Top 50 Gluten-Free Places with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Houston

Bellagreen is an absolute gem, especially if you have dietary restrictions. As someone with celiac, EoE, and MCAS, eating out can feel like a gamble—but Bellagreen makes it so much easier. Their gluten-free menu is extensive, clearly labeled, and the staff is always patient and knowledgeable about allergens. The food is fresh, flavorful, and never feels like a compromise. I’m a big fan of their gluten-free pastas and bowls—the ingredients taste high quality, the portions are generous, and I leave feeling good every time. It’s rare to find a place that balances flavor, health-conscious options, and safety this well. Whether you’re managing food sensitivities or just want a nourishing meal in a beautiful setting, Bellagreen always delivers.

Wonderful food, seed oil free and gluten free friendly! Some of the best food I’ve ever had. The service is so excellent and the staff is so friendly and genuinely care!! Ask for Adriana - she’s the best!!

Natalie Airey

Soo good! We buy our bread here instead of in the stores now

Marcus Arceneaux

I ordered through Uber Eats. The food quality was FANTASTIC. Love the gluten-free options. I even appreciate the containers the food came in. I'll order more often. Thank you for QUALITY.

Michealla

Gluten and dairy free pretty much everything. I got a ton of cookies and some coconut macaroons. They were delicious. I would have tried a chocolate taco ice cream if I were at home and had access to a freezer!

Bellagreen is one of my go-to spots as a celiac girlie! Their commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients and clearly labeled gluten-free options makes dining out so much easier. But let’s talk about the real star—the sweet potato fries! Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. It’s rare to find safe gluten-free fries, and these are next level! The staff is also super accommodating and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for safe and delicious gluten-free eats!

Incredible Gluten-Free fried chicken, and great wines

Juliana Camargo

Our server Riley was such a delight! He took care of us and made sure we had warm teas on this extremely cold night! Our family had appetizers, main dishes and dessert all Gluten Free. Highly recommend coming here - we will certainly be back! Try the brussel sprouts, spicy panang curry, lasagna and flourless chocolate cake!

Peggy Braddock

They have gluten free options which taste great. Having those options makes this my favorite place!

Jenna

As someone with celiac disease, finding safe and delicious gluten-free options can be a challenge, but Pondicheri absolutely delivers! Their menu has so many naturally gluten-free dishes, and the staff is knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions. It’s such a relief to enjoy incredible Indian-inspired food without worrying about cross-contamination. Everything I’ve tried has been packed with flavor, fresh, and so thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is also warm and inviting, making it a great spot for anything from a casual lunch to a special night out. If you’re gluten-free (or just love amazing food), this place is a must-visit!

Great all around. I have celiac and when I told them, they made sure to cook everything very safely without cross contamination. Thank you! Will be back!

Sarah Alderman

My Gluten free people!!! Run, dont walk. rC's has absolutely blown me away with their GF options. I've always enjoyed their GF pizza, and often buy dough from them for our pizza oven- always amazing. They now have a thick crust Sicilian style that is everything you could ask for. Crispy, fluffy, crispy cheesy side - think pan pizza or deep dish. It AMAZING. They use the same base for bread sticks, cheesy garlic bread, and their spinach artichoke dip. All GF. They have an entire menu for it!!! Even Pasta! If you haven't been in a while, or have never tried RC's, they need to be on your GF safe list. Go treat yourself!!

Jim Connelly

ISO real GF food for my celiac/ Chrons/EPI spouse. Made a reservation sight unseen because I saw GF crab cakes on the menu. Find out most of the menu (including dessert) is GF! The crab cakes were excellent! The GF cheese cake had a crust! And was awesome! I am not in need of GF food. I ate all of this as well. Would absolutely recommend to all. The prices are a bit high, but I would pay that every time to get my spouse high quality real food like this. Will definitely come here every time I am in Houston.

Monica Leitzel

This was a pretty neat place. My husband and I both enjoyed our food. They were able to accommodate my food sensitivities. The bee sting pancakes which are seasonal were really good. Was able to get them in gluten free. Their chicken sausage was good as well. My husband tried the pineapple upside down pancakes (not gluten free) and loved them. Looking forward to dining in again and trying other options

Erica Guerra

Nice breakfast spot with tasty options for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac. I ordered the pancake flight: gluten free, And it was some of the fluffiest and most amazing pancakes ever! Highly recommend the cinnamon roll and the strawberry cream one, it was an amazing experience over all.

Samantha

Really great burger joint, quite a few gluten free options on birger choices with very good shakes. All around I am very satisfied with our experience. I would highly recommend!

