Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Birmingham

This place is amazing! Haven’t had anything bad but the bbq burger was extra good and you’ve got to have the fried Oreos.

Jennifer Jarvis

Thank you for having Gluten Free options. GF buns, designated fry fryer etc! My celiac son can enjoy eating here.

El barrio is one of Birminghams restaurants. You can expect to wait on friday and saturday evenings due to the high demand for delicious food at a reasonable price. The servers work harmoniously during busy times and have a streamlined process so that you have the best dining experience. They are gracious about accommodating dietary needs and restrictions which is so welcome due to the Birmingham food scene largely lacking that. The only things that could make them better is gluten free churros on the menu. Try the queso!

I’m from New York and on the way to the airport, I wanted to find a nice brunch spot somewhere near. I saw the reviews and pictures of this place and thought it would be a great place to try. The moment I come in, I already love the vibe of this place. Not only that but our server was very nice and friendly. We got the Farm Breakfast, Smash Burger, and the Royale Sandwich as our mains, along with the gluten-free blueberry muffin. And let me tell you they were absolutely delicious!! We also ordered a Matcha Latte with oat milk and the Golden Monkey Latte, and the drinks were phenomenal. They were so concentrated and the flavours were so rich, it made me love Matcha. Overall as a person who just was looking for something light to eat on the way back home, this was amazing! Anyone near this area must try this place out! I definitely recommend getting the dishes we got but if you wanna try something else I’m probably sure it won’t disappoint. If I am ever back in town I will definitely be coming back!

The syrup is NOT gluten free

Thankful that they offer dietary options, although the staff could be better trained. Was told I could have the Brussel sprouts (coated in soy sauce - "because it was soy based" - I have celiac disease). After spending $32 for 10" rectangular pizza (3 toppings) that was so-so, I'm not keen on returning.

I do takeout just about every week! They will bring it out to your car as well. Salad sampler and garlic chicken along with local kombucha is my favorite!!!!! All gluten free if you get rice as your option with the chicken. Just do it!

Love Wasabi Juans! My husband loves Mexican and I love sushi, so it's a perfect combination. The staff here are great. I have celiac disease and they are very accommodating with the gluten free options and very mindful. Definitely a must to visit Wasabi Juans!

The gluten-free pizza 🍕 was phenomenal 😋

Kimberly Lucas

An amazing dining experience! Dinner with my friends while traveling for work. I had amazing oysters from PEI and the smoked fish dip is next level good. My friend got the pork belly appetizer and loved it. I am gluten intolerant and I had plenty of options and modifications were made available. We all had fish, from Mahi to flounder and everyone was happy. Our server Jonathan was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The bar had good options and my French 75 was well balanced and tasty. Spendy,but worth the splurge. I highly recommend this place!

Madison Smith

My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday. We just came in for a good gluten free dessert and they had a couple of options. Jacob at the bar recommended the flourless chocolate cake. It was wonderful! Super moist and flavorful. I wasn’t planning on having a drink but Jacob recommended a chocolate martini and his version was the perfect twist on the original. I loved it! Service was great. Jacob was very personable and a great conversationalist. Can’t wait to come back for a full dinner! 😊

Ask for Chloe! She was amazing! Food was good! They had a good selection of Gluten free options!!

Robin Puckett

My daughter has Celiac Disease and we told our waiter that she had to have only gluten free food. We even asked if the fries were fried in a separate fryer from the breaded chicken, and he assured us that the fries were fried separately. He led us to believe that he notated the order to make sure no gluten contact could happen. She was up all night sick throwing up, so she clearly was fed gluten. The bill was $93.12 for three people, and wasn’t even that good. It is very disheartening to pay almost $100 for food then be up all night throwing up. I will definitely never return to another Cheesecake Factory and definitely encourage anyone with Celiac Disease never trust eating at one.

Cristy Creates

Repeated my order 3x as he nodded continuously like he heard me the first time but kept getting it wrong. I still got the wrong thing. Asked for crunchy tacos,pork and queso cheese with side of rice. The only thing I got right was the rice and pork. No cheese and had to take meat off the soft shells after I went up and got my cheese. I wouldn't have cared but I can't eat wheat flour. Have to try to eat gluten free due to celiac. It also wasn't good. I could have went to taco Bell and it would have been better. My granddaughters order was all messed up too. We're sweet girls and I don't like leaving a bad review but it is what it is...he also rolled his eyes as I was trying to make sure he'd gotten it right. We spent 30 bucks and left hungry.

