Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Virginia for Night Owls

Jennifer Bean

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

Maria Bliznetsova

One of my absolute favourite to go places for breakfast/lunch! I tried almost everything on the menu and quality of food is excellent! Everyone can find something, they have vegan and gluten free options too. But for me, Huevos Rancheros, Summer Cod, Cobb Salad and peach pie are top choices! New location in Arlington also has a big garage parking and easy access as well.

Ynot pizza has our go-to place for years. They take great care in preparing Gluten Free food. We feel safe with their food handling practices.

Danyale Kellogg

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about celiac disease. We enjoyed the food and had lots of great leftovers.

Elaine Gawronska

Had to wait a few minutes to get seated as they were busy. Obviously popular so that's good. Lots of gluten free and vegan options which were clearly marked on the menu and much appreciated. The food was delicious and the staff helpful and friendly.

As always, my gluten free vegan pizza was fantastic!!

stella evans

Their gluten free chicken was excellent. The service was outstanding. John Paul went above and beyond to take care of us. We will definitely be back.

Came here on Valentine’s Day. My server Lexi made sure my meals would be shellfish and gluten free. Also love how many gluten free options there are too. I had the devils pass dip which was so flavorful and had the cheeseburger which was good too. Also tried the chocolate decadence which is gluten free too, very rich chocolate flavor

It was my first time visiting cheesetique. I just moved to the neighborhood so I wanted to check it out. For reference this Restaurant has gluten free options but they forgot and served me gluten free bread! I have an autoimmune disease that is sensitive to gluten so hence why I am gluten free. My husband and I ordered gluten free appetizers and he got the pasta. Then my sandwich came and I didnt know if it was GF. The bread looked gf but it tasted different than gf. I began to eat it when the waitress came by 10 mins later to check on us I asked her to confirm if it was GF and she looked at me saying whoops, "no, so sorry." I trusted her given our long convo about gluten free about all our other items. I don't know if she forgot or the chef and kitchen didnt read the notes but we were clear I was GF. The manager came by apologized told us he took off my sandwich but we shared with him if it was more severe someone could have died or gotten more sick... which can be a lawsuit. I told him he should have comped us for the entire meal. It was unacceptable. He then promptly said dont worry about paying. We left a tip for our waitress still but we are very disappointed about our experience and the mistake. This experience occurred on Aug 2nd and 7pm. We left the restaurant with our food items to go at around 8:30pm.

Michelle Marcet

BEST options for gluten free and dairy free. Sam the sever was very respectful of my allergies and it was truly appreciated.

Richard Durkin

High ceilings and Southwest decor make Sweetwater Tavern a compelling restaurant. Great sandwiches and sides served by an attentive team of wait staff. They have their own beer on tap. The owners understand the needs of customers who have Celiac disease and offer gluten-free menu without being asked. Worth experiencing!

sharon wolfe

Had a fish meal with pomegranate and Quinoa on the Gluten free menu and it was amazing!

Melinda v

I love the food here. It is so flavorful and the portions are nice sized. They are as kids friendly as they can be with the older adult atmosphere. I recommend the burgers. The wine selection is fantastic! They have a great gluten feee menu.

Nathaniel Lucas

Best Thai around without a doubt. Always great food and service. If you have any allergies they are very good with adapting the dishes to accommodate. Wife is gluten free and they always get it right. Will continue to come back. Recommend: Pad Thai Gai, LEMONGRASS SOUP-incredible especially when sick.

Elenwin L

They have Gluten Free fried chicken and also GF Fish & Chips. What more can I say? Yum!

I am a practicing gastroenterology physician in Richmond. I took my family to this restaurant, explained to the server three times that I have a gluten allergy and placed an order for a gluten free pizza The server appears to have acknowledged and recognized this and reported that she has family members who have a gluten allergy as well. Despite this, she incorrectly placed the order for a pizza for me with a gluten containing crust. Only after I had consumed as substantial amount of this item, did she then return and informed my family members that this was a gluten containing pizza. I asked to speak with the manager. While waiting to speak with the manager, another patron at the restaurant who had overheard the discussion reported to me that a similar situation had happened with him. I explained this to the manager who was completely unfazed. After a brief back-and-forth discussion with the manager, I noted to her that the servers attention to detail was negligent. I asked to speak with the owner. I received no call from the owner. I’m giving this place one out of five stars mainly on the basis of what appears to have been an inadequate response to a negligent server

Ariane Volk

Delicious Thai street food & all the classics. Also high end cocktails. Highly recommend! Excellent gluten free options, as well as vegetarian options, and clearly marked.

