Top 30 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Melbourne

Kristen Gauthier

Our server Andrew was very welcoming and kind when we visited during our family vacation. The salads are HUGE and he warned us - so we were able to share as a family of 5. My daughter and I eat gluten free and the pizza was delicious. I felt confident that there was no cross contamination (not a gluten free kitchen). I did not get ill and my daughter said “if this restaurant was near home I would ask to eat there every day.”

Unique. Reminds me of a subway order style. Customized personal pizza just shy of 11 bucks. Order any toppings you desire. Gluten-free pizza ordered by mother. Thin crust type pizza. Recommend baking a tad longer.

The environment was cool. The art is for sale (kind of expensive) the waiter was great. They have gluten free options.

Hemingway's has been safe for me to eat at. They have limited (think Well seasoned chicken skewers, lentil soup, and blackened fish of the day) gluten free options, but being Celiac in Melbourne makes any place with quality cuisine a repeat.

I have my daughter and her friend here for spring break and Sunday we headed to Backwater for brunch! We sat outside on a cute patio and Chelsea was our waitress. She was very attentive made great suggestions on what we may like for food and for drinks. My daughter is gluten-free so she ordered the pancakes and said they were absolutely delicious. I had the breakfast sandwich on the Cuban garlic bread that Chelsea had suggested and it was absolutely mouthwatering. When the gal came out to deliver it to me, she said you’re going to fall in love and she was right. It was exactly what we needed to kick off their visit to Florida. I will definitely be going back and trying some of the other menu items that look delicious. If you’re in the neighborhood, you’ll definitely have to stop by for a fantastic dining experience.

I came here for the first time for an anniversary celebration with my partner and the dining experience was incredible! Having celiac disease, it’s very hard to find restaurants that are accommodating. Especially restaurants with good gf bread! George was our server, and was amazing at ensuring the food I ate was not cross-contaminated. Even going the extra step to flip the spoon in the non-gf sauce on the platter so we would know the difference. (The little things matter!) I would 100% recommend this place for any event, or even just a nice dinner out. Ask for George! He was an amazing server!

This restaurant was really very good. Food was great and the atmosphere was also very nice - a bit dark but it adds to the ambiance. Our server was friendly but not as forthcoming with helping us maneuver the menu as we had hoped considering we stated it was our first visit. We had to force descriptions from the server and while she wasn't awful, she didn't make it special, either. The restaurant was not busy as we dined in during a lull on a Sunday, late afternoon. We enjoy this time of the day for meals. As for the food, the Pork Minestrone was so delicious! I would come back just for a bowl of this soup!! The flavors were spot on and a new favorite! The Caprese was very fresh and tasty. If you enjoy fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, capers and balsamic, you will truly enjoy this starter. The Bruchetta was also incredibly tasty! There are two different Bruchetta choices on the menu. I do not remember the name of the one I chose, but it did not have capers. The flavors melded perfectly! My husband had the gluten-free pasta with meatballs and marinara. His true critique was that the gluten-free pasta overpowered the flavors of the meatballs and sauce and it really wasn't his favorite. He'd like to try regular pasta next time. We will definitely visit again.

I love the burgers here but the customer service is seriously lacking and the manger is extremely rude. Over my past 5 orders they have forgotten toppings, sides, and condiments. I’m a celiac and can’t eat gluten and this is one of the rare places who offer gluten free buns at an extra price. It’s already crappy I have to already pay more for a allergy but on top of that they never give me ketchup, or mayonnaise even when I ask multiple times to please put it in the bag. since my gluten free bun comes in a plastic wrapping they don’t put the condiments on the burger even tho I’ve asked them too they said they can put it in the bag and then never do! I’ve gotten a couple deluxe burgers missing onions, missing lettuce, missing ordered and paid for bacon on the burger. I’ve gone back through the drive thru because let’s be honest no one wants to eat a dry burger. Tonight I went through the drive thru after driving 20 minutes to get it and asked the girl three times for ketchup and even asked her if she put some in my bag and paid extra for two ranches and then I get home to no ketchup no mayonnaise and a burger with no lettuce or onion. I called the manager and was very respectful and said hi I was just there 25 minutes ago and ordered food, I ordered a deluxe gluten free burger and they gave me no ketchup or the ranch I paid for and my burger was missing lettuce and onion. And if I could come back tomorrow and get a remake cause this is like the 6th time it’s happened. He then told me I could come back right now when they close in 25 minutes and I’m 20 minutes away. He said he didn’t care there was no one above him to talk to and hung up on me. He was very rude, very disrespectful and I’m sick of them forgetting my items. Sucks cause food is good. Management is horrible and it seems like there’s multiple people having this issue. I work across the parking lot from them and eat there on my lunch sucks they’re gonna lose a almost daily customer over remaking a single burger. Do better

Food was delicious! Plenty of gluten free options. Prices are a bit high, and I can’t find an updated menu online. Definitely organic, fresh, & delicious food, very healthy.

Aaron Neswald

This place is fantastic. The food service and atmosphere were awesome. Would recoment the combo plater and the. Also the gluten free menu and vegan menu were eazy to read and understand

Kara

I love their vegan fried rice with mushrooms and tofu. The crispy tofu appetizer is yummy too! There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options.

