My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2019. One of the saddest things was knowing that he wouldn’t be able to eat some of his favorite foods. This also meant that some of our favorite date night locations were out of the question. Most restaurants offer options for gluten-free eaters, but not all of them are delicious or something that my husband would generally order. Others have gluten-free options but aren’t as careful as we’d hope in avoiding cross-contact. I have made it my goal to find the best restaurants in Davis County with gluten-free menu items that are both enjoyable and safe to eat.

I’m excited to have this post—originally put together in 2020—updated with a lot of our gluten-free favorites for date night! I try to update this post as I know restaurants close, gluten-free foods or protocols change, or something new opens or hits our radar. Bookmark this post or pin it for quick reference when you’re planning a date night involving someone who eats gluten-free. At the end of the post, you’ll find a printable PDF that you can keep on your phone for easy reference, print and have in your car or wallet, and even share with a friend who recently started eating gluten-free.

Gluten-Free Friendly Restaurants in Davis County

Before I dive into our gluten-free favorites, you should know a little more about my husband’s gluten-free habits. My husband is a symptomatic celiac who avoids products that share equipment with gluten-containing foods but doesn’t stay away from those that are processed in the same facility unless he has had symptoms after eating them in the past. When eating out, my husband doesn’t order items off the menu that share a fryer with gluten-containing foods or that are cooked on the same surface as gluten-filled foods, unless he knows that surface has been cleaned first. We often reference the Find Me Gluten Free app for recent reviews, find allergy statements on the restaurant websites, and search the Gluten Free Utah group for additional ideas and suggestions.

Note: If a restaurant was on the list before and is no longer here, it may be out of business or have changed its gluten-free offerings. Many restaurants in Davis County offer gluten-free menu items, but their protocols make those not safe for a gluten allergy or the menu is small and not anything to write home about. The restaurants listed here are the best of the best for gluten-free food, in our experience and through recommendations and the experiences of others!

Gluten-Free Restaurants at Station Park in Farmington

Aubergine Kitchen

1076 Park Ln Suite 103, Farmington
Aubergine Kitchen offers a variety of meals, many of which are gluten-free, vegan, and/or dairy-free. The menu is well marked and I’ve heard from people who frequent each location that they do a great job avoiding cross-contact for those with celiac. I have yet to take my husband to eat here, but went to eat with a gluten-free friend and it is one of her favorite, frequented restaurants in the area. My meal was enjoyable and I would eat there again.

Bartolo’s Italian-Inspired Kitchen

895 W E Promontory H-100, Farmington
Bartolo’s is one of the newer restaurants at Station Park and although they serve Italian food, which is not often made gluten-free, the majority of their menu can be made gluten-free. They even make their gluten-free noodles, in-house. You can order brunch, lunch, or dinner at Bartolo’s and the entire menu is appealing. It is at the top of my list to take my husband here, especially after enjoying a delicious brunch date with a friend earlier this year.

P.F. Changs

905 W W Promontory, Farmington
P.F. Changs have some great options on their gluten-free menu. I’ve heard that the gluten-free menu items are prepared in a separate wok, in another area of the kitchen. They are brought out to your table on a different colored plate than all of the other dishes, so you know exactly which one is gluten-free. We don’t eat at P.F. Changs as often as I’d like because my husband is also sensitive to onions and their dishes all contain green onions. However, this is one of my favorite places to eat out!

Twigs Bistro

155 N E Promontory, Farmington
Twigs at Station Park is my personal favorite date night restaurant, and they get rave reviews from gluten-free eaters. Their menu has many gluten-free options including a gluten-free pizza crust and burger buns that are said to be some of the best around. The potatoes served with brunch and the french fries are not safe for celiac individuals because they are cooked in a shared fryer, but Twigs has amazing side salads, and even I order those over the fries most days.

Vessel Kitchen

320 N Central Ave, Farmington
Vessel Kitchen is located where Roxberry Smoothies and Subway were previously located, near Zupa’s and Costa Vida. We haven’t had the chance to try them out yet, but they are often recommended in local gluten-free groups. I checked out their menu and they have clearly labeled items that contain gluten. There are a lot of options without gluten so a lot of great choices for date night. They also have good reviews on the Find My Gluten Free app.