Great service, our large group was able to sit relatively quickly. Really good food. Burnin’ Love burger with the fried jalapeño medallions and Chipotle aioli is always a winner with me. Everyone had different dietary restrictions, from no-sugar to gluten free to no dairy to no lots-of-things but everyone was able to eat something delicious.

This is one of my favorite spots in B'ham. As someone who's gluten free, I love the wings and Buffalo cauliflower bites. Service could be better, but it's definitely not a deterrent. You can park across the street at Avondale Park. The atmosphere is laid back and enjoyable.

The best sushi in Birmingham, hands down! Gluten free menu available. You cannot have a bad time here! We often put our names down and grab a cocktail down the street if there is a wait- so always makes for a fun date night! Great to come with 4 people but have also made it with a bigger group! Tables can be accommodating for more- jusy may have to wait- will be worth it!

Paula Ward

Enjoyed my gluten free grilled cheese! My son enjoyed his chicken pesto sandwich. Server was friendly and attentive. The tea was delicious and fresh. Will definitely eat here again!

Bruce Griffin

Fantastic. Some of the best hibachi i've ever had and it can be made gluten free.

Elena Schmitt

Very tasty gluten free bread/breakfast/ Really delicious gluten free bread/breakfast

Riley Zane

The new gluten free bowtie noodles were great! I couldn't even tell that they were gluten free! Definitely will be getting more. Also you can substitute almost any pasta entree dish with the gluten free, so lots of good options for those who cannot eat gluten

We stopped here last night after a basketball game at BJCC. We took a chance that this would be a good place to eat. We were wrong. It was GREAT !!! The pulled pork was very moist and delicious. Not a shred of dryness at all and SO much flavor. The cheese grits are to die for. The greens were very very good. The fried green tomatoes were top notch. Our table had 8 at it. Everyone got something different and everyone loved what they got. Absolutely NO complaints. The wait wasn’t long for the food. Everything was delicious and fresh. I’m from Tuscaloosa and will go up there to eat again just because it’s that good. The service was very good. If you’re going as a large crowd on a weekend night there isn’t much room for a large group. The dining area has booths and a few tables you can push together but those were taken when we got there. They have a bar area with lots of stools. It’s delicious!!! Go there!! They do not disappoint!! Oh- I have celiac and got the grits and greens over grits and it didn’t make me ill at all. Gluten friendly!!

I visited the Hop City location, and was served the best GLUTEN FREE pizza I’ve ever had! When I say you couldn’t tell the bread was gluten free, I mean it had the same crunch, fluff and moisture as alternative breads. I can’t state how amazing this bread was, you’ll have to go try it your self.

Delaney Lewis

Absolutely loved this restaurant! Went out for a girls night and I couldn't have picked a better place. The food was delicious, the staff was very nice and always kept our drinks filled. For those that are gluten free, come try their burgers with the gluten free bun. Us gluten free/Celiacs know how hard it is to find a good bun or meal when eating out and I can honestly say it was the best burger I have had in a long time. Order an appetizer, a delicious burger, a glass of wine and can't forget Limoncello for dessert it will not disappoint!

Vivian Lipscomb

Gluten friendly it is not. If you have celiac you won’t be able to eat here, period. My family decided to eat here because usually Mexican restaurants are easy to navigate with a gluten intolerance. This was probably the most difficult restaurant I’ve ever visited, aside from maybe a bakery. The manager said they recently changed their roasted chicken and it now contains gluten, so there was not a single protein I could eat. That was a challenge I’ve never encountered. The queso had it. Even the ranch dip on the table contained gluten—which I ate prior to the manager letting me know— it never occurred to me ranch might have it. Again, something I’ve never seen before. I will say the staff was extremely nice about it, which is why I didn’t take the review under 3 stars. They even comped my meal for the issues (the first dish they brought out clearly had ingredients the manager mentioned had gluten) and never charged me for the guacamole taco they had to replace it with, which was completely unnecessary but appreciated. If they had just one protein option it would’ve been an completely different experience. I’ve never been to a sit down restaurant where I couldn’t even order a protein—-usually it’s the go to fallback. With it being such a common issue, I hope one day they can try to be just a little accommodating, especially given that it’s widely assumed a Mexican restaurant will have plenty of options.

