Gluten Free Chicagoland Restaurant List

I had only been to the GF Grocery in Westchester twice. It was too far away. And now it is out of business, closed last week. I frequently was on the website, however, because they did have a long restaurant list. I copied it from them and will be adding my own restaurant finds to it as time goes on... so this list will be updating regularly! I have not been to many of these restaurants, so please use caution. Contact the restaurant first to make sure they are still in business and they can still accomodate a gluten free diner. I have excluded 2 suggested restaurants from my list, places where I personally have had a negative experience. Have any suggestions or recommendations?? I am happy to add them, just let me know!

  1. Thank you for the list! There were quite a few that suprised me. Here's one more "Chicago's Pizza" (www.chicagos-pizza.com). I've had the thin crust GF pizza from the a few times and it's been very good. And Lou Malnati's has a "crustless" GF pizza, also very good if you like lots of Italian sausage.

  2. The Pizza Place and More in Crystal Lake has GF pizza. They make their own crust and it is awesome!! They use a clean knife to cut the pizza too. Some problem at Nick's with that. Hopefully they took care of it!

    Dunhill's Steak and Chop House in McHenry has a GF menu. Very good food.

  3. I'd like to add a restaurant to your awesome list (thank you!). I recently ate at The Noodle Bar in Lake Bluff. They don't have a GF menu, but are very knowledgable. They have GF soy sauce and can modify many of their menu options easily to accomodate. I had a taro wrap and Mei Siam (modified to include a GF tofu) and both were delicious. I highly recommend.

  4. Divine Gelato just recently changed their restaurant to offer gelato only...no more food. I was so disappointed the last time I went in and found this out.

  6. Thank you a million times for this list!! This is exactly what I have been looking for (I am new to Lake County AND Celiac Disease!!) For every crumb of gluten I can't have, I'll take every crumb of GF information I can!! ;-)
