Wow! I had no idea there were so many 100% gluten-free restaurants in the US. I'm making a list and planing for my next road trip. I live in a city that borders with several other largeish cities. we have plenty of restaurants with gluten-free menus and a small gluten-free selection in most stores but to my knowledge there are no 100% gluten-free restaurants here.

Gluten Free Creations in Scottsdale, AZ. They have 2 locations. The Phoenix location is a bakery only. The Scottsdale location has a small restaurant where they serve sandwiches/salads etc as well as sell their bakery goods.

Island Gluten Free Bakery in Sarasota FL. They have a sign posted saying no outside food allowed. They make subs, pizza, cakes, pies, pot pies, brownies etc...So good! Another gluten free place is Viitals in Tampa FL.

I believe there is one in Davis CA. It was listed in one of the Living Without magazines about bay area dining.

Yup! Farmer's Kitchen. Very good food, but not real fast service, but that is okay. Adjacent to gluten free bakery.

Mariposa Bakery in Oakland, CA has a few sit down seats and you can get a bagel and coffee or pizza slice there at lunch.

Anza Bakery in Cameron Park, east of Folsom, CA also has some tables and you can get coffee with your treat and they also have a few lunch items, besides the gluten free, vegan everything baked goods. Cinnamon buns to die for, waffles, breads.

Avatars (Indian fusion) in the Bay Area is also gluten free. Little place in a Sausalito shopping center, BIG creativity with the menu.

7 Sisters pizza in Sacramento (Citrus Heights, I think) is all gluten free.

While not "completely" gluten free, there is a sushi place up in Lake Tahoe area in Truckee called Drunken Monkey that has a gluten free menu and it is really good. The same with Mati's Indian food in midtown Sacramento, all the stuff on the buffet is gluten free, but they do serve naan on the side by request, which is not, so you skip that part.

New Cascadia bakery in Portland, OR ... the best cupcakes EVER. There's also a food cart w/ another location on the street called The Whole Bowl... YUM!!!

The Little Aussie Bakery and Cafe in San Antonio, TX. I eat there all the time! I even had to live outside of Texas for about a year and was worried about getting some good food, but THEY SHIP!! Oh and they are so great about multiple allergies, and the staff are super knowledgeable! If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch the owner/baker who is so passionate about what she does and seems to know everything about food allergies that there is to know. I know for sure that their bread is gluten free (obviously) as well as corn, nut, dairy, casein, lactose, egg, and soy free. It is so nice not to have to ask questions and feel safe about what you're eating...

[Cara in Boston]

We been to a couple here and I have to admit, I actually got tears in my eyes to see how thrilled my 6 year old was to be able to pick out anything he wanted. It was so nice not to have to conduct a lengthy interview with the waitress.

In Randolph, MA (15 minutes from Boston) is All Can Eat - a bakery that serves breakfast, and lunch and sells pre-made goods.

And Idgy's on Cape Cod (Dennis? Yarmouth? not sure). This place was wonderful. We at there (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) several times while vacationing on the Cape.

Wish there was an option or two right in Boston . . . maybe soon.

Pica Pica Maize Kitchen in San Fransisco is entirely gluten-free, and also pretty amazing.

Crave Bake Shop in Lake Oswego, Oregon is completely gluten-free, and so delicious. Their cinnamon rolls are amazing, my gluten eating boyfriend prefers them over anything else.

Also the little restaurant and food cart The Whole Bowl is also gluten-free and scrumptious. That's in Portland though.

There's a few in the Chicago area:

Sweet Ali's Bakery in Hinsdale is completely gluten free and delicious - they did the cupcakes for my wedding recently and even the gluten-eaters loved them. They've also got really good cinnamon rolls!!

DaLuciano's restaurant in River Grove, IL - it's not completely gluten free, but they've got an enormous gluten free menu and a completely separate kitchen where the gluten-free items are made. Four of the restaurant owner's kids have celiac disease.

Fatoush in Chicago - A Lebanese restaurant that's completely gluten free except that they carry regular pita and baklava that are made off-site. The restaurant owner has an anaphylactic (sp?) reaction to gluten.

Posana Cafe in Asheville, NC.

Our server told us all menu items were gluten-free when we were there in August 2011.
