Top 17 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Downtown Winston-Salem

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 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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Absolute gem in the heart of downtown Winston-Salem! Everything about this place is great. Coffee is great & biscuits are great. They offer vegan & gluten-free option as well. Worth noting: the biscuits are not cheap, but the quality absolutely matches what you pay. Best biscuit in-town!

I’m in here right now lol. The coffee is great! The pricing is right with other places for the people who have read that it’s expensive. I’m glad to see they have gluten free pastries! I LOVE how it’s pet friendly. My dog enjoyed her pup cup! New hang out spot! I’m doing a paint by sticker book. I enjoy the atmosphere a lot:) 80s music is cool too.

The most adorable shop with the most amazing staff and most delicious tea! I've loved Chad's Chai before the brick and mortar and I've only grown to love the shop more. The staff is always very friendly, knowledgeable, and kind, no matter who you speak to. The cafe offers a wide variety from seating from couches to bar to table and chair and even traditional tea tables. Their pasteries are always delicious and they offer something for everyone from gluten free to dairy and egg free as well as savory and sweet options (always try the poptarts!). They offer tea flights so that your are able to sample some of the amazing teas they offer. It's a wonderful to hang out with friends and family, get some work or studying done, or even just pop in and grab something to go.

Had an amazing time and loved all the gluten free options! I will defiantly be back soon!!

Fantastic Gluten Free options. I had the shredded pork bowl! Husband has the Cuban deluxe and loved it(not gluten-free)! Lemon Lavender Mojito is also amazing!

Frasier Linde

The bartender thought she was ordering my burger as a lettuce wrap (after confirming with the kitchen that there was no gluten-free bun option), but in the system it was just "as a wrap." She offered to have them redo it, but I kept it for the novelty (I'm not strictly gluten free). It was decent, but under-seasoned (to be fair, I omitted the cheese) and I ended up adding ketchup (bacon jam would have been nice). The veggies were excellent as is.

My favorite pizza in Winston Salem! Love having authentic Italian pizza. Pretty sure they import all of their ingredients and even their ovens from Italy. Pizzas are big enough for 3 people usually. Lactose and gluten usually bother me, but these pizzas are light and do not upset my stomach