I haven't been to an IHOP in more than a decade because I have a gluten sensitivity. My friend wanted IHOP so I figured I'd have to watch him eat pancakes. Our incredible server, Stewart (yes that's the correct spelling) told me that IHOP HAS GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES! They are cooked on the same grill but it's a dry grill and they will wipe it down. I cannot tell you how happy I am! I got to have fluffy, tasty pancakes that did not cause a reaction. And Stewart was the best waiter I've had in a long time. He was attentive without being annoying, he was just as sweet as he could be and anticipated our needs at every turn. He should be working at a fine dining restaurant but he's just so damn personable I don't know that I would want to let him go. Breakfast was exactly how I asked for it with dry scrambled eggs, everything was spot on, Delivered timely and again, Stewart is an absolute treasure. This location is at the entrance of the Brevard Zoo so stop by, have brekkie AND ASK TO SIT IN STEWART'S SECTION

We had Melissa as a manager and Melissa as our server both were amazing very attentive and very helpful. I had dietary restrictions and they were just amazing. Making sure that I had gluten-free choices and that came out hot and delicious. I would recommend this to anyone. thank you to Melissa and Melissa. We will be back.

What great customer service we had. My sister-in-law (who had not been there before as she is not from this area) is gluten intolerant and was trying to decide what she could order. Allyson heard our conversation and offered a gluten-free menu. She was very friendly and created a great atmosphere for us. I have eaten here more than a few times, but this was the first time I was not 100% pleased with the food. It seemed a bit bland, and after I ate I thought it might have needed some more salt. Since I NEVER add salt to food when I eat out, I had not even considered that. If the food had been up to standard, as it has always been in the past, I would have given five stars. This one food experience will not give me pause; I will definitely go again. Note: Allyson is awesome and needs to be cloned!

Their (naturally gluten-free) macarons are out-of-this-world amazing! I might have to take up exercising just so I can keep eating them! Their other two GF options included meringue cookies and creme brûlée, which also looked delicious!

Logan Furiato

The team at this location was fantastic. I have gluten sensitivity and dairy sensitivity and the team was very understanding and even cleaned the cutter fully. Thank you!

kimberly benton

I’m gluten free! However they offer a unique and delicious Guava cider! They have a welcoming environment offering indoor and outdoor relaxation! Most importantly they support local farmers and recycle spent grains from the brewing process. Thank you for contributing to your community!

Apocalypse has amazing coffee and a super cool space and atmosphere. Their coffee is some of the best in Brevard County. Their food hasn’t super blown me away but it’s still pretty good and I really appreciate the variety, as well as the gluten free options. The employees are always nice. The only issue is the lack of parking during busy times and lack of seating inside, but I suppose it’s a testament to their popularity. Regardless I love this place and can’t wait for their new location to open up!

Great service and food and Gluten Free!!

Justin Rupp

Lots of gluten free options and staff was very knowledgeable in addition to gluten free items marked on the menu. I have celiac and did not have any issues. Food was delicious, will definitely be back.

Nancy Jacobson

Sea bass was very good ... chef accommodated my food allergies ... would love for them to offer a gluten free pasta!!

I had the trophy wife out for a shopping spree downtown and we needed to refresh the engines with some gluten free fuel. We had heard about Fiesta and decided to grab lunch there. We were greeted warmly by Sam and seated quickly. Sam did a great job explaining the menu for us and filling us in on how all the food is handmade and same for their sauces. I got the fish bowl with yum sauce on the side. My wife got the steak bowl with mango curry lime sauce on top. The bowls have generous portions and we brought home leftovers! Try the orange mojito too!

Spencer Stromberg

Awesome place for gluten free

Sandeep Wilkhu

Sunday afternoon was excellent here Gluten free crust was fresh and tasty. Had shared few dishes, service was very good. Highly recommend this place

Jeff L

Killer vegan grilled cheese with tomato on gluten free bread. If you get bored of the limited vegan options you find out there try their amazing vegan grilled cheese. Perfectly melted vegan cheese was just amazing. I also saw a vegan chili on the menu to try next time. They grilled the gluten free bread I chose perfectly. Mix it up and try this place out. Highly recommend.

Allen Dockery

Best Subs, now with Gluten free bread!

Bruce Arnstein

Amazing food and service! My family and I celebrated my mom’s 72nd birthday here with a group of 10: 3 kids and 7 adults. To start, their soda fountain has flavored sparkling water, unique soda flavors, and the usuals, but is made with cane sugar in place of HF corn syrup. The food is prepared fresh and served hot. Sooooo good also. Most of us had one of their award winning burger options, but they offer a good variety of food options. My wife who is, no dairy and gluten free diet, was able to eat a steak skewer with sides. The service was quick and friendly for a large group. I highly recommend Island IX for any occasion. If you're are looking for a new spot to eat - Island IX is your place!

Angie Eschmann

I love that they have gluten free options and you can order on line

Norma Jones

Safe gluten-free food and preparation. Freshest ingredients and friendly service. Dining area is clean and comfortable. Generous parking. Easy access. Handicap accessible.

Justin Best

This place is surprisingly good considering that it is nestled inside a gas station convenience store. We brought our 4 children and sat inside not really sure what to expect...it was delicious! The menu is robust and offers stromoli, calzone, garlic knots and much more. I had a French fry lamb gyro and the kids had gluten free cheese pizza. We were all impressed! We'll be back again!
