Best Gluten Free American in Nashville

Barlines is a rare find for celiacs craving classic Southern bar fare without the cross-contamination roulette—it's a 100% gluten-free restaurant in the heart of Nashville. You can finally relax and dig into crispy tater tots, juicy smash burgers on gluten-free buns, and wings from a dedicated fryer, all while soaking up live music and that unmistakable honky-tonk energy. Staff are not just friendly, they're impressively knowledgeable about celiac safety—I've heard stories of servers explaining their protocols in detail and even walking guests through safe drink options. It's the kind of place where you can actually let your guard down, enjoy the food and the scene, and leave with your peace of mind intact (plus maybe a little Nashville twang in your step).

Peachtree Neighborhood Grill brings real peace of mind to celiac diners—this spot doesn’t just throw around the words "gluten-free" lightly. The owners have close family with celiac, and it shows in the care they take: a dedicated gluten-free fryer, gluten-free buns and bread, and staff who actually understand the difference between "gluten sensitive" and celiac. Nearly the entire menu can be made gluten-free, with clear communication from the team about prep and separation. There’s a genuine warmth here, from the way food is brought out separately (and labeled GF!) to the staff’s patience with questions—honestly, it’s the kind of place you wish every neighborhood had.

1 Kitchen Nashville offers a breath of fresh air for gluten-free diners craving that sense of normalcy—think fluffy waffles and crispy fried chicken made in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, with every step overseen by staff who truly get the stakes. Most menu items are clearly marked, and the team is proactive about allergy concerns, even flagging cross-contamination risks for things like calamari. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free facility, their focus on separate fryers, open communication, and a chef who personally understands food allergies (including his own shellfish allergy) brings real peace of mind. If you're tired of feeling like an outsider at brunch, this spot lets you savor classic comfort food without the constant second-guessing—now, isn't that what dining out should feel like?