Rumor has it that Via 313 Pizza is coming to Station Park in 2025. Their pizza has been rated the best gluten-free pizza in Utah and we agree. We can’t wait to add them to the list, if and when they open a location in Davis County this year!

More Station Park gluten-free options are noted below, in the section with restaurants across Davis County.

Gluten-Free Restaurants in Bountiful and South Davis County

Arella Pizzeria

535 W 400 N, Bountiful
The atmosphere at Arella is fun and classy and perfect for date night. They have gluten-free pizza crust and amazing salads. We’ve been here a few times in recent years and the food is delicious. Their flavors are unique and I haven’t had one that I didn’t like. If you’re looking for something new, Arella is your place.

Cubby’s

570 W 500 S, Bountiful
This has quickly become one of our favorite spots for lunch dates on our own or with our kids. There are plenty of gluten-free options on the menu, including a gluten-free bun for sandwiches or burgers. The best news is that all of their fries are gluten-free as well as delicious!

Joy Luck

566 W 1350 S, Woods Cross
This is one of our favorite places to eat for date night and recent reviews on our favorite gluten-free app say that they can make almost anything on their menu gluten-free. Chinese food is a hard thing to do gluten-free because of the batter and the sauces so finding a good restaurant that can make the majority of their dishes gluten-free is amazing! My husband loves to stop by on his lunch break, and they always know what his order is. The Mango Chicken and the Lemon Chicken are both unique and delicious dishes and two of our favorites!

The Mandarin

348 900 N, Bountiful
A local favorite for Chinese food is The Mandarin in Bountiful. They have a separate and extensive gluten-free menu that notes that they fry their gluten-free menu items in a separate, dedicated fryer. This is a great option if you are looking to satisfy a Chinese food craving! The prices at The Mandarin are a little higher and we choose to go to Joy Luck most often, but it’s still a great option!

MakMak Thai Cuisine

353 South Main Street, Bountiful
MakMak is a newer Davis County restaurant but already has great reviews on the Find Me Gluten Free app. The majority of their menu is gluten-free. We haven’t checked this one out yet, but plan to soon.

Our Kitchen Cafe

985 N Redwood Rd, North Salt Lake
If you are looking for classic breakfast or brunch options, this restaurant out on Redwood Road is the place to go! They were receiving lots of great reviews in the Gluten Free Utah Facebook group, so we planned a time to go, and it didn’t disappoint. You can order gluten-free pancakes, classic breakfast foods, omelets, and more!

Pizzeria Limone

71 N 500 W #A, West Bountiful
Pizzeria Limone has some of the most amazing salads, and they have always offered a Portobello Cap as a gluten-free option in place of regular crust. The most exciting this is that Pizzeria Limone just recently started offering a gluten-free crust and it has been receiving rave reviews! Not only do they have a gluten-free crust, but they are working with gluten-free influencers to make sure their protocols make their pizza celiac-safe!

Smoked Taco

245 W 500 S, Bountiful
The Smoked Taco in Bountiful has quickly become one of our very favorite places to eat! The majority of their menu is gluten-free, including the chips and churro fries and all but a couple of their tacos. Smoked Taco’s menu is taco meats smoked meats and each taco is filled with flavors that will wow your taste buds. Each month they have a new special taco and flavor of churro fries. You don’t want to sleep on this one!

Smokin Bones BBQ

364 S 200 W, Bountiful
All of the meats at Smokin Bones are gluten-free, they have Mrs. Hewitt’s buns for gluten-free sandwiches, and their Frito Pie is raved about and gluten-free. A few sides and one of the sauces isn’t gluten-free and the prep area is not dedicated, but the staff are knowledgable and take all precautions to ensure everyone can enjoy a meal here.

ti amo

515 W 2600 S, Bountiful
ti amo has been on our list to go for date night for a few years now, but we weren’t always sure about their gluten-free options. They offer a gluten-free crust that my husband said he would order again, knowing that it is a thinner crust because it is Italian style. Many of their salads and a few appetizers can be ordered gluten-free, as well as their gelato I believe. The food is beautiful and delicious, the atmosphere is fun and romantic, and we’ve made it a regular spot.

More South Davis County options are noted below, in the section with restaurants across Davis County.

