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

Carissa

Delicious. The cinnamon roll was amazing. While a bit pricey for a standard bakery, the $25+ tip for 3 baked items and a regular coffee felt average priced for a gluten-free bakery. The women behind the counter were friendly; they waved and giggled with my daughter, and we enjoyed a brief chat. The decor is charming and tastefully creative. I'll definitely be back soon!

everything on the menu looks so good so it's hard to pick what to eat, all the food was delicious and it's very gluten friendly. we tried the chicken tikka sandwich which was a beautiful fusion and the blackberry salmon which wasn't too sweet and cooked perfectly

Tammy Stearns

Always delicious beer, but my son recently brought me the Rustic Badger Farmhouse Ale for my birthday and I think it’s my new favorite! Love that it is a little lighter at 4.2%. Thanks for showing that quality beer can be gluten free!

Amazing customer service, people were extremely nice and friendly. Food was good and had excellent choices for vegan and gluten free, allergy friendly menu items. Not super expensive either, which is a huge plus so I can come here more regularly. Only leaving 4 stars because of the water having salt/minerals* and they had to remake my friend’s vegan tacos. Also would add that my mocktail was mostly ice… They were really good about providing allergen free laminated menus with notes. *Suggestion to restaurant, I know other people have commented about the water. It probably would have been a 5 stars if not for water quality. It just was a gritty tap like taste. (FYI water snobs in Madison, RED has the best free water served in restaurants)

This our go to place when we visit madison. Being celiac I finally don't have to worry about what I eat. Bonus gf tempura

Josie Hansen

The best gluten free pasta! Also love the aperol spritz!

Great gluten free ham and cheese croissant

Jaclyn Wegener

I am gluten free and this is one of the true gems of Madison. If you’ve forgotten what chicken tenders taste like, this place has the world’s best gluten free chicken tenders. Make sure to also save room for the salted caramel cheesecake ! It looks like a sports bar but they have some of the best food I’ve had

Brianna Doyle

Had gluten free pancakes that tasted so yummy. You can get the different flavor pancakes gluten free. Has a wait on Sunday mornings. Really friendly staff.

Hannah S

You will not find a better french fry in the greater madison area Everything I've ever had has been stellar Great gluten free options

Brad Seebeck

Stopped here for dinner with the family after flying into Madison. Menu was great, service was friendly, and the food was delicious! They didn't mind our 3 young children being a little squirmy after sitting on a plane all afternoon. Had great Gluten Free and Vegan options on the menu. What a great place! Highly recommend!

Teri Kremer

Great food, very good about allergies and gluten free! Love this place!

Logan

Both times I've been there, they've had great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Gluten-free buns are always available, and they have a designated fryer to avoid cross contamination.

Luis Gavaldon

First time here, and I was very satisfied with the El Papí sampler and the Lomo Saltado a Caballo (center)paired excellently with a glass of Malbec. My fellow lunch party also enjoyed their meals. They had the Parrilla Callejera (left) and La Taguara Burger (right). They have plenty of gluten-free options as well. Will return again.

Jennifer King

I didn't capture pics of the food. I ate here two days in a row. First day I had the turkey n bacon sandwich on gluten free bread with cabbage slaw side. Today I has the pumpkin cinnamon roll gluten free pancakes 🥞!! Let me tell you! Best gluten free pancakes I have ever had. Moist, hot, delicious!!! Highly recommend.

Andrew VanDerKolk

amazing food! lovely atmosphere - upbeat and wowing decor. an amazing array of beers wines and bloody mary’s as well. if you come, start with the traditional frites (fries) and blackened garlic ranch aioli sauce - fantastic! plus for anyone that is gluten free or celiac they have a dedicated gluten free menu - woo hoo!

melissawilcox1

The gluten-free breakfast burritos basically got me through COVID. Delicious potatoes, eggs, cheese, bacon. They are best enjoyed on the shores of Lake Mendota with the accompanying salsa.

Jenna W

Tons of gluten "sensitive" options! Our server was very knowledgeable and extremely accommodating Would most likely not be safe for celiac but for folks gf for other reasons, its great. The cheesecake was divine

Adrianna Lopez

Alejandro was a great cashier! Very knowledgeable about my gluten allergy. He is very helpful, kind, and funny! Great tasting food, atmosphere was great, and service was lovely! Samples of peach cobbler were given, and he even asked if this was our first time here, and he welcomed us in.

