Top 11 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Experience in Vernon Hills

Rebecca Booden

I am in shock. I have been going to Maggiano's all over Illinois and this one in particular with my son and with my family since the beginning when they opened. We have had baby's showers, Birthday dinners for my son with extended family at the Vernon Hills location and Old Orchard location, wedding showers at other locations. Recently we had out of town guests and a large table that was not a great experience (Vernon Hills) as my brother's other half has a gluten allergy and the waiter hounded her every 3-4 minutes, while she was eating. I should have known better not to go back to this once great neighborhood local eatery. We went in early last night, Saturday night before 5pm to have a quick, quiet meal that was fancy, but definitely not cheap. That didn't happen! They looked at us and judged us because maybe we looked a little casual, but we were wearing very nice clothes and they seated us in the bar area that had no guests yet. They were cleaning the bar out with Green towels, loud glasses and bottles, talking loud, making jokes, clapping like we weren't even there. The manager walked in several times and was talking with staff loudly. We were being ghosted and treated like second class citizens. We left and I was furious. There was a total and utter disregard for us being there. I am still in shock at how poorly we were treated, as if we didn't exist. Maciano's has been our restaurant of choice once a week and they have treated us great and their food is outstanding and now I will continue to give them our business. Shame on you, Let us Not Entertain You! Awful!

Tasty salads, I have a gluten free diet and they have a nice selection of certain salads that are gluten free and taste good.

Went here for lunch after church and it was so delicious! The staff was very helpful in answering questions about what is gluten and peanut free. There was a wide variety and everything was delicious.

Lindsey Schultz

Great addition to Mellody Farm. Have dined and and had takeout. Service is good, restaurant is clean and the gluten free bun is fantastic. Knowledgeable about cross contamination too.

This place is only for those who like flatbreads and salads. No burgers, French fries, chicken tenders, anything for your typical eater. They don’t put anything on the TV. Staff was friendly and food was different, but I had no interest in any of the food on the menu. Limited choices as well. Good for those who are gluten free or vegan I guess.

It's a beautiful well-kept store that has a lot of organic items, gluten-free, and healthy foods. The prices are high but you're also buying good quality foods.

Brandy Taylor

Really good food and service. Quite a few vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.

I chose Feather Glass for a meeting of 13 people, and Purvi (one of the owners) was amazing at helping coordinate a tasting for us. The value of the tasting and nibbles package is SO GOOD. They were also super accommodating to my gluten and dairy free diet and walked me through which snacks were safe. The owners are so nice and really passionate about the wine, just overall we loved the experience.
