If you are planning a trip to Deep Creek Lake and are on a gluten free diet, this is the post for you! Whether you have celiacs disease, a gluten sensitivity or are gluten free by choice, there are several options for you in Deep Creek Lake. I have been gluten free since I was diagnosed with celiacs four years ago and have found it easy to find gluten free food in Deep Creek. This is your gluten free guide to Deep Creek Lake.
Gluten Free Grocery Shopping in Deep Creek
There are two grocery stores that offer gluten free options in Deep Creek.
1. Shop N’ Save in McHenry
The best place to shop for gluten free food in Deep Creek is the Shop N’ Save in McHenry. When you enter the Shop N Save, to the right of the produce section is The Gourmet Shop.
The Gourmet Shop contains a large supply of gluten free items, including snacks, desserts, entrees and baking supplies. The Gourmet Shop also has a large supply of organic food as well. In addition to the Gourmet Shop section of the store, the regular freezer section also has some gluten free desserts and baked goods.
Walmart in Oakland
The Walmart in Oakland carries some gluten free items, but there is not nearly the wide selection that you will find at Shop N’ Save.
The food prices, in general, are cheaper at Walmart, which is better for big shopping trips. However, if you are looking for specific gluten free options, Shop N’ Save is the best place to go.
Gluten Free Restaurants In Deep Creek
It is always important to check with your server to make sure that the menu items are gluten free. Some menu items may be cooked on shared equipment.
Ace’s Run
Ace’s Run is one of my top two choices for gluten free dining in Deep Creek. They have one of the largest selections of gluten free menu items. Their menu clearly indicates which dishes are gluten free with a “GF” and it also lists when gluten free substitutes are available. Some of my favorite substitutes at Ace’s Run are gluten free pasta, gluten free corn bread (which is my absolute favorite–I get it every time I go!), and gluten free sandwich & burger buns. Ace’s Run is also located lakefront which is an added bonus!
Uno’s Pizzeria & Grill
Their substitutes include gluten free pasta, gluten free buns and my favorite–their gluten free pizza! The first time I had it, I actually asked the server to confirm that it was gluten free because it did not look or taste like most gluten free pizzas. The crust was THICK and delicious! I am used to the thin, crispy cauliflower crust pizzas, which are not bad, but Uno’s gluten free crust tastes just like regular pizza! Uno’s is also located lakefront, adjacent to the Honi Honi Bar.

I’ve never had their regular pumpkin roll, but judging on how unbelievably delicious the gluten free one is, I can’t imagine how amazing the regular one is! Their gluten free pumpkin roll is such a hit that I always buy extra to bring back to my gluten free friends as treats.

Gluten Free in Deep Creek
Just because a restaurant is not listed in this post does not mean that you can’t find something gluten free on the menu. One of my favorite restaurants in Deep Creek is not on this list only because they don’t offer gluten free substitutions. I still love it and just order meat and veggies whenever I go there!
This post highlights the Deep Creek restaurants that offer gluten free substitutions or specific gluten free options.
