gluten-free Outdoor Dining in Knoxville

[plumbago]

Anyone know of good gluten-free outdoor dining options inside the city limits of Knoxville (or just outside)? Thanks!

Benefit Your Life is a dedicated gluten-free bakery/restaurant. The restaurant menu is limited to sandwiches and salads but they do have a place to eat outside.

I love to stop at Good Golly Tamale on my way through town which is gluten-free and delicious. It is in the Old City and they are great at takeout but I've had trouble finding outdoor space. Last time I got takeout and went to Lakeshore Park for a scenic picnic.

I'm around and through Knoxville frequently but haven't found a place that I feel comfortable for a sit down dinner. I'm curious to see if anyone else chimes in.  I am Celiac and rarely eat at restaurants but have had very good experiences at both of these places.

I live in Knoxville and have struggled with finding decent places to eat that are celiac safe.  I have never been to the Good Golly Tamale restaurant, but have bought tamales when the cart has been at the farmers market and can confirm they are delicious. I did a Google search and found that Good Golly, along with Mama C's and Donut Theory are dedicated gluten free, even though I have never tried the latter 2 places, but definitely will in the future.  Petro's surprisingly, although fast food, has decent gluten free options and I feel pretty safe ordering from there. The downtown and Powell locations have outdoor seating.  Most restaurants offer gluten free options, but are only gluten friendly at best.
