Hi -- If you go to Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park (outside of Long 
Beach), there is a restaurant called Ghostville(town?), Chef Bobby was very 
helpful, prepared our lunch in a separate kitchen, just the way we wanted it. Call ahead.
ahead if possible.
You asked for any GF places to eat during your trip.  My wife has a GF Bakery here in Madison, WI and sells, in addition to her GF products, the 2006-2007 GF Restaurant Guide.  I looked up your request & found: 
 
1. Claim Jumper, 6501 E. Pacific Coast Hwy. 
2. Mimi's Cafe', 6670 E. Pacific Coast Hwy. 
3. Outback, 20 W. Shoreline Dr. 
4. P.F. Chang's, 340 S. Pine Ave 
5. Vintage Tea Leaf, 969 E. Broadway 
 
Which ever you pick, I'd check with the waiter/chef to make sure they are still in a "GF Frame of Mind." 
 
By the way, my wife's bakery ships all over the U.S. If you would like to visit her website:    www.sillyyakbakery.com    (click the GLUTEN FREE Products) 
 
I highly recommend the GF Majestic Valley Coffeecake, the GF Garlic Cheddar bread and especially the GF Cinnamon Swirl.  Ask for a recipe utilizing the GF Swirl that makes double-decker GF French Toast with a layer of bananas in-between.  It's out of this world; in the neighborhood of Mars or Venus. 
 
Many folks taking trips order product just ahead of time and take it with -or- if they're going to be at their destination awhile, they have GF product shipped directly there so it's on-hand.
