I know there are PF Changs and Outbacks in Chicago - but I was hoping to try some other places that I cannot have at home in PA.

Can anyone recommend gluten-free lunch/dinner places to check out - I'll be traveling with 2 non-celiac folk.

Thanks in advance.

Are you staying in the City? There are quite a few options for you that offer gluten-free food and/or menus.

Wildfire

Adobo Grill (yum!)

Vinci ($$)

Carrabba's

Da Luciano's

Ben Pao

Chicago Diner (vegetarian)

Flat Top Grill

Fogo de Chao

Rezas

The Weber Grill has a good size gluten-free menu. I ate there last week and it was great. Their dessert menu is just a milkshake, but their dinner menu is large. All the food is cooked on Weber charcoal grills.

I believe they have an online menu. Good luck.

you gotta try vinci! sooooo good. in the city. Carnivale doesnt have a gluten-free menu, but they do work with you and they were so nice and helpful. Awesome food. Chips are made in a dedicated fryer and their guac is the best thing in the world.

I totally agree, Vinci is the place to go for sure. Excellent food and great waitstaff. They picked up on my declining bread and asked if I'd like a gluten free menu. It's expensive but well worth it.

Your non-celiac friends will definitely like Adobo. My gluten-free son had a 30th birthday party there and his friends raved about the food. The CSA had their annual lunch at Ben Pao this year, so they should have a gluten-free menu now. They select a different restaurant each year and work with the staff. Then after the luncheon, the restaurant usually keeps the gluten-free menu. That is what happened at Wildfire and Weber Grill. Have a good time.

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions!

I ate out for lunch and dinner every day of the trip with NO CC problems or even hesitations. All of the restaurants in Chicago were so accommodating.

We tried out:

Lou Malanati's pizza - gluten free deep dish --- well, it's a sausage "crust" with cheese and sauce on top. Yummy, but very heavy.

Carnivale - YUM!

Hit PF Changs while we shopped the Magnificent Mile

AND ate a Weber Grill.

Plus - Howl at the Moon - great "dueling" piano bar - served Woodchuck!

It was SO nice to be able to feel so comfortable about eating out for three days straight!

Again, thanks for your suggestions!

I vote Da Luciano's the guy has 4 kids with gluten-free and they all work there. Try the VEAL !!

P.S.- Us real Chicagoans know the Italians are in River Grove area.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
