Tracy, my gluten-free girlfriend (GF-GF, if you will) is coming to town this week. For reference, here’s a picture of Tracy from her last visit to Charlotte:

Last time Tracy visited, we quickly realized there are TONS of “gluten-free friendly” restaurants in Charlotte, but far fewer actually post their gluten-free options on the web. So, I’ve been in research mode over the past couple of weeks and pulled together the list below, which links to each restaurant’s GF menu and/or a menu that indicates which items are gluten-free.
Know of a restaurant I missed? Leave me a comment with a link to the menu below!

Thank you Mae for putting together such a wonderful variety of food options! So accommodating…my stomach thanks you
I love how you put up my “bug” pic…..it really helps capture my personality, lol
PS – I feel like a rock-star now that I have my own “dedicated” page on your blog
You ARE a rockstar!
Yeah, I’m a little jealous that Tracy gets an entire blog post dedicated to her eating habits.
If you come visit, I will devote an entire post to you
When I first found out about GF, I was so shocked to find out that so many things include Gluten in the ingredients list. I’m so glad Charlotte is gettin’ with it! =D
Thank you for posting this. My daughter is on a GF diet and we are always challenged in finding restaurants that are GF friendly. Mellow Mushroom is her favorite pizza place. Just so you know, PF Chang’s also has an extensive GF menu and Outback has some items as well.
Thanks again!!!
Thanks for the comment, Craig! I was quite surprised by the abundance of GF options in town!
Brio Tuscan Grill also has a GF Menu. And GF Pasta (woot woot!) http://www.brioitalian.com/docs/brio/gluten-free.pdf. Also, Maggiano’s can make most things with gluten-free pasta.
Hi Mary – thanks for the comment! It seems lots of chain restaurants are jumping on the gluten-free train these days!
FARMERS BBQ your local smokehouse in University City on Mallard Creek has many items which are gluten free. All their smoked meats including Hand Pulled Pork, Smoked Chicken, Sliced Angus Beef Brisket, Baby Back Ribs and Smoked WIngs are ALL gluten free. They also make ALL their own sauces and can tell you what is in each one, their are only 2/13 sauces that are NOT gluten free, which means 11 sauces ARE GLUTEN FREE! order online at http://farmersbbq.com
Does anyone know if there is a SAFE Hibachi Grill restaurant in the Charlotte Area??
