Best Gluten Free American in Boulder

The Kitchen American Bistro is a true haven for anyone with celiac disease—it's a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility, so you can finally exhale and savor every bite. The menu doesn't just offer safe options; it celebrates them, with standout dishes like steak and truffle fries cooked in a separate fryer. Staff are well-versed in allergy protocols and happily accommodate even the most sensitive guests, making the whole experience feel genuinely welcoming. If you know the anxiety of dining out with celiac, this place is like a warm, delicious sigh of relief.

The Post Chicken & Beer is that rare unicorn—a 100% gluten-free restaurant where you can finally order fried chicken (and fries!) without a second thought or a nervous glance at your server. Every fryer, every prep area, and every menu item is gluten-free, so celiacs can relax and actually enjoy comfort food again. The staff has a reputation for being allergy-savvy and the menu is packed with classics: crispy tenders, juicy bone-in chicken, and even gluten-free beer to wash it all down. You know what? It’s the kind of place that makes you forget you’re eating “specialty” food—here, everyone’s just tucking in and grinning.

Bohemian Biergarten charms with its lively Central European ambiance and festive energy, but for those of us who need to be truly gluten-free, the experience is a bit of a gamble. While there are a few gluten-free options (like fries and some beers), the kitchen isn’t dedicated and the menu isn’t marked, so you’ll need to ask lots of questions—and even then, cross-contact is possible. Staff can be friendly and try to accommodate, but without clear protocols or a separate prep area, it’s tough to fully relax if you’re celiac. For anyone with serious gluten sensitivity, I’d say it’s more about soaking up the atmosphere than safely indulging in the food.
