Top 50 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots Across Chicago Loop

Crystal Nicholls

Wonderful Dining. The atmosphere of this restaurant was fantastic. We had a wonderful experience. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten-free, and the restaurant seemed to be very conscious of gluten safety.

Dedicated GF restaurant with the best bowls! I love the fan favorite.

Maria Hirst

Our server, Nicki, was great. The gluten free pizza was delicious. I ordered the Chicago classic.

We wanted something quick and easy close to our hotel. We found food revival, an indoor food court. I chose art of Dosa, where everything is gluten free and vegan and absolutely delicous! Server was so helpful and made suggestions. I chose the Buffalo Dosa and it came with the greatest spicy sauce.

Rock music, best burger I've ever had and Gluten free buns, fries and wings!!! Go you won't regret it!

Jazmin Saban

Excellent place, great option if you have any dietary restrictions, it is all dairy free, gluten free, I loved it! I recommend

The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked. Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great. Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.

Best grilled cheese ever! My wife got the gluten free pita version and absolutely loved it as well. The sourdough they use gets a fantastic crunch, and the cheese tastes amazing. People complaining about the price need to go back to the preservative packed crap at McDonald's. Using only farmers market ingredients costs money. I'm glad to pay extra for quality.

Stan’s Donuts and Coffee was a delightful surprise during our Chicago trip! After being deterred by long lines elsewhere, we found Stan’s and were thrilled by their gluten-free donut options. The blueberry donut was my personal favorite—perfectly balanced in flavor and texture—while the pumpkin spice and chocolate were also big hits. The staff was friendly and efficient, even during a busy afternoon. We paired our donuts with a hot chocolate and black coffee, both of which complemented the treats perfectly. The cozy atmosphere and quick service made this a must-visit spot for anyone with a sweet tooth.

I search for gluten free breakfast places during my stay in Chicago and Meli came up in result walking distance from Hilton hotel Warm friendly dinner with bar seating or table service The gluten free pancakes were delicious and large stack with jug of maple syrup on side. Very chilled place and I would add this to my visit again list

Leah

I don't know what took me so long to try this place, but I'm so happy I did. Delicious salads and pastries and lots of gluten-free options. Looking forward to trying their breakfast too. The prices are pretty average now that all food is so expensive. You're better off spending on healthy, well-made food.

I got the butchers block skillet. It was full of bacon, ham, sausage, cheese and hash browns. It was very good. Kind of salty with all the meat and potatoes but still very tasty. They don't have Splenda but they offer Stevia and regular sugar packets. I went on a Thursday afternoon and we walked in and got a table for 6 with no wait. If you're planning on going on the weekend I would plan for a long wait. Every weekend when I pass by the restaurant there's always a line waiting for a table. This restaurant is down the street from a lot of hotels and from major Chicago attractions like the Bean. I also got pancakes with my meal. All and all it was a good meal. The portions are generous. They do offer gluten free options. They have Coke products. My friend got their berry Bliss waffle. It looked delicious. Our waiter could have been better. I asked for oat milk and I got regular cream. My friend asked for a diet Coke and never got it until right before our food came out. They also have a large outdoor seating area.

If you're gluten-free, they have options for you! I had the gluten-free deep dish, which was one of the better gluten-free pizza crusts I've had, but the filling was the star! I had the classic and added the spinach mix. It's very tasty, and I highly recommend it. You will need to bring your patience, as there made be a long wait for a table, even with a reservation, and you could wait about 30 minutes for your food to be prepared.

Had a work lunch here last week, and was happy to see there is a separate gluten free menu available, so I didn't get my hopes up about something I couldn't actually have. My dish came out with a little flag indicating "allergy" so there was no confusion at the table. Most importantly, the food was very good!

George W

Outstanding food, service, ambience. And the prices are extremely reasonable relative to other choices. The attentiveness of the staff rivals Michelin starred restaurants. The pasta was gluten free and fabulously delicious.

Jordan Fridsma

very busy but workers did an excellent job, great attention to detail for gluten free

Andrew Halaby

Topper did a great job reviewing my gluten free options… cheers to Topher!

Anndrea Golightly

Ate in the bar as we didn’t have a reservation. I ordered a salad without croutons since I am gluten free and salad still came with croutons. The gluten free pasta was over cooked and the Alfredo sauce was just ok.

Brenda Wamsley

Great food! Husband has gluten and fuctose allergies and he was able to eat here with no issues afterwards.

