Top 50 Gluten-Free Sandwich Havens Across North Carolina

Stephanie Garcia

English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have loved it every time! They are allergy-friendly, 100% gluten-free, and are willing to make accommodations. They have this vegan cilantro sauce that is phenomenal. I’ve gotten the vegan beyond arepa with avacados, lettuce, and Fritos. The rice and beans (the beans depend on who is making it; there have been some inconsistencies there), but everything else is good. I also love their fresh juices. The passionfruit one is my favorite. English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have always loved it.

GF DF Gluten Free and dairy free chicken sandwhich is AWESOME. I love it and I’m so glad to be able to enjoy something like that at a restaurant. Thank you!

Kay Somers

Great gluten free food at a reasonable price!

Melody Lateer

Besides all the food being absolutely incredible, from the appetizers to the dinner to the dessert, all fantastic. The service was amazing, my family and I went and the server, Tatiana, was the most attentive server I've ever had in my life, was so on top of everything, drinks being topped off, above and beyond and incredibly friendly. I don't reveiw often but felt like this deserved it, definitely suggest this place! Also side note, my mom has celiac and they are very careful with food allergies, her plates even had allergy warning stickers on them. The menus made note of what was gluten free, and spice levels, as well as a low calorie specific menu.

Marie Schwirten

Amazing gluten free baked goods, multiple options!

Diane Eblin

GF hash brown waffles and buckwheat crepes. Yum

Amber Easterling

Lots of gluten free options that are listed on the menu. They also offer gluten free buns for any burgers or sandwiches!

Marci Huntsman

Wonderful breakfast food, amazing gluten-free waffle

Sue & Troy Griepentrog

Perfect place to eat if you're gluten free!!

Sara K

Beware the vegan gluten free muffin. Delicious, but NOT gluten free!

I want to start by saying, we really liked the restaurant and food was great! Their gluten free bread was really good also. The reason for the 3 star review though is solely based on our experience with the waitress. When we ordered I ordered their Turkey club, hella good btw, and asked for gluten free bread. I then asked for the french fries. Her body language and attitude immediately changed very aggressively and replied, “I can’t give you that” I asked why, and she said “because they’re fried in the same oil as other things”. I then tried to explain that I have more of a gluten intolerance and would be fine. I live with it and know my body. “She then got even more rude and defensive and said “ Well I will not be responsible if you get sick then” I have never been treated like that over gluten before. I greatly appreciate the concern she was trying to convey however the level of rude and tone of talking to me like a child was extremely off putting and honestly will never go back there because of her. We genuinely really loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant until her. Maybe she was having a bad day but to be nice and friendly and then a complete 180 difference was extremely disappointing.

Great spot if you’re gluten free! We ordered take out and when I talked to them on the phone about celiac they were very knowledgeable and accommodating! Lots of options! I had a gluten free grilled chicken sandwich and a house salad. The gf bun was great and the grilled chicken was also very good! My (gluten eating) boyfriend got the cheese steak sandwich and enjoyed it (he’s from Philly)

Amber Easterling

The best place for GF eats!! Everything on the menu can be made gluten-free except for the mac & cheese! The owner’s daughter is gluten-free, so she wanted to make a place where everyone felt safe eating! Fried chicken tenders, fried flounder, barbecue, hot dogs, fried pickles, fried okra! Cake! They have it all! Separate prep area and fryers!

Tesha Gulati

Great gluten free and vegetarian options

Greg Forrest

What a gem. Breakfast sandwich far exceeded my expectations. And they have gluten free bread that is good. Wine and beer hall with cool patio out front. I'll be back.

Yanni Bistro is truly a hidden gem in Matthews, NC. I’ve been here a few times before and always loved their food—especially the salads, which are consistently fresh and flavorful. And let’s not forget the gingersnaps. It seems like every time I visit, they’re generously offering complimentary gingersnaps. Today, I stopped in on a whim during my day off and ordered a lavender latte with almond milk and a gluten-free BLT. I decided to sit outside, soaking in the minimalist decor and letting the sound of birdsong become the soundtrack to my morning. Then something unexpected and lovely happened—the owner brought my BLT out to me personally and struck up a conversation. What started as a quick meal turned into a 30-minute, soul-filling talk about food, wellness, and the importance of clean ingredients. I learned that everything on the menu is sourced locally from the farmers market next door, and I could genuinely feel his passion and care behind every bite. Yanni Bistro gets 10 out of 5 stars for their incredible customer service, peaceful atmosphere, and commitment to healthy, locally-sourced ingredients. They also offer fantastic gluten-free and vegan options, which is a huge plus. If you’re in the area—go. Take yourself on a breakfast date. You might just leave with more than a full belly.

