Daredevil Hall is a true haven for those of us with celiac disease—this spot is a dedicated 100% gluten-free facility, so the stress of cross-contact melts away the moment you walk in. Their menu bursts with comfort food favorites like hand-cut fries, juicy smash burgers on gluten-free buns, and even playful 'pizza fries,' all prepared with meticulous allergen protocols. You can tell they get it: staff are trained, there's a separate allergen menu at every table, and they're not shy about sharing exactly which fryer is used for what. Honestly, it's the kind of place where you can finally just eat and enjoy the game—no side of anxiety required.

Safety Score

350 Massachusetts Ave Suite 150, Indianapolis, IN 46204, USA

Italian

Vicino offers a breath of fresh air for gluten-free diners looking for a night out in downtown Indy. Their menu is clearly marked with gluten-free options, and staff consistently demonstrate genuine awareness—servers are quick to ask clarifying questions about celiac safety and are comfortable discussing cross-contact concerns. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free facility, the flexibility to swap in gluten-free pasta and adjust desserts (like that luscious zabaione sans ladyfinger) is such a relief when you want more than just salad. Still, if your celiac is super sensitive, keep in mind there's no separate kitchen—so that little twinge of uncertainty never quite goes away.
