Top 29 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Spartanburg

An absolutely must stop for gluten-free individuals! They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer! But my husband and dad aren’t gluten-free and made happy plates! Our meals were amazing and the service is top notch! They have put a lot of attention into updating their dining room to make the atmosphere relaxing and hip. Definitely a must visit!

I am celiac, Gluten Free crust, dairy and onion allergy.. they offer GF crust, vegan cheese, and the rest is magic. Get you pizza done on the bottom oven so the vegan cheese melts well, and you get a crispy crust! I think sometimes they try to be too skimpy on everything they put on their pizza including sauce, but I just prompt him that I want more sauce and more cheese and they do it for me.

Our server was amazing, we explained we were celiac gluten-free. When the kitchen mistakenly put one of the items on toast, she had them remake the meal and let the manager know. The manager came over and apologized and adjusted the bill. The food was cooked perfectly and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

This is a taco infusion style restaurant. This means that the tacos are "fancy" even the regular tacos. We started with drinks. Our waitress suggested an edit to my margarita that turned out to be splendid. I had the strawberry margarita with Casa Amigo Reposada and it was like a desert in a glass. (Almost to smooth so be careful) We ordered the tacos 101 because we came in looking for regular tacos and they were delicious. Very flavorful. We also ordered rice and beans on the side, which were not quite hot enough. Our server took them back and made it right. I do recommend that you ask foe your food HOT... As for being careful with food, I have celiac and my server was able to make suggestions on how to order so that my food was safe. On that note Our server was sweet, funny, sassy and attentive. She was delightful with her suggestions and her attitude was genuine. My only complaint is that we cannot transport this server to every location that we visit

Just left extremely furstrated and without my order. When we ordered the guy taking the order had to re-enter the order a second time due to a computer glitch. When he re-entered the order he did not add the request for a gluten-free bun. When they called the name for my order, the order wasn't finished and they did not have a gluten-free bun. The same guy who took my order began to make excuses. The restuarant was filthy as no tables had been cleared for a long time. In fact there were more dirty tables than clean. After waiting another 10 minutes to get a corrected order, my wife and I just walked out. So while I am out $29.16, this Fuddruckers will never see another dollar from me. I suggest everyone stay away.

Absolutely the WORST experience at Cribbs EVER! We arrived at 7:10 and after being seated waited 10 minutes to have our waitress come to our table. She was the most rude waiter I and my husband have ever experienced. Talked fast and quietly and when asked “what” would roll her eyes. We asked her what the gluten free options were (because my husband and I both have severe celiac disease and Cribbs doesn’t have a GF menu which is insane). She huffed, rolled her eyes, and said let me check. She came back with some options and my husband ordered the Jamie Poo burger with a gluten free bun and I ordered the Cobb salad with salmon. We waited 30 minutes for our meal and when the burger came out there were pieces of fried onion on the burger (so it was not made gluten free). We looked for our waitress but couldn’t find her and explained the issue to another employee. She spoke with her manger, apologized to us and said a new order was put in. Our ORIGINAL waitress NEVER apologized, or even brought up the issue. After waiting another THIRTY minutes the manager finally came with the new burger and apologized but did not even offer to take off the meal from our bill. The waitress came by after and grab my husbands water glass, filled it up with water, and slammed it down so hard water went everywhere and she did not even apologize. The next time she passed by we asked for the check and when she brought it she threw it on to the table and kept walking. I would have somewhat understood the rush had Cribbs been busy but they weren’t! It is not our fault we were born with Celiac Disease and should not feel like a burden because of our allergy! The fact that the manager did not even offer to remove something from our bill spoke enough words. 0/10 will NEVER be back!

Ali Baba is an absolute gem in the realm of Mediterranean cuisine in Spartanburg! The gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free options are plentiful and equally delicious. As someone with dietary restrictions, it's incredible to find a restaurant that goes above and beyond to accommodate. Ali Baba is the first Mediterranean restaurant that I’ve ever found that offers gluten-free pita bread! It was soft, warm, and seriously delicious! The falafel gyro and the hummus platter were fantastic! We sat outside for dinner. The cute tables and umbrellas provided the perfect dining ambiance! The owner, Eric, even came outside to introduce himself and thank us for dining at Ali Baba! Ali Baba has my highest recommendation. Whether you're a local or just passing through, pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed!

One of my regulars where I can choose what I want on my potatoes. I wouldn’t necessarily say that this is a good place for some with celiac and wheat allergy to eat, but I’m not that hypersensitive to any of it so I don’t really worry about cross-contamination issues.

We ate dinner here and the food was fantastic! I appreciated a gluten free noodle options. Staff was excellent, we will be back. Loved the atmosphere but the music was a little loud, other than that perfect.

