The food was really really good, I got the fried chicken, the crab cakes and we got the chocolate cake. They were all gluten free and delicious. The building though was so old, and it smelled awful, was very dusty and was a bit hard to breath because it was so musky. I’ve been to some restaurants that were in older buildings and none of them have been like that. Then our service was really bad also. So food-5 stars, atmosphere-1 star service-1 star. There is outdoor seating so maybe it’s worth it to sit outside and eat in the fresh air. They had a ton of gluten free options though.
The silver diner is a great restaurant, offering a variety of foods vegan as well as all gluten-free, many of choices. You can ask for breakfast, also can have lunch or dinner our during breakfast hours. Sebastian was our server today he has a great personality, quick server and very polite. I would recommend the silver diner if you’re in the Fairfax area.
Omg, I wish I had discovered this place sooner! I can’t eat gluten or dairy and this place was such a find for my restricted diet! As well as a great find for people with regular diets! I had a savory and sweet crepe and both were perfection!
Ate here for lunch with my husband and son. The food was delicious and service was superb as always. The second we sat down the service was ready to help me get something started for my son who was clearly hangry and on the verge of a toddler meltdown. She was knowledgeable about the menu and navigated his dairy allergy like a champion. He had the kids burger and seemed to enjoy it. I had the steak salad and it was DELICIOUS(made gluten free and Celiac safe). My husband got himself a burger and also said it was great(he is picky about his burgers and said it was cooked perfectly and he didn't have to scrape any condiments off like usual)
A little loud, but phenomenal spot. Tons of gluten free options. Fast service and extremely affordable. The app to order makes splitting checks way less awkward. I recommend if you are ordering for you and your partner, sit next to them if you are in a group. It makes it way easier to know what’s yours.
Wonderful little gluten free bakery with a wide selection of vegan options! Great place to grab a quick treat. Their pop tarts and dinner rolls are incredible 🤤
Both the reviews online and their online menu state that they have gluten free noodles. However, when I called and spoke to the restaurant, they confirmed that they do not. Disappointing.
Love stopping in here for quick lunches. Fast and friendly customer service. They are generous with sauces and toppings and love that they have Gluten friendly crust options as well as a cauliflower crust.
“Market Rate” fish got me! Always ask what the price is if the menu said “Market Rate!” $30 surprise bill for a gluten free entree! And the fish was maybe 4 oz, 2 stalks of asparagus and a lump of mashed potatoes. Yes it was delicious but far from worth $30! Left me feeling ripped off.
Met up with a friend here since it was a mid-way point between DC and Manassas and she needed gluten free options. Hadn't been here since pre-COVID, but it is still awesome! Service was great, food options are plentiful, and all the dog-named menu items are always fun. Melted Brie on sandwiches are sooo good. And my friend said the GF crust on her pizza was the best she's had. (BTW, if we could get a Prince William County location that would be GREAT)
4 stars because before I became gluten free for health reasons, tony’s was my favorite pizza place. unfortunately it was the worst gluten free pizza i’ve ever had. the crust was crumbly and chewy, not crispy and fresh like their regular pizza crust. I couldn’t even get through 2 pieces. it was not good, please consider trying a new gf crust.
Thank you so much for the amazing food at our end of year teacher luncheon last week.
Truly, something for everyone! Our school staff is a mix of carnivores, vegetarians, vegans, gluten intolerant, and picky eaters ( that's me!) So many of us went back for seconds.
I am planning on coming to your restaurant with my husband soon.
The four stars for atmosphere, is ONLY because our luncheon was held in OUR elemtary school cafeteria.
The food was good but my daughter is very sensitive to gluten and we emphasized to keep it gluten free because of her allergies. We ordered panang curry and pad see ew which say they are gluten free, however, after eating my daughter's stomach started hurting. I think there may have been some sort of cross-contamination. I hope that this problem can be avoided in the future because when someone says something is gluten free that means there shouldn't be any gluten.
I’d always swing by this CAVA when I’m in the area but today was the last day I’ll ever go to this location.
I have celiac disease. To put it into simple words I CANNOT have gluten and my food cannot be contaminated with the slightest crumb of gluten or it leaves me very sick for up to two weeks.
I asked the woman who was making my order to please change her gloves before making my order since they’ve been contaminated by gluten (pita bread, pita chips, etc.), she gladly did so.
I got my food and was on my way. I then open my bowl and find a pita chip in my bowl, so I turn back around to go back to CAVA and get it replaced.
Long story short she was arguing with me saying it’s just a small piece and didn’t understand what the issue was. I tried to make her understand what my disease is and how cross contamination makes me sick but she took it as me being stuck up. She finally said she’d remake it, mumbled something in Spanish in an angry tone to her coworker, and handed it back to me with an upset face like I inconvenienced her.
Staff needs to be educated on what celiac disease is because feeling like a burden on staff for their own mistakes isn’t what should be happening. Training on allergies and cross-contamination should be done so as well to avoid this.
This is very upsetting.

