Top 41 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Northeast Colorado Springs

This is a great local restaurant. The food is always good, as is the service. It's a small place and can be busy on the weekends. Some dishes can run out on busy nights. They offer a gluten-free menu.

Unfortunately the food is on a decline. Way too much chewy fat in the chicken. It really is disgusting. This has happened the last few times we have eaten here. In previous years it was never this bad. Now it is every single time. The prices haven't increased as much as other quick service restaurants, so perhaps they decided to go with cheaper meat to make up for it. I would absolutely pay a bit more for quality food. The flavors are still good and their gluten free offerings have increased which is fantastic. Hopefully they will improve food quality.

I am hoping the Owner finds this review. ATTN: If you are diagnosed with celiac disease or are sensitive with food allergies - avoid this restaurant. The kitchen staff is sloppy and careless. In all fairness, I am not sure what this restaurant is like when you dine-in. Once or twice per month, I order grilled shrimp tacos to-go when I’m on my home from north academy. One time, a piece of a plastic glove was underneath one of the tacos. The manager asked me to text her a picture of it. I was worried it was a condom, but she assured me it was a glove because it looked exactly like their brand of kitchen gloves. She refunded me and promised it wouldn’t happen again. Thankfully, it didn’t. I continued getting to-go orders with no issues. However, today, I ordered the same shrimp tacos with a side cup of queso. The queso looked normal, it always comes topped with jalapeños. I seen a chunk of something but figured it was a piece of jalapeno. As I kept eating, I realized it was not jalapeños, but instead, beef (or something else, no one knows). I’m not totally sure what it is, but it looks like uncooked beef. Immediately, I called the restaurant to inform them. I wanted to know if it was chorizo or beef, or something else, and if I should prepare to get sick because I did eat part the queso surrounding it. This is when they informed me that I did “not pay enough” for my to-go order. Baro, the bartender, told me the order was $22.09. I gave him $23.00. He said, “I will be right back with your change.” I replied, “no change, thank you!” When I spoke with management, Kiera, I was told I didn’t pay him enough. I’m like, what? Why would he tell me $22.09 then tell me that he’s going to get change? They recently changed their menu and no longer serve black beans or white rice (which I always ordered) so I didn’t know if the price changed. I didn’t even think to question it since he accepted my money, then offered to get change - the remaining 91 cents. It was beyond inappropriate and insulting considering I am sitting here in a state of panic over uncooked meat in my queso. The same state of panic I was in when I found a piece of plastic glove under my taco. Not to mention, I have stage one CKD and try to avoid meat. Avoid this restaurant if you have food allergies or are celiac because I can’t imagine any requests taken seriously in the kitchen. Management needs to take a course on customer service. UCCS is nearby, perhaps the Owner can pay for their class.

Best gluten free crust I’ve had! Toppings were fresh and plentiful. We only picked up to-go but the staff was friendly and the dining area looked very nice. We will definitely be back.

Sheila Barritt

Truly exceptional, the gluten-free menu has many choices, and everything was so fresh and seasoned just right. I would have loved to try dessert, but I was too full to order any. Proportions are definitely filling. The wait staff are very friendly, although we did have to ask for refills a couple of times.

Megan Cash

I absolutely LOVE Santanas! A great menu, and they even have a gluten free only menu, so you don’t have to search through it! This was our second time here, and won’t be our last!

Sarah Guidone

God, this place is a GEM! So grateful to have such an awesome Italian deli in our city! I go there for lunch/dinner, pastries, gluten free pasta, prepared foods, and even a good bottle of olive oil. The staff are always sweet and their Italian sub is all you need if your spirits need lifting.

Lauren Klayton

Pretty basic Italian food. There are some gluten free options but overall pretty "mid" as the kids would say. My daughter's meatballs were dry, I ordered the cod special and the fish was super fresh, the picata was good with fresh capers and not salty. The salmon is farmed but grateful the waitress was knowledgeable on the food.