Michelle Winesett

Wonderful gluten free, nondairy lunch! Everyone is so kind and accommodating!

We had never been here before, but wanted to celebrate a birthday so this ended up being our final choice. I have Celiac, and one reason this was the choice was because the menu was clearly marked with GF items. With that said, I am still often nervous about trying an untested place. Our server, Amber, immediate set my mind at ease by how knowledgeable she was, and she also immediately went back and informed the kitchen. Based on her recommendation, I ended up going with the salmon. Not only was the salmon cooked to perfection, but the kale (kale!) was incredible. It was so good, I want the recipe. Best kale I have ever had. For those of us who didn't need to be so careful, the food was also labeled "incredible," "mmmmmm," and "so good." Amber made the experience warm, delightful, and safe (which is important for someone with Celiac), but it also informs the level of care and craft in the whole place. We all left impressed and delighted. If I could give 20/10 I would. I will be back again, birthday or not, and I'm already looking forward to seeing what their spring/summer menu will entail. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I cannot reiterate enough how grateful I am for the attention and care Amber gave to my dietary needs.

Very accommodating of the gluten free community!

Charles Kramp

Incredible burgers including the softest and best tasting Gluten Free bun!

Vikki Redden

Great food! Definitely Celiac friendly. Enjoyed the atmosphere.

Bruno

Order was not right; gluten intolerant but received flour tortilla. Ordered an Izze. I guess it’s best to pay for something and not get to drink it. Why are most Chipotle employees useless? How do I actually get my money back without getting a run-around?

Amber L

Good gluten free pancakes. Lots of customization.

Robert Drake

What a great road food find! South Asian burger fusion? Yes, please. The staff is very caring and cordial and the atmosphere is great. The Thai style soup is amazing as was the duck sandwich. The green curried salmon was truly spiced to give it some heat. It will both taste great and keep you breathing cleanly! Vegetarians and gluten-free will have a great time. Wheelchair accessibility is a bit tough. Call ahead, but come eat here!

Joyce Neuse

The food is very good, a bit pricey and they really need a few more gluten free items. They have unique teas and lemonades and staff is very friendly. Would have been 5 stars if they had more gluten free choices.

Ashley Akers

Worst customer service. Sad. Not like all other chick fil an anywhere else. Ordered ice dream for gluten free child and asked lady to add more because it was basically empty and lid was on top - only 3-5 bites total. Employee with nametag Cecy rolled her eyes and said “ummmm I mean I guess I can ask if they can remake it” while laughing and being condescending. I just said “no thanks” due to her classless response. Called and spoke to Brittney since Keith Laws the operator was not available. Told her situation. Also told her how all bathrooms were covered with urine in floor and not clean. Trash cans overflowing and bathrooms had not been cleaned in ages. Shocked. Chick fil A is not like this anywhere else. Others are clean, friendly. Save yourself time and do not stop at this “run down gas station bathroom and rude employees” place.

The Iced Americano was so rich and tasty! They have so many sugar free flavor options as well! I also had the avocado toast with the gluten free bread🤤 Great atmosphere - awesome place to meet with friends or study. I was gonna take it to go and decided to stay and read a book, bc it was so cozy! And they do have outside seating as well!

I've been a fan of papas and beer for years. As a person with celiac disease and a vegan, there are.plenty of options and the spicy paloma drink is tasty!! A few miles from home, gets a monthly visit.

We discovered this absolutely wonderful restaurant yesterday and now it will be our go to when we visit Spartanburg. The food was amazing, fresh and did not have the typical salty, greasy, wet tastes associated with some lower end Thai restaurants. All the dishes we ordered were so yummy. The Lake Fried Rice, Siam Salmon and fresh spring rolls were all SO good! The owners Lake and Joe are so passionate about their establishment. They took the time to educate us on their authentic Thai food, how it is prepared and what meals would work best for people with specific requirements such as being vegan or needing gluten free dishes. Being somewhat Thai food snobs, we very much appreciated the personal dining experience that they brought to us. Thank you Lake and Joe!

Christopher Edwards

This is THE go to place for tacos and burritos! Barria tacos were awesome, and my wife's gluten friendly bowl was fantastic!!!

Molly Duesterhaus

They now offer gluten free bread, yes I did enjoy an avacado toast!

Jane Lindberg

Loved it! Fun atmosphere, close to accessible parking, very dog friendly. Had to ask for gluten free options, but the cashier knew what was gluten free on the menu off the top of her head!

Monika Woods

Great food. I had the nachos. We also had deviled eggs. They were good as grandma's. The servers were super nice and helpful. They had gluten free options and did not look at me odd when I asked. The food is so good it smells good outside.