Krystal Aubry

Really nice outdoor seating space, and the crab cake sandwich I had was fantastic. What I appreciated most is when I had questions about ingredients in some of the dishes, the cook came out and talked to me and made sure I ordered something completely gluten free. We'll be back there again next year!

Finney P

Gluten free pizza was delicious.

Sarah Edwards

A true Charlotte institution. It never gets old and the atmosphere is dreamy. The burgers are elevated. There are lots of fresh foods to choose from and they also have a variety of vegan and gluten free options. Maybe the best restaurant in Charlotte!

Amber Easterling

They have a variety of options that are extremely safe for those that have celiac disease. A majority of items are already gluten free or can be made gluten free! The fryers are 100% gluten free along with a spare pizza oven. Any of the pizzas can be made gluten free. It is prepared on cauliflower crust! All pastas can be made gluten free and are prepared in separate boiler to maintain no cross-contamination. I was there for a girls night, so we just ordered small dishes to share. I’d love to try the pasta and pizza. The restaurant in itself is extremely nice.

Melissa

I love pizza, especially wood fire pizza. This was the absolute best pizza I’ve ever had. I had the Sicilian pizza. One of the people with me had a gluten free pizza (I can’t remember what kind). She also really liked hers. The gluten free crust is made there. We also enjoyed the hot artichoke dip.

Melanie Elrod

Tasteful Beans is a place with a variety of delicious food and the gluten free selection is excellent - try the bagels! It is a place to see friends and to make new friends. The staff is personable and treats all customers with kindness. No matter the time of day, I always have some great food and a good time.

Amber Easterling

They mark all of their GF items as GS (gluten sensitive). They are willing to accommodate when they can, but there are a lot of fried foods here. They do have sides like mashed potatoes and salad that can be substituted for fried sides. I went safe and had a Jamaican jerk chicken bowl. It was absolutely amazing! They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as an indoor and outdoor bar.

Dominique W

Delish Gluten Free Pasta dishes and they offer Gluten Free Focaccia

Olivia H.

Great food and service! The gluten free bread was great, and I appreciate that they will do a special preparation for celiac.

Josh Barbier

The food here is very good for airport food. There were burgers, sandwiches and other foods. Gluten free bread offered but they do share toaster with other breads. All food cooked on the same cook top as well so cross contamination is all but guaranteed. Not great for those sensitive celiacs.

Streamlined Weddings

Amazing Gluten Free Experience! Wonderful staff, clean space, and everyone was super friendly!

P C

I wish I could remember her name who greeted us. The moment we walked in, she was so kind, very informative about the Gluten free/dairy free options. I will definitely be back; my son did not get sick so I definitely know there was no cross contamination and they took extra precaution. Thank you again for the wonderful service, food was amazing!!

Emily Bowles

Great coffee. I used to love the BLT and all sandwiches. They have gluten free bread/bagels but no dedicated appliances so just can’t get it toasted. Staff was very kind!

Karen Cronin

Our party had several food allergies, including gluten, dairy, and eggs. GF items marked on menu. The server was knowledgeable of dietary restrictions. GF pizza was delicious, one had the pesto and one had the Buffalo chicken. Dairy and egg allergy had the St Lucia barbecue chicken. No issues.

Rook

Their gluten free bread is delicious and unique! Not just a sandwich served on an Udi’s bun. Their sandwiches are delicious and the place itself is super cute. Great costumer service and lovely presentation.

Aubrey M (Aubrey2000)

Love The Gluten Free Options! Very Fresh and Tastes Delicious!

Dave Baco

No gluten free options as provided. Terrible wait staff... loud personal conversations, music playing had explicit language for all to hear! Chicken was dryer than our table. The cheese dog was just a sliced burnt hot dog with slices of processed american cheese. No windows! Sad service and food for the price!

Sarah Dembowski

Great place for my daughter who has Celiac. She enjoyed the chicken sandwich and fries. Very helpful staff.

MaryAnn Barnes

This is a great place!! We enjoyed our delicious burgers & fries at the huge outdoor seating area with our 2 dogs. Their gluten free bun was pretty good too. We then shared a piece of their gluten free carrot cake and OMG!!! We'll definitely be back!

Marilyn Wallace

This was the halfway point to meet up with our son to celebrate some family birthdays. We waited at the bar and had some drinks and an appetizer. (super excited that they had chambord and could make my favorite drink!) We put our name on the wait list and moved to a table closer to the time of his arrival. The staff was very accommodating in helping us make sure we had a table when he arrived. The place is super laid back with a lot of locals in to watch the game on a Saturday night. The food was all yummy and there were gluten free options for 2 family members. Everything is very reasonably priced. If you are in a hurry, don't go here, it is not a fast food restaurant. If you are looking to sit back and relax, this is the spot. We will be back!

