There are relatively few gluten free restaurants in the Dakotas. Fortunately, several nationwide restaurant chains are committed to serving America’s gluten free community. Keep in  mind that our ‘safest’ meals come from restaurants owned by large corporations with large number of employees charged with maintaining quality control and making sure that individual restaurants don’t make promises that they can’t or won’t fulfill. Click on the power page “Restaurants Serving Gluten Free Meals” in the sidebar (or click here) to find information about Beau Jo’s Colorado Pizza Restaurants, Carino’s Italian Grill, Chili’s Grill and Bar, Godfathers Pizza, Happy Joe’s Piza and Ice Cream, Lonestar Steakhouse, Noodles and Company, Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, and Pizza Ranch.

Here are links to three independently owned and operated gluten free restaurants:

♦ FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA / Doolittle’s Woodfire Grill/ they also operate three restaurants in Michigan

♦ SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA / Nucci’s Italian Bistro and Gelato / 605.362.1444 / customers ordering gluten free are asked to call ahead because ‘safe’ foods are “made in small batches” to insure freshness.

♦ SPEARFISH, SOUTH DAKOTA / Good Earth Natural Food Store and Sunshine Cafe / 605.642.7639
