Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Texas

Leo Moreno

A long-time favourite establishment of mine, and one of the only places I enjoyed burgers from, even before my diagnosis.

While staying at the Hyatt, I found this place online for a friend with gluten allergies. There were many doubts and some in our group wanted to turn back as we walked there. Man were we happy we didn't listen to the naysayers! This place was awesome! The outside doesn't look great but the inside is very quaint. The staff were very nice and the food was simply amazing. Most of the group went back the following day.

Really good food, decent price and atmosphere. Gluten free. The thoughtfully crafted gluten-free offerings, such as the French toast and well executed smashed potatoes, are a testament to the kitchen’s attention to detail. I really like the complimentary tap water scene they have on the patio

This was my first time visiting the restaurant. I was in town for a wedding and googled. Having celiac and egg allergy it not always easy to find a good place with good options, but I was amazed by the food here. I went back a couple time's before leaving. This is going to be my to go spot always when in SA. Staff were great, atmosphere is very cute and friendly and did I mention the food ....it was AMAZING, so delicious, great variety , it made me like a normal person enjoying food actual regular food and not having to worry about getting sick!!! A definite win!!!

We have recently started frequenting In N Out, and have enjoyed them a lot! They don't have a lot of menu options, but they excel at the items they offer. Pricing is affordable in today's age. They offer bunless burgers, which is amazing for people with gluten intolerance, or those looking to reduce carb intake.

Dannie Morris

We came here to celebrate our son's 23rd birthday as well as his upcoming graduation from The Culinary Institute of America, and it was well worth every cent! We did the tasting menu and shared everything family style. The food is dairy and gluten free as well as plant-forward. That said, the braised shirt ribs did not disappoint. We left full and happy. If you're dining with someone who doesn't like vegetables, bring them here to change their mind.

Loren Stock

Great with the order once we requested allergy protocols for gluten-free food handling for a celiac kid; even traded out a shake when it was ordered with cookies and cream and we forgot about GF sensitivity momentarily. Great service!

Brandy Iskin

What a treat to have vegetarian and gluten free! The food was delicious! And the agua fresca was sweet and refreshing. There were so many yummy sounding choices it was hard to pick, I’ll have to come back.

Rose Punzel

The food was delicious, I was able to have chicken fried steak and gravy gluten free! The waiter was very knowledgeable about their gluten free options as well as gluten allergy/ Celiac. There is not a separate gluten free menu however almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free and they have a separate prep area/ fryer. My only issue was it was kinda expensive, very yummy though!

Dawn Revell

We absolutely love this restaurant and eat there at least once a month. One of the big draws from me ore. Originally, choosing this restaurant was the delicious gluten-free menu. Any authentic food.

Rosie N

Could not rate The Well higher. Amazing dining experience, our waiter was beyond five stars. Food was exceptional, atmosphere magic. A coeliacs dream with everything gluten free & consciously sourced. We will be back🙌🏼

Adam Pyle

Three of us had a late lunch here today and the food was fantastic. One of our party members has celiac so the menu being almost completely gluten free without having to ask for substitutions was why we gave it a try. We tried the mozzarella sticks, fish and chips, banger and mash and finally the sticky toffee pudding cake. Everything came out very hot and delicious with generous portions even from the lunch menu. Service was great as well. She knew the dish’s ingredient information and was very kind and attentive.

Emily Colgan

In town for a conference and needed a place with gluten free options. Sherry, or server, right away asked if we had any allergies she needed to be aware of. I told her I had celiacs. She informed the kitchen and Orlando can it and discussed with me while the have gluten free dough and will do their absolute best not to cross contaminate he could not 100% guarantee it. I very much appreciated his honestly and told him I would give it a shot. I preferred the Vera Margerita pizza. It was the absolute BEST pizza I have had in a really long time. I am full, happy and had no reaction. My husband had the duck pappradell pasta and loved it. Thank you guys for a wonderful tasty evening and the thunderstorm did make for a great show!

Stephanie Garza

Hadn't been here in years but it was just as delicious as ever! Brought my 17yo son for the first time but it won't be his last I'm sure. He loved it! Also great gluten-free pizza and wings! I have a gluten intolerance and I had no issues here. I definitely recommend 👌

Sundeep Podila

Gluten free kitchen with amazing food and service! A bit pricey but the crab and branzino were worth it.

Jerome James

Server Mary was exceptional! Very kind and informative regarding menu items. One of the individual’s in our party had a gluten allergy. Food was great and atmosphere was good. Was hoping to sit outside but wasn’t able during this experience, but Mary made up for it!!!!

