Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Annapolis

Emily Mooney

We ended up here on a whim the day of the fall festival. It was crowded but we were seated very quickly. The service was great and was completely unaffected by how packed it was. They had gluten free options available (even dessert, which is rare). I had a BLT on a gluten free bun AND a gluten free strawberry shortcake. I will absolutely be back.

We are not from the area and we're traveling through. We ended up not being able to stop for dinner until 11:00 p.m. on a Sunday night. Good luck finding anywhere to eat at that time!! West End Grill was one of the few places that was open. I have a severe gluten allergy, and they had a separate gluten-free menu and separate gluten-free fryer. I got the burger with no bun and hand cut homemade French fries. It was awesome! My husband had the homemade jalapeno poppers and bought another order to go. They were amazing! For being a Sunday night at 11:00 p.m. the place is actually pretty packed, and the service was great! I'm so glad we were able to find the West End Grill and definitely will go there again on our way through the area. Highly recommend!

I took my family tonight for restaurant week. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server came over quickly and was attentive but not too much. The menu was extensive and the choices were outstanding. My young grandson was with us who needed a gluten free option. The server was able to help with an excellent option. The food was great as was the service. We all highly recommend Luna Blu and we will be going back again in the near future.

Hot and fresh gluten-free donuts! Not sure about cross-contamination but you can choose any of the flavor combos they offer for the donuts. One donut is the perfect size for a little treat!

I love it, and they do have many gluten free options. Thank you guys

Kevin Wanamaker

This place is great. The food is amazing and so is the service. For gluten free, they have many options - including the Brazilian cheese bread. The salad bar items are marked for which are GF. Our gaucho Robert went above and beyond to make sure we had plenty of the meat we were interested in. We received excellent service from everyone else as well. I highly recommend this place. Just be prepared to leave full.

Brandon Deener

Gluten free! I find myself in the shopping center a lot out of food options so tried this spot. I got the Aloha chicken and they were extremely nice in making the pineapple grilled instead of battered and taking the soy sauce away. The best part was the gluten free bread, it was the best I’ve had in Annapolis. Can’t wait to go back and try some more.

Enjoyed a wonderful evening of food & wine with family during Annapolis Restaurant Week. Service & food ( Rest.Wk Menu) 5🌟...pleasant, efficient service. Food freshness & delicious variety of choices. Gluten-free bread option was available upon request. Chocolate Dulce fondue desserts were yum yum yum! Plan on 2 to 2.5 hours of conversation while enjoying your 4 course meal. Checkout their menu - so many choices! We loved it all & recommend it.

Our server, Erin, made us feel like we were not a burden even though 5/6 of us were gluten free and three of us have celiac disease, typically rendering eating out very unsafe, if not impossible. Rafael, the chef on duty that day, came to talk to us and custom made pretty much all of our meals to ensure they were celiac safe. I want to shout from the rooftops so other celiacs will give Maggianos a try. It only took about 20 minutes for our food to come out, too. Custom made celiac safe Mac and cheese and he even made a custom sauce so that the chicken piccata would be safe for me (I have celiac and a corn sensitivity). I was so impressed and we all left feeling like it was a life changing experience to have such a nice restaurant to be able to go to when we want to go out to dinner. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Maggianos Annapolis! We will be back over and over!!!

Laura

The experience was great! I went there with my family and we got a table right when we walked up to the entrance, the staff were very friendly, and the food was very good. All the dishes came out pretty fast. They have a delicious gluten-free pizza!

Daniel Hulter

Great spot, very accommodating to celiac (gluten free) options. Delicious, quick, solid sushi and drinks

Kimberly S

I gotta give this place a review! The management team is absolutely phenomenal!! We’ve ordered takeaway from this location multiple times, and even though the first 2 times the orders did get somewhat messed up, the team did right by us, were very accommodating and fixed everything right away. My husband also has a severe gluten allergy, and this is one of the only places in the Annapolis area we feel safe eating! When I call to place an order and ask for a manager, they are *so* incredibly kind and helpful even though our food has to be prepared in a very specific way. I know in food service it can be a pain to deal with customers who have such specific requests to make sure the food isn’t cross-contaminated, but they go above & beyond for us every time to make sure our food is prepared safely, correctly & deliciously! I can’t say enough great things about Holly, Sarah and the rest of the team. Great food, and even better people. Thank you guys so much! And for anyone else that has celiac or a gluten allergy, knowing it can be nearly impossible to find safe & reliable places to eat - this is your spot!

When it's lunch time, the wait in line can be s-l-o-w. I waited 20 min last visit. Pizza is tasty & fresh with ample choices including gluten crust & dairy free cheese. Pleasant employees working there. Seating is comfortable. Recommended.

