Top 14 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens to Explore in Lexington

Allison Zebell

Loved the food, they had gluten free options on a separate menu. The whipped goat cheese was so yummy!!

Helpful staff upfront. Was knowledgeable of my gluten-free needs and kindly answered my questions. Ordered the wok tossed fried rice with steak and it was great. Beware, it is a huge serving. Also enjoyed the gluten free egg roll. Accompanied both of those with the gluten free soy sauce that they had available. It was a great meal for an even greater price. I would absolutely go back.

I LOVE it here. The staff were really attentive to my gluten allergy and generous with their portions. They were also very friendly and efficient. They went above and beyond!

What started out as a not so good service, was turned in to a good one. My daughter has celiac, and I ordered a gluten free dinner to go. When I arrived home, there was flour tortillas in her meal. I called the restaurant back, talked to the manager Gali. She apologized and hand delivered her a new meal. I can’t thank Gali enough for caring about the service and my daughter condition enough to offer correction. Papi’s, great choice as a manager. Gali, keep up the great work.

A hidden gem! On our most recent roadtrip, we wanted to find a small business restaurant to support. Being in Lexington, the “bourbon” part of the title interested me. When trying to to find this restaurant, the GPS took us directly to it, but there was a restaurant about two doors down that we thought was actually this restaurant. Come to find out, there is a small window and door and that is where this gem lies. Then we realized that it did not actually have anything to do with the drink bourbon, but more on the lines of Bourbon Street when it came to Mardi Gras. This did not deter us, though, as we were in love when we walked inside. Very colorful atmosphere, Mardi Gras beads hanging all over the place, Local and Louisiana type art decorating the walls and tables. Upon entering, the worker who was extremely friendly, explained everything about the dishes and how they came. We were very impressed by him! 😀 We ordered two dishes that were half-and-half. One had Chicken Etouffee and Gumbo. The other was Red Beans/Sausage and Chicken Creole. Once I took a bite, I was instantly taken back to my childhood when I lived in Biloxi, Mississippi. Something about the taste just took me all the way back. I’m not even sure which item it was that I tasted or mixture of everything that it brought back. I cannot forget the butter bread. That was probably one of the most amazing breads I have ever tasted and went very well with these meals. 🍞 They had numerous sauces to accompany your meals. The food definitely had a kick in a few areas, but it was absolutely amazing! 🔥 I would come here again and again and suggest others give it a try if you haven’t and are in the area! A very laid back setting. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available.

Gluten-free options, good food, and pretty affordable. The interior could use an update, though. There is some damage to the booth seats.

Amazing gluten free brick fire oven pizza.

My wife has celiac so we’re always looking for good gluten free options. Simply put, the food was very good while the service was very bad. The workers were short, apathetic, and borderline rude. Maybe they were just having a bad day? 🤷🏻Be kind. It’s free and easy!

Writing this review for our server, Will. He was very attentive in our needs, especially for Carol who has a Gluten allergy. He helped her with the menu and explained everything in detail. He insured that she received what she asked for and made sure everything was not contaminated for her. He took very good care of our table and made sure we had everything we needed. Please give him a raise because you have a gold mine working for you that really cares for the customer. Please tell him thank you again from Carol, Walt, Jennie and Greg.

Excellent bison burgers and gluten free buns!

Yall! This is the place! Fellow vegetarians/vegans, this is an incredible spot to check out. Blue has an extensive vegan sushi menu & it is DIVINE. I have never had any sushi I’ve enjoyed, so I was uncertain at first. I met my parents here for dinner since they are huge sushi lovers & I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was absolutely some of the best food I’ve had in a minute at a restaurant as a vegetarian. Started off with the charred edamame, bc who doesn’t love a great bowl of edamame before dinner? I use to not love sushi bc of the seaweed wrap, so I was happy to know they had alternatives, soy rice paper & cucumber. I enjoyed their Thai & Crunchy Cabbagge rolls. I was shocked at how much I loved sushi, even went back a day later lol. Everything was super tasty. The flavors & textures were everything!!! Not only was the food great, but I highly recommend sitting at the bar. Our bartender Gabrielle provided excellent service. My family & I appreciated your kindness! Gabrielle was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. My mom is gluten free & we are always grateful when our server is eager to help & knows how to accommodate. Thank you for your service, can’t wait to come back!

First time at BJs in Lexington and we are so glad we stopped. Our server Angel was amazing and kind! All the items we tried were delicious! Our party had the Kickin' chicken sandwich, gluten free chicken bacon ranch pizza, broccoli cheese soup, cheeseburger sliders, and couscous mac and cheese balls. Also the pizookies were a hit, I would recommend the triple chocolate one.

Pat Armstrong

Easily the best Italian sub available. Mmmmmmmm pepper relish adds a little kick. Best gluten free option according to my picky teen. Always fresh and fast.

Food was great but at this particular location they do NOT have dedicated pans and fryers unlike the app says they do. They have lots of gluten free options and are very understanding and accommodating, but also are upfront about how their food is handled. They had a sign talking about their policies and that there is a risk of cross contamination. The information on Atly is incorrect, but they do have tasty gluten free food. Just a decent risk of cross contamination.

I took my daughters out to Parlor as a treat, we were first timers here. There is meter parking on the side of the building and a small strip of free parking in the back, parking was pretty good for the area. The 4 of us each got a donut, and the 4 of us have different reviews. Service was phenomenal, the staff was so friendly and patient. As for the food, we got the vegan option of their donuts and they come gluten free which was nice because i needed mine to be both gluten free and vegan. I personally wasnt a fan, but understand i am a plain jane kinda gal, and these are fancy gourmet donuts. It was great for what its supposed to be, but not for me preference wise. My daughter however LOVED it. Shes more of a classy gal, she loves fancy places and macarons lol so this was right up her alley. They are on the more expensive side, but what isn't these days? Also, again, i would consider these gourmet donuts. Think along the realm of crumble cookie in donut form with a more hipster vide to it. Give them a try.
