6. Squeeze In – Carson City, Las Vegas, Reno, South Reno, Fernley, Sparks
Nevada is the place to be if you’re gluten-free! Squeeze In has several locations throughout the state. Burgers can be made GF by asking your server for a lettuce wrap instead of a bun, or you can opt for anything on the menu that has the designated gluten-free symbol next to its name. These include things like the Wild Whitney salad, Troy’s Twice Bake Scramble, and Root Veggie Breakfast Bowl.
Omelets are another great allergy-friendly option, as you can just skip the side of toast. Some of the local favorites include The Popeye omelet, which is made with fresh mushrooms, spinach, and Jack cheese, and The Spanish Flay (a tribute to celebrity chef Bobby Flay), which features chorizo, potatoes, peppers, and Jack cheese.
