Top 35 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.

My family has been enjoying Azzip for years! Whether we are picking up or eating there, it is our favorite place for a quick and delicious lunch. Plus, everyone can get exactly what they want ... deep dish, thin crust, gluten-free, vegetarian, etc. A special thank you to the staff, who always goes above and beyond to be friendly and accommodating!

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

Came to visit my sister at school and wanted to eat somewhere local for lunch but had to be able to eat gluten and dairy free, Gable’s Bagels was a hit!! The gluten free bagel was SO good and I’m thankful this was an option! The staff was very friendly and we will definitely return on our next visit!

Dana Farkas

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

Lucas Fisher

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

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.

We just discovered the Good Morning Breakfast House attached to La Bodega on Sunday morning and were blown away by how delicious our breakfast was! The negative reviews about the food don't seem to be recent, so I'm wondering if they got a new chef or made other changes. Anyway, we ordered the Spinach & Tomato Benedict (no bacon as we don't eat meat) and the Veggie Skillet (without cheese), which came with 4 triangles of French Toast. The Hollandaise sauce was incredible, the hash browns were perfectly crispy without being greasy, the veggies were fresh and cooked just right, the French toast was airy and fluffy, and the coffee was smooth. We both agreed that this was the best local breakfast in Bloomington. Our server (David) was friendly and attentive, and the price was quite reasonable, particularly with the generous portions. I wish we had thought to take a picture, but we can do that next time as we'll most certainly be returning. Also, the bodega includes vegan and gluten-free treats and desserts, which we plan to try at a future visit!

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.

Ethan Kerns

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!

Audre Brink

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!

Sed

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.

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.

Tay

Went today and loved it! The staff were so nice, patient and helpful. This place is very inclusive to food allergies and intolerances. My partner and I are both gluten and dairy intolerant. This place is also dog friendly which is the biggest and best perk!

Rachel Robertson

The Best View on Lake Monroe!! Gluten-Free & Vegetarian options.The food & drinks were good and the service was friendly.

Sarah Ely

Great place to eat. Good deal for a buffet lunch. Vegan and gluten free desserts as well. Cat fish was the best that I have had in a while.

Kate L'Heureux

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.

Everything about this place was top notch. We had a group that can be a little overwhelming but they handled it like a champ!!! Such great service and amazing food. I also appreciate the gluten free options!!!

Savoring smoky meat paired with kind service. I highly recommend you stop in weekly. They even have a gluten free dessert. I came for lunch but also ordered to take home dinner the last time I was in.

If you’re looking for some Hoosier nostalgia, Nick’s is the place to be. The bucket-o-fries was a great starter for the table, spicy with a nice aioli. You can’t go wrong with the Stromboli. Plenty of pickles! The black bean burger is available on a gluten free bun, which was tasty. Definitely a great college town hang out. If you’re looking for something more upscale, visit Nick’s sister restaurant Osteria Rago, which is one of our favorites in Bloomington. This is an independent, uncompensated review.

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!
