Top 9 Gluten-Free Spots to Discover in O'Hare, Chicago

This place was very good. I have celiac and am super sensitive and did not get sick. I informed the staff of my allergy and they changed their gloves, used different serving spoons for hot toppings, and gave me cold toppings from new containers. I would definitely recommend this place!

I come here every time I fly through Chicago - it's hard to find gluten free options at airports, but they have corn poblano for lunch and yogurt for breakfast (and most importantly, margaritas!). The bartenders have always been so friendly; it's a pleasant escape in an otherwise bustling and stressful airport.

Not too crowded and excellent food. I ate gluten-free. It was like eating at a fine Italian restaurant away from an airport. It was a unique airport dining experience. A restaurant with that old country Italian flare with accents. And they are excited to tell you about their foods and wines. Worth visiting.

Early morning breakfast with good coffee. They were able to accommodate special diet (no potato starch, no gluten)

My husband and I ate dinner here on a Sunday and had a pretty good experience. I have gluten and dairy food allergies so I wanted to make sure I could get gluten free rolls and I was able to. The hostess was clueless and couldn’t even tell us if there were gluten free options, nor could she bother to put in the effort to hand my husband a menu when he asked. I wonder how many people with gluten allergies have not stopped here because of her since she was working during both our treks through the airport. Other than her terrible attitude, the waitress was very sweet and attentive and reassured us that the rolls could be made gluten free and the chefs were good about gluten allergies. She did mention that any of the rolls could be made gluten free and I believe the bowls can be gluten free also. We ordered 3 rolls to share (2 gluten free) and I had no issues at all. The portion size was large and the rolls were good- much better than supermarket sushi as other reviews have commented. They even had tamari. There wasn’t a lot of noise from people walking by and the chairs were pretty comfortable as well. If we have another layover at O’Hare while traveling, we will definitely be stopping again!

I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. I was assured it was gluten free. There are no allergen menus available and everything on my salad should have been safe for me. The chicken was definitely grilled on a contaminated grill. I have been SO sick for days as a result. My husband ordered a burrito bowl from Burrito Beach next door, and was also told his food was gluten free. The steak was the same situation. I strongly recommend AVOIDING this place if gluten is a problem for you.

Gluten free choices clearly labeled. Good food and service. The only thing I didn't care for was the music was so loud and that you couldn't hear any airport updates.

Super busy Ohare restaurant near security, but worth the wait if you have time. Gourmet burgers and sandwiches. Portions are not skimpy. No gluten-free buns available, but the fries are delicious and prepared in a dedicated frier.
