Top 34 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Bloomington

We recently had a great group dinner at Malibu. Excellent experience and fantastic food. I had the Hawaiian Ribeye, my spouse had the salmon- both delectable! Everybody in our group was happy with their choices. Our server, Maddie S. was phenomenal! She served our large table (and many others!) with a smile! Most impressively, was her ability to get our complex orders right with the several modifications we seemed to make in our big group. If Malibu could make any menu updates: I would love to see a few more gluten free options on the menu, as well as some non-alcoholic spirits/mocktails. Thanks!

Good gluten free options, convenient take out. Wish they could update their times when there’s a wait.

It was the first time that I saw all the process of baking pizza 🍕 according to what customers need. I loved the place, the style of baking, asking customers what they needed and add all toppings step by step! They even have gluten free options! They cleaned the area to make sure no gluten add to my dish! I loved their attitude and the attentive staff. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

Terrific place to eat late at night. They offer Gluten Free options!

As someone allergic to most every breakfast food (eggs, dairy, gluten), I struggle a lot when eating at new places. Not only was I able to get gluten-free bagels (that tasted ama-zing), but also a completely vegan breakfast sandwich and an oatmilk coffee! The workers were also very fast and super friendly telling us about more GF places in town. We will definitely be going again!

SO GOOD! Tons of great gluten free options - menu is clearly marked and the staff was knowledgable with recommendations. They even toast the bun so it stays together pretty well. Great drink options and lots of fun mocktail options as well. I had the cowboy chicken sandwich and upgraded to the truffle fries. Both were 10/10. We also ended with the chocolate flourless cake which tasted like a chocolate truffle. So yummy all around. We’ll be back!

SERVICE? Phenomenal FOOD QUALITY? Phenomenal FOOD TASTE? Phenomenal They even have gluten free toast, pancakes, and waffles (although some cross contamination is inevitable, but the best part is that each waiter makes a point of explaining that to anyone ordering it gluten free) and even though it’s gluten free, IT STILL TASTES SO GOOD. I was in Bloomington for two full days and ate breakfast here both days. It was SO GOOD

Lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options. Had some very fresh and delicious spring rolls. Really enjoyed the Pad Thai and beef noodle soup.

Great place for breakfast, awesome Mexican grocery. They make excellent cakes including gluten free ( very good not dry). Ask for Ashley to order a cake, very fast turnaround

I enjoy popping into BJs. Bartenders and servers are always nice. Food is always good. Everyone is knowledgeable about gluten intolerance.

If you have allergies, do not eat here!! I've lived in many places and I've always trusted Red Robin for my allergy safety. In the past two weeks, this location has messed up my order twice in ways that have cast serious doubt upon their allergy protocols. Once I flagged my meal for a gluten allergy and it came out with croutons; the second time I received a delivery order with a side that I had not ordered, and which also contained gluten, despite my having flagged again a gluten allergy. What is most concerning about these instances is that they indicate a lack of training on the part of the kitchen. It's great that they have everything labeled, and that they have the allergy marker -- they really do go further than nearly every other burger spot. But if a line cook is making a burger with a gluten free bun and then puts gluten croutons in the same container, that indicates a lack of education & protocol around food safety. To make matters worse (and what prompted me to write this review), both times, when I contacted the store about solutions (either a refund or remaking the meal, both reasonable), the managers got defensive about their allergy protocols, were not understanding/empathetic about the risk & situation, and made no effort to reassure me that it was a big deal / would not happen again.

I was pleasantly surprised by both the food and service. My wife is gluten-free and they had a dedicated GF menu and made sure she was comfortable with everything. I highly recommend the Viking lamb burger!

!! Vegetarian & Vegan & Gluten Free Options !! I could go on for days about how incredible this place is. I recommended here to all my coworkers and we literally have to refrain from eating here everyday. Here’s what I order.. Yellow Curry with Tofu and extra veggies (comes with fluffy jasmine rice) and Shogo momos (pan fried) with an extra salad. GET THE SAMOSAS!! Yellow Curry is the best I’ve ever had in my life. Not only is it sweet, savory, and filled with fresh vegetables.. it’s portioned to where l have left overs. Momos are hand made, perfectly steamed, and not under seasoned. You can get them pan fried for an extra buck and it’s well worth it. The salad dressing is a perfect blend of refreshing & unique plus the salad is always crisp and fresh. Service is great and the staff is so warm and welcoming. The owner is kind and cares so much about your experience. Whether you are from town or visiting, stop by for lunch or enjoy a casual dinner. Be sure to be mindful of their hours. Big bonus is that take out is just as good as dining in.

