Top 31 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Knoxville

My family and I just move to Tennessee from Florida and it was hard for us to find a 100 percent dedicated gluten free bakery until we found this gem. The bakes good were amazing and my wife had a tuna salad panini she devoured in seconds lol, the atmosphere was great and customer service amazing.

Mgr called me ( after I placed a mobile order via their app) to inquire about gluten allergy cause 1 item I ordered was The Beast on a GF bun. He wanted to inform me that their black bean burger isn’t GF because it contains wheat. Kudos for paying attention & taking the time to call me regarding this matter. Mooyah is 1 of our favorite places for takeout fast food burgers & fries. I ❤️ their black bean burger!

So good! I found this Place mentioned In a post in “gluten free in Knoxville” Facebook group and had to make a visit. One of the best gluten free buns I’ve had. The fries were yummy as well and fried in a much better oil than most place. Owner was super kind and a great guy! I will definitely be back!

Brooke Weinert

Love me a crepe when I can get it gluten-free! Great atmosphere and coffee beverages too.

Elliot Tally

This is the perfect pizza + salad restaurant. Everything is fresh, much of it is locally sourced, and the pizzas are crispy and delicious. Highly recommended for a casual, mostly healthy meal with something for everyone (including many gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options!)

Jennifer Yin

Food was great and very accommodating to my gluten intolerance. It was very delicious, the Crispy spicy changs chicken is so good!! Our server was very attentive and super helpful. Thank you for a good V-day dinner!

I have a gluten allergy, telling workers I have a gluten allergy to this day makes me nervous. I'm always scared they will be super annoyed, and who could blame them really? But at blaze they are always so chill about it. They have never made me feel like they are annoyed and they always are super kind about it. That means alot for me, it takes a huge part of the stress of eating out with a gluten allergy away. I love Blaze for this and it works for my whole family so I never have to feel like I'm dragging everyone somewhere they don't wanna go to accommodate me. LOVE BLAZE 4 LYFE🫶🏼🧡

Dylan Emmett

The food was absolutely amazing. I have celiac and they had a lot of gluten free options. My wife (who gets to eat actual food with gluten) also loved her meal. Service was amazing and they were all so kind to us and our little baby. We will definitely be coming back.

Jack Phillips

Great service, good food, excellent dietary care. They have many gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian alterations they can make to your meal. We enjoyed our meal outside and it was so nice under the sun shade. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. This is a must if you are near by.

AJ Dominick

I have been twice now and both times I have enjoyed the Ring of Fire on a gluten free bun. I think the bun was even better this last time, don't know if they changed bakeries but I could have eaten the bun by itself! I love the spice of the this burger and it's not too much going on that you can't taste all the elements.

Benjamin Peterson

I ordered a burger and a Reuben to go. I put in the notes. Ruben is to have gluten-free bun. I double checked before the order was placed. My daughter went in to pick it up and the bun was not gluten-free. She politely asked for that to get changed out, the very large lady with pink hair was extremely rude and cleared at her the whole time. It would’ve been way easier for her to just change out the bun and say have a great evening but instead she went Out of her way to make my daughter feel bad. This is unacceptable. We have been to Aubrey’s many times and I’ve always had amazing service. So this review is only reflection of one employee in particular as a whole. Aubrey’s has always been great.

Eduardo Padron

Fast and delicious. Good service. Standard dining area. Tasty burgers. Gluten free burger buns available.

Andrew McKelroy

Wait staff made sure to ask if we had any allergies and communicated with the chef!

Lauren Van Beek

Tacos are delicious and our server Ary was extremely helpful! They always handle my gluten allergy well.

The Rose

This is my favorite place to eat vegan and gluten free!

Landon Rayfield

This is a family favorite when family is in town from Florida with gluten allergies

Donald Wassenaar

Never been here beforevnow 2 Fridays in a row We met Adam the greeter server bartender He does it all He suggested several items I had appetizers 3 meatballs on a individual stick with sauce Sis had gluten free pizza Yummy love Mellow Mushroom 🍄 and Andrew conversation EXCELLENT

I ordered gluten free pizza to go, and it was very undercooked. The gluten free pizzas are also baked with all the others, which defeats the purpose for those with allergies. The restaurant was also very dirty. One restroom was out of order, and the other was absolutely filthy. I would not order from here again due to cleanliness issues and poor food quality.

Hillary Nelson

Cookies were good but not great. What’s best about this is that their GF items are fully separate so I felt comfortable (and had no reaction) as a celiac. I’d say the convince and safety factors are biggest drivers here.

Annette Coleman

Excellent food! Large portions. And, most importantly for me, gluten-free options that are celiac safe and delicious.

Katelyn Leuck

Our service Katelyn was amazing. Knowledgeable about cross contamination for someone with a gluten allergy.