So there I was, minding my own business, headed toward a totally different restaurant when—bam!—Miss Chickpeas Cafetel on Callaghan Road in San Antonio popped up like a delightful little plot twist in my lunch plans. The name alone caught my eye, and I figured, hey, why not shake things up? The moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, which already made this detour feel like a good decision. The vibe? Super cute, cozy, and definitely a place with regulars (always a good sign). And while I’ll be honest—I was a little skeptical about vegan food (I mean, can it really compete with the meaty classics?)—that hesitation melted the second I laid eyes on their baked goods case. Vegan and gluten-friendly treats that looked like they just stepped off a dessert runway? Yes, please. Before I even touched a menu, I was already halfway sold. I chatted with the friendly staff, and one of them enthusiastically recommended the Breakfast Sammy. Throwing caution—and my meat-loving instincts—to the wind, I ordered it along with a German chocolate cupcake that was practically whispering sweet nothings from the dessert case. When the food came out, it looked great. The vegan bacon threw me for a second—it definitely looked different—but once I took a bite, I was pleasantly surprised. Not your traditional bacon texture, but flavorful and satisfying in its own right. The ciabatta roll was soft with just the right amount of chew, and the whole sandwich worked really well together. What made the experience even better? The staff came to check on me, genuinely interested in how I was enjoying my first dive into their menu. We chatted a bit, and they let me know their baked goods come from their local bakery right here in San Antonio. Major bonus points for supporting local. All in all, Miss Chickpeas Cafetel was a refreshing, feel-good surprise. It’s a great lighter option when you want something satisfying but not heavy. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their breakfast offerings—and probably sneak in another cupcake (or two). If you’ve ever been curious about vegan food but hesitant to try, let Miss Chickpeas be your gateway. It was mine—and I'm glad I took the chance.

Great burger place, many options. Onion rings quite popular, also pretzel bites. All you can eat sides. Our server offered us fries up front- instead of appetizer. Burgers are customizable and all ingredients delish. Their campfire sauce is amazing! Competent friendly staff check on you without hovering. Kid friendly and I understand quite gluten friendly as well. Full bar. Loyalty program. Military discount.

Mason Hines

This bakery makes me so happy. I can eat everything on their menu, and I always stock up on bread when I can swing by. (Best tasting gluten free bread I've found locally.) Always excited to try their rotating aura cupcakes for a nice twist, but my favs are the strawberry abyss and their swiss rolls. We've ordered a cake from them, and they did a wonderful job. (We'll likely order again.) Go stuff your face and smash the pastriarchy in one fell swoop. You won't regret it.

Jr Padilla

Good for people with celiac disease, awesome beef fajitas and dessert, never have got sick

R K

Drove the 3 hours to Dallas just to come here and it did not disappoint! Incredible gluten free foods and those seem so hard to find these days. Absolutely delicious and everyone was so nice! I’m 100% going to come back!

Kailee Browning

The best cafe for anyone with anyone with allergies or diet restrictions. Gluten free options galore along with vegan butter and cheese! The best breakfast spot during a trip in Austin. The. One was eclectic and the staff were all very friendly.

Christina Thornburg

Great food, good with gluten and dairy allergies. Did get a little loud but overall would stop back if we are every in Austin again.

Lizelle Villapando

Gluten Free waffles and golden tofu weekend brunch is incredible and so unique! Love everything I've tried. Over the years the service has been up and down, but the food is sooo good!!!

Kimberly Hughes

An Austin must-dine restaurant, especially if you're into healthy eating. The food ingredients come from local Austin farms, and the menu changes seasonally. Plan to share bites and experience odd and tasty flavor combinations. Even cooler is that they are included in the goodfoodfighter.com top 15 Austin restaurants and have a gluten-free menu. Our experience, starting with the valet, hosts, and server(s) was outstanding! See ya'll again soon.

Sam Noyce

Awesome local Gluten Free and Vegan treats!

Marissa Escobedo

Phyllis Bell

Great food, ample servings many gluten free options including dessert

Stephanie Wong

Oustanding help from Devon and twin, espy regarding GF gluten-free food sensitivities

Marie Loreto

I ordered a hibiscus margarita and cheese sticks with pepperoni, bacon and jalapeños with a side of marinara and ranch. I come here often and Jamie has been very sweet and attentive even during a chaotic rush. She makes sure all her tables are doing well and answers any questions about the menu. She offers gluten free pizza and desserts which are really good! Recommended trying their hubcaps, satisfies the sweet craving! Thanks for the great service Jamie! ☺️

Erika

A must-eat place while in Austin. We shockingly were able to walk in without reservations on a Thursday night and were seated outside immediately. Our server was the BEST and even left us with a to-go container of our favorite gluten free crackers. The menu is huge and I have no doubt everything is delicious. Our favorite was the short rib hummus (with the GF crackers)!!

