Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Charleston

Amber Easterling

This is always one of my favorite places to visit in Charleston! They have a large gluten-free menu and take any allergies very seriously! The food is always amazing! Lunch or dinner, it’s always so good!

Heather Foster

Amazing gluten free buns, burgers and chicken straps all delicious. Whole family loved! Highly recommend.

Kyle Holmes

An all around spectacular meal. First the service was first class from the greeting and seating to the table service. Every single dish was fantastic but the Beef Carpaccio and BBQ Tuna really stood out. Great selection of Gluten Free options on the menu, very accommodating. Thank you for the wonderful visit, can't wait to return.

Always a nice dining experience for a special occasion or just a great dinner overall. They pay so much attention to detail to every dish and are willing to modify anything they can to make it GF. They have a separate fryer. I always get the fried okra coated in corn meal for an appetizer! The pepper jack creamed corn without the breadcrumbs is amazing!! The burrata salad needs to be ordered without the breadcrumbs on top. Their steaks are always delicious!!

Paige Rajala Benson

The best gluten-free sandwich I’ve ever had. Unreal tastes paired between bread. Already dreaming of another sandwich from here!

Amber Easterling

A lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. We went for brunch and there were a few GF options on the menu. I was a little taken back that the chef was unwilling to modify a dish by substituting chicken for shrimp. I ended up with a salad and added chicken to it. My husband’s food came out cold with a film over it. I’ve heard such great things about this restaurant, so was a little disappointed. Maybe it was just an off day.

Second night in Charleston celebrating our tenth anniversary. Hanks definitely met the high expectations we had of good seafood in Charleston! I ordered the flounder and the flavor was out of this world! My husband ordered the oysters casino as an appetizer which were a “ decadent delight” as he described them. For his entree he ordered the grouper which was a tender but meaty and delicious entree! Our server, Drew, was very attentive and pleasant. There was a separate gluten free menu with many options. Both of our main entrees were GF.

We love our Mellow Mushroom, this was our first time at this location. I had the custom burger with bacon mushrooms and onion. It is a double patty smash burger style. Slamming good. Service was good the waitress was training and serving several other tables we went during the lunch rush. My wife had the steak and cheese calzone. Good could use a little more cheese. My sone had the gluten free pizza he has severe food allergies and this is the only place he can eat pizza other than if we make at home.

Amber Easterling

I was there for brunch, which is a little more difficult for GF options than dinner. No pancakes, no biscuits, no gravy, no fried chicken. They can modify some of the menu items to be GF. I got the short rib dirty rice with fried egg bc it didn’t need to be modified. The deviled eggs were amazing. I will say that they do want to accommodate wherever they can, but it is difficult with the breaded and fried items. I will go back for dinner some time though.

Danielle Dyer

This was our 2nd time here... We went for my birthday and truly enjoyed it again!! Our sever Molly was beyond fantastic!! She truly made my birthday so special!! The food was delicious! We had the she crab soup, calamari, loaded mash potatoes and the Ribeye!! All gluten free!!!!! And when we told Molly we just couldn't eat anymore she was so sweet and brought me some strawberries and whipped cream with a candle so I could make my birthday wish ❤️❤️❤️ which is so important to me ☺️☺️☺️ We truly recommend everything about high cotton!!

Jupiter Grove

Great little place with a nice selection on the menu. They do accommodate gluten-free although it's not their specialty. You can get a $6 yuengling draft or pay as much as you want for mixed drinks. They truly have something for everyone.

Daniela D

I was there with my daughter who has some food allergies. They make any dishes on their menu to your liking. She had the linguine which they were able to make gluten free and duck breast with simple spices as she wanted. They make wonderful dishes here. This was not the first time we had dinned here but unfortunately it might be out last due to their parking. When we got to our car it had a boot on it. The owner of the lot thought we were dishonest people and called the authorities to boot our car. I still had to pay the fine to get it off. Please be careful when you park here. It's a good thing that Charleston has other restaurants that are even better then this one. Thank you

Maria Rodriguez Santaella

It had a nice vibe. I ordered the chicken bacon gluten free pizza and a Caesar salad. Both the pizza and salad were great.

We had such a fun time here for our friends birthday trip! Our girl Rachel was so sweet and took the best care of our large group! The drinks were delicious and the food came out quickly and was very tasty! Also loved that they had a gluten free menu for my friend! Highly recommend

Brian Sinyard

Outstanding dining experience. We let our server choose everything (drinks and food) after sharing our preferences. They even accommodate my friend who required gluten free options (and they had quite a few). Highly recommend the duck appetizer. Great service!!