Smoked salmon sushi was excellent and they have gluten free soy sauce

Robert Sims

We are big fans of the food and service. So we asked them to serve 40 of us for a wedding rehearsal dinner in a delightful upstairs venue. We were able to get appetizers served buffet style and a great array of main courses served to each guest. The open bar, was staffed by Mason, who handles special events. He did a fantastic job in the planning and the pouring. As always, the great EastWest staff helped take wonderful care of all our friends and family. They satisfied our vegan, gluten-free and other needs. Highly recommend for a dinner or a gathering.

When I saw this place for the first time, I knew it would be special! The staff here treat everyone so kindly! One young host named Kelly brought us to our table, and I was shocked that she knew so much about the menu & gluten free options even though she wasn't a waiter! She even checked on us to make sure we liked what she recommended! We ordered a chopped chicken salad (gluten free) and the Rainbow trout! So good! All the unique flavors that they incorporate into their dishes blend so well together! We enjoyed being able to see into the kitchen!! Can't wait to come back!!

Super cute place in downtown bham close to the hospital & campus! I love the acai bowl with pb & Nutella. They also have gluten free granola which is great because I am allergic to gluten.

We have never been to this place and actually never heard of it. Saw it because I was there to visit another business. I am so glad we stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. They are a heavy brunch geared eatery, and I love brunch. So many choices of items and the place was alive and vibrant. Our waitress ( I didn't recall her name) was amazing and on top of every need we had. We came in with a 4 top 3 adults and a kid and got out of there for less than 70$. To me that is a great deal considering the portion sizes and just the general ambiance of the place. We definitely recommend going and checking this place out, if not making it your full time brunch spot. I was also surprised at the vegan and gluten free options! You are missing out not trying at least once!!!

The grilled chicken meal I had there was 10/10. Loved it. I have a gluten allergy and I originally ordered a sandwich, thinking it would be on GF bread since it gave me the option to check off my allergy. Unfortunately, they do not have GF bread. When I arrived they immediately addressed it and said they weren’t sure so they went ahead and made it. Because it is an allergy for me, I did agree to let them make me something else. I chose the grilled chicken with honey mustard, along with the corn cake and slaw. They made it incredibly fast. I was a little disappointed not to have gotten the sandwich at first, but the meal I ended up getting was absolutely delicious! I come to Birmingham pretty often so I will return.

Fleming's is a great place for food and drinks! We love the bartenders here; they are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious, They have a gluten free menu and do a very good job accommodating dietary restrictions. The chocolate lava cake is a must have!!

Low salt dietary concerns? Gluten free? (No wheat). No problem!!! This location is my happy go-to place when visiting Drs in Birmingham!!! My unique, custom orders are always perfect and folks are pleasant!! LOVE Y'ALL!! And I'm not a regular McDonald's food-fan but this location I love!! I sometimes go several months between visits and still the service and quality is always top notch!! Loved my drive thru visit today! Many kudos to all staff!

You can purchase a 14” specialty or custom pizza, or pizza by the slice. They’ve also got a 14” gluten free and 12” cauliflower crust option available for whole pizzas for an extra charge. They have indoor seating at tables or at the bar and an outdoor patio which is dog friendly. Lots of high chairs for the kiddos but no booster seats. Food came out fast and was really good. Very nice area and pleasant atmosphere. I bet the lights on the patio look really nice when it’s dark out. Patio could use more shade for the tables during the hot summer days, perhaps they could add some screens or umbrellas? The bartender wearing crocks (Brandon maybe?) was very courteous and helpful. Would definitely eat here again.

I'm no longer vegan thanks to this place. It will ruin your gluten-free, dairy-free, whatever diet you're on and you won't even care. Take my money and leave me alone to play centipede and gorge on (what is easily) Birmingham best pizza.
