Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Clearwater

Food was awesome. I had the Great White which is like a super margherita pizza. My wife and mother-in-law had their gluten-free pizzas and they loved it. Our server Tyler was fantastic.

Best meal I've had in a long time! Great place! Loved all the seating options. We ate outside on the closed off street. Lots of stuff to look at inside and it was fun just walking to the hostess stand from the back parking lot. Fun cocktail menu. We got a Pearflower w/St. Germaine liquor and an El Diablo w/jalapeños & tajin. I tried some of a Honey Apple Crisp(?) that was also quite tasty. Tons of beer & wine offerings as well. Exceptional food quality. Super professional staff. Great place for special diets. Good place for kids. Outside is dog friendly. Very excited about their gluten-free menu. The server accommodated my special requests no problem ... But didn't write anything down. The Thai Salad I ordered off the GF menu came out with crispy wonton crunchies on top. When I asked the (very professional) food runner if it was GF, he just said they told him bring the Thai Salad to our table. Since the crispy wonton wrappers could easily have been GF crispy delights, I ate one. After all, I DID order it off the GF menu and DID explain I had Celiac disease and what that is. It tasted too good. (If my food had actually been gluten free, it would have been a 5-star experience.) The waiter came to check on us, apologized, took the salad back & brought a new one. When the GF salad was NOT GF, I should have asked if the dressing had soy sauce in it but ... I did get an immediate reaction in my mouth from the glutens. Still waiting on the gut reaction. We got the African Curry w/cauliflower crisps. My wheat-allergic sistuh ate them w/no problems, but I was sus and only took a bite. The Surf& Turf was cooked perfectly. Scallops & shrimp were absolutely perfect. Steak was delectable & melt-in-your-mouth texture. 5 stars on that! Got the lamb kabobs & grilled oysters for appetizers. Also cooked to perfection. Just great dinner, despite being poisoned every so briefly.

I came here with my girls for an early Galentine’s Day. One of my girls had to cancel last minute at 11 PM the night before. Our reservation was at 10:00 AM. We were just going to eat the cost since it was late notice. They were very kind to waive our cancellation fee and didn’t charge us for the spot. I made sure to make it up in gratuity! One of my girls is gluten free and was asked if it was okay if their food was served on the tiered tower with the other foods. The tea room is pretty big and can sit several parties. We did the Afternoon Tea Experience. We each chose a tea and got a personal pot of it to ourselves! It was more than enough. I got the white strawberry basil but I actually enjoyed my friend’s white peach more. The starter salad was refreshing. You get 1 and a half sandwich. The egg salad on croissant was super yummy and the cucumber cream cheese is a tea time classic. The scones were soft and weren’t as hard as normal scones were. It was almost like a cookie texture which I enjoyed greatly. I was stuffed and couldn’t even get to the top tier with desserts. I took most of my pasteries home. Our group was actually the loudest (sorry other guests!). Our timing was perfect because as we were leaving a birthday party arrived and of course was louder than our small group. Go early! Overall it was a fun tea time themed experience! It’s more fun to dress up. I would go again and would recommend the experience to everyone.

Our daughter has celiacs and we were told the corn chips were in a separate fryer and fries were GF but they must not be. As we lay in the hotel with her hoping not to have to take her to the hospital. I would avoid if you have a gluten allergy.

Michelle Rosa

Food was delicious and service was great. We sat on the patio and loved the atmosphere. Very knowledgeable about gluten free and had a menu with a lot of choices!

Ali Fox

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to our waiter tonight. First time going out and having to be gluten free. Thank you for your assistance and gluten-free menu. The food was amazing and your patience and help was amazing.

Jessica Martinez

I tried this place while visiting. The food was good. I ordered the loster ravioli. I think it would have been better if it had a little more sauce. I ordered dessert. I liked that they also had gluten-free pasta available.

Just Jules

Every time I come the service is good and I like that they have gluten free bread available. The last time I came I was with my mother who ordered the blue crab and shrimp burger 10/10 shes says, lots of flavor and a perfect serving size for lunch. I ordered the Grillsmith burger, cooked how I like it served with the gluten free bread. We both made substitutions to our orders and the kitchen had no problem accommodating our picky needs! We will be back! 😋

Delaney Dean

Came in for some after church lunch and our server Jon was great! Super Intentive and made sure my food was safe for my gluten allergy😊

Adam Lock

Good food and gluten free options although quite pricey. The biggest concern is a lot of menu items say "market" against their price and "market" invariable means super expensive.

