Top 10 Gluten Free American Restaurants

Caution

Jimmy J's Cafe brings plenty of New Orleans charm, but when it comes to gluten-free safety, it’s a bit of a gamble for celiacs. While the staff reportedly shows some awareness—like checking with the kitchen if you’ve got questions—there’s no dedicated gluten-free menu or facility, and the kitchen is shared. Cross-contact risks are high, especially since fried items and breads are everywhere and nothing is clearly marked or separated. If you’re just gluten-sensitive and can have a chatty conversation with your server, you might find something safe-ish; but for strict celiacs, I’d say this spot isn’t worth the nerves or the risk.