Susanne Forst

I am gluten free and dairy free and ordered a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese, mushrooms, spinach and pepperoni. It was delicious!

Sidney Geldmeyer

Great vibe, and better food! Kitchen staff was knowledgeable about gluten sensitivity and came out to correct our order out of extra caution to avoid a food that had gluten in it!

Mark Garland

Nice place. Decent gluten-free options.

Jammie Davis

Great food!!!! Love the food and the menu!! This place is a treat for a gluten free person!!! They have so many great options. I go every time I can!!

Trina Clifton

Beautiful restaurant, and decent service. My companions enjoyed their meals, but we chose this restaurant because it offered gluten free options that I require. My gluten free entree was disappointing; in fact, I ate only one bite. It was just not edible in my opinion. The gluten free pasta used was extremely sub par. My advice would be to look into another source for this item. Normally a server would notice when a patron does not eat a meal, but our server whisked away my basically untouched plate without inquiring. I left the restaurant hungry and $40 to the less.

Mary R

Gluten free pizza was delicious! Even my friends who can eat gluten liked it. My husband loved the beer selection. They do have some gluten free options for drinks as well.

Jodi Massengill

The gluten free options are not readily identifiable. They give you a list of things “with” gluten, so you navigate the menu and avoid anything containing those items. I wanted nachos, with no crispy onions. Every other ingredient was ok according to my list. The waitress was not knowledgeable. I asked her to ask the kitchen. They said there were too many gluten containing ingredients, but did not specify what they were. Very disappointed. I was told they have a lot of gluten free “sides”. I didn’t come for the sides. 👎🏻 I ended up not getting anything.

Margaret Cruz

I have Celiac disease so I always order from the Gluten Free menu. I also inform my server, as well. I've come to Bonefish Grill at this location often. This time I ordered the Mahi Mahi and shrimp with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I got very sick. In the bathroom all night and the next day. I guess I won't be returning to this restaurant. Very disappointed.

Prof Sehorn

Very celiac friendly. The sauces are gluten free. The gluten free bun was the best I have ever had. It didn’t break apart! The fries are cooked in a separate fryer. The best burger I have had in years.

Melissa Pulley

This chickfila location is convient in West Knox. There are a lot of parking spaces for mobile orders/carry out, but it keep in mind that it could be faster to pick up your order inside. Love their gluten free buns and grilled chicken sandwiches! I also frequently order their kale salad!

Susan W

Y’all. Best bagels in town, hands down. Try the Farmhouse frittata sandwich or the lox bagel. It’s a little pricey but worth the money, imo. I’m excited to try just about everything in the menu. Allergy friendly, they have substitutes for gluten and dairy sensitive folks. Give it a try!

christine neumayer

Parkside has some good gluten free options. No dedicated fryer but they do have a GF menu. I had the salmon with dill sauce, cheddar mashed potatoes and green beans. No reactions! :) (Celiac)

Mika Stockwell

Food was absolutely fantastic! AND pretty much everything was Gluten Free! They just stole 100% of my business from Salsaritas and Chipotle for sure! Best food!

Alpha Boötis

A step above Chipotle. Get more, pay less. Good seating arrangement. Line out the door likely, I suspect weekend, sports event and during lunchtimes. Good quality vegan meal also if on a road trip coming through, plus gluten free is a bonus.

Tammie Ball

Having Celiac disease and going out to eat is not always an easy task. I enjoyed a burger and brew or drink, as advertised on Monday's. Cheddar burger with all of the dressing. I had the baked potato as my side item. Sweet tea with a lemon to drink. I really enjoyed my burger. It was hot and fresh.

Wil Davenport

Great gluten free options.

Michelle von Geis

Delicious and fresh Thai food! This restaurant is a gem! There are plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options. The staff was very kind and attentive.

Scott Schwahn

Always good. Friendly for gluten free needs.

Hannah Whited

SO YUMMY!! I love that you can get traditional breakfast or something fun and different. Grits are AMAZING! Savannah was our server and she was so kind. I am gluten free/dairy free so she showed me what options I could have. I ended up having Jakes Favorite Scramble, swapped the hashbrowns for grits and removed the cheese on top. Gluten free toast with butter and jelly. SO GOOD! My husband and I will be back :)

Emily Eddy

I love this place. And maybe my review will change next time I visit. The cashier rolled her eyes when my aunt who has celiac asked about menu items. I had told her how friendly this place was. Oops. Then it just seemed like no one was happy that day. Food was okay. Off day I guess. I will go back because I know it's a good place to eat.

