Top 40 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Waco

Excellent food! And it is gluten free, dairy free, nut free. The nug box is a staple. The smoked chicken salad box is my personal favorite. The smoked salmon is quite good also; I recommend with the salad and rice. Food is so fresh here and the music they play is always fabulous and puts me in a good mood.

I absolutely loved my order of chicken and waffles. My waffle was perfectly cooked. The breading on the chicken tenderloin was perfectly seasoned and not salty. The fresh strawberries were sweet and really added to my enjoyment. I appreciate the organic and gluten-free ingredients. It's definitely a must on my next trip to Waco, TX. Last but not least, the owner was an absolute joy!

Disclaimer: mainly went to make my wife jealous that I got to eat here since I was by myself....however I also wanted to go based on previous reviews. The food was solid. Good portions (which I normally wouldn't say in most reviews) and great quality food. The strawberry butter was really good and I'm not the type to get excited about butter. They also have mocktails which is nice. I was here on a hot June day and the Cherry Fizz was a solid choice. My waitress was also pretty knowledgeable about what food is safe for me (Celiac's) and able to ensure everything was safe. Overall for the portion and quality of the food everything it was relatively inexpensive considering I had eggs.

Really tasty menu items. Gluten free is available. Beer on tap. Friendly staff, all sharing customer service duties.

The pizza is absolutely delicious and I'm beyond grateful for their inclusion of gluten free and vegan options. The service has for the most part been friendly, but there have been two instances where it was pretty disappointing. The first instance occurred when my mom called and made a reservation for homecoming weekend. The reservation was lost and while they were trying to figure it out (shout out to the wait staff who were so kind and humble with the situation), the owner came out and said, "you mean to tell me you're walking in at 6:00 on homecoming trying to get a table for eight?" To which my mom replied that is why we made the reservation. His staff was very helpful in sorting the situation out, but as the conversation continued the owner remained snarky. The service took a long time, but again, it was homecoming weekend and we had a large group, so that is very understandable. The second instance was an issue with pricing. I asked the waitress how much extra gluten free crust cost. She was beyond sweet and said, "Oh it doesn't cost extra!" I then asked if cheese counted as the one complimentary topping to which she responded, "no, you get another topping in addition to cheese. No extra charge." When I got the check I ended up paying 10 more dollars than I expected. I was charged both for the gluten free crust and the cheese. I brought it up to the waitress, not to argue the charge, but to let her know in case someone else asked in the future. She was so so sweet and they gave me $5 back in cash, however I was still disappointed with the miscommunication. The pizza is delicious, the waitstaff is kind, but these two experiences make it seem that the establishment struggles with organization and communication.

One of my favorite places to eat with celiac. So much flavor in their crepes and bowls.

This was my first time eating at Mod Pizza, and it was awesome! They have a gluten-free option! This place is perfect for those who like lots of toppings, as you only need to pay for the crust, then you can add whatever toppings you want on your pizza. You can also get dipping sauce or have sauce drizzled on the pizza. The food was great, the restaurant was nice and clean, and the employees were kind and worked fast. Overall, a great experience. I plan to come again! 😁

Everything baked from scratch that is offered on a bun or bread, many gluten-free options. Prices are Bonkers for the quality. Friendly staff, and very clean. Quite Charming

Love this place. My go-to for a gluten free cheese sandwich. I'm terrible at making them, so when I get a craving, I come here. The staff is wonderful and their options are quite perfect in their simplicity!

Amy Adams

Awesome dairy and gluten free options!! Delicious & great service.

Makayla Burkett

I enjoyed eating there alot of different options. I alos enjoyed that there was gluten free substitutions for some dishes. The staff is polite and respectful.

If you are looking for great BBQ in casual setting do not miss Terry Black's. I was not expecting its almost fast food style service where you select your sides (single, pint or larger servings), then meat by the pound (sold in 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, or pound servings. We had the brisket, plain sausage and pork ribs. All outstanding. Melt in your mouth brisket. The potato salad and coleslaw slaw are both vegan and gluten free for anyone avoiding those. Great green beans too. I missed that they dont offer collard greens. Corn bread was great too. Highly recommend for a relaxed casual lunch or dinner. The guy by the smoker even offered to take out picture by the sign and next to the smokers and to give us a quick tour of the smokers.

