Top 29 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Annapolis

Everything about True Food is a delight! The cocktails were perfectly balanced and the service from James was absolutely top notch. I typically avoid gluten free options due to the texture, but the gluten free blueberry pancakes are the best pancakes I've had at a restaurant period. My partner loved his matcha horchata and farmer’s hash. I highly recommend giving this spot a try, it’s wonderful!

I took my family tonight for restaurant week. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server came over quickly and was attentive but not too much. The menu was extensive and the choices were outstanding. My young grandson was with us who needed a gluten free option. The server was able to help with an excellent option. The food was great as was the service. We all highly recommend Luna Blu and we will be going back again in the near future.

Very good coffee, I find their espresso based options especially good, nothing is overly sweet (I've had Almond Joy, hazelnut, and another I can't remember). The chix salad is very good, breakfast sandwiches have lots of options for cheese and protein, and they serve the best gluten free roll I've ever tried. The only minor negative is the eggs for sandwiches are cooked in the microwave, they are tasty nonetheless. They do a very brisk order online-n-pickup business and I actually love it. I wish I lived near this terrific local coffeehouse chain, but I was visiting the area for several weeks and visited the Annapolis and Crownsville locations multiple times.

The experience was great! I went there with my family and we got a table right when we walked up to the entrance, the staff were very friendly, and the food was very good. All the dishes came out pretty fast. They have a delicious gluten-free pizza!

Delicious! Vegetarian options. Gluten free options clearly marked on menu. Reasonable prices and a la carte menu. Great margaritas.

Great breakfast! They had both indoor and outdoor seating available, and seated us right away. They had symbols on the menu to indicate what was gluten-free friendly. They also had dairy-free creamer. I got the angry pig omelet and an iced coffee.

the food is good, our Italian friend always wants to go here and says it's as authentic as you get around there. ive only been for lunch a handful of time but its usually not crowded. some vegetarian options, not many vegan or gluten free.

This place is absolute fire and everyone that works there is awesome. They know my order by heart and make it with love every time. Shout out to the gluten free cheesesteak pizza! -Tommy

Don't come here if you have food allergies. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and was hoping this place would be safe since they have menu items marked gluten free and had heard things about them using separate fryers. When I came in, I made the waitress aware of my allergies and ordered a salad and the sampler platter. I wasn't sure which of the sides would be safe to eat with my entree, so I checked with the waitress and after some hesitation she agreed to check with the kitchen, came back and said the potato salad would be fine. Not too long into eating my meal, I started to have a reaction, and now, (next day) I am debilitated from whatever contamination was in the food. Very disappointed and will not be coming back.

We have recently rediscovered Noodles and Company and it has become a go-to for our family. Their variety of options to include vegan and gluten free, makes it a place everyone can find something.

Our server, Erin, made us feel like we were not a burden even though 5/6 of us were gluten free and three of us have celiac disease, typically rendering eating out very unsafe, if not impossible. Rafael, the chef on duty that day, came to talk to us and custom made pretty much all of our meals to ensure they were celiac safe. I want to shout from the rooftops so other celiacs will give Maggianos a try. It only took about 20 minutes for our food to come out, too. Custom made celiac safe Mac and cheese and he even made a custom sauce so that the chicken piccata would be safe for me (I have celiac and a corn sensitivity). I was so impressed and we all left feeling like it was a life changing experience to have such a nice restaurant to be able to go to when we want to go out to dinner. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Maggianos Annapolis! We will be back over and over!!!

3 diners, 6 small plates, 2 of us had drinks. It was good, not great, but good. Portion size was appropriate. 3 sea scallops nicely seared on the sea scallops plate-- very good. The cauliflower steak was seared with cajun spices. Taste was good, but cauliflower was undercooked. The red beans and rice underneath cauliflower was delicious. Food came out when it was ready and at a good speed. Server was no where to be seen towards the end of the meal. We had to go find them. Management staff was excellent and responsive when there was a concern that we didn't like something. The labeling on gluten free was labeled "gluten sensitive". Both our party and the nearest other party had to ask what that meant. We appreciated the variety of choices for gluten intolerant persons, but the labeling might need to either be tweaked or defined on the menu.

