Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Iowa

Sredna

Really good service but we didn't really enjoy the food. We ordered off the gluten free menu and pasta didn't taste that great. Ordered the lobster meal but pieces were very small. Substitutions were common because they didn't have what was offered. Overall we felt disappointed in the meals.

This place is a gluten-free haven.

The food is always good and consistent. They are gluten friendly and service is almost always positive.

Jennifer Johnson

Absolutely amazing! So clean and inviting and comfortable! Also I have celiac disease and they accommodate my food allergies. I so appreciate it, this location was awesome!

Cortez Jones

Had the BEST experience here. Trying to find a restaurant that offers a gluten free menu as well as regular with no discernible differences in taste is 1 in a million and buzzard Billy’s is exactly that. Any time we ever come back it will be good at BB. Kristen, Kela and shiree are the best servers EVER!

My chicken chiabatta sandwich was a bit dry and the food selection was limited, but they did have substantial gluten free options. The setting and staff were very nice, making it an overall excellent experience.

Pam Wolf

I’m new to navigating a gluten-free world. The Monarch had so many delicious sounding options! I had a potato soup with smoked Gouda which was amazing. I also shared a beef & broccoli sauté with sticky rice. Delicious!!! Our server was attentive and very pleasant. My Cosmo was generous size and very good. Can’t wait to return!

Nate Hubbard

Great food and customer service. Brittany and her team are wonderful. She has always checked on us when not incredibly busy. Some family has gluten issues and they are always so quick and willing to accommodate with their options for such! Highly recommend and you won’t be disappointed!

Jeena Koenig

A variety of amazing tea options, the jade cloud green tea was really good. Great gluten free sandwich options and the gluten free cinnamon roll was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had. The staff and owner were also very friendly. Highly recommend!

Laura Boenish

Best keto/gluten free food I’ve had!!!

Oryza has become a staple of our Asian food expeditions whenever the desire arises. The primary reason is my wife has Celiac’s and therefore must avoid gluten. Oryza fortunately uses corn based flour, not wheat. This wizardy allows food allergen victims to be able to eat from their diverse menu. Their food preparation is excellent. The atmosphere is chill. The service is fantastic. We’ve had only 1 negative experience and noticed that same server was not employed there for much longer. ANYWAYS- this is a great place for Asian cuisine. The owner is always friendly and recognizes us when we visit.

Sonja Dicken

Cute diner with friendly staff and great food. We went with party of 6, some had breakfast, some salad or sandwich. Everyone enjoyed. I highly recommend the Bluebird juevos as it was excellent. They even had good gluten free pancakes for our celiac group member.

Michelle Julius

Lots of gf options! The manager explained the menu which was clearly marked with many gluten free options. We enjoy the cheese curds from their dedicated fryer. Thanks to the Find Me Gluten free app for helping us find a celiac safe dining opinion in North East Iowa!

Luis Colon

Beautiful, cozy, esay going, clean, delicious food and excellent service. If you're in town, make time to visit. Do come with an empty stomach, servings are on the plentyfull side!!! Great variety of offerings with gluten-free and vegetarian plates as well as local meats.

Shari Damaso

This is our favorite place for tasty affordable pizza that is easy to customize. The gluten-free options are fantastic!

Chad Lansing

Good food and gluten free 😋

Marques Garrett

While it’s not my choice of atmosphere, it certainly serves the clientele. I was thrilled to see the vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free sections on the menu. That makes it super clear and helpful. The service on a Monday night in January was quick and kind. Very grateful

Barbara Foust

I was just diagnosed with Celiac and found your gluten free crust. This may be the best I have tasted including regular. Thanks so much for having something that doesn’t hurt my stomach and is actually great!!!

Shalen & Tiff DeBrower (Tee)

Great place if you have celiac family members!

Jon Popham

Friendly, upbeat staff work well together to deliver great service and great food. Prices are fair and Noodles delivers a good value. Fresh, natural ingredients meld together well to produce a flavor explosion in your mouth! I noticed some pasta offerings that were good for those who are gluten sensitive. Also, they offer ribbon sliced zucchini as a pasta alternative. Protein choices include grilled chicken, Parmesan Crusted chicken, steak, and others. It's not my cup of tea but they even have a plant-based 'chicken.' Overall I was thoroughly impressed and I'll be going back for more.

Kristy Droll

We had a wonderful meal at Tony’s. My daughter has celiac disease and there were so many gluten free options. The GF mozzarella sticks were AMAZING!! So nice to have gluten free options.

Allison Merritt

Great atmosphere and service. However, would not recommend to those with celiac disease despite the gluten free menu options. Clearly was either cooked with gluten containing items and heavy cross contact, or my 5 year old with celiac disease was served gluten pancakes despite confirming and re-confirming.

Cris Manke

Are waitress Cait was fantastic. The food was amazing. They have the best Gluten free buns. The towering onion rings were the best we have ever had. And the signature sauce...omg so good.I highly recommend this place 👌

Maddy Turpin

best place in town to get a gluten free burger :) love how close this place is to my house and the beers are also good too.

Sredna

Loved the gluten free orange chicken here! Plenty of gf options to choose from. They also have cbd/thc infused drinks here. Outside is a large outdoor patio where kids can play too while waiting for food. Very friendly service, we'll be back!

