Best Gluten Free American in Denver

Federal Bar & Grill is a rare gem where you can finally let your guard down—both owners live with celiac, and that personal stake sets the tone for every detail. The kitchen is a 100% gluten-free haven, with color-coded baskets and plates to make sure your meal is unmistakably safe. Staff undergo real gluten-free training, from the fryer to the buns, and they get how nerve-wracking eating out can be for us. Whether you're craving crispy fish and chips or just want to share nachos with friends without a second thought, this spot brings true peace of mind (and frankly, a little joy) to celiac dining.

Steuben's Uptown offers a cozy, retro diner experience with a variety of comfort foods and some gluten-sensitive options like sourdough bread. While it doesn't have a dedicated gluten-free facility, attentive staff and menu flexibility make it a decent choice for cautious diners. Just keep in mind that cross-contact risks exist, so clear communication with your server is key.

Work & Class promises celiacs a rare treat: nearly every dish is crafted gluten-free, thanks to Chef Dana Rodriguez’s inventive Latin-American menu and a kitchen that truly gets food allergies. But here’s the thing—while the vibe is welcoming and staff often go above and beyond for gluten-free guests, there’s a catch: the fryer isn’t dedicated. That means fried items, even if marked GF, aren’t safe for those of us who react to trace gluten. If you stick to non-fried options (think: smoky brisket, creamy mashed potatoes, empanadas pan-fried by request), you’ll enjoy a feast with much less anxiety than at most places. Just remember—always clarify about prep methods, and you’ll likely leave both satisfied and safe.