One of the best gluten free buns I’ve ever had. Service was nice and made sure the rest of the burger ingredients were gluten free as well.

Love this place. So many gluten free options, the food is good quality and the prices are really reasonable. The gluten free mango cheesecake is amazing! Not cloyingly sweet.

Tonight we had our church volunteer appreciation dinner at Carrabba’s. What an awesome night! The restaurant looks stunning, even more so than usual with all the holiday decorations. I have been coming here for many years, and it is always beautiful and an amazing experience. Tonight Ishmael and Darwin and the support staff were wonderful. I never had to ask for my glass to be refilled, or my plate to be taken. No small task with 25 people in the room for dinner. Being a former server it always is a breath of fresh air to receive excellent service, especially in this day and age of lackluster experiences at most restaurants after 2020. Every modification I asked for was kindly given to me, which I really appreciated because of being gluten free but still wanting the chicken Marsala. They had a smile on their face after any request that was made by anyone at the table, and I felt like family as I sat there. It was absolutely delicious! The chicken Marsala here is probably the best I’ve ever had. I ate the chicken Marsala at one of the franchises of Carraba’s at the airport in Atlanta in October and it was not even close. It didn’t even compare to how delicious the food is here st the Original. The servers even knew exactly when to close the doors so that we could have some quiet while we ate, visited, played a game, and went around the room to talk about the past year and our grateful hearts for our church family and our pastors. Although I do my best to give compliments instead of complaints, I don’t always succeed in remembering to do it. However, I had to post a review now while I was thinking about it so you would know how happy the whole group was with the meal and the service. Thanks for always being consistently great, guys!

Ruth Brown

Great gluten free options and it is delicious. The prices are a little high and the sides and drinks are on the small side. I paid almost $3 for a bottle of Diet Coke to find out it was a mini one.

Lewis James Gearing

Great food. All meats GF.

Blake Boyter

Best burger hands down. I recommend the smash burger with tots. Good local beer selection too! I’ve also tried it on their gluten free bun and have to say they have some of the best gluten free bread I’ve had.

This restaurant deserves a Michelin Star ⭐️ It does NOT disappoint. From the ambience, to the service, to the food…everything was absolutely perfect 😍 vegan/gluten free options and dessert! Excellent mocktail..favorite restaurant at this point. Must try!!

yajaira escobedo

Food is good but pretty loud inside to have a conversation however we went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy. I like the gluten free options for the pancakes.

Lara Sowell

We are in this restaurant this afternoon for lunch. I eat gluten free at my doctor’s direction. I ordered brisket and eggs. The brisket was served over grits and my husband ordered the gluten free pancakes for us to try. Everything was so delicious! Although next time I would cut the coconut from the pancakes. I also got a Hibiscus Rose Kombucha and a cappuccino.

John Doe

Almost always great. Food was excellent, service was excellent. Gluten free options that taste amazing. Aaron is one of the best servers we've had in a long time. Ask for Aaron if at all possible.

Angelika Romero

Best gluten free pizza in Houston! Highly recommend the margarita pizza with the gluten free crust and bomba style.

Ellary Makuch

I have been to other Mod Pizza locations, and this was the worst, for various reasons. The person making the pizza did not know the difference between the pizza crusts - she stared blankly when my friend and I asked whether the cauliflower crust was a better choice for someone who is gluten free. Finally she said, "it's made from cauliflower...". Ummmm. I have a dairy allergy (which I advised) and there was cheese in the other topping containers. I had to ask the preparer to pick the cheese shreds off as she just reached in and grabbed whatever. The person in charge of baking the pizzas was too busy doing things on her phone to pay attention to the food, and my friend's pizza came out burned (they served it anyway). I could tell the baker was not paying attention because she had her back half-turned and was giggling as she typed for long periods on her phone. The person plating and cutting the pizza had a scowl on her face and all but shoved my pizza at me. In summary, the lack of knowledge, lack of professionalism/customer service and state of the topping containers has turned me off to this location.

Zahra Samji

Love their gluten free pizza! One of the best

Bethany Talarico

Portions have gotten smaller and prices have increased over the years, but it’s still a decent option for a gluten free brunch.

Jenna

Flower Child is an absolute gem for fresh, healthy, and flavorful meals, and as a celiac girlie, I love how many gluten-free options they have! Their menu is clearly labeled, and the staff is always super accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions. Whether I’m in the mood for a nourishing bowl, a refreshing salad, or their amazing gluten-free mac & cheese, I know I can eat here safely and feel great afterward. It’s the perfect spot for a quick, wholesome meal that doesn’t sacrifice taste!

Gluten-free Italian sausage pizza is by far the best in Houston.
