Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots Across Rochester

Ashley Lushinsky

Will ask you when you walk in if you need a GF menu. Owner has celiac. Has separate kitchen space. Large menu. Everything is delicious

Brent Warner

Rad Italian place reminiscent of the Midwest. Service was great, large portions, and tons and tons of gluten free options (never seen this many before). Excellent. Worth a try if you’re in Rochester.

Joy Perrie

Purchased a gluten free pepper roni pizza and it was the best I've ever had! Thank you!

Best burger I've had in a long time! I have celiac and finding places to eat is very difficult. They have a separate fryer for only French fries, which are honestly amazing.the burgers are juice and cooked great, and the gluten free buns are soft and really good. This is by far my favorite restaurant in the area, if not if all time.

Brenna Bartell

I am gluten free (allergy), and this was a great place to eat! I got breakfast. The eggs, sausage, toast, hashbrowns, and pancakes were all delicious. And gluten free! Parking and finding the place was a little more difficult since it’s in the skyway and I don’t use the skyway often, but I found it pretty quickly. The server I had was super helpful and very nice. Atmosphere was great as well and the decor is chic. This is a must-try!

Michelle Wolf

A clean convenient location for lunch or dinner with a variety of food options and excellent service. Gluten sensitive and healthier options are available, and we were told they use a dedicated gluten sensitive fryer. We liked the gluten sensitive options so much we forgot to take a picture when we first got them :). Sorry!

Allison Hackenmiller

I can’t stop talking about this place! The service was great and fast (our server provided really good suggestions!), the cocktails were so well-balanced, and the food was delicious! I almost went back the next day for the noodles and brussels. We also had the tofu satay, which was wonderfully crispy, and the pad thai, which they will make if you beg, but I’m with the server that the other food was so good and you can get that anywhere. Best news: so much was gluten-free! Would go back right now if I could.

Rosemed Miami

4.4 total stars for this great American restaurant. They had issues seating us out of the sun which was frustrating but they eventually were able to accommodate. 5 stars for our server Ephraim! He was so accommodating and knowledgeable about the dietary restrictions. They have many gluten sensitive and plant based/ vegan options and accommodated various requests for us. Lots of variety in the menu so anyone can eat here. 4 stars for the quality of the food it wasn’t outstanding but good. We had the: Blueberry mocktail- nice that they have many alcohol free options but this drink was just okay Gluten free truffle Parmesan fries- very good garlic aioli hit the spot Gluten free rainbow roll- okay Plant based mushroom fettuccini with gluten free pasta and chicken- delicious! Bison burger of gluten free bread- decent, amazing Gf bread GF Cookies and cream cake - excellent I do recommend for a group that needs variety and has dietary restrictions. It’s a nice atmosphere on the casual side.

What a friendly place. Portion in my chicken pita wrap was quite big. Huge shout-out to the man taking orders and checking everything that came out of the kitchen - that it matched the order and was what the customers wanted. That is real service. He was also very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and the differences between intolerance and Celiac. Recommend this spot

Jennifer G

Love this place! Great menu selection and such a fun place. I had the Cobb Salad take away and it was delicious! You can ask for no bread so it’s gluten free 👌🏼

James Bolin

Awesome gluten free options including an amazing GF cheesecake!

Rheanna Konken

TL;DR: Discovered Purple Goat on a gluten free FB page. Good food & knowledgeable staff. We were in town over the weekend coming from the Twin Cities, and we stopped in on the way to our hotel, about an hour & a half before close. We hadn't eaten since that morning and were excited to try the menu. We ordered drinks, the pork nachos as an app, and a pair of burgers. Our server April very patiently answered all my questions about the gluten free menu & was very helpful. I had quite a few questions because the menu has a little message about gluten free options posted on a corner of the menu, but none of the individual items are labeled "GF/GS" The nachos were great, and I even ordered extra of the avocado verde salsa. Our burgers were good, juicy & flavorful. The fries they came with were also great. Overall we had a good experience, and would love to come back when we're in town again. We would definitely order the pork nachos again and work our way through the menu. I think the only thing I would love to see is a gluten free dessert option.

This is probably the best Hu Hot I've visited and I make a point of going whenever I'm in Rochester. The staff is educated on how to cater to those with food allergies, celiac, and gluten sensitivity. The service is great and the buffet line is well kept!

Jesse K

We had a fantastic dinner at Chester's. One of the best hamburgers I've had in a long time. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. My wife had the wedge salad and she said it was great. Fires were delicious! Even had gluten free key lime pie. Our waiter, Adam was awesome. He learned of my gluten allergy and even came back and said the tater tots I ordered weren't gluten free and offered options. Great job Chester's. Next time we are in Rochester we will be back!

Robert Lewis

A couple of good gluten free selections which was nice for me.

