Top 32 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Galveston

Brent Bolin

Always our favorite stop when on the island. They offer gluten-free food so this makes my wife happy.

Fantastic! I chose this spot because we were feeding a vegetarian and someone gluten free. We had read that there were accomodations for these diets. They did not disappoint! We got a vegetarian (tofu) panini–that was some of the best tasting smoky-flavored tofu I've had–and a gluten free bread panini–really solid gf bread. We were also brought appetizers (bread and a sun-dired tomato dip) which accomodated both of the needs. Delicious. Highly recommend, especially in a city like Galveston where the predominant theme is meat and seafood.

Mario’s Seawall has a great atmosphere and delicious food, but unfortunately, my experience as a celiac girlie wasn’t the best. While they do offer gluten-free options, I ended up getting glutened, which was really disappointing. The flavors were amazing, and I wish I could confidently return, but if you have celiac or a severe gluten intolerance, I’d recommend being extra cautious and double-checking with the staff.

The gluten free pizza here was amazing!! I've been to a different Russo's and this place just did it better. Also got a salad and a (regular) pizza by the slice that we asked to have sliced in half.

I ordered the shrimp burger and it was fabulous. My sister who is celiac and allergic to fish was with me. She ordered a simple burger patty, but as they make sure the grill was clean. They must’ve done just that because she enjoyed every bite and had no flareups. Really enjoyed this restaurant and we’ll go back to try something new next time.

John Collins

Great restaurant! Fish was caught that day and the preparation was fantastic. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife is allergic to gluten and they took it very seriously. Can’t wait to go back.

Sam dalal

Great Italian food with gluten free pasta and gluten free pizza! Crisana was a great waitress!

Maria Jose Rojas Castro (majoespiritual)

Was very good food. Has a Gluten free pasta option and sauce, for me. Lasagna was beautiful for my husband. Atmosphere was wonderful. Service, clean and all great

Mark Shaw

The Fisherman's breakfast was great, despite some online comments, they have NO gluten free items.

Kailey Bittola

Super friendly, cute hole in the wall place. If you love Greek food, this is the place! Adam was our server, he was extremely accommodating and attentive. He recommended mostly what we got 😅 This place is great for family’s! Calamari and crab cakes were yummy! Lamb chops were delicious, kids loved the pizzas, gyro platter and gyro pita was perfect👌🏼 platter had SO much food on it. The rice was a fav. The meat lover pizza was perfectly made with gyro, mozzarella, feta, marinara, tomato, red onions 🤤 He talked us into the chocolate cake and OMGGGGGG 🤌🏼💋 Definitely check it out if your into little locally owned places! Gluten free options too!

Emma R

It has 3 stars because my kids loved it they loved their food and had a great time. The website stated lots of gluten-free options but there was one option and it was sub par at best could only eat half

Ian McLeod

Easy to book, initial service great. Asked about a gluten free bread option for a patty melt and it all started to fail from that point. Initial order ok, some alcohol, an appetiser for 2, and patty melts (one regular, one with gluten free bread). Patty melts never arrived after an hour and we asked and they re checked our initial order. Blamed the kitchen for being confused, but I think they forgot to put the orders through. They arrived 5 mins later. No swiss cheese, looking overdone. Taken away to sort and arrived later. Other cheese mix was used, non-gluten free patty melt meal had burnt patty and burnt bread and some odd cheese mix that had set like rubber. Complained again but past feeling hungry. Given them their due, we only paid for alcohol in the end. However, it was the worst meal I can recall in many years. Warning: make sure they fully understand what’s required for gluten free as you order. We won’t be visiting again… I’ve now altered my review (overall star rating) based on a discussion I’ve since had with the Gen Mgr, and I believe it was a one off issue, and he has already used it as the basis for training and I thank him for offering credit and moreso for reaching out to me.

The best pad Thai I have ever had! The whole family was happy with everything ordered! Will be going again. Gluten free options also

Kylee Andrade

There is a non handicap dark black car that ALWAYS parks in the one handicap spot next to the ramp where you can't even access it. Nobody has done anything about it for months, so assuming it is a worker. Makes it near impossible to get my wheelchair to the Papa John's. It's literally the only complaint I have about this place. ***There gluten free pizza is the best one yet and super safe as long as you click the clean cut option.

Stephanie Schaefer

Angel did an incredible job of answering all of my gluten allergy questions. He ensured that I felt safe with my meal and the service was wonderful! We truly enjoyed our experience and will be going back! There is no gluten free menu but most items are already gluten free. The chips are not gluten free but that was fine by me!

Patrick Gomes

Our waiter was knowledgeable about Gluten contamination, and generally very helpful. Food was good. So we're the cocktails. Very good value too!

Matt Lanier

Seafood was tasty. The non-seafood dishes left a little to be desired. They were very helpful in accommodating a gluten allergy.

Cheri Santanni

I have celiac disease and am always concerned with cross contamination and being exposed to gluten. I informed our waiter of this. The chef actually came out and accommodated my dietary needs and restrictions. The whole restaurant staff was friendly and understood my concerns. Best sashimi I’ve ever had in my life! Thank you for taking the time to care.

Catherine Anne Finney

The food,service and prices were good. Our, server Micah was wonderful. Very caring and accommodating to all our meal needs. I'm Gluten free, my meal came gluten free. Loved the nice visit we had with Micah. Truly, he cares about who he serves. Thank you Micah!

Maureen Sullivan

Great for beach side casual food and drinks. Staff very attentive and helpful. Made my gluten-free lunch enjoyable and were careful about cross contamination.

Danial Carlson

This is a great spot to cool off and have a great meal. Chef Eric is one of Galveston' best! The burgers are excellent, and they gladly accommodate with gluten free options. Pricey? Yup. Spend the money. You only live once.

Allen Worcester

Tasty, but expensive and a lack of gluten free options. Parking costs $15

Ariana Postlethwait

Great chai & drip coffee. Wonderful pastries & gluten free baked goods as well. Cute outside patio. Owner is lovely. Come support her!

Julissa Garcia

I liked the atmosphere of being at someone's house, especially with the relaxed way of ordering and sitting yourself, but the food was just okay. There were not very many gluten free options.

Donna Knight

Great service and gluten-free options!

Hannah Combs

Yummy and fresh smoothie bowls. They have several vegan options and gluten-free granola. Their patio is also dog-friendly 🐶

Riley Mattern

Incredible service, top-notch fresh seafood & attentive staff. Eric seated our party of NINETEEN without a reservation or any available support runners and gave us the best service we've had on the island this weekend. Knowledgeable of Gluten Free options and was very easy to work with. Worth every penny, and better fish quality than other place for the price.

V Starr

Tried this place based upon other reviews. This is a local restaurant, not a chain. The place isn't fancy but the food is genuine and fresh. Great BBQ! Got take-out twice while in Galveston for a week. They were also very willing to answer my questions concerning ingredients (I need gluten-free and dairy-free.) Their coleslaw, meat, BBQ sauce, and baked beans were flavorful and met the dietary restrictions. Reasonably priced, too.