Gluten-Free Options in Layton & North Davis County

Cafe Sabor

200 Main St, Layton
This is a restaurant that has come highly recommended by other friends and family who eat gluten-free. The menu is extensive and the food is delicious. However, on a recent visit to Cafe Sabor, we found out that the chips and anything fried are made in a shared fryer and are not safe for someone with celiac. This was disappointing because that eliminates a large chunk of the gluten-free menu. There are still plenty of things to order that are good, but be aware and always ask questions.

The Crepery

1863 W 700 S Suite 2, Syracuse
After only being open a short time, The Crepery has a handful of great reviews on the Find Me Gluten Free app. You can order sweet or savory crepes filled with goodness for a great meal. It’s also worth noting that their gluten-free crepes are also dairy-free, which is great when those two food sensitivities coexist, as they often do.

Cupbop

743 King St, Layton
Cupbop is Korean BBQ and has great reviews on the Find Me Gluten Free app. They have cup bases, sauces, and protein that are gluten-free so anyone can enjoy their food. Cupbop has put together some fun collaborative storefronts, and this one includes Ramen 930.

Louie’s Pizzeria and Arcade

1095 N Main St, Layton
We love Louie’s pizza, its atmosphere, and the arcade next door. It’s a fun spot for date night or a family outing. After visiting with both of my kids and noting that they had a gluten-free crust, I did some research. There is a gluten-free disclaimer on Louie’s website, noting the precautions that they take and that they can’t guarantee no cross-contact, but when made aware of celiac or a gluten allergy, they take the efforts they can. Our experience here was great, the flavor combinations are unique, and my husband said he would eat the crust again so it got added to the list.

Orlando’s

141 Main St, Kaysville
Orlando’s in Kaysville is one place where you know you can eat without getting sick! They have a separate gluten-free menu and will take extra precautions when you let them know about your food allergy. We love their chips and salsa, and they have a delicious tostada and tostada salad, but my husband’s go-to is the sweet pork enchiladas with salsa (one of the sauces isn’t gluten-free and he doesn’t like the other).

Outback Steakhouse

1664 N Heritage Park Blvd, Layton
Our regular date night spot for good steak is not celiac friendly so we hadn’t been for a while. My husband’s parents recommended Outback to us and gifted us a date night there to try it out. We’ve been back multiple times and it is on our short list of places to go eat on a date. I love their salads and my husband always gets a good steak. We’re usually appetizer eaters, but we opt for dessert and order the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under, which is a gluten-free brownie topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce and perfect for sharing on a date.

Red Fort

1600 Woodland Park Dr, Layton
This restaurant has been compared to Bombay House and they receive nothing but fabulous reviews. The majority of their menu is gluten-free and can be enjoyed by all!

Red Robin

1562 Woodland Park Dr, Layton
Whenever we’re craving burgers and fries, this is where we go! Red Robin has a gluten-free bun that is the best one my husband has tasted. They also have a dedicated fryer for their fries, so you can eat the steakhouse (without seasoning), sweet potato, or garlic herb fries. This is the restaurant that by far has the most options of things that someone sensitive to gluten can enjoy! We especially love the allergy feature on their menu/website that allows you to view the menu based on what you can safely eat.

Gluten-Free Restaurant Chains in Davis County

Chick-fil-a

540 N 800 W, Centerville // 440 N, Station Pkwy, Farmington // 651 Antelope Dr, Layton
If my husband goes out to eat for lunch, this is one of the places that he goes. Order any of the grilled sandwiches with a gluten-free bun. The bun will come in a package and you’ll have to assemble your sandwich, but my husband says it’s pretty good and he’s never gotten sick. Their fries are also free from cross-contamination because they are fried in a dedicated fryer.

Costa Vida

Of the fast-food Mexican restaurants, this one is the most gluten-friendly. They take care with their food prep and have eliminated flour products from most of their food, except for the flour tortillas and a few desserts. My husband loves to order the Baja Bowl with extra meat. It’s simply a smaller version of the salad, without needing to make any notes about the tortilla.