Sam

Always a pleasant experience at Smoak. They offer a variety of quality & affordable BBQ items. All of which are delicious. They even have gluten free options so my wife can enjoy barbecue again. Highly recommended.

Lisa Bromley

Gluten friendly. Burger cooked to perfection on a gluten free bun. Had gluten free beer/hard ciders. Great service

EJ R

I'm a celiac and was looking for good GF pizza, their GF is as good as the regular pizza. Best pizza in town before I found out I was a celiac, still the best.

James Spence

Had a delicious Gluten-free pizza, could not even tell it was GF. Service was friendly and location was easy to reach.

Danielle Steele

Only give reviews if places are exceptionally good or bad, and this was the best acai bowl I’ve ever had…and I lived in Brazil! Loved the base flavors (not overly sweet, great consistency, wonderful flavors), the fruit toppings were so fresh, and all the granolas were gluten free. Please open a location in Kalispell Montana!

Cora O'Neil

I had ordered the Club Sub, but had it put into a bowl because of Celiac Disease. I did not realize that by not getting bread, there was an UP CHARGE!! The price on the menu is $9 and some change. I got charged over $11. I got nothing additional, just lettuce, turkey, ham, cheese & bacon that comes on it. First & last time I will be going there.

Lynn Gillespie

Delicious gluten free pizza! I’ll be back!

Heather Rose Morris

Consistent and reliable. I have a dairy allergy and can have a plain burger with the Udi's gluten free bun and fries with no issues. Service is pretty good, beer selection is pretty good, and there is a good selection of unique burgers for all of my boys. Nice family friendly bar atmosphere. We get in and out relatively quickly. Medium priced eat in restaurant that serves alcohol. We come back to this place over and over cause I can eat here with my allergy and there's something good for everyone else too. A Rochester staple.

Mali Queensland

We have gone to Broadway Pizza for years because of their gluten free cheese bread and pizza. I’ve also recommended others go there. Unfortunately, the food has changed. The gf cheese bread is now on a thin slice of gf bread and is horrible, gf pizza just ok. Service was wonderful and have always loved the atmosphere. I feel sad that it is no longer a place we will frequent.

Cody Luebbers

The staff was very helpful, friendly, and patient. They were very accommodating to my sister’s gluten allergy which was very appreciated! The food came out quickly and was amazing! You can’t go wrong stopping here! And don’t forget to grab a concrete mixer for desert!

Jocelynn Martinez

Good bowls perfect for Gluten-free and lactose intolerant people.volleyball is so much better with a healthy sweet treat- NADIA

Paul Stanton

My wife and I stopped by for breakfast this morning on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised to have an outstanding experience. My wife suffers from a whole host of food allergies and as a result it is difficult to find a restaurant that can accommodate all of them. Chief among them being gluten (celiacs disease) and cross contamination from gluten. The staff did just that. From the top notch service provided by our waitress (thank you again, Amber B.) to the kitchen staff that prepared our food exactly the way it was ordered including all of our special requests. Our meals were made with top quality ingredients that came thru in both the taste and texture. It is also worth noting, that my wife did not suffer a reaction from any errors made in the preparation of our meals. The whole experience exceeded all of our our expectations. We will definitely be coming back again. To all those that read this, quality service deserves to be rewarded and lauded. Not just with gratuity but also thru reviews such as these.

Charlie Garrett

I have celiac disease and have to avoid gluten. They offered a lettuce wrap burger to me after I informed the cashier of my allergy, and it was delicious. However, I also told them no onions on my burger, which the cashier did mark, but the cook put onions anyway, so I have to wonder if they're paying attention to the notes on the order.

Aaron Copes

Amazing food. Almost everything is gluten free

Whitney Powell

Wonderful food and staff! And very accommodating to gluten free and dairy free people. Highly recommend the pink lemonade for this summer!

Michelle Jensen

Love this little place! Staff is ALWAYS courteous and helpful. Vegan donuts are good - love the variety of flavors! They will do gluten free also if you pre-order. Smoothies are good too! Their food looks amazing - will definitely be back to try some!

Victoria Deno

This place is amazing all around. From the awesome staff, to the colorful and fun atmosphere inside and on the patio. The food and drinks are great, they have options for gluten free and vegetarian. They also have an NA option for tap beer and some yummy juices if you're not in a drinking mood. If you're looking for beer, they have an awesome beer menu with multiple sizes and options, whatever your flavor, they probably have it. They also have some spirits and wine to choose from!! This place has it all!! The cafe is open early for the coffee and breakfast goers!!! 😁

Jennifer Schuetz Hadley

Fun, very tasty place for breakfast and lunch and dinner. The Dutch skillet was amazing, as was the blackberry creme muffin. The chocolate chip pannekoeken was more eggy than floury, which was fantastic for me, as I minimize my gluten consumption. Can’t wait to try their Muenster cheese curds, cabbage rolls, and more!