Mike Kauspedas

The chicken done 3 ways is great. They also have good gluten free selections that are well marked on the menu.

Bethany Tindell

The employees are so great here! The main reason I eat here is because they have a good gluten free bun and delicious food all around. I switch between the burger and veggie burger. My family and I eat here often!

Mackenzie Davis

Colleen was great! I’m gluten free and she did an amazing job explaining and finding out information. Gave us a great experience! Thank you Colleen!!!!

David Boyd

Always fast and friendly service. Dining room us clean and he food delicious. Easily substitute gluten free options!

Casey Cromwell

Gluten free menu and I love the thunder down under flourless dessert! Most outback’s I’ve gone to, including this one, have had good gluten free training.

Andrew Lee

Overall, it was an ok experience. Service was pretty slow on Sunday and they weren’t that busy. Everything from drinks, appetizers to food was slow. Their menus prices are not accurate. Seems to be normal now, but a gluten free pizza was $27. Seems excessive. My wife had the California chicken sandwich and it appears they must get their chicken precooked (sous vide would be my guess) then heat it up some way. At least it tasted like it. For the price they should have a higher standard of service and food.

Third Space is one of my new favorite coffee shops in the Springs! They’re one of the few coffee shops that still has cozy seating so that you can curl up in a chair or on the couch and work for a while or chat with a friend. They also have gluten-free options, great bathrooms and friendly staff. I love coming back here.

Brianna Difillippo

The only place I can go to get my favorite type of pasta!!! And they have gluten-free pizzas for my husband his favorite is the bbq chicken, reasonably priced meals and we definitely get our moneys worth!!! Staff is extremely friendly and a family business that truly appreciates there customers 👏👏👍

Courtney Goode

Best Gluten-free pizza ever! I have lots of dietary restrictions and not only was the staff super helpful and understanding, they did a perfect job on the pizza. It’s fluffy and soft, not crispy and flaked like most gluten free pizza. And the price wasn’t unreasonable!

Rachael Holderman

We were looking for something not too expensive or too long before we went to Cosmo's Magic Theater show and Village Inn was on the way. We were greeted right away and show to our table by a guy who acted like he owned the place (good thing!). I have gluten insensitivities and was asking the server if the skillets had gluten. She told me right away that the Ultimate Skillet is listed on their gluten sensitivities menu and it was delicious when she brought it out. My husband was happy with his chicken ranch sandwich as usual! Overall great service but not smothering. Thank you Village Inn!

Shannon Bedo

Such a lovely little restaurant. Both the server and owner were kind and informative about the food. Super clean and beautifully decorated. The mushroom soup was amazing. The salad was fresh. Cappuccinos were good. Gluten free options available on most dishes.

Chuck Hachmeister

One gluten sensitive option on the menu.

Kelly Hanley

I ordered the club supreme and there is no roast beef at all and the gluten free bread is dry and crumbly. Was looking forward to my sub and I am very disappointed. First time eating here will not go back.

Emily Kate Freeman

Five star pre-game meal! Great quality food cooked to order, fun branding and seating area, friendly and attentive staff who checked how our food tasted. Lots of protein per bowl and gluten free options.

Casey Cromwell

Needed a quick lunch while running errands and was super impressed with how many safe options I could find at Clean Eatz. They have a nutritional menu you can view on their website that shows allergens for every item on the menu, and their sweet fries are baked instead of fried so they are also safe. Their chicken nuggets are always breaded in gluten free breading and were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They don’t have gluten free wraps but I got their salmon wrap as a lettuce wrap and it was still very good. They also have a variety of premade meals with allergens indicated and the prices were surprisingly low!

Meghan Turner

We stopped here to celebrate my son graduating and they were very short staffed that day. Our waitress was AMAZING. She was doing it all with one bartender and one other waitress (downstairs). The manager was bussing tables and I was really impressed with how well they were holding it together. The food was delicious, great prices, gluten-free options and the best service. We had a cool spot at the window upstairs that the kids loved.