Papa Bear

Walked in with my little one to eat and had to wait to be seated as no one was up front, the employees were gathered around the post chatting and laughing it up. When someone finally decided to break away and find us a table they found out at that exact moment that they were out of silverware. Finally got seated and ready to order to be told they were out of biscuits. Place both orders and then they come back after a time to say they are out of the gluten free almond cakes and that they could give me regular ones instead, which defeats the entire purpose of being allergic to gluten. Overall terrible experience.

Jamie Smith

Amazing wings and gluten free thin crust is excellent. Service was too notch , group of 35!!

Phiro NoSurvivors

Same order as my FIRST TIME experience. Bad first. Then good.... -The bad👎- 1️⃣ The 2 coffee cups on my table were still dirty. One still had lip stick on it🤢. The waitress grabs the other table coffee cups and they were dirty too. I finally just wiped one coffee cup out with my hands and poured coffee in it. Because I felt bad for the young waitress watching me find these things in absolute horror 😂. I could see shortly after they huddled around all the coffee cups and wiped them down. 😑... Should of been wiped down and re-washed..... The white plate that was decorativly brown speckled kind of threw me off since my coffee cups were dirty.🤢. I pushed through it though. 2️⃣Price was a bit steep for me but we did pick gluten-free items and they tend to be slightly more expensive. I don't like to eat out much (something about never knowing if your dishes will be clean when you eat out 🫣) so I don't have a solid variety of places to compare to.... but yes I could of ate cheaper somewhere else for sure so price seemed a bit steep to me. Kids plate especially -The good👍- 1️⃣Food was delicious! I'm a French toast snob and it was delicious... (eating off that brown speculated plates was a struggle 😅) 2️⃣Loved having my own insulated coffee pitcher on the table. Ready to pour. 3️⃣Overall the place appeared clean (except them coffee cups) 4️⃣Gluten-free options! Love the inclusive cooking options for people struggling with their health.

I love frequenting this restaurant. I've enjoyed many different entrée options and they were all gluten free. They accommodate my requests and specialty orders and they have never made a mistake! They deserve a shout out!

A friend and I met for lunch today at 71 South, a restaurant located in a former chapel. The dining area is open and charming with lights and greenery hanging from the ceiling, creating a warm and pleasant environment. There was a cool bar in what used to be the alter area but we were seated by one of the large windows along the side, giving us plenty of room and a place to enjoy the sunlight. We split Brussels fried sprouts topped with bacon, goat cheese and a balsamic dressing—yum! Although there were many good entrees to choose from, the buffalo (chicken) salad I chose was delicious. Wanting something gluten free, my friend opted for the chicken chili, which also proved to be tasty and good. Portions were generous. The service was quick and excellent — the server anticipated our needs and replenished our iced tea without waiting to be asked — a small thing but very much noticed appreciated. Highly recommend if you want good food, lots of choices, friendly, open and un-rushed service. We’ll be back soon!

My wife and I had the small orders of steak stroganoff and shared an appetizer of the pot stickers. The food was of good quality. The service was respectful and fastidious. They also have a bunch of different gluten free noodles to switch out for their entrees. The restaurant has seen some use. Ripped cushions and markings, but still clean in its state. The music play list was a little awkward for the restaurant, though we loved it....it sounded like someone was playing their playlist of late 90s and early 2000s rock kits by bands like audioslave and others. Just didn't fit the mood of sitting down at a restaurant....more like my dorm room and eating pad Thai takeout....still noodles linking it together I guess.

I cannot say enough great things about First Watch in Fountain City! I’ll start will the fact that they have amazingly friendly and attentive staff here, they are always so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable on the menu etc! The food is always so made to order and fresh, I love that they throw in new seasonal items to try every once in awhile as well! Their specialty drinks are also something to check out! Despite how busy they get, they keep a nice flow of customers going where it’s not an overwhelming wait and it’s always super clean here. I love that they have gluten free and vegetarian options as well! Try one of the Benny’s on GF toast! I highly recommend you check them out! 😎

Renee Betz

We love Bella Roma Pizza! They have the best Gluten Free Cauliflower Crust in Knoxville. I get the GF Margarita and my family gets hand tossed thin crust with sausage and pepperoni. We are from NY and on a constant persuit to find good pizza. Bella Roma is our favorite! Also, the owners Solmon and Yuseff are very friendly, which makes us love this place even more.

Mariah Wilson

I adored this place! It’s a small, cute little restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. My friend and I sat at the bar. The bartender was so friendly, a joy to talk to, and the service he provided was great. My friend has celiac and he went above and beyond to make sure his allergy was accommodated. The food was phenomenal! We shared the bolognese and you couldn’t even tell it was gluten free pasta. The sauce was incredible. The only way I can describe it is if you had a little old Italian grandma that was making food for the whole family on Sunday. Highly recommend giving this place a try