My husband and I had an amazing dining experience while visiting Annapolis. Both managers Mike and Nick were so friendly and accommodating. Our waitress Taylor provided excellent service and offered great suggestions from the menu. I loved that they had their own gluten free / vegan menu. There were so many choices and my meal was perfection. There is something for everyone. My husband loved his meal and made room for a delicious dessert. The service was fast , the atmosphere great and the staff was top notch . We are already talking about going back tomorrow. :)

Expensive, but very well-stocked with vegan and gluten-free options, which I appreciate. If you're disappointed with the gliten-free bread selection in the bakery area, walk around the corner into the aisle two rows in from the bakery - the other gluten-free breads are in a freezer there. :)

We have dined here twice. Both times we were highly disappointed. We wont be back. Lets start with the good. The Brussels were amazing (although a little spicer the second round...yes we ordered two.) and the rock fish was a crowd pleaser. The kids burger was very large and we split it for our kids. The side fruit that came with it seemed fresh cut and had a great variety. Now the bad...Gluten free menu online but not in restaurant. They had a few selections but they didn't seem polished with this and we were celebrating a birthday for someone with an allergy. We selected this place thinking it would be easy for them. My husband didn't like the chicken sandwich. It was thin and extra crispy. My beet and blue salad was large but not very good. The scallops were okay but very salty. Last visit our lamb lollipops were served cold but we overlooked it thinking it was because we ordered quite a bit. We requested roof deck seating with our reservations and in the restaurant upon arriving and both times we were not successful. There was a party our most recent trip and I cant remember the reasoning for the first visit. This was a big bummer since it was a gorgeous night and there is outdoor dining right down the street. Our hostess informed us yesterday that you can't request location of seating in a reservation (phone and online). Surprising since we had but good knowledge to pass along.

Lattes & breakfast burritos were delish! So grateful they offer gluten free tortillas & bread for their food + are open early in the morning.

Lena

Fabulous!!! Super friendly for gluten free diets.

A cozy and charming coffee spot with gluten-free options, including two types of muffins and a lemon bar. The coffee was delicious, but we were surprised that only one person was working on a Saturday morning, which made the wait a bit longer than expected. Still, the atmosphere was worth it, and the attached bookstore added a special touch. Definitely a great place to visit if you’re not in a rush.

I gotta give this place a review! The management team is absolutely phenomenal!! We’ve ordered takeaway from this location multiple times, and even though the first 2 times the orders did get somewhat messed up, the team did right by us, were very accommodating and fixed everything right away. My husband also has a severe gluten allergy, and this is one of the only places in the Annapolis area we feel safe eating! When I call to place an order and ask for a manager, they are *so* incredibly kind and helpful even though our food has to be prepared in a very specific way. I know in food service it can be a pain to deal with customers who have such specific requests to make sure the food isn’t cross-contaminated, but they go above & beyond for us every time to make sure our food is prepared safely, correctly & deliciously! I can’t say enough great things about Holly, Sarah and the rest of the team. Great food, and even better people. Thank you guys so much! And for anyone else that has celiac or a gluten allergy, knowing it can be nearly impossible to find safe & reliable places to eat - this is your spot!

We found this in the Find Me Gluten Free app when looking for somewhere to get lunch on a Sunday. The people were so nice and they really understand gluten free. I had a tuna salad sandwich on Gluten Free bread, which was delicious. The bread was tasty and the tuna was definitely homemade and delicious. They also have a separate case with gluten free dessert items.

Broadneck Grill is incredible! They catered my wedding in October and I cannot say enough positive things about them! They were very responsive and patient answering all of my many many questions! They were also easily able to accommodate all of the various dietary restrictions and allergies that my guests had (i.e. Gluten Free, lactose intolerant, shellfish, vegetarian, etc...). The food and service were fantastic, all my guests were raving about the fajitas and the crab balls! They are truly full service, they handled all the set up and break down, cleaned up throughout the night, delivered chairs & linens, and kept us on schedule! They were an absolute dream to work with and did a fantastic job

Just ordered take out for the first time. They were incredibly busy with only 1 employee. He was doing his best to fill all of his orders. I didn't order an acai bowl off the list, but instead chose to create my own, which was probably a little more tedious for him. Nevertheless, he took my order with patience and a smile. After ringing me up, he did show me the other orders that were in front of me and explained that he was doing the best he could to fill them all, but he had those to fill first and he was working alone. I understood and felt that he represented the company well by being so pleasant under stress, taking the time away from completing the orders he already had to take my order and then explained very clearly where my order stood in the line of production. As a former business owner, I was impressed. A few minutes later, his colleague showed up to help him through the rush and my order was completed fairly quickly. Despite having to wait, I would go again. The bowl was outstanding, the options for ingredients was suitable for vegan, gluten free and dairy free, which worked well for me. And the bowl was FILLED. WORTH EVERY PENNY. Definitely a fan.

Fantastic menu options, and an extensive beer and wine list. The space is rich in history and very classy. Sometimes there is live music. Good vegetarian and gluten-free options as well.