Sylvia Sheridan

Not bad for a quick take-home pizza!! You can also dine there! Gluten-free option as well which is a big plus for me! I love that you can add your own toppings and it doesn't change the price!!! ♥️

Zoe Smith

Service was very slow and hard to get a hold of servers for assistance. I have a gluten allergy and checked with the waiter before ordering and specified- reminded him of my gluten allergy with each course and every single plate I got had gluten on it- first my salad with crunchy toppings fried in the fryer with gluten items, then my crab dip had bread crumbs on it. It was very disappointing and also scary to get one dish after another with gluten in or on it. Additionally every single person at the table finished their drinks and the server was no where to be found for 30-45 minutes. I was with a large group celebrating a friend so did not make a fuss. Both dishes were sent back and fixed. Appreciate that but not the level of service I expect from an establishment like this.

Ms. Rose’s Fine Food is a treat in Charleston! The food was absolutely delicious—highly recommend the avocado burger with the gluten-free bun, which was sturdy, flavorful, and a perfect match. The meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans was another standout. Don’t leave without trying the brisket fries—mouthwatering! The restaurant is spacious, the staff is warm and welcoming, and our waitress Raven gave top-notch service with great recommendations for us first-timers. We’ll definitely be back!

Katlyn McDonald

I live in Texas and Miller’s is at the top of my list of places to go when I visit Charleston. Every time I go I try something new and I’m NEVER disappointed . The cinnamon roll, Avacado toast, the monster cookie (extra points for it being gluten free) and espresso martini are a few of my favorites. The James Island location is such a quaint, family friendly place that my 5 year old absolutely loves and the downtown location has such a fun vibe. When you go, ask for Brandon Procell, he’s the best and makes our experience so special!

We stopped by for a quick lunch. The food was really good! They have a gluten-free menu with multiple options. Unfortunately, they do not have gluten-free bread or rolls, so no sandwiches, but everything else was great.

K. Paz

We did 2 gluten free and 1 regular biscuit. These were the BEST Gluten Free biscuits we've ever had! The regular biscuit was absolutely amazing also. We got lucky and did not have to wait so long in the line but noticed many were coming back letting the staff know that their order was wrong. We made sure we checked ours before we left and it was also wrong. They threw away our GF ones and remade them. After trying how good the biscuit was, I went back to get another GF one but was told there were no more GF left. I was upset since I am not local and really wanted another one, if they would have gotten the orders right the first time, there would have been 2 more GF biscuits and many others they threw out before ours. I decided to buy the GF mix to bring back home.

Katie Marino

We went for our anniversary. Our server Lexi was great & all of the staff were very friendly & attentive! Ordered the Pirlou & so glad we did. They were great with my gluten allergy & even had chocolate flourless cake.

Summer

Everything was incredible!!! Our server Daniel explained everything in detail, our food came out quickly, and when one of the dishes wasn’t perfect, the owner Eli made sure it was 100%!!! We loved our time here and we WILL be back!! And bonus; there’s wonderful GLUTEN FREE options!

Megan Lassen

Great flavor, large portions, and safe for celiac and dairy allergies!! I'd eat there often if I lived in the area!

Cary Jeffrey

They have gluten free bread... yay. Everything else is just good deli...sweeet!

Rebecca Campbell

The staff is super helpful and the food delicious. They have gluten fee options.

Natalie Ireland

We came with a large party and our server was great! Quick, attentive, knowledgeable about what was celiac safe on the menu which is a huge plus for me! Everything we had was so good, food and drinks! Would love to check out their patio next time.

kari horowitz

All pizza is prepared in flour, I asked if they could make it on tin foil and she said all surfaces are covered in flour there would be cross contamination. Disappointed. No good for true celiac allergy.

DareToAim Photography

Best breakfast/brunch we’ve had in Charleston. Would highly recommend. Service was great & fast. Our waitress Amelia was kind & attentive. We loved the vibes & just what we were looking for. They also had gluten free toast which was an added bonus for me.

Courtney Watts

Best food, atmosphere, and service. Seperate fryer for tortilla chips, which means nachos for someone like me that has celiac disease. They are very accommodating and have lots of allergy friendly foods. I can't say enough great things about this Taco Boy. Just bring your sweater if sitting inside.

Avery Hatch

The perfect spot for a more casual but still delicious dinner in downtown. Lots of well marked gluten free options, and some creative/fun options for folks who might not want seafood. Our server was attentive, friendly, and quick. We were seated immediately on a Monday evening despite the no-reservation policy. Would definitely return!