I hosted an event at Pizano's, on Madison recently. They have a really nice event space on the lower level of the restaurant. The event coordinator was very helpful and accommodating. She helped me select the menu and made sure we had gluten free options. We had quite a few attendees who had never tried deep dish pizza before. Everyone loved the pizza, including some thin crust options. In addition to food, we were provided drink options as well. The cost was very reasonable, the service was great, and the space was perfect for our needs. We will definitely consider hosting a future event in their event space. I highly recommend this option for your next large gathering. We had about 30 people with room to spare.

Mat M

Served by Khushi; she made us feel welcome, cared for my wife’s gluten allergy and provided exceptional service.

Heather Smith

OMG! I've never had an arepas before. Highly recommend! Delicious 🌽 and they have gluten free

Ginger Andrews

The glutenless donut ( not celiac appropriate) was the best I've ever eaten. Love it. Want more

Greg Boutsikaris

Avli is a beautiful place with great food and good atmosphere. My wife and I are both gluten free and our server, Jen, was knowledgeable about our dietary restrictions. We began with hummus and tzatziki with gluten free pita which was a real treat, followed by grilled octopus. All of the above were delicious. We split the lamb chops with broccoli and roasted potatoes. The chops were tender and flavorful. My only complaint was the roasted potatoes were heavy on lemon for my taste but but, honestly, reminiscent of yaya’s. Special shoutout to Jen our server who was professional and personable adding to our entire experience. Highly recommended.

Petter “Siston” Svensson

Flew from sweden to eat at lukes lobster again. Usualy insanley good. But the Usual performance dont matter when they do not have any glutenfree bread at all to serve...

Jyoti Yelagalawadi

Decent place to have a quick bite. We were extremely hungry, so I didn't take pictures of the taco. Gluten-free and vegetarian options were available, so that made my day

Juan Uribe

Fantastic coffee shop to have a good healthy (or not so healthy breakfast). The servers do not have a great attitude and that takes away from the whole experience. The place is well located and the seating is comfortable. Sometimes its a stretch to get a table, lots of people with laptops. We had the garden greens salad which was very fresh with good ingredients. The almond latte is also very good. They hace gluten free bread which is delicious. Their sandwiches are also very good. We tried the chicken club and the morning sandwich. They have cholula hot sauce in the counter which is great!

Magdalena Arletta

We stopped by for a bite to eat and were greeted by incredibly friendly staff in a beautifully decorated and inviting atmosphere. While there weren't specific gluten-free options on the menu, they graciously provided a suitable substitution upon request. The food was delicious!

KayLeigh

Friendly service, amazing food with gluten free options and wonderful coffee! A must try while visiting Chicago!

Ben

Fine food, nothing special. Catered for my gluten free and vegan requirements, but nothing special

Damien Bassman

Nice menu with all the Japanese and Chinese dishes you crave. Went there with a big party (two families with kids) and lots of special orders (vegan, gluten free, no cruciferous vegetables, no nuts, etc…) and every dish came as requested. Flavors were mostly good, a few staples (egg rolls. Fried rice) were a bit bland. But the sushi was all great and fresh! Particularly the vegan sushi rolls were all tasty and plentiful. A good place for a large and picky party!

Kit Johnson

On my wandering through Chicago’s Millennium Park on a hot day, I found myself wanting a light healthy lunch that wouldn’t weigh me down. Protein Bar is a short walk from Millennium Park, and offers various bowls, salads, and wraps with healthy and vegetarian options as well as a menu that clearly marks what has gluten. I ordered the Healthy Club Salad and thought it was delicious and tasted fresh. There was way more dressing on the salad than I would want, so next time I would ask for the dressing on the side. After eating my salad I feel fueled but not over full. A perfect compliment for a long walk exploring the city. As I overheard the table next to me ’This food slaps!’

Jessica Pauline Grimm Hernández

Very kind staff that explains things well and is knowledgeable about gluten. My husband and I shared a large bowl. The only difference between regular and large was the scoops of protein. Delicious flavors and plenty of sauces are available. The staff knew which toppings contained gluten and offered to put them to the side in a separate dish for my husband. Small inside with a few tables to eat in. Chair and booth style seating. Clean bathroom.

Haley S

Tilly is always 10/10. Services, bagels, vibes EVERYTHING! We go every weekend and love trying the BOTW. I appreciate that they have dairy free cream cheese and gluten free options. The bagels are also sourdough which means I don’t have to worry about the ingredients with having a corn allergy. Thanks for being you Tilly Bagel!

