Top 23 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Abilene

I wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone. I sat down with my family, and as we began looking over the menu, we saw that sugar-free syrup was an extra charge. I asked the waitress about this, and she responds, saying the owner charges for anything and everything "extra." I asked to speak with the manager prior to my family ordering. Upon asking the manager about this, I stated that it didn't matter how small or large the increase in price was this was unreasonable. I informed him that my son is a type 1 diabetic and this seems to me to be almost a punishment for a disease that literally no-one has control over. He responded and said that he understood he had celiacs disease and he had to pay more for his gluten free food. His words at the end of this statement was " it just is what it is." He stated it costed more to make the sugar free. I can understand that to an extent but that still brings me back to type 1's have absolutely no control with their disease happening to them. And they literally have to pay a cost every single second of every single day! Though both of these diseases are terrible and I hate for anyone to have to deal with either, their is no comparison! This is absolutely abysmal performance on the part of the owner and manager. Do better! We left and paid 13$ for three waters a coffee and a tea.

Consistently excellent food served with fast and friendly service! My go-to choice is the Harvest Salad paired with either Peach or Raspberry Tea. However, all of their sandwiches are delicious, and their zucchini bread (also offered as Gluten Free) is a must-try!

Very unhappy Masked female who loves Red Robin. So much dissatisfaction. Will be rethinking coming and spending like I normally at this establishment. Not only am I sick with flu but I finally had an appetite. Couldn’t figure out to get gluten free bun on the online order so I called it in. Told me food would be ready at 6:15, I arrived at 6:30. Hostess told me food wasn’t ready yet, if it wasn’t for my snarky comment of really?? Said it would be ready at 6:15, would she have not looked into it further I would have been still sitting there. No one could locate my order. Asked for manager. Thankfully I thought to look in my bank account to show proof of purchase. I just wanted a refund and go back home. According to manager she didn’t know how to refund it if ordered via phone. They got the food ready, my only option since I couldn’t leave with a refund. Walked away with papers on how to online order and number to Red Robin.

We had an amazing experience here and an excellent server! My nephew is gluten free and they took extra care to make sure we did not cross contaminate his food, changed gloves etc. We were quite impressed with the care and service we received here. Thank you!

Regan Robertson

Delicious food and I love the gluten sensitive options!

Went here yesterday and ordered turkey and ham sandwich on gluten free bread. Had only one pile of clumpy turkey so I took it back after much push back they made another one. Now I'm miserable sick. Not sure if they did something to my food or if its food poisoning. Going to pcp to get tested and checked out. Won't eat here again too risky with my weak immune system to get sick again. I was not rude at all when I brought it up, honestly I hate asking for remakes because I always worry if they will be malicious or do something to my food. But when you pay extra to add another meat and they don't put much on it then act like it looks OK to them? Half my sandwich was bread and lettuce only.

I have Celiac disease and require a specific diet. They offer gluten free products and their food tastes SO GOOD! I recently went to order the meatball sandwich and forgot to order without bread. I ordered the last meatballs and they quickly made more even though I made the mistake. They went above and beyond! So thankful for these ladies!

So delicious I stopped here twice in 3 days. The atmosphere is very groovy, quite like a nightclub in the bar/lounge, and yet very relaxing as well. Highly recommend their Navajo (puffy) tacos. Not only are they delicious, crunchy, and filling, but they are also celiac friendly. The margarita is on point, more fresh and enjoyable than many premade counterparts. 10 outta 10, do recommend.

I think that this is a highly underrated restaurant in Abilene. When you order, you get the feeling of ordering at a fast food joint. The fact that the food comes out super fast is another plus. The drinks are also self served, but honestly, the food is quite good, and they have a gluten-free option for my wife (which is hard for any type of restaurant. Imagine being an Italian food restaurant). Overall, it was a great choice. we went once after being in the area over 17 years and not ever stopping, and now it is twice a month for us. It is also surprisingly affordable. Their bread sticks also give Olive Garden a run for its money, possibly even better, and if you dine in, they are also unlimited.

Jason Elvecrog

This place is amazing, I attended my girlfriend's work Christmas party here and she has gluten issues, this restaurant went above and beyond and provided gluten free options specifically for her to enjoy her work party. Staff was amazing, food was amazing, and drinks were amazing, if you get the point this place is amazing. If you haven't checked it out you are missing out. Thank you for making this such a great experience.

Teresa Jackson

The food is fabulous. The staff is wonderful! The shrimp and grits to die for! And the Glutenberg IPA!

We love the gluten free options..... And their hot wings are gluten free (bone in)

David Millar

Small place with limited seating, but friendly staff that’s quick to clean tables and move in new diners while handling takeout quickly as well. The Pad See Ew with tofu and spice level 2 was delicious and beverages were served in nice big cups. My dining companions were vegetarian and one had a gluten allergy, but there were still multiple menu options that they could have and they enjoyed their curry and Pad Thai as well. This place is definitely a hidden gem worth the visit if you’re passing through the area.

I am very allergic to gluten down to the parts per million. I do not have Celiac (negative biopsy), but I react similarly to those with very severe cases of Celiac. Cordell's balsamic vinegar is the only balsamic vinegar I do not react to, and it tastes fantastic. Most balsamic vinegars in a regular grocery store have gluten in them, and I react to many organic so called gluten free balsamic vinegars that have "grape must." There are no questionable additives in Cordell's vinegars, and they are safe for those of us who always have to eat in but still want to make delicious food at home. Thank you Cordell's for giving myself and the Celiacs in town a safe gluten-free product!

They have a great gluten free menu!

Beverly Albrecht

Great place for a quick lunch or to just hangout and visit over lunch or dinner. They offer sandwiches, big fresh gourmet salads and soups. They have a big selection of salad dressings for salads. They also offer gluten free sandwiches.we had the gluten-free Rueben sandwich with fresh fruit which was good. The Savannah chopped salad was fresh and delicious. Also we had the southwest avocado salad which was good.

Merrilee Bradfield

Crabfest just started, and it is delicious. My brother found a new favorite in the lobster pizza! They even had gluten free options for my mom.

Ash Tolliver

I have celiac disease and eating out can be terrifying, but Bailey was SO reassuring and made me feel confident in my choices. She was very knowledgeable and returned when she learned I couldn't have the blackened fish tacos, but the cook was going to grill them plain instead. My dad and I ordered for the fish tacos with squash side, and Dad had their key lime pie. The merengue is whipped fresh, and the whole meal smelled heavenly. I highly recommend this place!

Suanna Davis

Went for dinner. Had cocktail each (every person thought they were delicious-3 different). Main meal—good. We all had desserts. Most were huge. Ask about size if that matters. I took most of my carrot cake home and had three more desserts from it. We had someone gluten free with us and the staff(without prompting) brought her the hotel package cookies. Obviously they weren’t chef made, but it made her so happy to be able to eat dessert with everyone.

Lori Cortez

Friendly staff, great pizza and salad bar. Even do custom order pizza, including a crust-less pizza for a gluten free option.