Lora Davis

Several gluten free options. Delicious

Sheena Ethington

Our waiter Garrett was absolutely fabulous ! Provided professional outstanding service. He was personable, funny and made my birthday dinner with family extra special. Felt like we made a new friend. Tyrek the kitchen manager was also very pleasant to chat with. The food was delicious and so enjoyable ! With great prices. Also appreciated the gluten free options. This is definitely one of our favorite places ! Thank you for helping us make a sweet birthday memory

Dan Shevock

Great gluten free options.

Steve R

Gluten free pizza was great. Price is on the high side.

shaun s

Always consistent and have great gluten free options!!

Martha Depumarejo

Visiting from NYC. A great vegetarian/vegan/gluten free option place. It’s a Black owned business that promotes books and creative arts. We started off with Brussel sprouts with Balsamic vinaigrette. It was hot and had a good taste. The latte (not pictured) was very flavorful. Gluten free pancakes had a buttermilk flavor to them but a little stiff. I had the Sweet Potato hash and it was ok, a little stiff bland for me. I would recommend this place and come back on my visit.

Karen Jackson

Celiac friendly

Laura Marsh

Surprisingly good food. Thought it was a chain with typical type good but everything was fresh and flavorful. Lots of gluten free options - onion roll for the burger for example! Yummy.

Don Houpt

Love us some Bartaco! Wonderful attentive staff, great drinks, and great food. Had their roasted duck and sesame ribeye taco's for lunch. Loved it so much I went back for dinner; got chicken tortilla soup, and the pork belly and roasted duck tacos. Best damn taco's outside of Texas... Oh, and the reposado margarita's are frickin' awesome. Yes, they have strict gluten-free options as well, one of our guests has celiac disease so that is a big concern.

I am a regular Korean BBQ eater. Maybe it's not entirely fair to compare Japanese BBQ to Korean, I know different countries entirely, however, being in Northern Virginia it is hard not to compare a similar concept to KBBQ. The atmosphere is great, the meat was delicious, the sides lacked any flavor because they were just regular veggies (corn, not cheese corn, zucchini and cremini mushrooms), it came with a salad and miso that were flavorful. We ordered the value meal for 2 people with one cocktail $14 and a diet coke the total was $106, after tipping 22% I spent $130.. The meat was perfectly marinated and the quality was high, however the portions were insanely SMALL. I left hungry and wishing I went to Kbbq instead but it was an experience. I also noticed all the marinades and sauces were sweet- the sauces on the table were Ponzu, Sweet Soy Sauce and a Spicy Sauce that was also sweet, I found myself wishing for a more savory sauce to balance out all the sweetness. Our server was super friendly and attentive. For example I had taken the lemon from my gfs cocktail and put it in my diet coke, our server noticed and without me saying anything brought me a refill diet coke with a lemon (this didn't go unnoticed!). I personally don't see myself coming back but glad I gave it a try. Oh and I will add that everything we ordered was gluten and dairy free naturally so that was a huge plus.

Wesley Daunis

Overall okay. The food was just average. We had a Ruben, a Chicken Caprese sandwich, and salmon dinner. I will say o was disappointed that the gluten free rolls you get for a substitution are the exact same.rolls they put a gluten free chicken sandwich on. I guess I was expectingn2 different things. I will say the service was great though and the prices were reasonable.

Caribooty

Excellent food and service. I wish I lived closer. The ambiance was delightful. The food was superb. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. We had the soprano pizza, bruschetta, chicken chipotle wrap(but spicier than anticipated) and the gluten free Alfredo chicken. Highly recommend all dishes. The portions were huge.

Alyson Cochrane

A friend and I were on a girl's trip to the area, and we are so glad we went to Mill Street Grill. Hannah was our server, and she was SO delightful. I have to eat gluten free, and she was able to make recommendations to help my meal be delicious but also safe for me. My friend got the prime rib, and she said it was tied for the best prime rib she's ever had. This is a place to keep on the list to visit!

