The Sansglu take

The place

Hybrid counter and table service spot running gluten-free end to end. Dedicated GF kitchen with its own fryer, built for people who need zero shared-kitchen risk.

The gluten-free setup

Separate gluten-free kitchen and dedicated fryer. Every item on the menu is GF, so no sorting through a mixed list or negotiating prep.

What to order

Order tacos, chips, and a margarita without the usual tortilla-chip interrogation. The room is casual and bar-forward, but the kitchen setup is the reason celiacs make a point of it.

The move

Kite String is a gluten-free and nut-free cantina, with gluten-free beer and cider instead of a wheat-beer tap list. It is still worth telling the counter you have celiac, but this is one of Chicago's cleanest savory dedicated options.
