Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across Cincinnati

Joe Andre

Transcendental empanadas, arepas bursting with fresh fillings, frosty beverages, and a little shop where you can scarf up South American comfort foods and ingredients. The Arepa Place is amazing. My first bite into the chicken empanada sent me on a long journey to a far away planet named Delicious Prime. I landed, mid chew, in a great battle of shredded chicken, buttery flaky fried crust, and an assortment of salsas. There was purple smoke, the screaming of my teeth, and a salty wave of energy that made me urinate my pants. Moments later my wife and daughter shook me awake and I found myself on the floor moaning like a cow in heat. "Are you okay?" they asked, frantically. My response, "more arepas. And some of that aguapanela." The EMT team, curious, ordered some as well. Then, with my EMT team, I transcended back into the fever dream of flavor. Dedicated gluten free. Cute wall decor.

Excellent service, warm ambiance & delicious lemon ricotta pancakes, cheeseburger, gf chicken nugget Thai bowl & espresso martini! They were quick to acknowledge my wife’s celiac. We will be back!

Reagen Powers

Great gluten free options. Dedicated fryer.

Brenda Aratani

I’ve ordered here a couple of times and the presentation, flavor, and cooked temperature is always on point! Staff really follows the ticket order. I love their gluten free bun.

Kristie Rolfsen

We love this place! Something for everyone including my son who has celiac disease.

Kaila Ryan

I love this place and love that everything is gluten free!

Phillip Lang

Excellent food and the staff is very sweet. Great choices on the menu, Lois of neat, tasty food to explore! Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.

Tiena Bruner

We have ordered via Uber Eats a few times now. I have celiacs, and there is a nice variety of options. My personal favorite is the gluten free french toast. The surfer girl omelet is also very good and the portions are good. Thank you for giving us GF folks a safe breakfast option!

Joanna Heard

Staff were amazing and managed to fit us in, however, I definitely recommend calling ahead. Food was fantastic and there are plenty of gluten free options. My gluten free French toast was amazing and my partners "Mad Platter" was great too

Stephie

We were blown away by this place, it is such a beautiful romantic place to eat. They do have gluten free dishes and it's a family owned business the staff is incredibly friendly we even bought shirts. Highly recommend this place.

Ria Villaver Collins

Hole-in-the-wall burger place in Northside doesn't quite live up to the gem in its hidden gem status. Ordered the "Hammstein", "Buns n Rose's black bean", and vegan "James Brownie" milkshakes. Pros: Large variety of eclectic burgers, including a couple vegan options, all with fun, quirky names. They also offer gluten free & pretzel buns. Though it fell apart easily, I appreciated that the bean burger seemed fresh and handmade - could see the beans. Milkshakes can be made with vegan ice cream (coconut ice cream & almond milk). Fries were great, and burgers tasted decent. Cons: Limited seating in a tight space. Atmosphere is a little grungy, and staff seemed stressed and rushed despite there not being many people. Vegan milkshake was like syrup - not good. Biggest issue: Staff were NOT knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. I asked if the milkshakes were entirely vegan or if it was just an ice cream swap > was told it was totally vegan > turns out the mix-ins are not necessary vegan (the brownie had egg and I had to ask 4 times before I got that answer.) Sadly, can't say I'll be back.

Danielle Perry

Fantastic service and food and drinks! The chicken enchiladas, chips n salsa and the jalapeno cornbread were my favorites but everything was 10/10! Options available for dietary restrictions- gluten free/celiac

Julie Harwood

I'm gluten free for medical reasons. To be able to come to a restaurant and not have to ask what's safe for me to consume is refreshing. To be able to eat Asian fusion food and not have to worry about soy sauce is amazing. To top it off, everything is super tasty and filling. The staff are super helpful and the ambiance is great.

Sol

Awesome simple spot for the same trustworthy food each time. Not expensive and fast. Celiac safe (gluten free). I wish they had a protein option or more beans than rice (add tofu would be awesome) but that’s my only feedback!