This is absolutely one of our favorite spots! We have been going here for over a decade and will continue to do so for as long as we are in the area. The food is delicious, cocktails are great and they have a great beer and whiskey selection. Service is always superb even when busy. The kitchen is careful with food intolerance handling my Celiac (Gluten-free) and my son's Dairy allergy with ease. A must try is the Potato soup and the Shepherds pie. An honorable mention for the Cottage pie and their burgers!

In its "glory days" it was ranked in 2017 & 2020 as the "Best Food Allergy Champion" for their extensive allergy menus and their preparation for making food safely. These are proudly listed on their website too. In fact it used to be a safe go-to place for me as GD had many Gluten Free options. I could even get loaded fries that were safe! Due to the change in ownership the company as a whole has gotten rid of the dedicated fryers and significantly reduced the GF menu. Big bummer and crumby of the company to disregard so many of their customers. I've had several worsening experiences but this takes the cake. The grilled wings continuously come out charred and inedible. Spending $53 and 19 out of my 24 wings ordered were charred to a crisp...

Food always wonderful especially their creative fish specials! The grouper with Brussels and bacon pieces and creamed cream wonderful. Our waitress(Angel) very helpful in us ordering since my husband has a gluten allergy and he even had a great chocolate dessert available. Angel gave us excellent service! We will be back for sure!
My family and I visited this restaurant for dinner recently. I have a gluten allergy, so I checked to make sure there were GF options online before visiting. I also asked the hostesses if there was a GF menu upon arriving, and they provided me with the special menu to start. One might ask... why would I go to OG, of all places, if I have a gluten allergy? Because... sometimes family wants to go somewhere different, and sometimes I just don't want to have to search for something specific - it's a lot of work. And I can handle some level of cross contamination. If there's a GF menu, I'll try it. So we went. After about a half an hour after getting home, I became really sick - my stomach started to turn and I was in the bathroom for hours. Gluten exposure or cross-contamination in small amounts isn't going to kill me. It might give me a few hives on my cheeks, but usually I can withstand a little exposure. But if I eat an entire meal, I'm going to be sick. It's not something I want to experience if I can avoid it, and it's certainly not something I want to pay for. I checked the receipt and it only says CYO pasta/rigatoni (not sure if it would indicate GF). My husband (who eats gluten) also tried the leftover pasta we brought home (which is still miraculously in tact) and thinks it could either be a mix of GF and regular pasta because it varied in consistency or it's just all regular pasta.) If OG is reading this, please check your GF pasta and the process by which your servers and cooks are handling it or don't offer it. I'd hate for this to happen to someone else.
Other notes: We waited forever for service, no bread or water while waiting. Server finally comes out, no apology - we just go ahead and order everything. I'm careful to point to my GF menu and order GF rigatoni. We also put in an order for mixed drinks (gin/tonic and Manhattan). And then we wait forever, and still no bread or water or mixed drinks, which serve to tie over customers while they wait for the entree - or maybe slower service. We're beginning to think the free bread has gone by the wayside with covid cutbacks. Meanwhile, we see other servers bustling about back and forth, attending to their customers. None of them ever check on us, which I find odd - most restaurants, especially if short-staffed, will have a number of folks check on us or delivering food. Eventually our server comes out, bringing just about everything at once, including bread - but no mixed drinks. Server never really checks in after food delivery, which is standard. I notice that my rigatoni is miraculously in-tact and not falling apart, as is pretty normal for GF pasta, and think - wow, OG really has found some impressive GF pasta. About halfway through the meal, the server - the one time she visits our table once we get our meal - let's us know the bar is just now making our drinks. No apology, no explanation, nothing - just at our table as briefly as possible. We have experienced A LOT of clunky service since covid - and we've learned to go out to eat just not in a hurry, enjoying each other's company, and basically expecting delays. But we've met so many really kind, attentive, friendly servers that make the experience enjoyable. We did not get that at all. This server seemed really inexperienced, or just not great with people. Close to the end of our meal, we finally got our drinks. Whatever she brought me was basically water and fruit. After we finished our meal, we waited and waited and waited. Finally pushed the "call server" button on the screen/game device on the table (that was obnoxiously blinking red the entire time), because I wanted the drink taken off the check. She took the drink off, and we paid the check and left. On a positive note, the restaurant and bathrooms were clean.
Afternoon Tea at Mazadar is a wonderful, delicious experience!! Ida provided warm hospitality to me and my mom and sister, with a beautiful and abundant spread of sandwiches, fruits, veggies, cheese, and more. The dips, served with pita, were tasty and unique. The homemade scones and jam were phenomenal!! We enjoyed a pot of their house-mixed black tea and then the honey ginger lemon tea - both wonderful! The ambiance at Mazadar is also comfortable and charming.
I was especially impressed and grateful that Ida was able to adjust the menu for my sister’s gluten free and dairy free diet, providing her with a plate of GF / DF sandwiches so she could enjoy the experience equally with no concern about the menu.
Ida was so kind and wonderful to work with in booking the reservation and hosting our tea party.
We will definitely come back!! Hopefully for another tea party but I would also love to try the regular dining at Mazadar as well.