Pretty good-tasting food. Deducting a point because the pad thai we ordered did not have any chicken in it at all that we could find. Otherwise pretty good though. Next time maybe we'll order protein-free and add our own later. Also, we are grateful for the gluten-free options; my wife is mostly gluten-intolerant, although she is not celiac.

My wife and I recently went to the Elm for a date night. They have great selection of foods and drinks avaliable. We enjoyed the grilled garden salad and the chicken roulade. Our waitress was amazingly helpful and even had my wifes celiac disease in mind before she came to our table to greet us.

Taylor Pitts

Great food and great customer service!

Brunch & Bingo was amazing! The food was outstanding (especially being Gluten free) and the staff were out of this world! I can't wait to come back!

Diane Ford

I highly recommend this place. It was my first time in Bloomington, Indiana, and this was my first stop. As someone with a gluten allergy, it was great to see the menu clearly listing allergens. The burger I had was hands down the best burger I've ever had. The restaurant had a charming atmosphere, especially with its holiday decorations. I will definitely be coming back soon!

We ordered their veggie pizza on the cauliflower crust (gluten free). It was quite good… hard to believe crust was cauliflower (was just like a regular wheat dough thin crust ). Would definitely order again, though a bit pricey for what you get (my reason for only 4 stars), over $20 for a medium, I could have easily ate the whole thing myself. I’ll be watching for coupons/specials.

So I called an inquired about if they offered gluten free. This is a normal routine before going out to eat with my wife. What was abnormal was after he replied no, an I said ok thanks, the owner said ,” I can run to the strode though!” He not only went to the store but got the brand of bread my wife likes. I couldn’t believe it. He could’ve just said no, an I hung up like it was normal. I myself, got the Italian. It was superb. Really ,really good! I highly recommend these guys.

I LOVE THE ORBIT ROOM. Gourmet hot dogs, craft beer, special non-alcoholic beverages and the sweetest atmosphere. Love their rotating toppings (ahem, last summer they had PICKELD CHANTRELLES) and their thoughtfulness in Vegan and gluten free options. Can’t say enough good things about this special, special spot and the folks that make it exist.

A very bright atmosphere. It seemed pretty hard to hear inside when filled to capacity, so we sat outside. Our server was very pleasant. We had the old fashioned and the lemon drop cocktail. They were fantastic. One dish brought together smokey, sweet and spicy. I ordered the French dip. Both were Amazing hot sandwiches. Although I would like to try other dishes in the future, I would definitely have either dish again. It os really awesome that they partner with Brightside cafe to offee gluten-free vread substitutes with every sandwich.

Dana Farkas

Absolutely delicious! Great gluten free options & staff was knowledgeable. Loved the fries! Ingredients were super fresh. When we went in to pick it up, we met the owner who was great. Husband got the spicy brisket sandwich which he rated 10/10

We always stop here when we visit the lake. The food is good and the kids love to take a dip in the pool. A nice ending to a day on the water. My only request would be to mark the menu to identify GLUTEN FREE options.

Perfect little place on campus to grab a drink and share a meal with friends! Great space, love the old show posters featuring big names who’ve played at the university. Weekly events like trivia and bingo; along with live jazz performances. Vegan, Vegetarian, and some gluten-free options available; as long you as communicate dietary restrictions with the chef, they are usually happy to accommodate to their best ability.

My wife and i went for lunch on a Saturday. It wasn't very busy, maybe eight tables occupied. Our server, Alexis, was attentive but not intrusive. Our food came out quickly. I had a Two Step meat tray with pork and chicken wings, green beans, and fries. It included spicy pickles and a piece of corrnbread, ranch dressing and carrot sticks and celery for the wings. My wife had a pork sandwich with macaroni and cheese. It included the spicy pickles. The pork was fall-apart tender and deliscious. My wife said it was, "maybe the best pork sandwich I've ever had." Chicken wings were tender and smoky, the rub they use is delicious. They have House, Sweet, Spicy, and Alabama White sauces. The cornbread was as tender as I've ever had. Fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The pickles weren't to my wife's liking so I ate hers as well as mine. The green beens were just as I like them, cooked with bacon until they're falling apart. My wife liked the macaroni and cheese although it did have some ingredient that she couldn't identify. Overall an oustanding visit! We'll be going back. Total bill for two, no alcohol or dessert, was $32.40 after tax. Note: some of you who read my reviews might notice that I eat gluten-free. I was diagnosed with a gluten allergy many years ago. Avoiding gluten is my preferred way to eat, but I occasionally consume gluten. I know my limits. The cornbread was not gluten-free. As always, if you are sensitive, be sure and ask your server!