A Smith

This place is awesome!!! Ordered one savor and one sweet g/f crepes. They were AMAZING!!! Cook asked if it was celiac and switched utensils, no reaction :). Wish it was closer. But seriously if you've never experienced a crepe, try it, it will be life changing.

Jadon G

Ordered for a gluten allergy and they did great at sanitizing the workspace and making the food safely. Best Jersey Mike's experience I've ever had by far

Amber Camacho

The pizza is so cheesy and delicious, and there are lots of options, including gluten-free. Beers are cheap. Mac's beer is $2 on draft and too tasty for that price. Service was awesome from everyone, but Sydney was an exceptional server. Not just for us, but for the booth next to us who were from out of town.

Maria Fisher

They are very accommodating for food allergies and have gluten-free pasta. Also, the service and atmosphere were both great. However, I have a few complaints: the pasta needed more salt and/or seasoning and was a very small portion for what we paid and we left still feeling hungry. Typical for a fancy restaurant I suppose though. Another complaint is that my wine tasted stale like it came from a bottle they opened a week ago.

Allan

A decent cafe with good brunch and lunch options. Does have gluten free and vegetarian for choice. The southwest chicken wrap was food

Eryn Kipner

I’ve been to this location twice recently and both times the staff were all extremely friendly and communicative!! Had a great experience both times!! I appreciate that everything on the menu is so well labeled so I don’t have to worry about finding gluten free options! Highly recommend

Angela Blair

Love Agave & Rye In Rookwood! The food was awesome as always! Enjoy the new menu and taco flight option! Our server, Megan, was awesome and really appreciate ensuring that we could accommodate my husband’s dairy & gluten sensitivity.

Barbara Shroyer

Great service & food. Have a gluten-free bun option for sandwiches!

Kat Bozeman

Great food! They were amazing for food allergies and celiacs. They had great gluten free/vegan desserts

Sarah Lingg

I was excited to try the gluten free crust, but they brought it out burnt. Twice. The second time I was told that it was as light as possible and still cook the middle. But the toppings were black, and the crust on the outside was almost there as well. I tried a bit of the crust which was only slightly less black than the toppings, and was inedible. I will say that I had the loaded fries, and they were excellent, but not enough to make up for the two burnt pizzas, and rather than owning that, making excuses for burning them. The service was good, but the pizza was disappointing.

Judi Larken

Very nice gluten free choices. Staff very helpful.

Aaliyah Macklin

They had gluten free bread for my new diet! Everyone was super friendly! I loved it

Bryan Lierer

The Kitchen Factory is a lifeline for people who are dairy and gluten free. I haven't tried anything that hasn't tasted great and you could never tell anything has even been substituted. Thank you Reese and Dillon for allowing us to have pizza and mac n' cheese again! Looking forward to enjoying a meal in the newly remodeled dining room soon.

Katie Fay

Fantastic food, great menu in addition to a gluten free menu. Very clean, great service & a wonderful way to spend Mother’s Day brunch.

Julie Weber

We went after a Reds game, so the restaurant was very crowded. 2 of the 4 in our group require gluten free. The menu had limited selections marked gluten free, so we asked what needed to be changed to make the salmon Oscar gluten free. The waiter brings it out just as described on the menu and assured us it was gluten friendly. We ate it and it was delicious but hoping we don’t get side effects. It is difficult to dine out when you feel like your health is at risk.

Tabia

EXCELLENT CREW on 04/13 nightshift! I have a gluten sensitivity and they went above and beyond to take care of my health. Thank you so much for your EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Much 💖 and 🫂!

Bridget Babey

I don't know who yall have been hiring but everyone here has not been trained up to food standards. My boyfriend and I both have deadly food allergies and when we asked for a glove change the worker sighed and huffed. Then when I told another worker we needed a clean cut I got an eye roll. When my boyfriend got his gluten free pizza cut, the girl dropped the cutter, picked it up off the ground and USED IT ON THE PIZZA!! I will be going to the West Chester location from now on as they will not kill us. Absolutely deplorable!

