Here, we list local restaurants and some bakeries in Winston-Salem that offer gluten-free menus or menus that indicate gluten-free dishes. While this makes ordering your meal less stressful, be sure to ask questions of the wait staff about the gluten-free procedures at the restaurant. You might even request to speak to the chef or manager about menu items, as there are less obvious sources of gluten like soy sauce and malted barley and the danger of cross-contamination of which wait staff may not be aware. Asking questions is especially important if you have Celiac disease.