Mrs. Woods

We enjoyed this place so much that we went twice in one weekend for brunch! The staff is incredibly friendly and will make you feel right at home. We enjoyed taking in the decor and sipping on some cocktails while we waited to be seated. The food was fantastic and the portion sizes will have you needing a to-go box. I personally appreciated that the menu had quite a selection of gluten-free options. I also cannot emphasize the cleanliness of this facility; even the bathroom was refreshingly spotless! Would definitely recommend to a friend!

Greg Boutsikaris

My wife and I went last night and it was great. We are both gluten free (my wife for medical reasons) and our server was knowledgeable about our dietary restrictions. We share the ribs which were amazing, tender, flavorful, and delicious. We had the Cole slaw and rice for side and it was more than enough food. The atmosphere is great ‘old school’ pub with plenty of TVs to watch sports. Our server Cesar was excellent. Professional and personable and added to our enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.

Ken Douros

Great selection of gluten-free & vegan pastries. Limited seating, but with most people only getting quick bites, they open up fairly quickly...

aly

Easy access by subway (red line) and bus (146). Easy menu to be able to build your meal. The were halal and had gluten free options. Had the burger and milkshake. Was epic! Glad we were able to stop by!

Joseph P

Very good italian food with gluten free noodle options for my wife. Service was great but a little slow toward the end. Right next door to the Goodman theatre.

Jessica Capati

Good gluten free options (not necessarily celiac safe, but gluten sensitive for sure), food was all good. Service was just a bit slow at times.

Alejandra Vega

A must place to try if you have any dietary restrictions and traveling. The place have many Gluten Free options (GF). I got the Morning Mexicali bowl, very delicious and flavorful (GF). The restaurant was very clean and had great customer service. - Vega Approved 👍🏼✔️

Dori H

Charlie was excellent. OP is very accommodating for Gluten Free. The short rib and scallop starter was delicious. Wish it was an entree. The scallop entree wasn't as good as we remembered from a couple years ago. Risotto was too al dente. The English peas tasted raw and the flavor wasn't balanced. The grouper entree was fabulous! Creme Brulee was the best we have ever had. Every cocktail was amazing. We definitely had a wonderful meal.

Cynthia Sanchez

Delicious. Many choices. Pizza, pasta dishes (gluten-free available) , salad combo choices, sandwiches, and ready to go items.

Adriana Bueno

Food is always good. However, today was the 2nd time that something was missing from my order. Last time it was the salmon and now it’s the gluten free pita. I’ll think twice before I order from this place again. Manager didn’t even give a credit or discount for a next time. Really bad customer service and experience.

Elizabeth Zeman

The food was delicious, however, for a $400 dinner receipt for two adults and a child, I expect better quality of service. I guess I'm just old school, but we chose this "$$$$" restaurant and expected a more formal/upscale ambiance. We were seated right in the middle of the room at the table. As a woman, I'm fairly tall I guess (5'8") and the seat was rather short so my knees were at an awkward angle. Not a big deal, but it started to get annoying after awhile of my seat constantly getting bumped into by staff and the table next to us. It was very cramped and if you have to go to the restroom, expect a lot of swerving in and around tables like a maze. It was extremely loud the whole time. I couldn't hear the waiters talking to me about the menu and options, let alone my son and boyfriend at the small table. I was disappointed when I say I expected a more upscale environment when the table behind me was taking pictures of each other w/flash and posing with middle fingers up and tongues out to be "cute". The food was delicious, though, and they do have a gluten free menu which I appreciate. I have a very strict diet and am gluten-free and keto. I specifically chose this restaurant because on the menu they also provide calorie content of each dish and they definitely had some gluten-free and keto-friendly options which is a huge plus for me! With that said, we are willing to spend the extra like we did to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal, but we expect a little better quality atmosphere, too.

Cynthia Scholl

Whitefish grilled with vegetables was delicious and gluten free! My husband loved his salmon sandwich too.. Friendly, fast service, check it out. We went to the Wells St location.

Sindy Reid

Really enjoyed this meal. There is a wide variety of options, and each one states if it has gluten or dairy. There is a large salad bar with a bunch of dressing choices. Would highly recommend.

Lynn Sharpe-Underwood

Amazing and great..even for a gluten senstive person!

Todd Mitchell

Excellent gluten free pasta