Shelby Highsmith

Very good fried chicken & waffle breakfast, flavorful even though it's two thin breast cutlets rather than thigh meat, and the gravy & more savory zesty syrup were also very tasty! Mixed review from the kid on the gluten free coconut quinoa pancakes. They were out of black tea, disappointing. Even though we were the sixth party of two in line, they got us seated fast.

Jena Van

The tacos were delicious and the service was good. The menu had clear gluten free options and a lot of them too. The tacos are more expensive than average, around $5 each, but worth it because of how tasty they are. I would recommend this place.

Kate

Great alternative brunch spot! Excellent GF waffles (both sweet and savory), but GF protein choices are limited. This spot consistently makes a kick ass cup of coffee.

Michael Meier

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.

Chelle Lynn

We love Capitol Ale House! Kylie was fabulous. The club is my absolute favorite but I've tried many menu items with no complaints. I had to take off a star because of my recent visit. I have a gluten allergy friend who loves Capitol Ale because of the gluten free options. She ALWAYS looks forward to the fries. They had a dedicated air fryer. This was a huge bonus for anyone with a gluten allergy. This has changed sometime recently and unfortunately is longer an option. Bring back the gluten free fry option.

Linde Chappelear

Went for a late lunch after visiting the Childrens Museum. The burgers were phenomenal, very tasty beef and homemade gluten free buns. Duck fat fries were an extra special treat. Topped it all off with milkshakes.

Briana Hogan

Absolutely delicious! The truffle parmesan fries were THE BEST fries I've ever had! Also, it was wonderful to have gluten-free options. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Highly, highly recommend!

Angela Ferrell

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.

Mary Giangregorio

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!

Gustavo Pohl

This is a great restaurant!!! Wonderful staff, but pretty expensive! The atmosphere is vibrant and relaxing. The Bay Benditict is cheesy, creamy, and savory! The Kids French Toast is buttery and chewy, sweet and sugary; and the Kids Slider is hearty, inviting, and crumbly. The Grilled Salmon was comforting, moist, and flavorful, while Hickory Smokehouse Chedder Burger was filling, colorful, and finger-licking. The steak was delightful and savory, and the Hamburger was flavorsome and bright! The Gluten Free Quinoa Coconut Pancakes was fragrant, mouth-watering, and fruity. The Bread Pudding was velvety and luxurious; and the Apple Pie was crunchy with rich, creamy ice cream. The brownie was delectable and smooth on the outside and crispy on the inside. I recommend the Bread Pudding, the French Toast, and the Bay Benditict!Overall, we will be visiting again!

Kate Alvarez Anderson

My friend with celiac was absolutely giddy over the wide range of options for her and the care taken to ensure she did not accidentally ingest any gluten. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was delish. It'll be our go-to when she's in town.

Tod Ramey

The mellow mushroom never disappoints with their wide variety of gourmet pizza options! On this particular occasion we had taken my grandson there as a celebration after his pinewood Derby event. He is gluten and dairy-free. Very few places offer options for him. We really appreciate their eclectic and caring choices in their ingredients.

Faith Taylor

My friend's and I eat at The Cellar frequently, because for the most part we know that the Food will be good. It is also one of the few places that my friend can eat because she has corn and gluten allergies. I have beef and pork allergies, so I appreciate having a lot of options on the menu. The service can be slow at times, but the servers are always kind. So I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

hunter hicks

Great gluten free options.

Ashley H.

The best gluten free chicken sandwich I’ve had. A little serving of fries but overall so DELICIOUS

Lav Rand

I loved the atmosphere and it was honestly the absolute best gluten-free pizza I have ever had! It is a little pricey but so worth it!

jamie sutcliffe

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.

Kelly Morden

Always perfect. Great gluten free menu. Excellent service. Amazing food and impeccable wine pairings.

Christian

The food was good. However, the gluten-free bun was awful. Worst bun possible. Fell apart like wet paper. Please go back to your other gluten-free bun.

Tyra Drouillard

The food is always delicious and the service is great! I love that they have so many gluten free options!
