Great place for seafood and Gluten Free dining. We went for dinner and lunch both. The servers were fun and personable but they can be a little slow. It's worth it though. The food was great and there are numerous GF options.
I was really excited to try this spot and was a little disappointed. Great and extensive menu with gluten-free, vegan, and healthy options.
I ordered the pancake combo, and my pancakes were undercooked. They were perfectly brown on the outside, but the inside wasn't cooked through enough.
My server was friendly and the restaurants decor matches it's name.
Early 4:30 PM dinner on 5/2/25.
* Note: You can use the public parking lot across the street for $6 an hour vs the valet at the restaurant. I don't want kids driving my vehicle.
We have been coming to Virginia Beach off/on for 24 years and dining at Waterman's each trip. 3 years since our last visit. Walk in. No reservation. Seated promptly inside as requested. Our standard order for two orange crushes placed. These crushes had very little actual orange taste and more ice than drink. $9.25 each. We have the drink recipe from Waterman's and make them at home regularly with the original Burnett's orange vodka. These crushes were made with the new Waterman's orange branded vodka. Didn't order any more.
My wife's salmon salad and crab cake were very good. My lobster tail and sides were also good. A lot of flies inside the restaurant detracted from the meal.
*Note this review was completed without using ridiculous un-discriptive terms like out-of-bounds, OMG, on point, awesome, the bomb, yummy, delish, to die for, do yourself a favor, trust me, flavorful, or kids emojis etc.. Describe the food, service (or lack of) and provide details on the cost/copy of check and include pictures! Is the place clean? No disrespect to the employees, but no one cares about the waiter/waitress/clerk names, or if they look like they fell face first into a tackle box. They get changed like underwear and you don't get to pick one. We don't care about your allergies, vibes, how "chill" you feel, or the need for gluten free food.

Select- Not helpful at the bottom of the drop down menu. If the review doesn’t help people decide whether to utilize this business or go to this place it's worthless.
We entertain our 'out of town' family every summer, and every year, they request Ynot Italian for a big family dinner. It's a place that never disappoints! Everyone finds a delicious choice for dinner, even our gluten free family members..with no fuss! The staff are very friendly and so efficient. It's a fantastic family restaurant!
The best in Virginia Beach!!! I have celiac disease and it was wonderful to go to a resteraunt with certified gluten free entrees- they have tons of choices!! Gkuten free Waffle was amazing 👏🏻 I also got an omelet, hashbrowns and toady ALL GF.
This has been our family spot for years when we come for family vacation. It’s 9 times out of 10 a great experience. Some good things. They have great gluten free options. Their orange crushes are the best. And the prices are deff reasonable. Some not so good things. Caution if you sit outside when there is live music, you can’t hear each other talk and will have to yell. Some of their dishes lack flavor. Their peel and eat shrimp are almost inedible due to not being deveined and hard to clean out yourself.
My family had a really wonderful experience. We were a large party celebrating a birthday and everything was great. From the food to the service to the atmosphere. We're looking forward to returning for our next special event.
Oh and every dish that was ordered was delicious. We had a mixed group of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and omnivore and everyone was happy with their meal.
Perfect burgers every time. It can get pretty busy around dinner time on the weekends, but there are usually a couple seats at the bar if you want to skip the wait. The fries are so crispy and nicely seasoned! The Willie Nelson burger is incredible and great perfect portion size. We also enjoy the gluten free build your own burger— decent gf burger bun that doesn’t fall apart and the tater tots are gluten free.
Excellent pizza and fast and friendly service.
My wife has a gluten allergy and she ordered their gluten free pizza and loved it.
I would highly recommend this place.
This sandwich shop was the cutest with all of the fresh ready to meal items and then there's the actual sandwiches! VERY fresh, LOTS of fillings in the sandwich and TONS of flavor. Even better with my gluten allergy they had bread options and were careful to note my other for my safety. Definitely coming back!
I was so excited to see all the options for vegans! Whether you are health conscious desiring gluten free options or just want some vegan comfort food, they have it here at Honest Pastures! Thank you for creatively offering vegan choices for Hampton Roads
My Husband and I go to Rudee's each year after the VA BEACH BOAT SHOW. I now have to Gluten Free and was afraid there wouldn't be much I'd eat there now...I am beyond thankful to see ALL THE GF ITEMS!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SUCH A BIG GF MENU!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
A very delicious lunch today. The food was great. I like the gluten free options, would love if they can bring in a gluten free bun for the lamb burger. O'doughs has an excellent sandwich bun, taste the most like real bread. It's kept in the freezer (wont spoil) for toasting. Hint! Hint!
I appreciate that you offer great food at affordable prices. Everything was fresh. We will be back!! That's a promise.