Stephanie Cogan

Our favorite Indian restaurant, we've been coming here for over 10 years! Butter chicken is sooo good and they use chic pea flour so there are so many gluten free options! This is a family run buisness with the nicest owner and we have nothing but good things to say about our experiences here!

Mary Clayton

They have a gluten free version of pasta with alfredo sauce, my husband like it.

Cindy Thompson

Great experience! Great food. Great atmosphere! Gluten free options are kinda limited but food is delicious. Pricey so be prepared. Cocktails were fantastic!! The mojito was amazing!!

Beth Kunz

Our new favorite Asian! Everything we have tried has been phenomenal - Avocado Curry, Pad Thai, Stir Fry, Curries, Duck, appetizers... The service is delightful - professional, friendly, attentive. Perhaps, most importantly for me, they are very conscientious in preparing gluten-free meals and offer a wide variety of their large menu gluten free - numerous items are naturally-GF and they also will preparing stir fries, etc with coco aminos instead of soy sauce. Wonderful place. Please give it a try. We need more little places like this that go above and beyond to survive and thrive in the Springs!

Hayley T

They were super accommodating and most things are gluten-free. They have GF soy sauce!!! The best fresh rolls we’ve had in Colorado Springs so far! All other dishes (pad Thai and pad see ew) were super yummy! The coconut soup was good…I requested that they make it without any sugar and they agreed, however I think there may be some language barriers because it was very, very sweet and I’m not supposed to have any sugar. Overall, kind staff, clean restrooms, clean dining area and kitchen!

Bella Aguilar

This store is not celiac safe and refuses to use items not on the line.

Steve Wright

My wife and I are both gluten free. Staff was very knowledgeable and menu was marked which entrees were gluten free. Highly recommend food was delicious.

I'm on my second week of foods. Finding my cravings are less and feel better eating good food instead of junk. Trying to lose weight naturally so I love I can get the same meals in a low carb option for evening and regular meals for the work day when I need a little extra energy. I am a Celiac so I'm also happy to get great tasting gluten free food. Especially for less than the cost of most fast food lunches/dinners. The price is right for my budget because I'm not buying and wasting food I didn't feel like cooking any way. Pleased with the variety. Only thing I would like is to be able to sub veggies on occasion, like green beans instead of broccoli because I can't eat broccoli. Otherwise I'm pleased with the plan.

abigail hartje

I have celiacs and ordered gluten free bread from here with my sandwich and they just put regular bread on my sandwich thankfully I can tell the difference don’t recommend if you have gluten free allergy

The food was excellent and portions plentiful - with a full variety from gluten free to dinners plates. The waitstaff was very attentive, friendly and fun - our whole party had an excellent time! The establishment was interesting with all the history around the building and restrooms were very clean.

Nico Harris

I came in today (2/26) just before 5PM and the employees were so kind and made me feel so safe eating with my dietary restriction (I’m gluten free). While I was waiting, there was a visually impaired gentleman ordering and it was his first time eating at here. The cashier was so kind and read out all the options for him. So great!!

Daniel Flemming, D.C.

Looking for a place that had some gluten-free dishes. Got the roasted pork Mei fun. Very well flavored, filling, seem to work well for me (no gluten reaction). Waitress was friendly, food was quick, and serving was big. Will be back.

Ashley McMillon

- Amazing crust; has some nice stretch to it (I ❤️ U Gluten!! 🤘) - Unique pizza toppings - Fresh ingredients - Friendly staff What's not to love?? The My Cousin Vinny and Betsy White pizzas couldn't be more different from each other, and yet, I can't decide which one is my favorite.

Eleanor Skelton

All of my friends know how much I love Del Taco anywhere I go when I’m traveling through the southwest! They are great at accommodating me with corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas because of my gluten free needs since I’m allergic to wheat
