Gluten-Free Guide to Greenville

There was a time—like, not even that long ago—when going gluten-free meant giving up flavor, fun, and honestly… eating out altogether. The safest bet? A plain baked potato and a hopeful heart (we’ve all been there).

Fast forward to today: gluten-free isn’t just mainstream—it’s embraced. More local spots than ever understand what it means to eat GF and go out of their way to make it delicious.

We’ve assembled an EPIC list of over 100 locally owned restaurants and bakeries catering to gluten-free diners without compromising taste or creativity.

Whether you’re celiac or just cutting back, this guide is here to make your foodie heart happy—and safe.
