We have reasonably good control over what we eat at home. When we are away, we have less control, and the consequences of an “accident” are often more severe. I have written several articles about celiac friendly restaurants. This list covers restaurant chains that promise gluten free meals on their websites. None of these restaurants claim to be totally gluten free so cross contamination is always a possibility. The good news is that these restaurant chains have legal departments tasked with making sure that individual restaurants do not make promises that they are not willing or able to keep. Also, these restaurant chains serve gluten free meals in a many places and their websites give specific instructions for finding convenient locations.This is a real boon for travelers. Still another advantage is that the chain restaurant you visit while traveling is probably very much like one that you have visited at home. This alleviates the stress that every celiac feels when he or she enters a “strange” restaurant.

This list is in alphabetical order. It includes all restaurant groups that provide service in more than one state. Because the list is so long, I divided it into at least three parts. Click here if you would like to jump to the second part of the list, which starts with Claim Jumper Restaurants.