Nicole ORourke

A great place to eat and enjoy the view of the beach. The server didn't seem like she was able to keep up as much, I think mayne she was given too many tables, but other than that it was a wonderful experience. They also have a gluten free menu and have vegan options as well

leo coward

was a rough start with not being greeted by a server for quite some time, but once a server, Jacquelin, noticed, she made sure everything was perfect for us. Even ended dinner with some AMAZING dessert. 10/10 food, 10/10 waitress. phenomenal gluten free options.

Paul Gasner

Upscale vibe and great food! They even have Gluten free bread!!! Love this place for a nice dinner out, anniversary or fun group get together.

Anna Higgins

If you have celiac or a gluten allergy make sure to be extremely cautious when eating here. I ordered the gluten free tacos with corn tortillas and I was given flour. After noticing they didn’t look like corn I asked the waitress and she assured me they were…. upon taking a bite I knew they were definitely flour so I called her back over and said they are definitely flour. They did quickly make me new ones however there was no apology or free drink or anything. I’m extremely disappointed as I was sick and throwing up due to my allergy.

Pamela Jeffery

I always like visiting Jason's Deli locations when I am near. I ordered a turkey sandwich with mozzarella on GF bread. Due to Celiac disease, the GF bread is a must and not an option. When they brought out my sandwich, I saw that it had been toasted. As someone very sensitive to cross-contamination, I did send it back and ask for it not to be toasted for dietary purposes. It was quickly remade and was delicious.

Misty Patterson

I have celiac disease and was skeptical about ordering from here. I called the store and spoke with Mason the manager to let him know about my order before placing. He has personally taken it upon himself to handle every one of my orders. His thoroughness, attention to detail, his responsiveness and the way he goes above and beyond will definitely keep me a customer for life. I can't say enough about Mason and his team in clearwater! 5 stars!!!

Claudia Schreiner

Pizza very tasty! Gluten-free pizza on offer. We ordered a 14” pizza per person. Was way too much. We only managed half. Very expensive at $27 per pizza!

Jorge Amalbert

Best gluten free pizza with peperoni and green olives!

boaimo

Customer Service was excellent. Food was top Notch. Half of the family is Gluten Free- and the gluten free options were awesome! The dedicated frier for the French fries was a bonus IYKYK. The other half of the family ordered regular, non gluten free meals and they were delicious as well. Glad to have found an establishment that caters to gluten free and non gluten free people, equally. Would dine here again!

Linda Kerby

Food and service was wonderful. Stacey was very polite and cheerful. I would like to see some gluten free bread and pasta in the menu.

Kacey Luensman

Food and service was great and fast. I got the tikka masala with lamb, it was delicious. Also got the Manchurian and veg platter for appetizers, very good. Had a lot of gluten free and vegan options as well. Will be back!

A good sports bar in downtown Clearwater. They even serve gluten free pizza.

Erin

I had an appointment at Morton Plant hospital in the morning, I googled breakfast place near me, found Wildflower cafe so I came for the first time it was small cute place. I was seated quickly, but it was busy and a little loud, I was greeted a min after by a very lovely waitress who was absolutely awesome! I received my oj, tasted fresh no pulp, I was happy, I ordered the gluten free deep dish vegetable quiche came with side of fruit, it was delicious! However I did think for the price I had paid for the portion seemed a little to be desired?! I thought for $15 dollars I would have expected two pieces or one large piece of quiche ?! After I left I was hungry an hour later. I would have preferred a bigger portion instead of insulting me thinking 🤔 (go on a diet, stupid). Food was really good, tasted fresh, but for the quantity, wasn’t worth the price tag.

Tom SheA

Like that they have gluten free options.

Lisa McGinnis

So deceiving! This gluten friendly viby spot looks like a dive bar from the outside but it’s so not! The service was AMAZING and they accommodated our gluten sensitivity and made us the most amazing cinnamon waffles. Upscale drinks and DELICIOUS brunch. Don’t sleep on this restaurant/bar;)

Pamela M

If you have a gluten allergy, DO NOT eat here. Even if you order gluten free bread, they will give you regular bread. I made a takeout order that explicitly stated gluten free toast, but was given regular toast. I called about 2 bites into it and they confirmed that the bread I was given wasn't gluten free. Then they tried to tell me it was my fault because I didn't mark off having a gluten allergy. It's reasonable to expect that I would be given gluten free bread when I ordered gluten free bread. Their website has allergen information published. I was told I would be refunded and a manager would contact me. Neither happened, so I'll just dispute the charge with my credit card company. I did get sick from their negligence. I would NEVER eat here again.