My family has been getting gluten-free pizza here for a few years. The cost is around $20, but until now the size was ok. While the price has stayed the same, the pizza has shrunk to 1/2 the size it was. The quality isn't great, but GF crust is hard to perfect, however we can buy the same quality at Wal-Mart for much less with this one. Bummer. We've dined in once, weren't thrilled with the service or atmosphere, but I really feel that speaks more of the owners than the staff. I think the staff does try to be accommodating but it's just a depressing place.

There have a gluten free and very good foods.

Faith

The gluten free pizza was very good!

Jonathan Baucom

Awesome first time experience! Gluten free bun was out of this world delicious. Highly recommend and I'm looking forward to my second visit! 😋

Michael Brossard

The food was amazing and I thank the staff for giving me gluten free Mac and cheese!!!

Ayrian Ott

Sisters Adventure Day and it was a google search that lead us to a restaurant with gluten free menu (which I needed) a glass of the best rosé (Chloe) we toasted with and the most amazing lunch we could have asked for. The salmon was perfectly cooked and everything was seasoned to perfection. We both agreed that the chefs cooked with their hearts. Cheers to a wonderful staff!

Courtney Clark

I had a wonderful visit for breakfast with my family! Their servings are generous, staff very friendly, and menus selection very broad. Some of my family memeber have dietary restrictions and were happy with the gluten free menu options.

This is a good reliable burger! I've mostly had In-N-Out Burger in California and Texas and they are consistently good across all the locations visited. The Fries are fresh and crispy, the Vanilla Shake was excellent! Gluten-free options available!

Brussels to begin... and soooo delicious. Gluten friendly options, very knowledgeable staff, awesome customer service. Everything we ate had the best taste ever. I can go on forever. This place is a hit all the way!

DeLinn Payne

Had a great experience at this location! I have celiac and our son has a severe gluten intolerance & other food allergies. The server was incredible and helped us, and the manager on duty was absolutely wonderful! She went through the whole menu with us, explained that they will cook our food separately in the kitchen from the rest of the party on the hibachi grill. They had GF soy sauce, and explained which sushi rolls we could eat. This was our first time trying this restaurant and we were incredibly pleased with the service & the food!

Mallory Greer

I recently was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and must have only gluten free foods. I went to the Subway with my husband to get him a sandwich. I had planned on just making something for myself at home. The staff were very kind and let me know that not only did they have gluten free bread, they were willing to use unopened ingredients/toppings from the back to ensure there was no cross-contamination. They washed their hands and changed gloves before handling my food. I am absolutely blown away by how amazing the staff are! They were so understanding and knowledgeable about gluten free needs. Thank you so much!

As someone who is both gluten and dairy free, what a pleasant surprise!! Being in the south I know that my allergies can be a challenge, but this restaurant had excellent options!! At first glance there doesn’t seem to be much, but the chorizo and shrimp are cooked in oil, not butter and the only thing I was missing out on was the bread. The potatoes were to die for and it was the best food I ate in Waco. Gina, our server, helped us pick The most fabulous wines to match the food we ate and the live music added to the atmosphere. I feel great after the food I ate and we had the best time. If I’m back in Waco, this is the first place im coming! What a gem!

This place has gone down. I travel to Dr here every few months. The gluten free pancakes used to be awesome now doughy and no flavor. Wait is long, they are searching for help.

Jackson Luckin

We’ve been here 3 times and every time Ryan remembers and gives us 12/10 service and food. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough from the food, to the environment, to the service it’s all amazing. They remember things like my wife being gluten free or our son wanting ketchup with his fries and we’ve only be there 3 times in the past year. If you haven’t checked out Cajun craft you need to!! Everything on the menu is amazing!

Fiama Fernandez Augusto

The brigadeiro is delicious! Love the gluten free options!

Michelle Osborne

They were out of 2 of the three regular crust options, they did have a gluten free crust, but it was flavorless and they were very light on the cheese.

To be honest I was afraid to try this restaurant that I never heard of but I am glad I did. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of my plate. I ordered a steak with veggies and purple potatoes and it was amazing... everything was melting in my mouth. My kiddos loved their gluten free meals (grilled chicken and sweet potato fries). We ended the meal with a delicious strawberry cheesecake. You need to try this place! The staff is great and welcoming and the food is just amazing!