Kaila Ryan

We stopped for lunch and had a lovely time. Very cozy location. They offer gluten free bread which was delicious. We got some coffees to go after our meal, and those were tasty as well. Excited to come back!

Beth S

The staff took my gluten allergy very seriously! They all changed their gloves and made sure there was no cross-contamination!!

B. K. Rouzaud

Just as good as any other chick fil a I’ve been too, except it is super busy with a line that wraps around it twice sometimes. They have run out of gluten-free buns (which is why we get chick fil a often) and made a couple of mistakes on our orders.

Ken P

Accommodates all of my allergies [gluten\wheat and shellfish]. But Impossible to reach when your online order is wrong. And it has been wrong multiple times, so I'm leaving a comment. I order the same thing every time. Sometimes it's the wrong item[s] and sometimes stuff is just plain missing. I check my order each time to make sure I did nothing wrong

Thomas Kent

Gluten free buns are available!

Rachel Randall

Amazing atmosphere, service and food! Ozzi our server was very helpful and nice! I liked the Turkish coffee ☕ so many gluten free options too!

Hans Boge

So good for breakfast and late night dinner. There is energy and fun for all. If you require gluten free, they get it.

David Gvozdanovic

We stressed about the celiac disease/gluten intolerance and were promised none of the food had gluten. Proof is in the parking lot. Thanks Eric.. Tim who I assume is the Gm could not be more sympathetic in trying to resolve the issue. His sincerity in trying to find the problem in the food chain from kitchen to table was very admirable.

Vac Sulli

My daughter is gluten egg and dairy free so when I found this place I wanted to try it out with her. We tried the Mac and cheese and was very disappointed because it was sooooo dry. No creamy cheese style and it was served cold. Now the Thai noodles were amazing. They had the option of zucchini instead of noodles and that is the way to go. It was very flavorful and tasty. Also tried the key lime pie. That was good too.

Matt Faircloth

Tons of gluten free options, I had the chicken fried rice which was great.

Anna DeHondt

We love this spot in town and the people who work there are always so kind and welcoming! Great atmosphere and a wonderful spot for vegan/ gluten free food.

Melissa Peters

Our reservation was at 6 and I’d say they didn’t start cooking our food until 7:15. It was absolutely freezing in the restaurant. I mean, be very prepared to dress warm. The service wasn’t great either. Our server didn’t get our order right and everything took a long time. The one thing I give mad props on is their gluten free safety. They made sure to cook my food first and made sure everything wasn’t cross contaminated. The food was also good. I’m more upset with the atmosphere, time and service.

Kristin Hill

I love Poke Hut! I have celiac disease and never get sick eating here. Portion sizes are really good for the price and the ingredients are always fresh. I get a build your own bowl and I’m always happy with my food.

Jennifer Susan

Its hard to find good food at a great brewery, so when you find it, you have to let others know. This place also has vegan and gluten free options. The interior is clean, refreshing, and rather upscale feel. The vegan food options were delicious! My hubby was sad the cubano was sold out :(, Hope next time he can try it. Great experience, would highly recommend. Also, the lot has charging stations for EV!

Kenny Robinson

We had a fabulous dinner at the new Ripple location in Oakley. What a beautiful remodel of an old bank—very fun vibe! Unbelievably tasty food. We had the crab cake (one of the rare Gluten-Free crab cakes), the steak, the roasted Brussel sprouts, and the spicy hot-honey heirloom carrots! And of course they have a huge wine selection and full cocktail menu. I love the original Covington, KY location, but Oakley is even better!

Brian Goldstein

Upscale street tacos is what you might call these? They are on the smaller size, they they taste amazing. The queso may be the best I've ever had. And the margaritas are legit. Lots of gluten free options if you need that.

Britt Pitcher

The team at this location is very thorough with their gluten free prep. The staff is knowledgeable in Celiac and provide a great experience.
