Top 36 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Vernon Hills

BIBIBOP is by far my favorite restaurant. I Am gluten-free and egg free and I love everything that they serve. The way they prepare the avocado, is the best I've ever tasted. When they introduced the crispy chicken, things even got better.

I am in shock. I have been going to Maggiano's all over Illinois and this one in particular with my son and with my family since the beginning when they opened. We have had baby's showers, Birthday dinners for my son with extended family at the Vernon Hills location and Old Orchard location, wedding showers at other locations. Recently we had out of town guests and a large table that was not a great experience (Vernon Hills) as my brother's other half has a gluten allergy and the waiter hounded her every 3-4 minutes, while she was eating. I should have known better not to go back to this once great neighborhood local eatery. We went in early last night, Saturday night before 5pm to have a quick, quiet meal that was fancy, but definitely not cheap. That didn't happen! They looked at us and judged us because maybe we looked a little casual, but we were wearing very nice clothes and they seated us in the bar area that had no guests yet. They were cleaning the bar out with Green towels, loud glasses and bottles, talking loud, making jokes, clapping like we weren't even there. The manager walked in several times and was talking with staff loudly. We were being ghosted and treated like second class citizens. We left and I was furious. There was a total and utter disregard for us being there. I am still in shock at how poorly we were treated, as if we didn't exist. Maciano's has been our restaurant of choice once a week and they have treated us great and their food is outstanding and now I will continue to give them our business. Shame on you, Let us Not Entertain You! Awful!

My experience was incredible! Mitch was our waiter and he’s a 10/10. Fabulous service and the food came out quick and hot. Food was delicious. I had a gluten free bun and it was probably the best gluten free bun I’ve ever had. When I asked what it brand it was, he and the one of the managers made sure I knew the name and even brought out the box to show me. Next time I’m in town I’m definitely going back.

Great pizza both regular and especially gluten free.

Michael Davis

This is one of my kids favorite places. Always great food. I typically share the Gluten Free bowl with my wife. We aren't Gluten free but its just yummy and big enough to share. Miso is good and the price is right. The long bench is showing some wear and needs to be redone. I think they have the same spa music on repeat but SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES. The food is good enough that the music and atmosphere doesn't matter.

Patricia Pipkin

Awesome food and such a friendly staff. I'm gluten free and they were very accommodating. I will be back!

Very good Thai restaurant. All dishes can be made gluten free. Good portion sizes. Great spicy flavor no matter the heat level you like. Worth a try if you're in the area.

Clayton Reynolds

Love their buffet, wife is a picky healthy eater. We can always find food for both of us. Love the pastries. Even have gluten free and vegan pastries. Win win.

Anthony Lanzi

Very nice place, lots of options, and solid options for those that are trying to avoid gluten. Outdoor seating was nice but area was a bit buggy so we had to move indoors. Staff was a little “distracted” from keeping our cups full.

Sage Manning

Amazing food, would recommend for anyone. Nice gluten free options

Ken Rose

Excellent gluten free burger, on a gluten free bun that does not fall apart. Equally excellent gluten free sweet potato fries. Delicious!!!

Mercedes Benitez

Tasty salads, I have a gluten free diet and they have a nice selection of certain salads that are gluten free and taste good.

Kristin Jerving-Bernard

Met up with an old friend and got some portillos! First time eating there since having to eat gluten free but I was pleased with how they made the hot dog. The French fries were good as well! Everything hit the spot and the staff was really friendly, funny and accommodating.

Krista Graham

Great place for lunch. Lots of gluten free options, too!

Yesenia Del Castillo - Johnson

Tony and lithia (I believe that is her name and I apologize if is not the correct spelling) gave my mom and I, exceptional service. We felt very welcomed. Not only that but the FOOD IS AMAZINGLY FRESH AND DELICIOUS!. Great for Vegan , gluten-free free eaters and meat eaters . All healthy and amazing . Location Vernon hills in the plaza 😊.

The staff was wonderful about accommodating my gluten & dairy allergies. Thank you.

Natalia Borkowska Lecaroz

Went here for lunch after church and it was so delicious! The staff was very helpful in answering questions about what is gluten and peanut free. There was a wide variety and everything was delicious.

Very popular. Courteous servers gluten free nuggets buns grilled chicken too

Evelyn Bennett

Best gluten free burger ever! The buns are soft and steamed. Excellent food. Very kind staff. Generous supporters of local charities too. Nicely done Shake Shack Vernon Hills!

Lindsey Schultz

Great addition to Mellody Farm. Have dined and and had takeout. Service is good, restaurant is clean and the gluten free bun is fantastic. Knowledgeable about cross contamination too.

Stephanie Hanson

Wonderful gluten free sandwich picked high with meat. Great service.

Jason Casebolt

This place is only for those who like flatbreads and salads. No burgers, French fries, chicken tenders, anything for your typical eater. They don’t put anything on the TV. Staff was friendly and food was different, but I had no interest in any of the food on the menu. Limited choices as well. Good for those who are gluten free or vegan I guess.

Shranda C

It's a beautiful well-kept store that has a lot of organic items, gluten-free, and healthy foods. The prices are high but you're also buying good quality foods.

Brandy Taylor

Really good food and service. Quite a few vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.

Mike Reblin

Great sandwich if you need gluten free bread.

Shenen LeRoy Finnidoah

I have celiacs disease and the staff gorsnoutnofntheorbway to keep me safe. Excellent food, excellent service and very caring and attentive.

Vivek Rao

Delicious food that reminds you of a home-cooked meal in southern India. No frills, just wholesome flavors (try the <<idli sambhar>> and << medhu vada >>). About as close to authentic (southern Indian cuisine) as it gets in Chicagoland with a hefty load of vegetarian and gluten-free items on the menu. The staff are welcoming, polite, courteous and remind you of true Indian hospitality amidst a hygiene pandemic. Support your local business with a healthy fill. Cheers.

I chose Feather Glass for a meeting of 13 people, and Purvi (one of the owners) was amazing at helping coordinate a tasting for us. The value of the tasting and nibbles package is SO GOOD. They were also super accommodating to my gluten and dairy free diet and walked me through which snacks were safe. The owners are so nice and really passionate about the wine, just overall we loved the experience.

Steve Horak

OMG best Mexican I've had in years. Fresh incredible flavors beautiful atmosphere with plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. The salsas were great as was the mole. Yummmmmmm!!! Ask for Edgar. He's da man

Tonya Talented

Loved how dedicated the employee was! She took my order made my Gluten free pizza and checked me out with a smile!!! And the pizza was delicious!!

Steve Mengyan

This location’s phone number goes to a voicemail no matter what option you choose. The app will not let you choose gluten free bread so we have no way of ordering ahead. Pretty frustrating when the Gurnee locations answers every time and is very nice and helpful.

Mike Goldman

Seriously the best gluten free burger I’ve had in a while. So good. Their cheese fries are awesome too. I will be back. Many times.

Beth Couch

ALWAYS GREAT!!! AND AS A CELIAC, LACTOSE INTOLERANCE IVE NEVER HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TRADITIONAL WINGS!!!!
