich, balanced flavors. Two of us eat gluten-free, and the restaurant easily accommodated our dietary needs without compromising on taste. Adding to the experience, General Manager Jon and Executive Sous Chef Giovanni took the time to visit our table, chatting with us about the menu and ensuring everything was perfect. Their passion for hospitality and attention to detail truly set this restaurant apart. My goal was to impress my clients, and The Downtown Grille delivered on every level. In the process, I also discovered a new favorite spot. I’ll definitely be returning for business or to enjoy another outstanding meal. Highly recommended!

Jose Marti

Excellent service! Food was great. Good gluten free options.

Jen McKean

Loved the Paloma!! I also ordered guacamole de la casa, queso and Tres Mexicana. All were either very good or delicious. Vegetarian friendly and gluten-free friendly. Friendly service, too.

Tiffany Thompson

Recently found out that I can't have Gluten and I've been skipping out on Burger places cause it's usually a hassle, but was really wanting some 5 guys cause it's been about a year since I had them, I asked if they could make a burger without bread and they gave me way more options than I expected and went above and beyond for me even thought I was trying to not be picky. I got my double cheese burger wrapped in lettuce with all the fixings and I felt absolutely spoiled. It was delicious and I didn't even miss the bread. The fries are so delicious, I love the spicy seasoning they use on them.

Ron

Very good espresso drinks and lots of vegan and gluten free options, including vegan Gelato and pastries.

Amber Woodford

Visiting from out of town with college roommates! We really enjoyed Fratelli's. Our server Zeke was great: very knowledgeable about the gluten-free options for my friend with celiac disease, and he had a great wine recommendation for us to take advantage of the happy hour special. All our steaks were cooked perfectly, and the risotto and Brussels sprouts sides were also delicious.

Titsa Star

Our "go-to" for fresh and delicious vegan pizza in Winston Salem! Absolutely LOVE their vegan philly sandwich and their vegan poutine! Many gluten-free options as well. Great family-friendly restaurant with something for everyone!

Alexandra Yarnevich

I have Celiacs and a number of protein allergies. Their food was safe for me and was absolutely delicious!

Zach Shelton

Phenomenal business lunch spot. Service was top notch and food was easy to make gluten free.

Nicole Nicole

I cannot say enough about the amazing dining experience I had at this venue. The restaurant is located in a beautiful shopping district with serene open spaces and access to the botanical garden. Plan in advance since the wait can be long, but whatever the wait is, it's worth it. Our server David is the exemplar of restaurant service. He was professional, efficient, gracious, responsive and kind. In a packed restaurant, he made us feel as though we were his only customers. You can't go wrong with anything that you choose. The shrimp and grits was the superstar at our table. The flavors were a celebration in my mouth! The wings came to our table with the skin crisp and seasoned, yet saucy. Don't pass up the opportunity to experience this dining experience. Great gluten free options, as well.

Jamie Stockman

Not bad, but the service was a little erratic. I have to go gluten free, so the ginger dressing salad was okay for me, but no soup option. I had the shrimp and steak combo, but mine had to be made gluten free separately in the kitchen. They did bring it out at about the same time others were having to theirs cooked in front of us at the tables.

shae mabe

Took our 4 kiddos and had a delicious dinner on their patio! I can’t say enough about our server David as well! He was so polite and helpful with recommendations since it was our first time there! My daughter and I have celiac disease and David and the kitchen staff were very accommodating and understanding! We will absolutely be back.

Beast Mode Chapo

Each bite was better than previous bite! GLUTEN!!

s dixon

Love Muddy Creek, open mic on Thursday, or a sandwhich at lunch, they have gluten free bread!!!

Brooke Sanders

Great little spot! Great coffee and fun breakfast choices. I could find gluten-free alternatives, and even options with lots of veggies. I opted for huevos rancheros today, and was not disappointed! Even a good spot to come solo and sit at a bar window seat.

Colby Solomon

Manager knows what's up on gluten free cooking, she was great, would definitely go again.

R Stroud

Excellent service from Carrington! She was polite and paid attention to details. Food was good and plentiful. Limited gluten-free items (salads mostly).