It was our very first time visiting last night. The food and drinks were delicious. It was a good experience being hands on with our meals. I am gluten free and they had great options even with the dessert. We will definitely be coming back for our future date nights.
Lovely dinner seaside, listening to the waves. The meal was perfectly prepared and served. Plenty of gluten free and dairy free options for my wife. Many filling dishes that are lighter on calories. Everything is clearly marked. The vegetables were delicately prepared with just the right balance of spices, garlic, herbs, and salt.
This is a very nice place to pop in and grab a bite. The gluten free pizza was very good and salad was nice and fresh which I really appreciate. Our waiter was kind and helpful and informative.
They seemed to be fighting about the music somewhat - that was kind of interesting. The place seemed clean and everything came out speedy quick even on Valentine’s Day!!!
Food is good and a lot of vegetarian and gluten free options. Just don’t come here for the service. They are slow (30 minute wait for soup and tacos…and it wasn’t very busy), the girl taking orders doesn’t know how to talk to people and made ordering really awkward, and they made a mistake on my food.
We enjoyed our breakfast. Wonderful north beach omellette. Just the right amount of crab and cheese. Ched Dean took care of my wifes allergies to gluten and soy. Its nerve wracking to eat out with allergies but our waitress Lalla did a great job of reassuring us. We did let them know ahead of our stay we were coming. I think thats very helpful for them.
Always a great meal! So grateful that they have gluten free options! Their gluten free pizza is probably the best in town! Our family loves doing take out from here! Love this place!
Summary: Nicole was funny and friendly! Food was delicious (and had gluten free sandwich bread) prices were very decent for our large party. Sit by a window if you need extra light to read menu.
We came in as a party of 5 of visitors (Army base nearby). Nicole waited on us and she was SUPER friendly and knowledgeable on all the menu items. She was patient and quickly brought our food out despite the lunch rush (which the food was delicious and had good portion sizes by the way). The shakes were amazing and I was pleasantly surprised by the gluten free bread substitute on my Reuben.
The atmosphere was cozy, but we went on a day that didn't have a lot of natural light so I recommend if your party needs more light to see the menu, perhaps sit near a window. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time and the high reviews here aren't kidding!

We came on the day the surges hit for Ophelia and this was a hidden gem!
Staff was amazing, and allowed our doggie to be with us... we came in for breakfast and then had to have their supper too and everything was great!
I appreciated their gluten free and healthy menu! For the price couldn't beat it.
Having Graze Kitchen cater my wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They crafted a gluten-free farm-to-table menu specifically for my husband and I's tastes. Everyone raved about the food at the wedding. Multiple people said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. One friend commented "there are few meals I will remember forever, but that was one of them." Not only was the food insanely delicious but the entire team was professional, friendly, and a joy to work with. If you're getting married in Hampton Roads, or hosting an event of any kind, do yourself a favor and book Graze Kitchen!
Had the best ever Cauliflower pizza there. There are plenty options for vegeterian and gluten free. The place is extremely clean, location is excellent and pizza were the best. Highly recommended.
Food was ok but very dinner like. They only offer gluten free bread substitute. No pancakes, no bagel, and waffle options. Amazing service and very clean though!
Came here after my find my gluten free app suggested that it was a highly safe place to eat. Just 3 people in my party (2 adults 1 child).
My waiter didn’t seem like he was particularly interested in talking to the kitchen about my intolerances (dairy, soy, and gluten). He didn’t write anything down and I had to confirm with him twice that he remembered them.
The people at the bar were excessively loud and rowdy.
After 45 minutes they informed me they were out of shrimp (the appetizer I ordered).
After 70 minutes since being seated the food still hadn’t arrived.
After 80 minutes of waiting the appetizer for the other 2 at my table came out.
After almost 90 minutes since being sat my salad came out. They got my daughters wrong. The chicken on my salad was ice cold. I guarantee my waiter didn’t tell the staff about my allergies. Overall a really awful experience after being hopeful that I’d get a good, safe meal.

