Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Open Late to Enjoy in Arlington

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Serve Rise gf biscuits

The best gluten free pizza i have ever tasted 😋

Ralph Johnson

Gabi was wonderful. Great service and cared about my celiac disease and dairy free .

Sarah Peters

Great GF pizza, a little bit thicker crust than you normally get. I think the sandwich bread is Udis and they do toast it which is good!

Eliza Priluzki

We love sushi and chose this place based on the reviews we read. Initially, we sat inside, but we requested to move outside because it was too loud. Although it was a bit dark and hot, we still enjoyed our meal. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service was excellent; they accommodated all the changes we requested for our meals. It's also worth mentioning that they have a lot of gluten-free options, which is very important for us.

Bennett Weitz

Great pizza, fast preparation. Would certainly recommend to people looking for gluten-free options.

I found Istanbul Grill on Find Me Gluten Free, as I have celiac disease and am very sensitive to gluten, wheat, etc. I am so glad I found this place! The menu was marked clearly for gluten free and they had countless options for those with dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, etc.) Now, to the best part: the FOOD! We had hummus (with GF bread), the lamb adona kebab, doner kabob, Turkish tea and coffee - it was all fabulous. For the amount of food you got, my partner and I also thought the prices were reasonable. I didn’t come close to finishing my plate, which is sad because it was so delicious. The service was nice and the restaurant was very clean. I will be back here time and time again.

Renuka C

Terrific food and great service! A go-to for lunch get togethers. LOVE the lunch specials and food is spiced just right. Lots of gluten free options that are clearly marked. DELICIOUS and reasonably priced. Nice ambiance too. Best Thai food around.

Nonya Bisnus

I enjoyed getting takeout from here as someone with celiac since they offer the gluten free injera..however, once they served me the non gf injera :(

Claire

Iykyk. And if you don’t, read this: colony grill is a sports bar that serves pizza and beer and pretty much nothing else, because what else do you really need anyway? It’s a chain that expanded out of CT and that’s just how it be. The pizza is thin crust “bar pie” style, i.e., you eat it sitting at the bar with a slice in one hand and a beer in the other - it’s light, chewy and foldable, but not floppy NY-style. Ask for the pie well done if you want it crunchy for dine-in, or half baked if you’re taking it home so you can finish it in your own oven. Do get hot oil on your pie. Don’t get too many other toppings; crust is thin and this is not meant to be a loaded/supreme situation. Plus thats how you’d make your meal expensive real quick. Service at this location is friendly and attentive. Vegan and gluten free options available.

10 out of 10 as usual! From mass and we eat here whenever we are in the area and we are never disappointed! The gluten free options are great and they work with you to ensure your food safety. The manager Ricci was so incredibly amazing! So personable and made us feel right at home as soon as we sat down. Chija was also very personable and helped us in finding the perfect gluten free dish for my mom who has celiacs. If you haven’t dined here then you don’t know what you’re missing! We can’t wait to come back!

Tony Munoz

Usually go for brunch but tried the unlimited dinner for first time in years. Everything is still super tasty, comes out so quick that we all are too fast and got full in the first hour haha. Anna was super nice and attentive. Made sure to check for our one person the gluten free items. Even gave us a special birthday treat for the group. 10/10 would go again. Paid street parking, bathroom downstairs, upstairs has real plants hanging from the ceilings, always cute.

Hans Liu

This place has hands down some of the best pizza I've had. The gluten free pizza is amazing too-- the crust is buttery and crispy. But the toppings and cheese are the best part-- if you order steak on your pizza they load it up with meat that is super high quality. The homemade pizza sauce, delicious pull-apart cheese, and perfectly baked crust are top notch. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. The service is also very friendly. I would highly recommend Lost Dog Cafe to anyone looking to get a bite to eat in the area.

