Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Cleveland

Briana Gamble

I want to love Town Hall, as someone who has food allergies (gluten, dairy, & soy), but the last 2 times my order was made wrong. Both times they contained one of my allergies - the first time a burger came with cheese and the second time I was given the keto bun instead of the gluten free bun which contains dairy. The first time it was refunded since I was already home. The second time I was close by when I realized and they made it again. Food allergies are nothing to mess with though and to advertise as accommodating but consistently make food wrong is very frustrating. There’s clearly a lack of knowledge from staff or protocols are lacking.

It was my first time visiting this restaurant and the experience was very good. I was lucky that the waitress spoke Spanish. If you don't eat gluten it's a good place to come because the sauces are gluten-free and they have gluten-free bread. I hadn't had a sandwich in a restaurant for years. The food was exquisite. I tried the Big Pig Sandwich and the fries. When I return to Cleveland I definitely have to go back.

I came here for the first time last month and have been back two more times. I don't know why it took me so long to come try it (well maybe because parking in Little Italy leaves a lot to be desired). All the food I've had here has been very good, especially the homemade pasta. The noodles were thick and delicious and the sauce had the perfect flavor. I've also had lasagna and the regular crust pizza which were also very good. The portions aren't crazy out of control. I normally avoid gluten because it makes me blow up like a balloon and will only eat it if it's really worth it. Here, it is really worth it. I haven't tried the gluten free crust yet but plan to, I'm glad they have that option it makes me like them even better.

Darryl was the best waiter I have had in a long time. We had a group of 17 people and he treated us all kindly and in a timely manner. One person was gluten free and another had food allergies and he was patient and took the time to get their order right. This server deserved recognition and made me want to come back and request just him.

The food was AMAZING!!! Love the Gluten Free options and the taste was ✨✨✨

Adam T

Plenty of gluten free and vegan options. The food was fresh and tasted good. They have good milkshakes as well.

Marvin J. Miller

Great service, excellent food, generous portions, friendly staff, gluten free.

Went here after finding out one of our favorite restaurants in Cleveland was closed. Was really looking forward to trying this place as we always go up to cleveland and pass this place. The only good thing about this place was the view from the table. Food was pricey, and the menu was hard to read if you didn't know Spanish. They do offer gluten-free and vegan options. The food was not as good as I was hoping. The meat in the tacos was really weird and tasted dried. One of the people I was with ordered the burrito which had bison shoulder in the burrito and said the meat was veiny. Our drinks were filled up once right before we left due to our waitor not wanting to come back to our table. The booth we were sat in had a big tear and was wondering how that was possible when the food was so overpriced. The plates that had our food was on was chipped in areas. Super disappointed! Will not be back!

Food is outstanding, we ate both breakfast and dinner here. The portion sizes are large, I highly recommend the hummus, it was delicious! They also have gluten free bread and rolls which was a bonus!

This is by far the best ice cream spot in Cleveland. They have so many unique flavors that there's bound to be something for everyone. They have plenty of vegan and gluten-free options as well. They have some of the best workers I've ever met. They're all very kind, patient, and helpful. I came in recently on a slower day and we talked like instant friends. After we ate our icecream and food, we found our car battery was dead. As we waited for a jump from our insurance, we went back inside to get more icecream, and one of the workers said she had a set of jumper cables in her car if we wanted her help. I'm always amazed by the kindness of the workers here and leave feeling happy! The food is also delicious. I love the egg waffles, and the ube ice cream is a must to at least try. I've tried ube ice cream from stores but it is not as good as Mason's. Their Korean corn dogs and newly added fries are also delicious! I recommend the potato topping and buldak yum yum sauce. I love that they also collaborate with local businesses occasionally for items on the menu. Overall, I recommend this shop for anyone who loves ice cream or good food. It's a little pricy, at least to me, but is absolutely worth it.

Great food. Made fresh. Has gluten free and vegan options. The bread and slather are always a great choice. Offers a kids menu. Does sell alcohol. Nice small patio with picnic tables. Service is hit or miss. Can order take out.

Kate London

This place has amazing food and is knowledgeable about gluten free. I ate so much I hurt.