Kay G

Very pretty restaurant with attentive waitstaff. It's a bit pricey, but has an extensive wine and alcohol list. No vegan meals and really only 1 choice for vegetarian "meal", which was a salad. I realize it is a seafood restaurant, but would live to see a more inclusive menu. There was a gluten free menu, which was great.

S Conley

The food was hit or miss. 4 adults and 1 child had dinner there. 2 meals were not very good at all the others were ok. Of course the cheesecake was rich but good and I was happy they had 1 type that was gluten free.

Charlee Boone

the food is good, our Italian friend always wants to go here and says it's as authentic as you get around there. ive only been for lunch a handful of time but its usually not crowded. some vegetarian options, not many vegan or gluten free.

Grace L

Great breakfast! They had both indoor and outdoor seating available, and seated us right away. They had symbols on the menu to indicate what was gluten-free friendly. They also had dairy-free creamer. I got the angry pig omelet and an iced coffee.

Patricia Sacks

Great BBQ food. Plenty options for gluten-free food.

Sanjay Das

Excellent food. The spiced rice was brilliant, especially with garlic sauce. Am vegetarian gluten free; so the falafel with spiced rice and a little garlic sauce: brilliant!

Jacob Wernicke

We have recently rediscovered Noodles and Company and it has become a go-to for our family. Their variety of options to include vegan and gluten free, makes it a place everyone can find something.

Ginger Andrews

Yummy and wonderful food. Gluten free options and gluten free bakery treats.

Jesspaul Nibber

I was really happy with the personal pizza I ordered, especially being that it was gluten free too 👏 I couldn't help but to order an afogatto with a chocolate gelato mixed in 😵‍💫

Heidi Peters

My husband and I had an amazing dining experience while visiting Annapolis. Both managers Mike and Nick were so friendly and accommodating. Our waitress Taylor provided excellent service and offered great suggestions from the menu. I loved that they had their own gluten free / vegan menu. There were so many choices and my meal was perfection. There is something for everyone. My husband loved his meal and made room for a delicious dessert. The service was fast , the atmosphere great and the staff was top notch . We are already talking about going back tomorrow. :)

kim haines

I will never again pay $32.00 for a very small gluten free cheese pizza, two house salads with Italian dressing.

Jennifer Mallo

3 diners, 6 small plates, 2 of us had drinks. It was good, not great, but good. Portion size was appropriate. 3 sea scallops nicely seared on the sea scallops plate-- very good. The cauliflower steak was seared with cajun spices. Taste was good, but cauliflower was undercooked. The red beans and rice underneath cauliflower was delicious. Food came out when it was ready and at a good speed. Server was no where to be seen towards the end of the meal. We had to go find them. Management staff was excellent and responsive when there was a concern that we didn't like something. The labeling on gluten free was labeled "gluten sensitive". Both our party and the nearest other party had to ask what that meant. We appreciated the variety of choices for gluten intolerant persons, but the labeling might need to either be tweaked or defined on the menu.

Gina Rutherford

AMAZING food! Great service, delicious food, and they were so accommodating and knowledgeable about food allergies (dairy, gluten, fish). I just wish they were closer so I could go back more often!

Auk Ringo

Maybe their individual dinner service is better, but for a corporate luncheon, go elsewhere if you are gluten free. Given that this is a $$$$ chain restaurant you would think they could keep a few GF rolls in the freezer and maybe have a bag of GF croutons in the pantry, but no. Not even with 2 weeks advance notice, apparently. Worse still, they poisoned me with a dish that they knew was not GF even after advance notice and speaking to the server when choosing from the three item entrée list, and after they had successfully brought a GF salad starter. Not only were the prawns on the salmon not in GF batter or cooked safely, but it turned out that the Thai sauce was not safe either. Luckily I asked again after a couple of bites but I am not looking forward to tomorrow’s inevitable repercussions. They did cook me something safe as replacement, so they can do it, but it shouldn’t be a fight to stay safe.

We have dined here twice. Both times we were highly disappointed. We wont be back. Lets start with the good. The Brussels were amazing (although a little spicer the second round...yes we ordered two.) and the rock fish was a crowd pleaser. The kids burger was very large and we split it for our kids. The side fruit that came with it seemed fresh cut and had a great variety. Now the bad...Gluten free menu online but not in restaurant. They had a few selections but they didn't seem polished with this and we were celebrating a birthday for someone with an allergy. We selected this place thinking it would be easy for them. My husband didn't like the chicken sandwich. It was thin and extra crispy. My beet and blue salad was large but not very good. The scallops were okay but very salty. Last visit our lamb lollipops were served cold but we overlooked it thinking it was because we ordered quite a bit. We requested roof deck seating with our reservations and in the restaurant upon arriving and both times we were not successful. There was a party our most recent trip and I cant remember the reasoning for the first visit. This was a big bummer since it was a gorgeous night and there is outdoor dining right down the street. Our hostess informed us yesterday that you can't request location of seating in a reservation (phone and online). Surprising since we had but good knowledge to pass along.