Very upset I ordered the scrambled egg bowl with grilled chicken for breakfast. Since I am gluten free and it is the only item I order for breakfast every time at this location. However when I ordered it this time the eggs were NOT scrambled and were just egg whites! I tried to tell the employee but she said that’s how they always make it when I know that was a lie because I order it 3 times a week. The employee was rude and handled the situation extremely poorly by making up excuses that were not true.
I have visited this California Pizza location in Fairfax Corner several times, especially when my nephews come to town, and we always have a good time. Their pizzas are consistently delicious and less salty than other pizza restaurants. They also have healthier options like gluten-free pizzas and tasty salads. This makes it more appealing to go back and try. The service is decent, and the servers are friendly. The place is well-maintained and clean. Although parking is free, finding a spot on weekends can be challenging since Fairfax Corner is a popular hangout spot.
Good food all around. Affordable drinks
Excellent Tandoori chicken and they have very good masala chai. Also a great place for vegetarians and people with a gluten allergy!
The bhaigan bharta was the best our vegetarian friend has had in the area. They also have a gluten allergy and raved about the makki roti (corn roti) which surrounding Indian restaurants simply don't offer.
Beautiful location - probably the fanciest looking Indian restaurant in Fairfax. The kind of place that can host parties. There is also an individual room for special occasions that I believe can be reserved.
Yadav provided excellent service - thank you!
Enjoy
Very cute hot pot place! The food was all very good. The individual hot pot bowls are great and the veggie broth is gluten free. They also have a sauce bar where the gluten free options are marked so you can spice up the broth if you want. The brisket meat was delicious and the service was excellent. The music was a bit too loud, hard to talk over. If you’re hard of hearing I wouldn’t recommend it.
Simple American cuisine that's not too expensive. Burgers, ribs, steaks, etc. My girlfriend has celiac disease and they've always been very accommodating. They'll give you a gluten-free menu if you request it.
The best burgers I've ever had! I'm gluten free so I was so excited to eat a burger on a bun! The service was a bit slow, but we were a large group so I can't hold this against them. The young man who waited on us was delightful. He checked on us numerous times between waiting on other customers and cleaning tables. The music was a bit loud for my taste, but I'm sure it suits a younger clientele. During our short stay in Fairfax we went back a second time, which says a lot. Overall, it is a bit pricey but a super great burger!
Update: I read some reviews mentioning the ordering kiosk. There is one there and you are encouraged to use it, but I was with some older people who wanted to order the old-fashioned way, with a human. 😄 The young man working the floor said he understood and gladly took our orders.
Mother's Day was our second time dining here and our server from the last time remembered us. So thankful for the delicious food and libations here. Eggs in Purgatory is a must. My absolute favorite. It does come with brioche, so if you are gluten sensitive like me, you can give to another in your group or opt out. In love with the sangiovese we had this visit. So good!!
This is by far my favorite Chuy's location. Manager Amin and his team make everyone feel like family, ensuring a warm and welcoming experience. Their gluten-free options are plentiful and delicious, making it a safe haven for my gluten-intolerant wife and kids.
Food is fantastic. My personal Go-To meal when visiting High Side is a starter of Edamame followed with their Gluten Free Popcorn Chicken over rice. They finish the dish with mama picked cucumbers and a sunny side up egg over the top of the chicken and rice. Delish!
I get Roots at least once a week and it is consistently delicious and service is top notch! I have a few dietary restrictions and it is very gluten free friendly. The key differentiators of Roots to other fast casual restaurants is that they ALWAYS give great portions and the staff is so, so notably friendly! Yesterday, we went an hour before closing and there was definitely enough chicken for my bowl, but it was the last bit. Instead of giving me this, they made a new batch which was so unexpected and nice. I will always come back!
We went to Ocean Paradise tonight for a celebration and loved it! Katie, the waitress, was so incredibly sweet. We had a lot of questions, and she was extremely patient with us and answered all of them! Everyone in our party also really enjoyed their food! I had the lobster pasta (gluten free) - the lobster was one of the best I have had especially in this area. The lobster was so sweet and tender and cooked to perfection! The gluten free pasta was cooked perfectly-which most places do not know how to do! My husband had the Connecticut style lobster roll, and he agreed the lobster was amazing. My daughter had the seafood platter, and she really enjoyed her meal as well. We had key lime pie for desert and loved it! Believe the reviews on this one-I am extremely picky.
Absolutely amazing! I can’t have gluten and they went out of their way to make sure I wasn’t going to have any issues with cross contamination, kept me informed of all of the options available to me, and just generally made it a wonderful experience. The manager is fantastic and I will be going back
Came here with my son and his Grandma after shoe shopping and had an excellent lunch! We checked every ingredient to make sure my son was safe with his dairy allergy. The 2 servers assisting us worked as a team and made the experience seamless. We've eaten here before and I have gotten sick(Celiac) so I was nervous and the server took extra care and even recommended gluten free items with reduced cross contamination risk and helped me order a delicious cheesecake!
We had a party with 30 people with many dietary needs (allergies, celiac, vegetarian) and The Kirby Club was amazing! We had such good food and drink and a great atmosphere. The service was above and beyond. Tariq was great to work with! We would totally use them again for a get together. When you go you must try the vegan date ice cream - it was excellent!