Matt Nguyen

The staff is amazing here! It was our first time with our newly adopted pup and they were very welcoming and accommodating. We had the match latte which was the best one I’ve had and the hot chicken sandwich that was freakin amazing and gluten free! We’ll definitely eat here again the next time we’re in Houston.

Rob Higareda

I might be slightly obsessed with this place. The food is delicious their margaritas are the best in town. Highly recommend checking out this place ( make a reservation on OpenTable though) Queso is top notch and if you’re gluten intolerant they have options !

Elena Delgado

Via 313 is my favorite pizza in Austin. You can never go wrong with the Detroit style pizza, the Detroiter is my go-to because of the double pepperoni. They also make really good meatballs and have an excellent gluten-free crust. Check out their Happy Hour!

Violet Smith

The gluten-free pizza is delicious. The crust is perfect.

Cathleen

They know their way around a green bean!! Tons of gluten free options, super delicious. My faves are the green beans and sticky rice

Thomas Grover

Great recommendations and amazing food, really good for those needing to eaten gluten free as well!!

Chris Williams

Gluten free options that are really good! Everything we have had is really good.

Jess

Y’all. We just found the most amazing Italian restaurant in Dallas—and nearly everything can be made gluten-free! 😭🍝 We were out on a date night and happened to drive past @kennysitaliankitchen—I had it on my list because I’d heard they had gluten-free options. So glad we stopped! Our waitress told us that almost the entire menu can be made gluten-free—and it’s celiac-safe, prepped in a separate part of the kitchen. That alone made my night! Even better? They had vegetarian options too. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, and let me tell you… it was next-level good. Perfectly crunchy (not soggy like it usually is), with a rich, flavorful sauce. You can literally see the crispy texture in the dish—absolutely beautiful and delicious. And yes—they have gluten-free bread! Soft, warm, fluffy little pillows of joy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat at Italian restaurants watching everyone else eat bread while I sip water. Not this time. 🥹 The vibe? Classic and cozy—checkered tablecloths, soft candlelight, family photos on the walls, and Italian music floating through the air. Total old-school charm. They can also make regular (non-GF) versions of dishes, so everyone in your group will be happy. Honestly, everything was incredible. This place is an absolute gem, and I already know I’ll be back very soon!

Lisa Singh

Love this bakery! Stopped by on a recent visit to Houston. The red lentil salad is delicious, so are the gluten free breads like the multigrain seeded.

Victor A

I’m the most complicated individual in terms of how stringent I am with food. I look into quality ingredients, seed oil free, halal, sugar free, soy free, gluten free, grass fed butter etc & Huma & Fabian understood my language & concerns & we’re able to accommodate my every request 100%. This shall be my go to spot for late lunch or dinner. Restaurant that promote quality down to the ingredients is rare.

Snehapriya V

What An amazing experience. Everything on their menu is freshly made, no overnight veggies all vegan and gluten free! The village is filled with trees and is a cozy vibe!

Sabrina Matouk

I loved that they got gluten free food

Tanja H.

Very nice and friendly place. A paradise for celiacs! My daughter had a chocolate donut and she loved it

Tommy Lynch

Pet friendly We ate in the little shaded alcove. Every aspect of our breakfast was picture perfect and Erica's smile was sunshine. We frquent it for breakfast. Good gluten free options.

Dominic McFarland

An absolute must visit if you have allergies! Especially gluten free.

Skyler Vasquez

Finally! Gluten free pancakes that are perfect! I was so happy with my breakfast. I got the gf pancakes, fruit, and bacon. All were excellent. We went on a weekday morning and there was no wait. The staff were super sweet and the restaurant was clean. I’ll be back soon!

Disappointing Experience Despite High Hopes As someone with a gluten intolerance, I was genuinely excited to try Grapevine Café due to their extensive gluten-free menu. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations, and we won’t be returning. We arrived early on a Sunday (around 7:15 a.m.) when the restaurant was less than half full, so we expected prompt service. Our server, who never introduced herself, took our drink order (hot tea, smoothie, Diet Coke), which took about 10 minutes to arrive. After placing our food order, we waited another 25 minutes for our meals. The food itself was underwhelming—my potatoes were cold and completely unseasoned. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to address it with our server, as she never returned to check on us. Dirty dishes remained on our table, and I had to go to the host stand to request the check since our server had vanished entirely. With so many great breakfast options in town, I recommend exploring those instead. Grapevine Café might look promising, but the poor service and lackluster food made for a truly disappointing visit.

Angela Love Zaranka

Delicious, nutritious and fresh food. Familiar with gluten free diet and nice options (gf crepes, bread, etc.) Nice choice of teas and coffee. Comfortable seating.
