I'm really appreciative of the gluten free options as someone who has a pretty severe gluten allergy, but the chicken tenders were pretty tough. Cook them a little less and they would be amazing.
I ordered the glutenfree pizza, it was delicious wouldn't know it was a glutenfree base, my husband had a normal pizza he said it delicious too, freindly staff and a nice atmosphere, very busy so would recommend booking
Visited during lunch and wanted the pizza since it’s gluten free but felt it was too pricey. Decided to try a salad. The champagne vinaigrette dressing was a huge hit. I wish they sold it. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. I would return.
I recently visited the Green Valley Grill for a family celebration. It could not have been more delightful. Five of us were had main courses and desserts, plus a couple of drinks and tips for around $200.
Personally, I had the Turkish Chili Braised Short Rib, which was phenomenal. Other members of my party had the parmesan chicken, the rotisserie chicken, the chef's choice duck, and the pork schnitzle, which was a huge portion. The desserts were also great
One thing to note, a member of our party had a severe gluten allergy. She was able to find items that she could eat, and very much enjoyed the cauliflower flatbread. The server was knowledgeable about the gluten allergy and thoughtful in his advice.
I would definitely return the next time in the area.

Five people's thoughts are included in this evaluation! We made the right decision when we dropped by to lunch on the way from Washington, DC, to Atlanta! Oh my goodness, the burgers that we all ordered looked fantastic. Because I have a gluten sensitivity, I went with the gluten-free bun, and it was the softest gluten-free burger bun I've ever had. Despite the crowds (which we can understand because it's so delicious), the service was prompt, and the staff was really kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed this place!
NO LONGER ALLERGEN FRIENDLY
When I started eating here in 2019 I was *thrilled* to find a celiac+allergen friendly place serving gut-healthy, in-house made stocks and gluten free grain based bowls. Alas, a corporate entity saw their success, and ever since this place was bought out, it's been on a steady decline in food safety and quality. My breaking point is the removal of the GF Mac n Cheese, and continued addition of gluten-containing options to the menu. There is *very little* care given to cross contamination and no one knows what celiac disease is and they're just kinda tired of hearing the complaints about the GF Mac n cheese at this point.
Greensboro is a wasteland for celiacs, ya'll, and I'm just going to stick with Ilobesca.
I am so excited they had gluten-free bread so you can do any sandwich and gluten-free. The salad bar was really good. Overall experience is awesome. Definitely recommend if you have a dietary problem or issue.
This spot was a cute spot to try. It was definitely busy when we went but as much as I wanted to love the place, at the end of the day it was just ok. I had the Rosemary Ham skillet, cheese grits and Gluten free French toast.
I will say the French toast was delicious. I would definitely recommend that. It’s not often gluten free French toast is an option and the bread they chose was very good.
The cheese grits were on the salty side and the skillet was good but I guess I was expecting more flavor and it just fell a little flat.
The service was excellent and it was a cute spot.
Birthday Celebration 🥳 Bang-Bang Shrimp was Delicious! The Chicken Marcellus was very delicious (king)
Honey glazed salmon... Great!
The gluten-free brownie 😋 Awesome!! We will be back!!!
Since opening up shop in Winston-Salem forty years ago, Village Tavern has expanded to include eight locations. Perhaps because of its longevity, the impression I got of it was of a dated brunch/lunch spot patronized by well-to-do seniors, and so it never claimed a high spot on my to-try list. After paying the Greensboro location a visit, however, that perception has somewhat changed.
Village Tavern occupies a large building with plenty of seating, and though they keep busy, they seem set up to accommodate the volume. My wife and I showed up for lunch on a Monday and had no wait for a table in the bar area, which was nicely appointed. Think classy without feeling stuffy.
Just as the restaurant is sizeable, so too goes the menu. Apps, soups, sandwiches, salads, entrees, tacos, burgers, and pizzas are all offered here. There are gluten-free and vegetarian options, and you’d be hard-pressed to find something not to your liking. We ended up going with fish and chips and shrimp and grits. The food arrived quickly, and our server was polite and responsive throughout the meal.
Shrimp and grits is one of my go-to dishes, and no two places do it the same way. Village Tavern’s version uses white grits and bacon rather than tasso ham. Purists may quibble, but I found it excellent. The grits were creamy without being too heavily cheesy, the bacon added a hint of smokiness, they didn’t skimp on the shrimp, and the mushrooms were a nice touch. The fish and chips boasted crisp and generously battered cod. It wasn’t on par with what you’d find in a seafood bar, but it did not disappoint. The sauteed spinach – substituted in for coleslaw – was tasty as well though the fries were only so-so.
While I was wrong about Village Tavern’s décor (more appealing than I thought) and clientele (more diverse), I was right about its price point. Both entrees ran north of twenty. While the fish and chips offered a good amount of food for the money, the shrimp and grits felt like a dinner price for a lunch portion.
All told, Village Tavern is a solid jack-of-all-trades restaurant. It offers a little bit of everything and seems to execute well enough. It’s more likely to leave you satisfied than impressed, but the service and atmosphere make it worth your while.
The local benchmark for good burgers! They also have a stellar selection of options including veggie and gluten free! 100% recommend, though they tend to get crowded, still a fantastic burger!
Mostly good experience!
Made a 7:45pm reservation and was sat immediately in a booth. The AC was super cold, and we were greeted by 2 waitstaff within moments.
The restaurant was very accommodating and knowledgeable about gluten containing dishes and was able to provide almost every dish with substitutions.