Five Guys

255 N 500 W Ste. A, Bountiful // 2065 N Harris Blvd, Layton
We recently went to Five Guys in Ogden and had a great experience! They offered my husband a lettuce wrap or burger bowl, used fresh toppings that hadn’t been prepped from yet, and ensured us that the fries were cooked on their own so they were safe for those with celiac. They have locations in Bountiful and Layton and are a great option if you’re craving burgers, fries, and shakes.

Jersey Mike’s

Jersey Mike’s has a good gluten-free sandwich bun and take extra precautions when preparing your food to ensure that there’s no cross-contact. He prefers this over a lettuce wrap at one of his other favorite sandwich restaurants because the bread is his favorite part of most meals and eliminating it is not enjoyable for him. They have locations in Woods Cross and at Station Park in Farmington.

Warrens/Dylan’s

185 N Main St, Kaysville // 1778 S 1000 W, Syracuse
For an added charge, you can have any sandwich or burger put on a gluten-free bun or gluten-free bread. Their bun is really good according to my husband and one he would eat often. He’s been known to compare our buns just to ensure his is gluten-free because it looks and tastes too good. Their house burger sauce contains gluten, so just be sure to order fry sauce instead. Fries are not safe for those with celiac or a gluten allergy. You’ll find a location in Kaysville and Clearfield.

Winger’s

255 N 500 W, Bountiful // 743 N Main St, Clearfield
Winger’s updated its menus and its restaurants to be more gluten-free and celiac-friendly in recent years. We love the Bountiful location (next door to Five Guys) and have heard that multiple staff members, including ownership, are celiac so this location is well-versed in gluten-free protocol. There is also a location on Main Street in Clearfield that we’ve eaten at and enjoyed.

Zao Asian Cafe

The base of the bowls at Zao Asian Cafe is rice or rice noodles, and almost all of the sauces are gluten-free. The bowls are a good size and could feed you for a couple of meals if needed. My husband likes the flavor of Zao’s teriyaki sauce because he’s found that a lot of other gluten-free teriyaki sauces have more of a soy sauce taste. Zao has locations in Woods Cross and at Station Park in Farmington. Recently Zao changed some things on the menu and you have to specify that you want the gluten-free teriyaki sauce. A few things that used to be gluten-free, like the meatballs and one of their soups, are no longer safe. It’s frustrating when tried and true, safe foods are changed, and it’s always a reminder that communication and advocacy are the best way to keep yourself safe.

Gluten-Free Restaurants in Utah - Worth the Trip

Gluten-Free Restaurants in Salt Lake

The Bayou

645 S State St, Salt Lake City
This restaurant was recently recommended in one of the Facebook groups we’ve joined and it’s now on our list to try. They are great about letting you know what is completely gluten-free, what can be substituted to make a meal gluten-free, and what is made in a shared fryer.

Bombay House

2731 E Parleys Way, Salt Lake City
This is a great Indian food restaurant with great reviews and a good gluten-free menu.

Red Iguana

736 W North Temple St, Salt Lake City
Is it sad that we’ve never been to Red Iguana, or Blue Iguana for that matter? We love good Mexican food though and will add this to our date night list for the future. Someone recently asked in a group if everyone preferred Blue Iguana or Red Iguana for gluten-free options and this option won, hands down.

Siragusa’s Taste of Italy

4115 S Redwood Rd, Taylorsville
This locally-owned Italian restaurant is located in a strip mall in Taylorsville and looks very unsuspecting from the outside, but the inside is decorated like Italy and they receive many recommendations and great reviews from local gluten-free groups. My husband ordered pasta on our trip there and said it was some of the best he’s had since his celiac diagnosis. Give them a try!

The Spaghetti Factory

189 Trolley Sq, Salt Lake City // 5718 S 1900 W, Taylorsville
We’ve been going to The Spaghetti Factory for date nights throughout our entire relationship. When my husband was diagnosed, the only thing that bummed me out was that I couldn’t go with him and eat the cheese bread because that would just be mean. Their gluten-free options are decent and always labeled when they come to the table. And the atmosphere is great for date night!

Taqueria 27

149 E 200 S, Salt Lake City // Fashion Place, 6154 S Fashion Blvd #2, Murray
After hearing this restaurant mentioned many times, we decided to try them out. Their guacamole is really good, the tacos are delicious and they even have gluten-free churros with delicious dipping sauce.