Nathaniel Reed

A delicious dinner! Sean C. Was such a good server. He was very thoughtful regarding a gluten allergy at our table and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Will definitely come back!

R S

We enjoyed our meals but think the fish was slightly overcooked. Our appetizer of crab dip with gluten free crackers was our favorite part. We had to wait about 45 minutes at the bar on a Tuesday night. It’s a very popular place and would love to try some of their other dishes. They have a separate gluten free menu and are I felt it was very celiac safe. They made my husband’s dish celiac safe too so that he could share with me. I greatly appreciate the attention to diet restrictions.

Andy Tam

We came for breakfast and tried a bit of everything. Honestly, we were not impressed with the food or the coffee. It was really good that gluten free bread was availble as one of us was gluten intorleant, so that's super. However the watermelon salad lacked any flavor and the chicken waffles were OK (waffles were a tad soggy). Overall, there are some improvement areas in the food department.

Hannah Ferguson

Jonathon was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond for me and the food speaks for itself! Very refined menu but everything we had was superb. Overall, 11/10 experience and definitely will be coming back for that gluten free pistachio pasta dish!!

Alison Jackson

We found this place based on Google reviews, and we are so glad we did! It's a terrific dessert café. I'm gluten-free, and it was such a joy to find somewhere with delicious after-dinner options. My non gf husband had the bourbon pecan pie and said it's fabulous.

Rachel Odum

Atmosphere is charming and intimate. There was a had written card reserving the table. Jon, the server was amazing and accommodating with my gluten sensitivity. I recommend the Paris Market plate and strawberry lemonade tea. I hope to have a chance to go back for a high tea experience.

Amy Shair

Went for dinner with a group of friends while visiting Charleston. We ordered a lot of different items - all were flavorful and paced well so we didn’t have too many plates on the table at once. The service was fantastic. The gluten free dessert was surprisingly delicious. Off street parking was a plus.

kari horowitz

The gluten free options are gluten free toast and allegedly oatmeal and granola. The food is delicious here but they don't have any gf pancakes or French toast which is what our 6yo with celiac really wanted. All cooking happens on same surfaces as well. Frustrating that the options were pretty limited.

Brie Ochoa

If you’re gluten free and want (or miss out on) fine dining, you have to go here(!!!). Most menu items were or could be made gluten free. Our server was so knowledgeable about gluten free food and cross contact that I could cry. The menu was also labeled, and our server was aware of the GF designation we had put on our reservation. Food, drinks, dessert, live music, and service were all amazing - can’t wait to come back. 15/10. (Full review on Find Me Gluten Free - this is how we ended up making a reservation here!)

Juliana Manson

This is the best sandwich/salad/soup place downtown. It’s cheap, and so good, every single time. Carol and Megan are always so accommodating and nice. And they have gluten free!!!!!

Angel Smith

Always great service and food. Family friendly, gluten free options and they have their own parking lot which is helpful for locals who want to get something to eat while downtown. One of our favorite spots 😊

Holly D.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, not exaggerating. Huge bonus that they were able to tailor our entire meal for my allergy needs (celiac, gluten-free).

NathanKelly Diffley

Gluten free people of Charleston definitely need to check this place out! Dedicated gluten free fryers, fried chicken 👀👀👀. We had a great meal. We got the chopped Italian salad and chicken sandwich on fries. I don’t love the ordering system, but a staff member came and helped us order via their app. Very knowledgeable about their gluten free items, or very willing to double check with the kitchen. Will visit again when I’m in town. Fun place and great atmosphere.

Ashly Dennis

East Bay Deli is one of the best sandwich shops in the area. They have a lot of options for someone gluten free. My children are very picky and they love eating here. I also live the atmosphere and decor. It makes for an interesting visit here. They also have outdoor seating which is nice. Their parking lot is big enough to accommodate their business

I

Amazing gluten free biscuit!

Lisa Hildreth

Went for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. Made reservations to be sure we didn't have a long wait for a table and were seated quickly. Our server, Maverick, was there quickly and took our drink order and they were out fast. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. Our meals came out fast and were delicious. I loved all the gluten free options and have to say that my salmon was cooked to perfection as was my husband's catch of the day. Would have loved to have had enough room to try one of their gluten free desserts, but there is always the next time. We will certainly be back again!

Hailey

Love the idea of the restaurant! The whole staff is very attentive. The rolls are gluten free, YUM! It's a fair price for the experience and all the food options.