Ordered the gluten free pasta with shrimp and scallops, was given the wrong pasta unknowingly. Began eating the seafood first when a male waiter who is not our server caught the mistake and told our waitress Sabrina that she gave me the wrong pasta. I had already been picking at the food and ate off it and then she came over with my new plate. I figured since I was already eating off this plate they were going to throw it away so I asked her if she could at least let me have some of the seafood I had already started on with my new plate and she could just take the pasta away. I thought it was reasonable request especially considering the significant error and I assumed they were just going to throw it away anyway. But she said she had to bring it back to the kitchen so they can make a new one. It is then I realized they were probably going to give that food to somebody else! After I already ate on the plate, there is no doubt in my mind. The portion has also become much smaller than I rememer. The bathrooms were disgusting, the dining area was very nice I would say five stars but then you walk into the bathroom and it's like a two-star place.
The food is always hot, wrapped well, and they can do Gluten-Free dishes. Very impressed with it. They seem to use white meat chicken for those that are used to dark
I ordered a dish with pork after a last minute change as I realized my original order contained gluten-the waitperson was great. Unfortunately the pork was so tough I could only eat about half of the order and then via rigorous chewing.
At no time over about 25-30 minutes did either of the two waitstaff ask if everything was alright.
Add the fact that the ac was broken and it was 92 outside and I’m not coming back soon
I am gluten free,while the menu doesn't have it listed the staff accommodated and confirmed choices on menu to make sure it was safe for me to eat.
Definitely recommend the tuna bites and oysters (if you like sea food)
You can also do bunless for burgers and sandwiches and Salads with edited choices. Appreciate all the help 💜
One thing a GF person can count on is good food and dessert at Outback. We both had a Cobb salad and shared the chocolate thunder from down under. Gluten free made delicious.

Nice big place with its own personality. High quality beef and fish. They don’t have vegetarian and vegan options, but they have gluten free. I give it four stars because the deserts weren’t as good as they sound, they were very basic and not much flavor involved and they need at least one dessert that has some kind of refreshing fresh fruit or berry to clean the palate.
The food here is so authentic and wonderful. The staff is incredibly helpful and thanks to an almost completely gluten free menu, we had a massive amount of choices. Thank you.

We came here because of the number of 5 star reviews on Google, and I'm super excited to add my own 5 star review. Carib Shack is incredibly accommodating and knowledgable about vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. We had a great meal here, the vegetarian options are totally awesome, the staff understands what "gluten free" means, and the rosemary fries were off the chizzle: I think about them when I'm having a sad and it perks me right up. Wish we could've eaten in the restaurant but as of May 2022, it's carry out only.

Nice place, with a flare of casual elegance. Food was delicious. Wine menu is fairly good, would like to see a few more euro wines. Accommodating to those with dietary needs such as being gluten free.
We had the marinated portobello's, and the roasted garlic and goat cheese appetizer. My friend I was with has celiac disease so they made us a cauliflower pizza crust with drizzled garlic and olive oil and it was divine.
Some times busier than others but ALWAYS worth the delicious food for every age & stage! Especially EXCITED about GLUTEN FREE bun option!!
Thank you Chick-fil-A😄❤️😄❤️😄❤️
We had a great experience for date night. The atmosphere was perfect, and the booths super comfortable. Our waitress was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure I received a celiac safe meal.
We tried three different types of shrimp rolls (bang bang, buffalo, and fried) as well as the Lobster roll and lobster cheese sauce. Everything was OUTSTANDING. Our son is allergic to gluten and fish so he was only able to eat the "Red Hot dog". We ordered it plain, no bun. I was floored when they gave me a discount of $0.50 because we didn't take the bun. We always have to make substitutions for his food and often pay extra, never get a discount. The food was so good we orderd more even though we were full! You will NOT be disappointed. Highly recommend.
Celiac friendly