We ordered the following: a sazerac, glass of Pinot Grigio,a Summer of 89 cocktail, crab dip starter, roast chicken entree, and catfish entree. Things were delicious and service came at a good frequency.
A few cons from the night:
My glass of water came with a few black specks, but I just picked them out. Both cocktails were below quality (one very watery and one ultra sweet). The catfish entree came with grits and there was a 2 inch long hair in the middle of it. I decided to pick it out and ignore it.
I probably won’t come back here, but would try another one of their restaurants.
Got the Tex Rexy pork and rice bowl, with a side of beans and it's all gluten-free!! Outside seating is preferred.
Cool place, funky vibe and colorful wall artwork by local artists.
Kelly was the best server we've ever had. So personable and fun! Also- the gluten free pancakes have brought so much joy to my life and have filled a major void. Can't recommend enough!

The chill atmosphere was perfect, and the service was top-notch. What made this place truly special was their commitment to gluten-free options. Knowing the owners' spouse has a gluten allergy made the gluten-free buns for the sandwiches feel extra thoughtful. A real gem!"
This place is nice and welcoming- the employees are very friendly. I ordered cheese pizza for my kids- they will make it the way you want. I asked them to make my pizza separate so it doesn’t come in contact with any meat- they did a great job.
Highly recommended and i will definitely be trying a different pizza next time.
They also have gluten free dough.
They just need little more cleaning inside and out.
I ordered the NY Strip (rare because I anticipated it would be overcooked) and my friend ordered the penne pasta. Her serving was enough for 2 large meals. My steak was served warm pink center so it was medium, not medium rare (my hope) or rare (as ordered). I think the issue is that too many people don't know what the correct temperature is for the various levels of doneness and too many times the orders got sent back to the kitchen for additional cooking, so the cooks are conditioned to overcook the food rather than deal with plates returned. It's a common problem within this price range.
My steak quality and texture was really good, tender for a strip steak, and there was no meat glue used, just a single cut as it should be. They did a fabulous job of accommodating gluten-free needs.
Our server was kind, attentive enough, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was really nice. You can hear one another in conversation without having to raise your voice or leave hoarse from trying to talk over the din like a lot of places nowadays.
I'd give them 4.5 stars but not 5, but Google only uses split stars for averages not for ratings.
We were pleasantly surprised at the excellent service and quality of food last night. The women taking our order was so friendly and efficient in making sure the order was correct. Our gluten free lettuce wraps were the best ever with a good amount of lettuce holding the hamburger in. And our fries were plentiful and cooked to perfection. We were so grateful we called after to appreciate as it was a take out.
I did an online pick up order. The server who packed my order realized that I had ordered fries which are not gluten free. She brought me a side that would work and explained why. I really appreciate her.
Me and my mother wanted to try an Indian restaurant close to where we were, and Shukkranaa's nailed it! The food was delightful and flavorful, if a bit spicy. We ordered the Aloo Tikki Chat for an appetizer, my mother ordered the Channa Masala(mild) under the Classics section, and I got the Chicken Korma(medium). Mom's dish was a bit spicier than expected, and it definitely was noticeable right off the bat. Mine was a more subtle heat that stuck on the tongue and throat. Delicious food overall! And the service was great! When we asked if the Korma was gluten free, the waiter made sure to double check with the kitchen!
Love the Tacu bowl. Family meal is a good value. Service is great. As a person who is gluten free I do wish they offered a gluten free plantains option.
Thank you so much to the owner! My daughter and I have celiac/gluten allergy and he was and to make us each a safe gf pizza! It was delicious and we really appreciate that he took such good care. Thanks again!
Angel took care of us two days in a row and was great. I have food allergies (gluten and dairy) and she was very careful. The manager also came out and clarified how to keep me safe. The food was great both times. Great lunch spot if you’re at Koury for a meeting - it’s close and the service is fast.
Found this place through a quick search and I’m very happy I made my way over for a quick lunch. I had the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free bread and the gluten free couscous. I had originally ordered fries but changed my mind. I took a quick scan for my server but didn’t see him so I figured fries it would be. Unknowingly, another server saw my quick glance around and approached and ask if she could assist. Excellent service and excellent food! Highly recommend
One of my favorite places in Greensboro. Organic, fair trade teas and related products. They carry a lot of local skincare, candles, and other goods too. They’re conscientious about marking potential allergens, and they have lots of options for vegan and gluten-free patrons. Very calm and pretty atmosphere. Woman-owned and operated!
I will warn you, it is a bit loud in here, as every time we go it is Packed. I mean it! And the popularity is very much deserved. The food we got was delicious, the service was excellent, and we definitely like that they offer an entire allergen free menu, since my mom has celiac.
Haven’t eaten here since a random lunch in summer 2022…it was decent, but I wasn’t wowed enough to go back. Had dinner there tonight and everything was outstanding, including the mock-tails! Many gluten free options clearly listed on the menu, and the service was wonderful.
Food was absolutely amazing! The service was quick and all the servers were so friendly. The owner was so nice. They have lots of gluten free and vegetarian options and adaptations. This is my new favorite restaurant!
My friends and I stopped here passing through. The pizza was outstanding! It’s hard to find gluten free pizza that’s also extremely well made. The hospitality was also amazing. Rosa was so kind and welcoming. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. If ever passing through again, I’ll be sure to stop!
Gluten Free peeps!!! Their GF free burger buns were the best we’ve had! They have GF sourdough for the panini’s. They use a baker in Greensboro and it’s just phenomenal. We got the nachos and was worried they weren’t really GF because they were SOOOO GOOD lol, but no reaction at all. Will definitely be back, one of our new favorite places!