Cami Dittmar

Food, service and ambiance were all spot on! Not sure why this place is not rated higher! We were given complimentary Edemame to start that was deliciously seasoned. Then we had the Crab Rangoon, Bone Marrow, and Brussel Sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were my favorite of the 3 appetizers! The others were good but the Brussel sprouts were amazing!!! Then we had the Alaskan Roll and the Chicken Ramen (substituted ramen for rice noodles as I’m gluten free). The chicken Ramen/rice noodles were excellent! The egg was sooo good! It was marinated in soy sauce and cooked perfectly! It melted in your mouth! We also ordered a bottle of wine and to Our surprise it was wine Wednesday so we received 50% off our bottle! Our waitress Kelby was so sweet and very attentive! Thank you Ocean Hai for a great dining experience!

Went there everyday while on Clearwater Beach. Many gluten free options!

Jennifer Steidl

I am in Florida for the first time on a business trip. While here I was able to go out in the evening and visit Clearwater Beach and Pier 60. My coworker and I were looking for a place for dinner, and walking down the street we saw the Spotted Donkey. I am so glad we chose this place! Very fresh great quality food and the flavors were amazing. Even their table salsa had a creamy texture from blended peppers, and was rich and delicious. I got mahi fish tacos on white corn tortillas, it came with rice, black beans, guacamole, fresh tomatoes, and sour cream on the side. The black beans were absolutely divine, best I've ever eaten. The fish tacos were delicious; The mahi was very fresh, and cooked perfectly, nice and tender with a nice char. My coworker got a vegetarian burrito, it was absolutely huge, and he was unable to finish it.. The service was outstanding. A big shout out to our server Juvi who delivered such genuinely warm, friendly service and checked on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you On a sidenote, they do have a completely separate gluten-free menu, which I very much appreciated.

Rachael Yong Yow

Service was incredible. Nothing like being greeted with a smile the whole way through your meal. We just went for apps and drinks. Food was great. They had GLUTEN FREE CLAM CHOWDER. Prices were reasonable. Would return for a full meal next time I'm in town.

Claudia Schreiner

At the top you have a beautiful view. Gluten-free options, such as burger buns, on offer. You have to ask for the gluten-free menu. Service was curt and not very attentive. Taste OK.

Frances Stepp

Jon Oliver

The food is great and they are very knowledgeable about celiac disease. Although they don't have a gluten-free menu, the staff and chefs are willing to work with you to find safe options. They go above and beyond to make sure you can enjoy their delicious food comfortably.

Doctor Mentary

The ship has sailed on this cookie cutter chain. Going to this restaurant feels like going to a birthday party you're excited about, but there's a clown, it's really loud, the cake sucks with disappointing icing, and the mother running the party is inattentive and drinking in the garage. Plan to wait a long time for a very disappointing meal that tastes a bit like frozen dinner fare. Gone are the days of new and exciting recipes and here to stay are nickel and diming practices trying to cut back on the all little things. The little things are what makes a restaurant great though. It's unfortunate because a long time ago I remember having a couple of meals here that were pretty good. Of course my memory might be jaded and I probably over romanticized the food. Still, for this many people trying clamor into the door of a tired chain restaurant, somebody should speak up and tell people that the jig Is up and it's time to find a new restaurant. Luckily they still offer a couple of gluten-free cheesecakes which is their one Ray of Hope. It's hard to cater to today's digestive issues and this restaurant does very little to help customers who can't eat wheat. From now on when we pass by this place we will look at each other in the eyes and remember the days of old when the Cheesecake Factory was a place to go and enjoy food.

