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.

This place is awesome! the gluten free bolognese is incredible and they made a dairy free substitution for my allergies!!

Great tasting gluten free fried chicken and friendly atmosphere.

It's a good place to eat. The service is typically great. The food and drinks are what they should be. I would classify this as a new-school Greek diner. A very casual, inexpensive, sit-down restaurant with a huge variety on the menu to suit a wide variety of tastes. We have many similar restaurants in the northeast. Some of my family members have celiac (gluten allergy) and Bernie's has done a great job both with preparation as well as variety. I have one complaint: my gyro platter only had 3 kalamata olives on it! Μαλακίες!

Kay Somers

Great gluten free food at a reasonable price!

Rocked socks

Bad food for the price. Only really good as a gluten free option, but even then it's still very expensive for what you get. Pancakes suck too.

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!

Mystic Mirror

I loved that they had gluten free toast & pancakes. Our guy Tyrone was amazing and attentive. Bringing hot maple syrup for the pancakes was a great touch.

Melissa Hodgson

Though a little worn (and obviously well patronized), and the outside comes in.... this is a really well designed menu, fabulous staff, and the cheesecake is above the expected. I love how much is gluten free, and no questions asked about the allergy, and that the menu reflects a variety of tastebuds of well researched foodies. These are definitely not the digs of your average pub in a small town. They know their food. I recently brought a group of ladies there, and there was something for everyone. *The Greek Burger needs more sauce, but that's just me. I love Tzatziki sauce. And the Sweet Potato fries are also good with Tzatziki sauce. Thanks to the staff for quick service and accurate drinks (Unsweet tea is a huge deal for those of us with that taste bud). lots of love to Dooley's!

We are so thankful for Sunflour Bakery! For the past 4 years, we’ve ordered a gluten free, vegan cake due to wheat and egg allergies for our daughter, and they always turn out so delicious and beautiful. This year was our favorite! Having a local shop able to accommodate this request is SO amazing to us!

Marie Coffin

Authentic neighborhood café, has great down-home cooking, including all-day breakfast. Lots of gluten-free options. Service is outstanding!

Kim Erb

A great experience from start to finish. My cousin has a gluten allergy and our waitress Carly and the manager Ian personally made sure everything was safe for her to eat. We appreciated going above and beyond for that. Try the elote dip!

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!

Ben Dubiel

Great food and service. Been many times but Cass was awesome today. A bit pricey for breakfast but nice to be able to bring my celiac wife.

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.

Stephen Rampersad

A very cool atmosphere to dine in. The menu options were great. My wife was accommodated well for her gluten allergy, as the menu was detailed and labeled. The food was excellent and came out at a reasonable time.

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!

Rebecca Woods

I love that our server Bee was attentive to all of our needs, made sure that I was safe with my gluten-free diet, and had a huge smile on her face while she was taking care of our large party here tonight. We appreciate you!

Daniel Keller

They made a wonderful wood fired pizza and they even have a gluten free crust that my wife said is the best she has had in years.

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.

Lael Rudisill

Visited some friends out here who highly recommended this place and they were Right! Amazing food with gluten free options! I haven't had a crab cake in forever due to celiac and theirs were GREAT!! Even had one of the cheese dip appetizers that was gluten free as well! Wife really enjoyed her catch of the day tacos too. Live band was playing and the cool sea air blowing thru the open windows really made for an outstanding evening. Would give 10 stars if possible!!

Fay Russell

Best avocado toast in town! If you’re gluten-free, they have lots to offer! It’s become my favorite little place to go!!

Dominique W

Delish Gluten Free Pasta dishes and they offer Gluten Free Focaccia

Caleb Fritz

We greatly enjoyed High Test Deli while on our vacation! It was recommended to us by our hiking guide and he was spot on. They had good gluten-free options with special precautions for those with celiac disease. Their menu had a wide variety of sandwich styles and some really cool ice cream sandwiches. Make sure you visit!

Patrick Moore

"No wait, Come on in" on the website despite a legitimate wait on arrival and staff trying to legitimize the "no wait" on the website when asked. And no blue cheese option for the buffalo chicken (no blue cheese at all). Ranch only? 🤢 Then 2 of the wraps we ordered came out wrong, one with tomatoes which my nephew is allergic to, despite the waiter taking all of the correct information from us. And if you need extra napkins you'd better ask up front and multiple times. We asked for extra napkins for a table of 7 people and got 2 napkins. Then my sister asked if we could have an extra napkin for each person and they brought 2 more. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Positives: quick, friendly and courteous staff, good food, gluten free options. It's too bad this was overshadowed by the bait and switch website advertising and added on by the incomprehensible no blue cheese decision.

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

Purps Meow

Great food. Fast friendly service. Gluten free options are clearly marked. Will definitely try to hit this place up next vacation!

Emily Bowles

Despite being listed as celiac-friendly, this place is absolutely not safe for people with celiac disease. When I asked for a glove change, the staff told me there was “no point” due to cross-contamination on the counters and made no effort to accommodate. There is no dedicated appliance (toaster/panini press), and their attitude toward basic safety measures was dismissive at best. It’s very clear they do not understand or respect the precautions necessary for someone with celiac. Disappointed and would not recommend for anyone needing a medically gluten-free meal. Very disappointing, it was my favorite before becoming diagnosed.

Ashley Balzer

Extremely cute little spot in downtown Wilmington with lots of a character!! Great lunch spot to grab a sandwich & is extremely allergy friendly! They had gluten free bread and all of their sides were also gluten free. Their homemade chips are seasoned so well & are so good, I’m still thinking about them days after our trip! Also - plenty of vegan options!

Tonya Caudle

So not impressed! They were out of chicken fingers and gluten free sub roll. VERY EXPENSIVE for a little sit down eatery. 5 people and waters to drink cost $75! My husband got the gyro (kept falling apart) and fries, hamburger w/ fries, cheeseburger w/ fries, ham sub, gluten free roll (crumbled when I picked it up because of being so dry) with turkey and cheese w/ sweet potato fries. I get really upset when there’s a lot of money spent and the food is bad. Not sure what everybody else likes about this place because they have good reviews. We don’t like spending lots of money on crappy food.

Sarah Dembowski

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

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!

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

McKenna Wood

Great place to stop for a quick smoothie, juice or snack or work remotely from! I love the chocolate covered banana smoothie and their gluten free avocado toast! Lots of allergy friendly foods!

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.

Chiwoowoo

In town with family and didn’t know if there was a place I could eat safely since I am gluten, dairy etc “free”. Found this place on a gluten free app and my family lovingly decided to try it out so I could join them in a meal. Had to do take out with time constraints in mind. Service was A+. Shocking and unexpected that EVERYONE loved their food. My mom was concerned about not eating “badly” while in town and she was so pleased. She even said that it was the best meal she has had in a long long while. Everything was absolutely delicious. Three of us had the same meal choice and we all devoured it.

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.

Melinda P

So yummy! Gluten friendly options!

Lorna Festa Hanson

A lovely spot in the vibrant and rebuilding Ruver Arts District. Great espresso and fabulous baked goods. Try the gluten-free macarons.

Erin Lynch

Amazing sandwich on gluten free bread. A bit more of a takeout place than sit down

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

Megan Jackson

Food and drinks were superb. I have celiacs and the chef marked on the menu what was safe for me. Awesome farm to table restaurant with unique dishes