Elizabeth Sloan

Gluten friendly!

Jenny P

Fantastic service and food! I have to be completely gluten free, and they accommodated this and answered all of my questions. The sushi and the kimchi were wonderful! I've been craving the kimchi ever since. It's the best I've ever had! We don't go to Rochester often but when we do, we'll eat here again!

Gluten Free chicken Pita is great

Urrvano Gamez

We ordered our meal online and picked it up using their curbside service. Overall the meals were good and the desserts were tasty. I enjoyed my Chicken Parmigiana and my wife had one of the gluten-free pasta options. The breadsticks were a bit disappointing as they seemed overcooked and were really chewy. They also did not have that garlicky and buttery goodness that I remember them having. There are a few bad pieces of lettuce in the salad as well, I would appreciate a little bit more quality control there.

Chris Dokken

Very good food, and they have gluten free pizza crust which is very nice since both my dad and sister have Celiac's disease. They also had the wild on which is always a bonus

Randi Menk

Great food..good service...reasonable prices. Love that they have gluten free options!

Emma

i ordered a grilled chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun for dine in, and was given fried chicken (rest of my order was correct, just the chicken was wrong). when i went up to the counter to ask for what i ordered, i was helped very kindly and quickly, and while i stood waiting for the correct chicken i had multiple other employees stop and ask very kindly if there was anything i needed help with. mistakes happen and they fixed theirs very quickly and professionally :)

Angelina J Wadas

Excellent service, excellent food. They even made sure my concrete mixer was gluten free without cross contamination!

Elizabeth Sloan

Gluten friendly.

Sarah Martin

Delicious gluten free pizza & best deep dish for those who can eat gluten!

Jayne Ochoa

Excellent sushi. They had gluten free sou sauce.

Kelley

Really good gluten-free options, and will customize dishes for you.

LinSue Lee

BBQ chicken wings 2 gluten free pizzas! An amazing waitress!

Darwin Barnes

My wife has always loved the bowls at Chipotle's, having to be gluten-free. The last three times she has went there you have to search for a door that is not locked. I watched four people turn around and walk away. And this trip the food was "the worst I have ever gotten from there" my wife told me. And that is from a woman that loves the chain. Very sad.

Shawna Anderson

Asia Fusion has always been a gem in the community. Even though it's tucked away in a common looking strip mall, the atmosphere couldn't be more different on the inside. Currently, this is a takeout place due to low staffing but it still holds the calm, relaxing colors and Buddhist elements that were there when it did have dining. The food is wonderful with robust flavor and enough to have leftovers. While they have always had incredible gluten free options, the menu has been revamped to be nearly all gluten free. This place holds many wonderful memories for me and I'm enjoying the takeout while hoping the dining room will once again reopen.

Time for date night and restaurant roulette with the significant other? The one who can’t make up their mind and certainty not feeling what you are suggesting? Well, look no further. With four eateries like Julio’s Tacos offering tacos, nachos, quesadillas, chips and salsa. Murdoch Place has your burgers, dogs, toasties and appetizers. Looking for something with chicken? Well, Birdie’s is the place. Chicken sandwiches, popcorn chicken and strips, salads and sides, chicken n’ waffles and even a couple pork sandwiches. Last chance to persuade them that this is the place to be is Reid’s pizza. Classic or signature pies in Detroit Style thick crust, Minnesota Style Thin Crust or Gluten Free Thin Crust. The Workshop Bar for those libation leanings of midwestern brews, domestics, craft and seasonal cocktails, mocktails, and the Geez Louis. Libby’s Sweet Shop for confection cravings of shakes, malts, cheesecake, mini-donuts, cookies and churros. Dating back to the 1930s this historical building was the workshop for the canning factory and the iconic corncob water tower across the street. Originally owned and operated by Reid, Murdoch & Co. Beautifully restored, repurposed and simply decorated with a Minnesota theme. Large interior with brick walls, cement floor, open industrial ceiling, tables and chairs, padded booths and dividers. A barbershop is available during normal business hours and an outdoor patio is serving you and your furry companion. The pooch burger is available at Murdoch’s Place. Once inside claim a table or booth with something insignificant or a friend that is significant, scan the QR code on the table for menu options and head to the order counter of your choice. Overhead menus are also available at each individual counter. Pay and wait and the food is brought right to your table. Easy peasy. My blushing bride had her mind made up and in no time we were enjoying Reid’s thin crust, classic Supreme. Football shaped pizza nicely topped with ample amount of pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, onion, black olives, mozzarella cheese baked to a crispy thin crust perfection. Good food, comfortable atmosphere and friendly service.

Joy Dunna

We stopped here on a whim and the food did not disappoint! It was very easy to modify things on the menu to ensure it would be gluten free. The outdoor space was nice, I recommend using it if you’re there in a sunny MN day!