Elizabeth Jane Addington

Cannot speak more highly of Mejana. Ordered from them for my office’s staff lunch and there were options for everyone: vegetarian, gluten free, and meat. Prices are reasonable and portions are large. Staff is incredibly kind. Ordered from Grubhub for delivery, delivery was never confirmed by the 3rd party service, called the restaurant and they immediately said, “no worries, we will get to cooking and wait for the order to come in and call you when the order comes through and if a driver was assigned.” Mind you, this was Grubhub’s fault, not the restaurant! The hostess asked me to text them my order and texted me when it was ready since Grubhub wasn’t communicating with me. You can’t beat this kind of customer service. Love supporting this local, small-biz!

Rochelle Williams

Absolutely delicious and many gluten free options (all 3 of the BBQ sauces are GF). I had the meat sampler with sides of collard greens and Mexican street corn plus deviled eggs as a starter - everything was amazing!

Lisa Noe

HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. We stopped during a middle school trip with World Strides at the end of our 3rd day (group of 50+ people). This was our best meal of the trip! We were exhausted and hungry. We walked in to pizza on the table ready for us and they brought out hot food trays as well- meat balls, Mac & cheese, huge salads, meat balls and pasta salad. Soda, lemonade and plenty of cold WATER to drink! Food was great and staff friendly. 2 in the party are celiac— they made them a pizza after arrival in a dedicated gluten free oven. They scarfed it down! Staff was also super friendly. Plenty of seating. We all dragged in but left happy and full. The outside area at the shops was fun for the teens to play and be kids again in the wobbly chairs. Check this place out for dinner and large groups as well! We were well accommodated.

A Top 5-Star Brunch Experience at Sabores! A group of us organized a birthday brunch for a friend at Sabores, and it was an amazing experience! With a large party of 20, the Sabores team made it all feel effortless, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration. As someone with celiac disease, dining out can be challenging, but Alex, Carlos, and Ernesto went out of their way to make sure I felt safe and included. They personally prepared a special dish for me—a perfectly cooked steak with a fresh salad—taking every precaution to prevent cross-contamination. They even brought my plate out separately, showing incredible attention to detail. Beyond that, my friends couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was. Everything was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and served with great attention. The staff was attentive, kind, and efficient, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the celebration even more special. Sabores offers gluten-free options on their menu, and they are very careful if you let them know about any allergies or dietary restrictions to ensure no cross-contamination. If you’re looking for a place with great food, excellent service, and a fun, inviting vibe, Sabores is definitely worth a visit! Highly recommended!

Food was great and they have Gluten free options. The staff was a big help and the drinks were cold.

Update: April 2024 Ordered burgers on Saturday noon. Burgers were dry with very little sauce on it. Bun was not toasted. We were disappointed. It seems they cannot maintain the quality in busy noon time. Update: April 2024 We went here again on Saturday. Customization order was followed. Burgers were delicious. I changed the review to 5 stars. Original: We received the wrong order today, but the staff member was kind and quickly remade a burger for us. I had ordered a burger with a gluten-free bun, plus added tomato and pickles. Later, we noticed the tomato and pickles were missing. Since the gluten-free bun looks very similar to the regular bun, we began to suspect that we might’ve received the wrong bun as well. It seems likely that the customizations were completely overlooked. If you have dietary restrictions like gluten intolerance, I recommend adding multiple customizations. That way, it’s easier to tell whether the kitchen followed your request and helps verify the order more clearly.

My favorite sushi in Arlington! And they have gluten free soy sauce for delivery. Fresh, good portions, always a treat. Thank you!

Madison Manuel

Love this restaurant!!! Excellent food and margaritas. Sit on the rooftop! Bryan was such an amazing server with a lively energy!! I have a gluten allergy and he checked everything with the kitchen staff, even when the food was put down and made me feel assured that it was safe to eat. Such a great atmosphere and cannot wait to come back for brunch!

Trina Kincey

Delicious, juicy burgers our whole family enjoyed! We were especially happy they offered a gluten free bun for my daughter who needs GF options. Definitely recommend!

Ok G

Since I tried the gluten free pizza, I have been addicted and it became my go to on the weekend. I wish they had a bigger size for the family since the small one is kind of pricey and will not be sufficient for a family of three.