Zest Kitchen

275 S 200 W, Salt Lake City
You have to be 21 or older to eat here, but it comes recommended on many threads on social media. Be aware that the restaurant is vegan. But that can be a benefit since a lot of people who eat gluten-free also eat dairy-free.

Gluten-Free Restaurants in Ogden

Aroy-D Thai

1167 W 12th St, Ogden
This place has a certified gluten-free kitchen. And I’ve heard good things about their Thai food as well!

The Pie Pizzeria

4300 Harrison Blvd #12, Ogden
Pizza that’s free of cross-contamination is hard to come by! The Pie has a dedicated space where they prep and cook gluten-free orders. And a completely separate gluten-free menu with some delicious options. If they wanted to bring one to Davis County, I wouldn’t be mad about it!

Rovalis Ristorante Italiano

174 25th St, Ogden
Good gluten-free pasta isn’t too hard to come by, but a restaurant that serves mainly pasta and has good options for gluten-free is rare! This restaurant comes recommended on many lists and is on our list to try as well.

Sonora Grill

2310 Kiesel Ave, Ogden
If you’re looking for good Mexican food in the Ogden area, this restaurant is highly recommended in gluten-free circles. We loved the meal we had here and plan to go back soon. You’ll want a reservation, but it’s worth the effort!

University Greek Broiler

4342 Harrison Blvd, Ogden
If you like Greek food, this is a great place to go. Anything you order should be gluten-free, other than the pitas of course.

Warrens Craft Burger

258 25th St #2302, Ogden
Anywhere that gets recommended for a burger with a good gluten-free bun is automatically on our list. My husband isn’t a lettuce wrap fan, so he won’t go for a burger unless it’s got a really good bun. We’ve been here a couple of times for date night and will go back again.

Zhang’s Chopstix

4510 Harrison Blvd, Ogden
This is a Chinese restaurant with a good gluten-free menu and great food! If you love Chinese, this is a great place to go in the area. It is one of the most recommended in social media groups when others ask for recommendations.

Gluten-Free Restaurants in Cache Valley

Beehive Pub and Grill

255 S Main St, Logan
We love this restaurant because it’s a fun atmosphere, delicious food and they’re knowledgeable in gluten-free. Gluten-free options are carefully labeled, and the servers we’ve had have been aware of potential cross-contamination with things like chips that are served with a dip. They even offered to bake my husband’s fries so they were safe for him to eat.

The Crepery

29 W Center St, Logan
If you like sweet or savory crepes, this is the place to go! They can make your crepes gluten-free and they taste delicious.

Firehouse Pizzeria

682 S Main St, Logan
We LOVE Firehouse and were disappointed when they left Davis County. So we always make a trip here when we’re in Cache Valley. They have gluten-free pizza, pasta, and great salads. Their menu is well labeled, with even the list of sauces and toppings labeled if they’re gluten-free. You can order a gluten-free f’hzookie, which is the only thing that matters.

Juniper Take Out

35 E 400 N, Logan
This restaurant is a huge hit with those who are gluten-free because it’s all of the best comfort food, made safe for them to eat. The owners have celiac and know what they’re doing. They have a certified gluten-free kitchen and I’ve seen this restaurant recommended more than any other.

Tandoori Oven

720 E 1000 N, Logan
If you like Indian food, this restaurant comes highly recommended on many local gluten-free social media groups. We have yet to try it ourselves but have heard nothing but good.

We were overwhelmed when we started trying to eat and date after my husband’s diagnosis. But it’s actually been a lot of fun trying new restaurants, researching menus, and finding the most gluten-free-friendly eateries with the most delicious gluten-free options.

I’m aware that there are generally things that someone with gluten sensitivity can eat almost anywhere they go, but I really want my husband to enjoy food and his life and not feel like he’s settling on date night while I eat something really yummy. He doesn’t love to live on salads, lettuce wraps, grilled chicken with veggies, or mediocre sandwich buns. So it’s been a real goal of mine to find the best of the best that the gluten-free world has to offer!

Tip: Download the Find Me GF app for reviews of celiac-friendly and gluten-free options wherever you travel! We also recommend joining the Gluten Free Utah group on Facebook for more tips and favorites.
