Top 23 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Waco

My husband and I absolutely loved out visit here. We were in town for the weekend and needed a quick bite to eat. I have several food intolerances and am non celiac gluten sensitivitie, so finding food while out and about can be hard. This place was able to help with that as they are gluten free and very accommodating with any other food issues you may have. I had the smoked chicken box (which was rice, then smoked chicken on top of that and then a layer of slaw. My husband had the brisket box.(rice layer then brisket and pickles on top of that, then a layer of slaw) Both were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The customer service was spot on. The only thing we were sad about it there isn't one in the town where we live. So next time we make our way back up to waco, this place will definitely be on our list of places to eat at.

I’m so glad I stopped by here while driving through! My son is dairy and gluten-free and there were several options for him! He loved the sausage (he asked for a second) and the cookie. I had the berry salad and added chicken, bacon, and avocado and I also ate his gluten-free pancake that was SO good. I’m not a big pancake person but I might come back just for the pancakes with their special coconut whipped cream and syrup. Next time I’m driving through I hope I time it right to stop by!

My family has been getting gluten-free pizza here for a few years. The cost is around $20, but until now the size was ok. While the price has stayed the same, the pizza has shrunk to 1/2 the size it was. The quality isn't great, but GF crust is hard to perfect, however we can buy the same quality at Wal-Mart for much less with this one. Bummer. We've dined in once, weren't thrilled with the service or atmosphere, but I really feel that speaks more of the owners than the staff. I think the staff does try to be accommodating but it's just a depressing place.

Amazing gluten free waffles!!!

We were on our way out of town and wanted something that I was able to eat while traveling due to having celiac. This place was so good and knowledgeable to what was safe for me to eat. They were so careful and the food and service was amazing.

Always an enjoyable meal but our most recent experience was especially great. As of our most recent visit, they’ve added a gluten free section to their menu! Made ordering a breeze. Angel, our server, was knowledgeable about any allergens/ recommendations and enthusiastic about all things Clay Pot. It was a delight to interact with her and she heightened an already solid experience!

Sisters Adventure Day and it was a google search that lead us to a restaurant with gluten free menu (which I needed) a glass of the best rosé (Chloe) we toasted with and the most amazing lunch we could have asked for. The salmon was perfectly cooked and everything was seasoned to perfection. We both agreed that the chefs cooked with their hearts. Cheers to a wonderful staff!

Ash Tolliver

Fun vibe, and nice sized gluten-free menu! I had the salmon and elote with chips. Delish!

If you are looking for great BBQ in casual setting do not miss Terry Black's. I was not expecting its almost fast food style service where you select your sides (single, pint or larger servings), then meat by the pound (sold in 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, or pound servings. We had the brisket, plain sausage and pork ribs. All outstanding. Melt in your mouth brisket. The potato salad and coleslaw slaw are both vegan and gluten free for anyone avoiding those. Great green beans too. I missed that they dont offer collard greens. Corn bread was great too. Highly recommend for a relaxed casual lunch or dinner. The guy by the smoker even offered to take out picture by the sign and next to the smokers and to give us a quick tour of the smokers.

They were out of 2 of the three regular crust options, they did have a gluten free crust, but it was flavorless and they were very light on the cheese.

La Fiesta is a fantastic spot for great food and a welcoming atmosphere! The colorful decor creates a fun and lively setting, and the staff is incredibly helpful and attentive. The menu is well-organized, with clearly marked gluten-free options, making it easy to find something for everyone. I had the fajita chicken salad, which was both very filling and very good. The flavors were fresh, and the portion was generous. The house salsa is also a standout—just the right amount of heat to be satisfying without overwhelming those who prefer milder spice. The large bar adds to the inviting environment, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Overall, La Fiesta delivers on food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Although the location was tricky to find, the Nutty Coco Açai Bowl was delightful! They offer locally brewed kombucha and some other items too. The ladies were wonderful and worked to customize my order to avoid my food allergies. I hope they offer gluten free granola one day!

Cute spot for boba bevs in Waco! The atmosphere is lovely, and it’s a fun place to work or hangout. Most food items are not Gluten Free, but many bevs can be (just ask!)

Love this place and I can get gluten free. Yea!

Jackson Luckin

We’ve been here 3 times and every time Ryan remembers and gives us 12/10 service and food. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough from the food, to the environment, to the service it’s all amazing. They remember things like my wife being gluten free or our son wanting ketchup with his fries and we’ve only be there 3 times in the past year. If you haven’t checked out Cajun craft you need to!! Everything on the menu is amazing!

John Hicks

Very good burgers, sandwiches, and frozen custard. My wife is gluten free and she had them wrap her sandwich in lettuce instead of bread.

Tiph S

Friendly environment and had options for gluten free - cauliflower crust margarita pizza was very good. They are dog friendly too! Charcuterie board was very good as well! They put bread and pretzels on the side so the others with me could have them since I could not.

Sabrina

Gluten free options Dog friendly patio and will bring food out to you. Inside looks cool and prices are good.

Hannah Smith

This Starbucks was quick! I was in and out in under 3 minutes. Granted, it was 6AM, but I was still impressed! I love the new pumpkin chai - it is delicious! And the egg bites are a great gluten free option.

First of all, shout out to Brynley for being the most amazing service provider! George’s is that place that a lot of restaurants wish they could be. They have a menu with options that can please even the most finicky of diners. Our group have a vegan, a vegetarian, meat lovers, and gluten free musts. This place was able to make each of us happy. We visited the place a few times during our weekend in Waco. It may sound like a college hangout, but it is much more, it’s a family. Food portions are large, prices are affordable and the drinks are huge. As I am the reviewer, I will say that I had amazing veggie fajitas sizzling with mushrooms and warm tortillas. Fantastic! Give George O’s a try the next time you’re traveling through or staying in Waco. good food and fun times!
