Jennifer Bean

One of my favorite places in Va Beach. Great gluten free menu and they gluten free fryer!

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.

Loved the food here! We ordered the Green Goddess toast and a smoothie bowl, and both tasted great. I’m gluten-sensitive, so it was refreshing to have so many options to chose from. I highly recommend!

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. **If you see a Google review posted with just stars & no text, report it via the 3 dot selection adjacent to the review. If the text in the review doesn't describe the food/service report it. This cleans up Google reviews and removes the slugs just trying to get reviewer points by marking a star or "paid" reviewers. Process: Select - Report review. 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.

Great diner, excellent service, amazing menu and good portions. Living in VB I prefer it outside of the tourist season but if you get there early enough (before 9) you can get seated. Any omelette can be served in a wrap and they serve a superb breakfast gyro wrap if you like tzatziki and feta! Wide ranging menu for all and great gluten free pancakes, buns or waffles. We go about 10-12 times a year and have yet to be disappointed.

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!

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.

Overall 10/10 every time we’ve gone! Best gluten free crust I’ve had

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.

Tammy Treichel

Slways a great experience. They have gluten free and vegan options.

Robo W

Nice place to eat with kids! Ask for the gluten-free menu, if needed.

Lisa Caskey

The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and took their time to explain which foods were gluten free.

Christine Jones

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.

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!

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.

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!!!!!!

Nanette Sarper

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

Kelly D

Visiting VB, and I tried a few places that offered vegan and gluten-free food. This place was by far the best. The gluten-free vegan waffles with berries were amazing. The hint of lavender and coconut whipped cream took it up a notch. I also got a wrap which was also very tasty. And blueberry Lemonade was a little too tart for my liking but it was refreshing. Highly recommend this place.

Last night in VA Beach and we had a fantastic dinner at Becca with Shy as our fabulous server. Amazing accommodations for gluten free (bread with honey butter!). Cocktails were creative and delicious!

Lisa Repinski

Excellent experience from beginning to end! Christina was out server and was not only helpful but kind! Highly recommend gluten free options!

I want to start off by saying that the restaurant is beautiful. It overlooks the ocean and it is a very nice set up. The problem lies in the fact that we have celiac disease, and we’re told by the staff, waiter and even the chef that came out to speak to us at our request, that are food would be gluten-free and safe for celiacs. Once food started coming out, problems began. We were told that our appetizer was gluten-free initially, but once delivered we were told it was not. When we asked to get some clarification from the kitchen, he came back (holding bread over it for another table) and said that it was gluten-free (Very confusing). We ate it trusting him, but looking back, probably should’ve just not had that appetizer. When our meals came out, we ordered a cauliflower gluten-free crust that the chef had promised was going to take extra care and put it on a separate tray in the oven, to be extra safe. Not only did it take 45 minutes to an hour for the food to come out, but our Pizza was a normal crust, not the gluten-free cauliflower crust that he had promised us. There again, I felt very skeptical at our food choices, and the service that evening in the kitchen. Speaking about wait time, It was absolutely ridiculous. We had three children with us one a toddler and never expected to wait over 45 minutes for our main dishes to come out. We normally expect a longer way time due to the gluten-free aspect of our dining, but this was 45 minutes of silence from the server. Never coming around to check us, bringing us water, forgetting to bring my husbands drink for about 20 minutes or even bringing us plates to eat off of. I do feel that he was rushing around, and I felt bad for the wait staff because it seemed under staffed. Despite his effort, it was just a disappointing experience. To top it completely off, my husband and I have been sick all night and well into the morning. Not fun and despite the positive, I would never recommend this place to anyone with an allergy ever. Not worth the risk.

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!

Abby Bain

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.

Jason Ford

What kind of sandwich shop will not let you customize your sandwich. I just wanted to hold the mayonnaise and tomato but the extremely poorly designed website has deemed their sandwiches are perfect as they are and will not let yo make any changes. On top of that there fry’s are not gluten free regardless of what they say and now I am in intense intestinal pain.

Mark Soccio

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!

Susan Z

They offer gluten free pizza which is nice, but they are small and are very sparing with the toppings. Conveniently close to the beach, but if you can drive a bit, I'd go somewhere else for a better value.

James Firkins

Murat was our server and was amazing. He knew the menue and especially the gluten friendly options

Breanna Garcia

Off gluten free soy sauce option and a very knowledgeable staff

Danielle Zornes

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!

Hazel Pete

Julie Cloninger

Good food (burger and salmon)and a lot of gluten-free options. Service was fast and paid attention to details. Fun atmosphere

Elaina Miles

Amazing food and good pricing. Great team! Ben took very good care of me...GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS GALORE! They don't advertise it, and you wouldn't expect it at a pub, but I was very pleasantly surprised that they have a GF alternative for almost everything bread! Muffins, buns, etc.

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

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.