Harmony Hutman

Very nice place, with a great Art Deco dinner vibe. There were options for gluten sensitive, and the dessert was amazing!

Logan Witham

The food was so delicious!! They had Gluten free options and they were able to accommodate me. They have so many options for people!! Just a great place to eat!

Irene Walshe

A nice american restaurant with a good selection of burgers, sandwiches, fish, salads, flat breads, chicken wings, steak, etc. Good wine list and beers. They have a Gluten Sensitive menu. Good service and reasonable prices.

Irene Walshe

Good american restaurant with something for everyone to eat, from burgers, sandwiches, beef, pasta, salads to more fancy dishes. I love the chinese chopped salad, but always ask for more dressing. Do not forget to try their famous cheesecakes. My choice is the Gluten free chocolate mousse Godiva cheesecake. I love coming here when I have a group that have not made up their mind on what to eat. The menu is extensive. The bread basket is nice, but unfortunately they don't have Gluten free bread. Nice atmosphere.

Carol Roos

One of my favorite go to spots, most of their dishes are tasty, you can’t go wrong. They have gluten free options, just make sure you tell them. The service is friendly and fast. I typically get the chicken or shrimp pad Thai which are solid choices. The shrimps are large and fresh. I’ve also eaten the green and Penang curry as well as their drunken noodle and pineapple fried rice. I order take out more but the handful of times I’ve gone in the restaurant it has been clean and fast service.

Zac Conn

My girlfriend and I were visiting DC for a wedding and we tried this place twice now and both times we were extremely blown away by just how awesome this place is. The staff is super friendly, the coffee and food is really good and what’s even better is they had gluten free options for my girlfriend. I had their breakfast sandwich and their honey dipped glazed doughnut which was SO GOOD. I’m really jealous we don’t have places like this in Florida where we live. I highly recommend this place if you want good coffee or pastries!

Rachel Howden

First time here and I loved it! Serving size was awesome and probably one of the best food to price ratios in the area! Authentic and flavorful. Great gluten free options.

Jessica Martin

Definitely a hidden gem of a place, with a great atmosphere for sitting and chilling with friends. Servers are kind and attentive-you can tell they love working there. The food is good too, especially the fish & chips, onion rings and sausage rolls. My friend said the house beer was good too, and the Irish coffee was wonderful! There are definitely options for natural gluten-free foods, like burgers without buns and salads and nachos, but nothing is noted as GF on the menu. I’m sure the servers would be happy to answer questions though if you ask though. Definitely plan to be back!

John Sweetnam

This place is amazing. Couldn't believe the quality of their gluten free pizza. No sign of cross contamination and tasted amazing. Lovely ambience and rapid service. Go here and keep them in business or I'll kick you in the shin really really hard.

Just LOVE this place. Authentic latin American cuisine on the Pike. It's GREAT that my husband with Celiac Disease has been able to eat here without issue, since a lot of the dishes are naturally gluten free. I was able to find vegetarian options for myself. We especially love the pupusas and tamales. Soooo yummy!

Diana Howerton

Great experience, loved the gluten free pasta. Super chill vibe, good staff

Great place for cocktails and a tasty bite to eat. Lots of veggie choices. The “gyro” was somehow really nicely balanced and tasted healthier and fresh. Gold digger and passion fin off the cocktail menus. Went for lunch and bummed that the small plates weren’t available until dinner bc really wanted the beet gluten free pasta. Gallery of mostly pop art. Fun space fun drinks. Inside ballston mall above true foods.

Tamara Molina

Excellent, authentic Mexican food. They started as a food truck before becoming a real restaurant. Let me say again- DELICIOUS food. They were also able to accommodate my husband's Celiac Disease without issue. We've eaten here many times and he always gets the tacos (made from corn tortillas instead of flour) and hasn't had any issues. Just be sure to tell them you need gluten free, since a few of the meats DO contain gluten, and they can tell you which ones to avoid.

Jared Ferris

Great drinks and food! Gluten free options too.