Norman Carter

Stale gluten buns fall apart when you touch it. Good burger otherwise

Deborah Carson

Man listen! These Fuel Balls are amazing! I definitely feel energized. Even my headache went away. The smoothies are good. The gluten free bread is actually tasty. It’s a bit on the pricy side.

Pamela Stroud

Had some excellent sandwiches here including a lamb burger special that was amazing. I appreciate that the sandwiches are unique, daily specials and gluten free bread option. There is an upcharge if you want a side other than chips from a bag. Nice outdoor seating area on the sidewalk.

Krista Scialabba

There’s nothing better than a grilled cheese sandwich from Cheesesmith ESPECIALLY because they have GF options for those like myself who can’t have gluten. 10/10 all around.

Abigail Pepper

We had to make sure we got some BBQ on our way out after stopping here earlier in the week and really enjoying it! They are very knowledgeable about gluten free limitations as well and have delicious fries! Their house BBQ sauce is divine.

Artoni Gashi

I am so excited they had gluten-free bread so you can do any sandwich and gluten-free. The salad bar was really good. Overall experience is awesome. Definitely recommend if you have a dietary problem or issue.

Nat Becker

Legion Brewing South Park location has a whole gluten free menu. The southwest salad and bbq sandwich are my favorites for lunch + dinner. They make an amazing monte cristo & always have a lot of local ingredients. We bring all guests who come in town here because of the variety of options and knowledgeable staff.

Teresa Kennedy

This place is a hidden gem. I eat gluten free due to.a Celiac diagnosis. I ordered the buffalo chicken panini with GF bread. It was delicious. My husband had the steak sandwich. His was excellent as well. We went back for breakfast and had an açaí bowl and bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. Service, food and atmosphere are all 5 stars!

Madelyn M.

GLUTEN FREE bun option. Truly a take-out restaurant. It is located in a shopping center and there is limited seating inside and outside. The smash burgers were awesome and the fries were hot, fresh, and delicious. A tad expensive (two yum yum burgers and fries, one with a GF bun came to $42) but really good.

Courtney King

My husband and I have decided this is our favorite lunch spot! We have NEVER had a bad meal. Food is always top notch, folks are always friendly, inside and outside dining, gluten-free options, and great kids options... and they even have a drive-thru. We are pretty tough critics and we will keep going back

Kelly Conley

I was told that a bread was gluten free that they used on a burger, that it was from a bakery in town. I looked up the bakery and found that they are not really gluten free. Then when I asked further, found out it's sourdough with gluten free starter (I had already had the sandwich with what I thought was gluten free bread). I was told by the manager that if I have celiac I shouldn't eat it but if I'm sensitive to gluten it's ok. That doesn't make sense if indeed there is white flour in the bread. I am sensitive to gluten and have to go to the emergency room if I eat gluten. If the item is not gluten free, please don't tell people it's gluten free. By definition gluten free is wheat (including all purpose), rye and barley. They could not tell me what the ingredients are in the bread. Please see the following I got off the internet about "gluten starter": "While the natural bacteria may make it easier to digest, it doesn't render it gluten-free. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, be sure that you use gluten-free flour for the starter and gluten-free ingredients for all of the baked goods you plan to use your gluten-free sourdough starter in." I took an gluten free enzyme pill when I got home. Hope it works. It didn't work. I am sensitive to gluten and got very sick. Had to be in the emergency room. BEWARE GLUTEN SENSITIVE OR CELIAC, THEY ARE CLAIMING A BREAD IS GLUTEN FREE AND IT IS NOT. THE MANAGER WOULDN"T EVEN LISTEN TO ME

Michelle Brooks

Such an awesome place for breakfast or lunch! Great food, cute place, and friendly service. They have vegan and gluten free options and are able to answer questions about ingredients. I had the Running Man with gluten free wrap and an iced chai with almond milk - both were super yummy!

Lindsay Cepriano

Amazing. I wish I could live here and just eat from the menu for the rest of my life. I was amazed by the all of the gluten free items. I had chicken and waffles for the first time ever and that hot honey sauce was so good. Next time we come to visit we’re going to book a room at the inn. Our awesome server told us breakfast is included with your stay! The inn is super cute and the restaurant is gorgeous. I love the look of the place, it’s so cozy. And the mimosas were so good! We will definitely be back!!