Food was delicious. 9/10. My personal favorite dishes included green curry and praham long song. Everyone we talked to recommended the red noodles, so definitely try those as well! I got the foco roasted coconut juice as a drink which was nice but wouldn’t re-order. To be truthful, I only got it because it had boba. The sticky mango rice as dessert was DELICIOUSSSS and a fun cultural food to try. The cream cheese wontons were exquisite. Basic, but delicious. Almost everything here can be made vegetarian and gluten free which is great if someone has dietary restrictions. Overall would definitely recommend this place, especially with parents in town as it is a little pricey for the college student budget. The service was good except they do this thing where you have a table but must go to the front and order every time and then they bring your food out to you. I was not the biggest fan as someone constantly had to get up to go order food, a drink, etc. and it broke conversation. May just be a personal preference though. My final rating is an 8/10 for the restaurant.

Aubree Sue Yanchik

The Globe is the one restaurant I have cravings for consistently. Their tic tac curry is my absolutely favorite! There are gluten free options galore. The staff is always very kind. Don’t sleep on this one if you’re downtown and looking for some flavorful fusion food.

Cassidy Meyer

Nice place. Got our coffee and food pretty fast! They have great gluten free options too.

Sue Ike

First time there and staff Jesus was very awesome, welcoming with explaining how the ordering routine worked. Was with friend and we tried both of the gluten-free crust pizzas and both were delicious. Will be back!

kean obrien

I love this place. They have such good food and service. I am now gluten free and just tried their gf pizza and it’s so good. They have great vegan sausage also! Of course they have all the cheese and regular crust also

michael parks

Great place! 3rd generation restaurant owner, and it shows The little things are done right, the staff has a great attitude that creates a great atmosphere. Head and shoulders above any sports bar on this side of the Capitol Lots of seating (it is full and I mean full full during Breese Stevens events, or playoff games) Clean quality bathrooms Fish fry is solid (with many fish options), the soups are a hidden gem, I personally love the sandwiches and the pork wings 🪽 They have celiac safe options and take that responsibility very seriously Great bar staff too, so don't be afraid to belly up next to some great neighborhood regulars

Ryan Lindley

My wife and I spent our 5 year anniversary meal here and the food and service were outstanding. They provided free champagne for our anniversary! I have a gluten sensitivity and they had a GF menu ready for me so I didn't have to ask. Their menu perfectly describes what is GF and what is gluten sensitive friendly. The service was superb and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

Andrea Holderman

This Jason's Deli is always clean and well-maintained. Staff is prompt and always friendly. One of my kids has Celiac Disease and Jason's Deli is one of the few places in Madison that we can trust for him not to get gluten contamination because they take gluten free seriously. Drive-thru and online ordering is great, too! We love it!

Ali T

Love going to Otto's for food and music on the deck. They've got curtains and heaters if it gets cold but usually it's perfect on its own. They have a lot of gluten-free and vegetarian choices. Their wait staff are excellent, so friendly and fast that I always have to leave a nice tip. 😉

Jenny Braatz

I'm vegan gluten free and was in town for the afternoon. Once I saw the menu here I knew I had to go. I had the Banzo platter with falafel & tahini, hummus & carrots, rice and salad. Plus I added kalamata olives, I mean, who wouldn't with a platter like that? I also had the homemade tea. The flavors were amazing! I'll definitely be back when I'm in town again! Thank you for a delicious meal!

Lydia Giordano

They have an amazing gluten free crust!! And you can order many of the specialty pizzas gluten free as well! I’m celiac and I didn’t get sick 😎 bonus: the crust is also vegan and they have several vegan options as well!

Morgan Maloney

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve gotten anything from Fresh Fin, and I had forgotten how INCREDIBLE the food is. All of their ingredients are super fresh and tasty. I’ve tried their more traditional fish-based bowls, as well as a few of their other options, and have never been disappointed. *One of my favorite things about this place is how accommodating they are to different dietary needs and preferences. Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free, watching carbs and/or cals, just about anything you could imagine. If you order online, they also have a section where you can note any allergies down to the specific ingredient in your bowl and their kitchen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so accessible. Even if it’s not for a specific dietary restriction, the customizability is a huge benefit and means you could eat here daily for months and always have something new to try. I’ve seen some comments about the prices, but the portions you get are beyond reasonable. I’ve had leftovers from the smaller size! Service has always been very quick and friendly in my experience. Just an overall wonderful spot with hearty and healthy foods!

