Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore 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!!

Elyssa

Favorite lunch spot for bbq. Great gluten free menu and service has always been good.

Hagar Sivan

The food was very tasty. However, I have celiac and despite ordering a gluten free dish and informing the waiter of my allergy, I got sick and believe my food had some cross contamination.

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

Dave M

I had dinner at True Food and it was excellent. Lots of menu variety for gluten free and vegan individuals. Our meatloaf (non gluten free) and burger were tasty, prepared exactly the way we requested. The service and ambience was outstanding. When you go, ask for Fernanda to be your waitress. She’s very customer oriented and kind. Emerson the Manager brought out our food and was very professional and helpful. True Food is a great place to eat!

Serve Rise gf biscuits

Ralph Johnson

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

Kash Arora

I got the lamb hash but gluten free and it was so warm and comforting. Amazing gluten free options, quick service and great options. There might be a line to order but moves pretty quickly!

Cassidy Southern

Cozy atmosphere with great food and service. I was excited to see they had a lot of dairy-free and gluten-free options! Seating is a little chaotic so be prepared to be flexible. Great as a working space, too.

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.

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.

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.

Megan Finch

We have ordered so many times and everything has been perfect…this time: not so much. I noted that I have a gluten allergy (like I always do), and one of my tacos was put on a pita (this has never happened before). I called because we got our order thru Uber Eats, and instead of helping me I was put on hold for 20 minutes and then hung up on. Not acceptable.

Tracy Geier

Had a fabulous meal here, a quick stop on the way to the airport. The ramen was great and the Jinya bun was a perfect appetizer. My server, Rawles, was so pleasant and helpful and walked me through the menu since it was my first time here. All the staff were extremely polite and gracious and I would definitely recommend this place for a larger group. Gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options are so nice to see on a menu, even if I didn't take advantage of them this first time.

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!

Trix Lee-Rainwater

The pita bread for appetizers was light and soft. Hummus trio was perfect, especially the spicy hummus. Kibbeh was very filling so maybe don't order it if you plan to order a full entree as well. I especially enjoyed my mouzat (slow cooked lamb leg with spiced rice). It was a lovely meal. Great service, the place is huge so there were many available seats, good food. They have lots of vegetarian and gluten free options. Highly recommended.

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!

Yasir Ahmad Khan

Great place if you need a gluten free grilled chicken sandwich. Highly recommend!

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!

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!

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!

Nonya Bisnus

The gluten free scones are also decent

Richie

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.

Cava is our go to as my wife has celiac’s. This location was just as good as the others.

Chris Alex

Solid pizza. We waited for it and ate it there at the only seating inside, a small window bar. Came out super hot. Would like to see a personal size pizza with normal dough, not just gluten free or cauliflower crust as they have now. A few spots out front but mainly street parking only. We had to park a block away at 2 pm on a Saturday. The cheese was good and there was a solid amount of pepperoni. The crust was also good and I liked the sauce. Worth stopping by.

Mia Coutinho

Yummy! There is a separate Gluten Free menu but it is a bit bare. More GF options, more things made w tamari instead of soy sauce would be great. Our server was so nice!

I have come a full hour before closing on many Saturday nights. They always say they are extra short staffed that night and need to close earlier than usual despite hours indicated online. This time, the manager told us the kitchen closed in 20 minutes, only to additionally walk near us to stare at her watch impatiently without making eye contact when we took 10 minutes to order. Waitress alsowas rude from the get-go, beginning with, "what do you want?" before anything else, not even a greeting or smile or water. We obviously ordered within the timeframe the manager had indicated. One pizza was bare two inches from the crust edge so was almost like afghan flatbread with only the center being sauced and cheesed; for their pizza size being so small, this was atrocious. Nobody asked how the food was of course. The gluten free person, who has an allergy, obviously ordered GF crust, having to reiterate "not cauliflower but the actual GF certified crust." Previous times, this has been prepared in a separate area and brought out by a manager. This time, I didn't see where it was originally prepared but saw that it was brought right past the main pizza area where it sat, exposed, while the other pizza was topped. The diner got sick. Both pizzas could not have been cut more sloppily. Everything was done with zero care, kindness, quality, or consideration. From the manager to the waitress to the food to the umpteenth early close, there is finally no reason to go back here. We tried. This location, at least at 10 (and multiple other times even at 9:30) on Saturday nights just absolutely sucks. Don't go.

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.

This place and the staff are awesome! We got the gluten free strawberry banana crepe and it was so so delicious and refreshing. The owner is so nice! Highly recommend:)

Sophie Pyle Zeigler

I am one of those people who has a lot of digestive issues with American gluten and wheat. I can eat pizza in Europe without a problem – and Pupatella. It’s the real deal. If you are usually gluten-free, try Pupatella and see if it sits well for you like it does for me.

Rouben Gregorian

Great service with fun drinks. Some light gluten free options including fresh made guacamole and chips (just ask for salt on the side). Overall a nice spot for a fun night out with friends or a date.

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!

Great for breakfast and dinner. I created my own omelette with spinach and Swiss. Everything was super fresh including the hash browns. They also have vegetarian and gluten free options. I had the gluten free sweet potato raviolis with quinoa. It was delightful.

Stella Biderman

Love the gluten free pizza!

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.

Nikki

The Beef Egg Drop soup is my favorite. There are not a lot of gluten free options. There are some, not marked, but the staff is knowledgeable.

Susan W

Matt was an amazing server! I have serious gluten/dairy allergies and he brought out the chef to provide safe options. The food is absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere is as well. Highly recommend this place!

Will Granger

Amazing food! Was there for lunch and had the crab fried rice and catfish Moak. Both were fantastic. We were ready to go back again for dinner! (Sadly over ruled by the kids wanting something else. Clearly they weren’t there to taste lunch!) There were gluten free and vegan options. Parking is plentiful in the shopping center parking lot.

Allison G.

A delicious sushi meal with gluten-free accommodations, including GF tamari. The sushi chef and server were able to steer me to naturally gluten-free rolls. They had GF tamari, too. I'm adding Kusshi to my list of go-to sushi restaurants. Great salmon toro, which is my favorite nigiri. The maki I ordered were beautiful and delicious.

Michael Dunson

Good food, and very busy on a Friday evening. Counter service restaurant with food delivered at table once ready, which was a bit longer than I would have expected. A nice variety of meat had offered. For those spice-averse or gluten free, options are available, though limited. Parking is very limited, narrow, and difficult to navigate. The live music outside was a nice touch, though too loud to hold conversation, so we moved to a table inside.

Miriam Peters

Amazing decor and everyone was wonderful from the moment we arrived. There are lots of gluten free options, which we loved ! We had a wonderful time and Precious was great in answering any questions we had!

We came here on a whim before heading to the airport (~10 mins away) and we still haven’t stopped talking about it!! Fantastic burgers, salads, fries, shakes and lemonade. Everyone was happy with the food, and **we’re all gluten or dairy free! Truly great food and very reasonably priced, $15 or less per meal. Only docked an atmosphere point since the music was so loud we couldn’t talk to each other, but hey we were also busy eating. Seemed like a lot of workers and locals liked this place too. If you miss out on this place, there’s another location inside the airport. This was a win for us!!✨