Cjwlover

Amazing. We moved to Cleveland 4 years ago and have had a hard time finding good food. This restaurant had tons of options for food & drinks, they made it so easy to find gluten free options I could eat, the drinks were strong, my water glass was never less than half full, they went over the wine list with my mother in law and found her something she loved, the staff was professional & personable, and it was so REASONABLY priced. I was actually shocked when our bill came because I thought it was going to cost twice as much as it did. I will recommend this place to anyone who asks and can’t wait to return.

Melissa provided perfect breakfast service! Our food was out within minutes and prepared with the modifications we needed (gluten free bread, no red onions). The food was simple but delicious and fresh. Well done all around!

Michelle Crow

We were in Cleveland for a quick trip and needed a good restaurant for gluten-free food. I googled restaurants on our path, and this restaurant was suggested. We arrived about 1pm and did not have to wait to be seated. Our server, Bianka, immediately came to take care of us. She very thoroughly went over gluten-free options and even checked with the kitchen to make sure what we wanted was gluten-free. We did have to wait a bit for our food, but when we got it, we understood. This was hands down the best lunch we have ever had. My mom had the burger and fries. She said they were the best fries she had ever had. I had the lamb stew, and I was in food heaven. Overall, this was an amazing experience. We lived the atmosphere, our server, and the food. We will be back.

I have visited Punch Bowl Social for the second time and I will definitely be returning again! The service is excellent and the food is amazing! They offer a wide variety of gluten-free options on their menu.

Anthony Sodd

After encountering an initial disappointment at Burgerim due to receiving gluten buns instead of the gluten-free lettuce wraps I ordered, I was pleasantly surprised by the owner's response. Mario promptly addressed my concerns with sincerity, offering a full refund and a gift card as a gesture of goodwill. His commitment to improving service and ensuring a better experience on my next visit is commendable. While my first visit was disappointing, I appreciate Mario's efforts to rectify the situation. Therefore, I am updating my rating to 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you, Mario, for your attention to customer satisfaction.

TL;DR: delicious food, gluten free and vegetarian options labeled on menu, amazing customer service I drive by Batuqui all the time and had kind of written it off assuming they wouldn’t really have anything good for a gluten free vegetarian. While looking through DoorDash tonight, I noticed that they had multiple delicious looking options that were labeled GF/vegetarian/vegan/dairy free/etc! I ordered and ended up getting someone else’s order. While I realize that this was likely the restaurant’s fault, DoorDash is supposed to fix these problems. However, after trying to resolve the issue through DoorDash to no avail, I called the restaurant. Gabriella took no time at all to come up with a few solutions to my issue. Ultimately, I really wanted my order, but I couldn’t get to the restaurant to pick it up, so she arranged to have it delivered. Amazing customer service. The food is also delicious. Definitely recommend the Moqueca Baiana stew. My husband loved the Churrasco Gaucho. Since we got someone else’s order, he also tried the Stroganoff which he said was great as well. Bon bons - two thumbs up. Definitely look forward to eating at the restaurant one day soon!

Good food for an airport and had lots of gluten free options, which is nice because travelling with Celiac sucks.

Raygan Bingham

Ramin is the most amazing waiter and was so considerate about the gluten intolerances at our table. Amazing food and service!!

Briana Kristen

I’ve been to all 3 Luca restaurants. Every time it has been fantastic. The service is impeccable at each location and the food is always amazing. This is definitely the place to go for happy hour. I have celiac so I love the fact they have dishes and pasta I can eat. They have an excellent wine selection and strong cocktails. My cousin and I went to Aqua and East Bank last week for happy hours. The calamari is to die for. The bartenders were wonderful. I went to the west location a few months ago and had the same experience.

William Wolkoff

One of the best bakeries in Cleveland! I ordered a gluten free cake for my wife’s birthday, and it was fantastic!

Lia Atchison

All around a great place for a casual dining experience. Love the food, especially the variety of burgers and unique toppings. Thank you for the gluten free options. They have awesome GF buns.

Eve Nicholas

I love this place! The food here is extremely healthy and very accommodating to my dietary restrictions including gluten and dairy. The staff is so welcoming and nice and made the entire experience so much better. 10/10 would come back.

