11 Best Gluten-Free Restaurants in Myrtle Beach

- by vmb
Eating gluten-free in Myrtle Beach isn’t the compromise it used to be. This stretch of the Grand Strand has stepped up—big time—with restaurants that actually get cross-contamination, menus that go beyond sad substitutions, and kitchens that know how to deliver real flavor without the guesswork.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite between beach days or locking in a solid dinner spot, you’ve got legit options. If you’re staying at the oceanfront The Caravelle Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, or planning a visit, we’ve got the ultimate guide to mouth-watering, gluten-free dining on the Grand Strand.

Although all restaurants on this list typically offer gluten-free items, we recommend calling in advance to double check their current menu and if cross-contamination should be a concern.

Let’s dig into our favorite gluten-free restaurants in Myrtle Beach.

The menu leans Southern, but it’s not stuck in the past. You’ll find gluten-free-friendly takes on classics like shrimp and grits, herb-roasted chicken, and fresh veggie-forward sides.