Shad D

Food is good and servers have been friendly. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they got. Sweet potato fries seemed to be a hit. I had a Cartel burger and fries, very good with just enough spice from the chorizo that it had a little kick. There are also gluten free options available if one has the need.

Christine Engelhardt

Went there for the first time. Had the Gluten Free wrap with the Chicken Salad. Wow! Most amazing wrap I have ever had. I will definitely be back.

Heather Turnmeyer

Great food, gluten free bun and vegan burger offered.

Dawn

Pleasant, friendly and good food. All meat and seasonings are GF. The fries are GF and the only item fried in the fryer. There is only one BBQ sauce that is not GF: texas twang. The bread/ buns, cornbread, macaroni salad, and vanilla wafers( topping for the banana pudding) are not gluten free. I don't normally use alot salt, it was a little salty for me but not enough to turn away. I'm celiac, I ordered the 5 bone baby back rib combo with fries. The two non celiac I was with one ordered the same thing I did but hers had corn bread included. The other order was spare rib combo his also had cornbread. They both enjoyed the cornbread. All of us enjoyed the dinners. The meat was very tender and flavorful on its own. We tried several BBQ sauces and the special vinegar seasoning for fries. We took some leftovers home. The staff was super friendly. Took the time to explain their process and what items I could safely eat. They also marked the ticket for my GF meal. After 24 hours no adverse reactions! We will definitely return when in town.

Ellen Beato

I can actually get real gluten free food there and not get sick. Right now the only restaurant I can eat at. A little pricey but really worth it

Sooj S

We go to a lot of different Culvers for their gluten free buns, and this location somehow made it taste the best. The bun was piping hot when it came to us, and it was so soft and moist. It held together until we finished the burgers which wasn't our experience in other locations. It was during the lunch rush but the service was super fast through the drive-thru.

Jacob Miller

Attention Celiacs! A Hidden Gem for Fresh, Gluten-Free Eats After a trip to Colorado, I was craving the perfect grain bowl—and I stumbled upon this place. Think of it as a guilt-free Chipotle! I ordered the Fiesta Bowl, and my wife got a similar dish. Everything was fantastic—the portion sizes were generous, the ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were spot on. I’m honestly surprised I hadn’t heard of this place before, but I’ll definitely be back!

Christeen

Nice deli, food was good. We tried it out since it showed they had Gluten-free options. The menu states it's gluten free options are not for Celiac individuals. We had a Celiac person with us. They have baked potatoes, which was a good option for our Celiac individual. I'm just not sure how much cross contamination there is. So overall, it's not the best option if you have Celiacs.

A RebornLife

Heath is an incredible waiter. Great service. Gluten free availability including gluten free fries! Suggestions: gluten free onion rings.

JadeTigerMom

One of the only places my daughter can eat, because of her food allergies with soy and gluten, she absolutelyloves their Quesadillas and bowls! I really like their buffalo chicken burritos, sooo good! Only downside is they have but two locations in Cedar Falls and Waterloo, PLEASE make your next one in Waverly or better still Shell Rock 😉

ND Yutzy

The food was great and they have good gluten free options. The waiter was just ok but the hostess (I believe her name was Rachel) was great. The kind of person that keeps you going back. Not a huge fan of the all open floor plan restaurants but the food was good enough it's not a deal breaker. Would definitely go back when we're in the area again.

Trudie Derenne

Sofia was so great and really listened to my concerns of having gluten free food due to having celiac disease. She was very kind and service was great

Brett Giberson

Great food! Excellent gluten free options. Awesome location. We will be back!

Carter Folkers

My girlfriend has celiac and did not get sick from the food. Good service and food, highly recommended!

Jennifer Marcus

This isn't a fancy style reseraunt but for something quick on the go that has non dairy and wheat free options, this is a nice place to stop. I enjoy eating the pad Thai with rice noodles since I don't eat wheat or gluten. Low cost for a good portion size and tastes good.

TravelbugUSA

We had a lovely meal at Table 23. The pork chop and pistachio crusted salmon were delicious! Our server Mackenzie was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Very well informed on celiac disease and gluten sensitivities. We definitely will stop back next time we are in town.

Patrick Leitzen

This is an excellent place with fantastic service. They offer a gluten-free menu for those with dietary restrictions. Had a phenomenal experience there recently on a family outing, and Shannon, our server, truly went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. If I could put six stars in the 'service' category, I would.

Diane Schoneman

Best breakfast we've ever had!!! The Gluten-free pancake was awesome, service awesome!!! Would highly recommend!!!!

Pamela Deitrick

We especially appreciate the gluten sensitive choices.

Casey Kuhl

I'm not a gluten-free person, but the gf dark chocolate raspberry was superb!

Virginia k Schwartz

Excellent food and service. Gluten free buns available.

Daniel Pasche

Excellent food and service. They had a buffet price to accommodate gluten free which is important because I have Celiac.

Tami Groth

Great food and service. We love their truffle fries, and appreciate their gluten free and vegetarian options.

Robbyn Allen

Gluten free pizza was good. Buffet had a lot of choices besides pizza. Soft serve ice cream was a nice treat.

Cassidy Murray

Everything here is top notch. I can’t wait to go back. The fresh, fabulous flavors, beautiful and unique setting and wonderful service from Neel, can’t be beat. As a Celaic it was so great to learn the whole kitchen here is flourless and everything gluten free!! So grateful to have found this gem before they close for the season!