Liz Weber

Food and service were excellent. The waiter and kitchen were super accommodating of my gluten free diet. They made the pasta special with gluten free noodles, and it was delicious. I’ll definitely be back again.

August Newman

I'm writing this a few hours after having eaten here with a friend. From the moment we stepped inside, the staff were phenomenal. We were greeted by the door and asked if we had ever been there before. They let us pick where we wanted to sit and ensured that we had drinks within the first few minutes of walking in the door. Our waiter was also extremely attentive. As soon as I mentioned that I have celiac disease, he informed me about the precautions they take and what on the menu would be safe for me to eat. He also mentioned possible accommodations if there was anything that wasn't explicitly marked Gluten Free on the menu (and a large portion of it was already marked gf!). I immediately knew I would be walking out of here without getting sick. When we ordered an appetizer for the table, they brought corn tortillas as an alternative to fried chips which were excellent. The dip almost put me in tears since it was so delicious! My main course was the blue corn enchiladas. It was scrumptious and the plating was beautiful! Honestly one of the best meals I've had in years. They knew exactly which dish was mine (gf) and which one was my friends (non-gf). Everyone was extremely kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. Arguably this was one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had, even when I didn't have dietary restrictions. I cannot recommend this place enough and I would give it 7/5 stars if I could.

Parker Wilson

What a special place! We came for a medical visit and left with full bellies and happy hearts. Amazing service, above and beyond kindness and EPIC food! Gluten free magic too!

Bob Dobbs

Good selection of German cuisine. Excellent beer selection. Excellent waitstaff. Slightly overpriced for what you get but near to Playhouse Square so not unexpected. Surprising amount of gluten-free items if that is your need or preference.

mary

A quick and healthy meal with great service! I’m gluten free so it’s hard to find fast places with my dietary restrictions. I love how Balance is always adding new and exciting menu items.

Stephen Daray (Steve D)

My favorite small venue to see a show in Cleveland. It's got that small venue bathroom. Good food though they do need to toast the gluten-free buns before serving them as a sandwich. Great beer selection. Very cool staff.

Shalon Rogers

Wow! Wow! Wow! AMAZING! So worth it! Doesn't matter what u order- it's worth it! The restaurant is very clean and everyone who works there is very clean, very friendly, very professional! Endless amount of bread and butter- They have Gluten Free bread as well- which I had to get- so good Our waiter was CELO .. talk about a great waiter! This guy was so helpful with everything- so polite- ask him what he recommends and he has alittle to say about it all- the owner?! Well I had the absolute pleasure of meeting him tonight! He must be a great boss cuz the staff was on it and smiling and communicating- and he was so pleasant to speak with. A gentle soul all of them are! Truly appreciate how well our date night went- we couldn't have asked for a better time or better food- check out these great pics- the goat cheese salad was my fav! Thanks again to the owner for the idea but the staff as well for making it all happen- you guys are such a great team! We'll be back! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We were greeted by Danita who was very polite and welcoming. She made small talk and did he job as a hostess. Our server Laura, who was very attentive, guided us through the menu and also made sure to address my gluten restrictions. It's the small things that really speak volumes. The restaurant was pretty dead for a Saturday night. There were just two other tables besides us. We started with the truffle parmessan Brussel Sprouts and they were delicious. I ordered the Grilled Akura Salmon. I would say that it was a solid 6. Basically it's just a grilled piece of Salmon with asparagus on a top of a saffron corn cream which was not very flavorful. My friend got a black bean burger and she seemed to have enjoyed it. We also got a few drinks. Initially we got the turn which was okay. If you like a good balance of liquor to mix I would stay away from this. The simple syrup took over the flavor. My friend Initially ordered The Cle upon the servers suggestion but it was really sour. She ended up ordering Summer Thyme in Cleveland and she suggested that I bet the Blueberry Hill since the Turn was just subpar and I want drinking it. I told her that I was fine and didn't want to send it back but ended up ordering the blueberry hill which was really good if you like bourbon. Overall the experience and great and the atmosphere was very nice though people checking into the hotel did get a bit annoying.