Katrina Marie

Unhelpful when I called to inquire about gluten free and dairy free options. Just kept telling me it is all in the same oven and there was no effort to accommodate. So if you have celiac disease or require gluten free meals don't bother wasting your time here.

Stacy Peña

I am asymptomatic celiac. They have several different menus (older versions?), and by luck I received the only one at the table that had gluten free markings on it. There are a decent amount of choices, but none of the pastas are marked. Apparently, sometimes they do not have the GF penne, but tonight they did. The waitress did not know a lot of answers, but she was happy to run back and ask. Several times. Heh. The meatballs and Alfredo sauce are not GF, but the marinara is. All pizzas can be made GF, and all of the dishes with meat as the main dish can be made GF (beef, chicken, 2 fish options). I got marinara with chicken, and GF penne pasta, the side salad (without croutons) with the Italian garlic vinaigrette. That vinaigrette is absolutely delicious! The marinara was decent, but I've had better. It's a meal that I can eat, and got that, I'm grateful!

Ashley Wendt

Incredible food & so awesome to have gluten sensitive options too! Great service & friendly staff!

Annie Hoppe

I have celiac disease so I have to be careful about gluten and they made sure to make my tofu separate from their normal fryer. I've always loved this place even before finding out I couldn't eat gluten! Great tasting food and the quantity you get is amazing, I always have leftovers which I always look forward to. Very vegetarian and vegan friendly also, any dish can be substituted with tofu rather than meat!

Elizabeth Anderson

Very delicious and unique food. Small space and few people waiting so be patient. Food is worth it and some of the most tender lamb I have had in a while. Great vegetarian and gluten free choices.

Alison Onson

One of my favorite gluten free pizzas in Madison. This location is fast and it’s convenient since it’s just around the corner from me.

Kenneth Miller

Excellent gluten free pizza!

melissawilcox1

Went to get a gluten-free sandwich and was impressed by the variety of drinks and sides. I had a very generously portioned Rachel. The coleslaw was delicious. I would go back.

Abbey Dove

These guys have the best pizza in Madison. The sauce, the cheese, the sausage, it's all outstanding. AND, if you want a gluten-free crust they have TWO to pick from. Their normal gluten-free is great, and shockingly, so is their cauliflower crust (which was probably intended for the keto folks, but my gluten eating husband loved it.

Baylen Wagner

This is what a burger joint should be! Friendly staff, quick service, and truly delicious burgers for a reasonable price. Found my new go-to place! (Had a gluten-free bun and sweet potato fries were excellent.)

Lisa W.

Authentic Italian atmosphere….amazing pasta options…gluten free was the best! Fantastic service!

Kyle Simmons

My girlfriend has a gluten intolerance allergy but was curious to try a concrete for the first time, knowing there was a risk of cross contamination but being willing to risk it. We told the drive-through opperator that she had a gluten allergy, and they checked the ingredients for us and marked the order on the sign with a gluten (wheat) allergy flag. When we pulled up to the window, the nicest employee gave us a number and warned us that it would be a few minutes because... they cleaned the blenders, the tools to mix and scoop, and even the extruder. This level of service at a fast food restaurant is unparalleled even compared to Chick-fil-A! We will be visiting other locations in the future with hopes of equal service!

Melissa Stern

My favorite coffee shop in Madison! I have a severe gluten allergy and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable, and made me a breakfast sandwich with a gluten free bagel in the oven instead of the panini press to avoid cross contamination. The coffee is incredible and if you can manage to get a table, the environment is awesome.

Amanda Lulewicz

Amazing bbq! We used their catering services for a group picnic and they did a great job with the drop-off and setup. They were super friendly and flexible when we need to change the timing around. Gluten-free and even vegetarian-friendly. Everyone absolutely loved the food! Definitely recommend!

Amy Fewel

Fantastic place for smoothies! Appreciate being able to eat there as I’m vegan, gluten free and soy free. Delicious!!

Chris Washebek

Great food, especially the gluten free bierocks!

Caroline Toto

Walked into Casetta and was immediately welcomed by the friendly staff and nice, clean atmosphere. I planned to have a salad since I have a gluten allergy but was SO excited that they had gluten free bread so I could get a sandwich! It was delicious!! Honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Love this place!

They offer a gluten free menu and have attentive staff to any questions, 12/18/2024