My colleague and I were visiting the Clearwater area from Houston, TX and decided to stop by Abe’s Place for dinner. Walking in, the host was very professional and was able to seat us in under 5 minutes, which was impressive for 7PM on a Friday night. The atmosphere was fun and a little quirky. The lights were not too bright and not too dark. The TVs had the Rays game on and a golf tournament (my 2 favorite sports). They also had a TV showing specials and jokes. The crowd was a good mix of families, friend groups, and couples. I have a food allergy and cannot eat gluten. I ordered the Cajun Burger with no bun. It was filling and flavorful (normally gluten-free options are sad and disappointing). The pickles were delicious, which seems like a small thing but it’s not. Fries were perfectly crispy. While we were eating, another customer made a scene. Think your classic Karen Facebook video. Tears. Yelling. Guilt tripping. The whole 9-yards. All because she ordered a double top-shelf margarita and did not want to pay the top shelf price. She was “a tequila drinker and knew better”. Management was able to defuse the situation and she eventually left. My interaction with Clayton, the manager, was nothing but positive and feel he respected and listened to the customers. If you are able to request a server. I cannot recommended Cassidy enough!! Cassidy delivered the level of service that everyone expects from a restaurant. She was personable and made sure our evening was great. Exceptional service all while having a “Karen” in her section. When my colleague and I were finishing our meal, she asked if we wanted anything else to eat or drink. Feeling inspired, we ordered margaritas. 2 for like $8! What a deal! I will be returning to Abe’s the next time I am in this area.

Bob Panunzio

My gluten-free pizza was good but it was very expensive I do pay a little bit more for my food but this was quite a bit and I don't like to check out with charge card I don't like to be asked if I want to tip

ria atkinson

riri's Filipino Cassava Cravings will be here until 1 pm or until sold out! Don't miss out on our delicious gluten-free Cassava Cakes!"

Antonio Souchet

Great for couples, business lunches, and large families, with family size portions of South American Latin cuisine. Gluten free options

Madelyne Dhimes

I’ve been here once before and had better treatment. I was not pleased with my most recent visit. I had waitress (Fran) who was passive aggressive and seemed bothered by me. No smile, no welcoming energy. I get it, was an hour before close and she was tired but this is a customer service job and requires a good attitude. I asked to get the birthday discount at the end of my meal and she said they don’t do birthday discounts but I had an email with $15 off my order. That’s was very disappointing especially because I was celebrating my birthday on my own. Then I asked if I could get a refill on my drink (since she hadn’t taken the initiative to do so like normal waitress would) she said they closed down the machine. When I was eating she came by and I could hear her say in a passive aggressive tone “oh, you’re not done yet” like she was in a hurry to get me out. I was not the only customer in there nor the last to leave and no one else seemed rushed by the other waitress. I guess I had the misfortune of being served by Fran. As far as the food, great as ever. No complaints on that. I’m also gluten free and had no problem with the sea food boil. Make sure not to get fries if you are celiac or gluten sensitive as there is no dedicated fryer.

Caleb Barlow

One of the best restaurants I’ve found in the Clearwater area! And what I love is that they have plenty of gluten free items marked on the menu

Chester Lord

Brooke Maher

I went today for the first time and I had Kinsey as my waiter. I have celiac and she was very knowledgeable on which items on the menu were safe for me to eat. She even gave me a gluten free menu. She was very good at checking in on us as well!

Paula Collins

I ate here 2 nights of the 3 nights I stayed at the resort. The first night, the food was very good, and the service was good, which is why I elected to eat there a second night. I ordered a few of the items that my sister and I had ordered the previous evening. Can I say consistency is not the strong point in the Latitude 28 kitchen? The tempting Greek salad my sister had the night before came without items described on the menu and other ingredients in sparse amounts. I am gluten-free. Although the waiter assured me most things could be made gluten-free, I found this not to be the case. The menu selections are limited for those who need to eat free of gluten. The first night I had the grilled octopus, Moroccan Spiced Stone Grilled chicken, Brussel sprouts, and the mango sorbet for dessert. Y'all...the octopus was amazingly good...excellent! It was fork tender, seasoned well, and served on a bed over top sweet potato purée. Without a doubt it is the best octopus I have eaten anywhere. The chicken was well cooked, but just okay when it came to tantalizing the palate. The kitchen substituted the couscous for roasted fingerling potatoes due to my gluten intolerance. The second evening, in addition to the "not the same" Greek salad, I re-ordered the octopus, and my sister ordered the Brussel sprouts prepared gluten-free. The Brussel sprouts fell into the category of "not the same." They were a disappointment. Lastly, the sorbets are the gluten free dessert option. The mango sorbet is okay, but don't order...never order...the tasteless, ice crystal infused pomegranate sorbet.

Always goodand plenty of gluten free choices. Two for one drinks all day

Paul Bachmann

This is the very first Hooters. With this year being their 40th Anniversary, make sure you pay them a visit. I loved their friend pickles. Gluten Friendly.