So glad to have this healthy breakfast/juice place in Annapolis! Love that there is a gluten free bread option. Protein was added to my smoothie making it perfect for a quick on the go meal while I finished my errands. Also grabbed the beet and ginger juice. Was absolutely delicious.

S Conley

Very nice bistro that helps train the lighthouse people. The food was delicious. The service was great. Prices were reasonable. They had a number of gluten free options.

Lena

Fabulous!!! Super friendly for gluten free diets.

Meg D

Gorgeous location, you can see the water from almost every table. We came here to celebrate our engagement and it felt lovely and special. The mojitos were meh but the food was delicious and the staff are great. I recommend the fish tacos- they can be made gluten free!

kielly andrews

Props to this NY style by-the-slice selling pizzeria for also having gluten free crust AND using safe food handling to avoid cross-contamination! Fair prices, convenient location with plenty of parking - highly recommended despite sparse atmosphere.

Kevin Wanamaker

The food here is amazing and the service is fantastic. For those that need gluten free they have many options and can accommodate some meals with changes. The Crab Hash is amazing and highly recommended.

Ed Mattingly

Slightly outside of the downtown area but completely worth the walk from our hotel. Service and food was outstanding. They carefully accommodated celiac Annie and even brought out the soy sauce to show us that the scallops appetizer would be safe for her consumption. She had the filet mignon and I had the lamb shanks. We sampled several drinks and even had dessert. Awesome experience and they didn't balk to seat our 3yo son. The appetizers were the highlight of our meal.

Cara Moulds

Best pizza. Very thin crust. Excellent service. Great wine selection. They don't serve gluten free crust but you can bring your own, which is a great option.

Very pricy for Thai. Pad Thai was ok Pinneaple fried rice was not ok, with questionable freshness of the Shrimp. Mango Sticky rice was old and just one slob mass of glutentenyn rice. Disgusting.... Their pricing is just ridiculous for a local Thai. We will avoid this place

My husband and I love doing appetizer/drink/dessert date nights and this place hit the spot! We started with the flaming crab dip and duck fat fries and then moved onto the short rib tacos (under the gluten free menu) and all 3 dishes were absolutely delicious. Husband got a smoke on the water cocktail and I got a watermelon mule drink and again, both were delicious. We finished with the NY raspberry cheesecake! Two thumbs up. Absolutely one of our new favorite places

Constance Polamalu

Quiet upscale restaurant. The kind you feel you might be sitting next to the future president of the United States in. Perfect for business meetings or dates you really want to impress. The food is decadent in exactly the way you would expect from a high end Italian restaurant. The seafood risotto is to die for. Plenty of Gluten Free options.

Mairin Gilbert

Broadneck Grill is incredible! They catered my wedding in October and I cannot say enough positive things about them! They were very responsive and patient answering all of my many many questions! They were also easily able to accommodate all of the various dietary restrictions and allergies that my guests had (i.e. Gluten Free, lactose intolerant, shellfish, vegetarian, etc...). The food and service were fantastic, all my guests were raving about the fajitas and the crab balls! They are truly full service, they handled all the set up and break down, cleaned up throughout the night, delivered chairs & linens, and kept us on schedule! They were an absolute dream to work with and did a fantastic job

Rent Sheds

We've been eating here for yrs and always had excelant food and superior service, One of the places we take ourt of town guest to impress. They have gluten-free entrees that are very good. Bill

Ron Hoff

Love that they have gluten-free, friendly options for pancakes Everything was really good Even coffee Son loved his hot chocolate

Ty Davis

The tavern has a hint of a beer distillery - it’s hoppy and pleasant to take in as you walk through the doors. They have a large menu with a larger beer menu. They do have a full bar, but the bottled beer menu is outstanding. My wife is gluten-free, and they have three gluten-free beer options for those such as she. The server was knowledgeable and was able to answer questions about some of the odd allergies our group has. We called about 15 minutes ahead on a Thursday afternoon and they were able to seat 12 of us in a private room.

Linda M

This place is wonderful! Food is off the charts. They are so nice and so helpful. Highly recommend! They offer gluten free!

Christine Guenther

I have visited this restaurant four times since it opened/rebranded, and every time has been excellent. I have been so pleasantly surprised at each visit, and after dinner there last evening, I felt compelled to write a review which I rarely do. The food has been delicious and the service has been friendly and efficient. They have a great little kids menu as well as gluten-free pasta and other dishes for gluten-free eaters. The decor and ambience is modern yet and charming. I am so excited to have this little gem in Cape Saint Claire!

Joanne Rende

Great food & Gluten free options

Alex G

Fantastic menu options, and an extensive beer and wine list. The space is rich in history and very classy. Sometimes there is live music. Good vegetarian and gluten-free options as well.
