People often post here asking about restaurants in a place they are 
planning to visit. Both UrbanSpoon and Yelp have options to search 
for gluten-free, though Yelp's gluten-free checkbox only appears for 
some locations. Even when it doesn't appear, a search on gluten free 
will usually turn up results. And the number of people contributing 
to these sites is far greater than the 3000 subscribers here.

Let's take some examples. Here is Myrtle Beach:

http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=gluten+free&find_loc=Myrtle+Beach

There are lots of places listed that were not in the posted summary.

These sites also let you pin down a specific location in a large 
city. For example, let's say you are looking for something near Shedd 
Aquarium in Chicago.

Let's start with UrbanSpoon. After finding your city (small towns may 
not be present) click the "Gluten-Free Friendly" along the left. In 
Chicago there are 546. I don't think it knows about Shedd. So I kept 
enlarging the map until I could find the Museum Campus. The closest 
is Yolk, a basic American place that has a high rating. Looking at 
their site I didn't find a GF menu. But a simple e-mail gets back: 
"Although we do not have specific gluten free dishes such as french 
toast or pancakes, much of our menu is naturally free of gluten. All 
skillets, omelets, scramblers and basic egg dishes are gluten free if 
you opt out of the toast option as a side. Keep in mind we can 
customize almost anything to your liking as well."

A bit north at the loop is Pizano's Pizza & Pasta. A look at their 
site only finds a gluten-free whole wheat pasta. Strange. I'd pass.

Moving to Yelp. They show a long list of neighborhoods. Zooming in 
the map finds that the Museum Campus is in the Near Southside 
neighborhood. No hits for GF. The next neighborhood is South Loop. 
Checking that returns three in The Loop:

They don't look to be as family friendly as http://eatyolk.com/