Kelsey Frease

Cozy family dinner spot. We will definitely go back. The hot sauce was top notch. So many gluten free options. I had the mega sope. My husband had the enchiladas. Authentic for sure. The pico is a must.

Bryce Alexander

Best Thai food anywhere. Friendly service. Very knowledgeable about gluten free, as well. Often go out of my way to visit.

Thomas Loftus

As a lifelong Hulk Hogan fan, I had eagerly anticipated this visit. Hogan's Hangout, owned and frequented by the wrestling legend himself, was a bucket list destination for me. However, upon entering the restaurant, I couldn't help but notice that the Hulkster's iconic wrestling career was somewhat understated in the décor. While it had a welcoming and spirited sports-themed atmosphere, I had expected a more extensive display of wrestling memorabilia and references to Hulk Hogan's illustrious career. Our server, Kelly, deserves special praise. On only her second day, she provided impeccable service. Hailing from upstate New York, she was a delightful host, checking in on us frequently and even making sure my gluten-free mother-in-law's dietary needs were met. Her attentive and friendly demeanor earned her a well-deserved 10/10 rating. However, I feel compelled to return to my initial point about the lack of Hulk Hogan theming. I believe it could have added an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. For instance, menu items could have been given catchy wrestling-inspired names, like "24 Inch Python Wings" or "Hulkster's Slammin' Ribs," to immerse diners in the world of the wrestling legend. Now, let's dive into the food review. We began our meal with the chicken buffalo dip, served with multicolored chips. While the first batch of chips tasted slightly stale, the buffalo dip was an absolute revelation. It was a culinary masterpiece, a perfect blend of chicken, buffalo sauce, and cheese. It truly deserves a "chef's kiss" and is the best dip I've had in quite some time. I wholeheartedly recommend it. For my main course, I ordered the 499 Ribs. These succulent ribs lived up to their reputation of being fall-off-the-bone goodness. The portion was substantial, and the accompanying BBQ sauce was a flavor explosion. I opted for mashed potatoes instead of fries, but they arrived slightly under-seasoned and lukewarm. While they were creamy, they lacked that extra kick of flavor. Consequently, I rate my dish a 4/5 and recommend it, but with a preference for the fries. My husband's choice, the King of the Sea, was surprisingly worth every penny. The dish included four shrimp, four scallops, a piece of grouper, and a generous serving of Alfredo sauce. He thoroughly enjoyed dipping the toast into the Alfredo sauce, proclaiming it "good AF." His verdict was a perfect 5/5, and he wholeheartedly recommends this dish. My mother-in-law, a burger enthusiast, ordered the house burger without a bun, opting for cheese and bacon, accompanied by a side of mayonnaise and ketchup. She found the burger to be decent but wished for more gluten-free options on the menu. Her rating for the burger stands at 4/5, with a minor suggestion for an extra dash of seasoning. To sum up, our overall experience at Hogan's Hangout was pleasant. The atmosphere was vibrant, the food was delicious, and the prospect of occasionally spotting Hulk Hogan himself, given his proximity to the establishment, added an extra layer of excitement. Additionally, the opportunity to purchase memorabilia from his nearby store, with an extended range of clothing sizes up to 5XL, and the potential for surprise visits from other wrestling superstars and celebrities, make this place an even more appealing destination. Whether you're a dedicated Hulkamaniac or just someone who appreciates excellent food, I encourage you to visit and support Hulk Hogan's establishment. It's a great place for both fans and those seeking a delightful dining experience.

Utah Kinsey

Hands down some of the best steak and eggs, coleslaw, and danishes I've had the pleasure to eat! My girlfriend appreciated the gluten free bread for her chicken salad. The vibes/ decor were everything a classic American diner should strive for- from the velvet clown paintings to the cheekily autographed celebrity head shots. If Guy Fieri hasn't been here yet, he needs to ASAP! Our server Chloe was so kind and fun to chat with! We will be back again tomorrow tbh.

Terry Wermuth

Ordered the Shawerma, requesting pita to be removed because I am gluten-free, For myself lamb and beef are an ingenious meat combination. For some reason, commercially wheat is put in the gyro meat 🍖 🫣. Carrying on the dish came out, looking quiet, decadent. Fries were cooked to order and lightly seasoned, salad was fresh and delightful, and the shawerma did not last long on my plate. Grape leaves were good. Service was fast and had good vides.