If you have any dietary restrictions I would not recommend going here. I have dietary restrictions; no butter, gluten, potatoes and the chef was unwilling to change how she prepared the food per our server. They wouldn’t even change the potatoes for broccolini. Very disappointing as I am always up to try new places, but unfortunately they would not meet my dietary restriction needs. I will not be returning.

Lauren Oppedisano

Very pricey but they take your allergens seriously and are happy to make you just about anything in a safe way

Ken Ilg

Don't be turned off by the quirky ordering system--you get a menu at your table and then order both your drinks and food at the hostess station--this place is WORTH IT. Modern, clean, cool staff, varied menu. Our family of vegetarians (including one gluten free) had our stomachs stuffed and our taste buds rocked. I've had a lot of house-made veggie burgers (usually soggy black bean paste); this was BY FAR the best veggie burger I've had. It was just like a Big Mac. The roasted Brussels sprouts were amazing. Just an incredible culinary experience. Do I wish they had table service? Yes, because I'm lazy. But, push through your laziness and embrace this place. Best food I've had in a looooong time.

Todd Morrison

Top notch. Vegan, gluten free, and meat options. Everyone could eat happy here

Natalie Cornell

I need to eat dairy- and gluten-free, which can be challenging for an Italian restaurant, but the server was terrific, knew the menu we'll, and wasn't at all chased by the request. The manager and the owner both checked in with us and made us feel well-taken care of. Food, atmosphere and service were all excellent.

Kalliyan Greevy

Very authentic Cambodian food. Owner was very knowledgeable about gluten allergies and was easily able to suggest a meal. Would absolutely come back!!

Paige Sanders

This place awesome. Love the manager Jared and Danielle. Yummy food, good music, nice chefs, nice vibe!!!! Love that there's gluten-free options too! Staff is so nice - I cant wait tor return.

A.Elizabeth Orley

Allergy Friendly! Great staff, great food, great atmosphere! We love it here! VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS!

Ben Sager

This place is very nice. Very accommodating and knowledgeable of gluten free. The manager even made sure the remade my breakfast sandwich when they realized it was cut with the wrong knife. I would recommend to anyone for breakfast or brunch.

Jeff Moss

Great food and service. I am gluten free and they happily accommodated me!

Taylor Freeman

Kis was great! I have a gluten intolerance and she went above and beyond to make sure my tacos were safe for me! She was very friendly and explained everything very well!!!

Kelly Margaret Heikkila

Great selection of asian cuisine and wonderful waitstaff. Lots of Gluten-Free and vegetarian options available. Clean bathrooms. Wide selection of tea!

Lauren CT

I love this spot! It has a warm and inviting vibe. The food is so fresh and delicious. The cocoa chai was incredible. The staff is very accommodating to my gluten free, dairy free dietary restrictions. I highly recommend!

Jerry Mindek

Located in a corner location on the east end of Gordan Square Happy Dog is a great Cleveland dining destination. Meat and non-meat dogs available with a blizzard of topping choices which includes Froot Loops! Many toppings are house made (but not the Froot Loops). In addition to hot dogs, the sides are fries or tots, loaded or not. They are very clear on what is gluten free, vegetarian or vegan. They have a vegan dog and GF bun. The only thing I wish they offered was lettuce wrapped dogs because I don't eat any kind of bun. Lastly they have a good selection of draft, bottled beer and spirits available.

Laura

Loved this place. Amazing coffee with house made cashew milk, cold pressed juices and gluten free and vegan options.

Came here for our 1 year anniversary & it was awesome! Great staff, incredible food, elegant atmosphere. Everything was 10/10. Our waitress was very nice & helpful. We got free rolls to start, a limoncello spritz, marble room chop salad, fish-n-chips sushi roll, Delmonico steak with asparagus. My wife got the filet mignon 6oz with pommes frites (fries). The hostess were super nice. It’s on the more expensive side but for a special occasion, it’s well worth it. The cotton candy was a nice free gift from our waitress too :) Only downside is they don’t have a lot of gluten free/dairy free options for people with dietary restrictions. But we still had an AMAZING TIME!
