Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across 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.

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

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.

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!

Excellent Pizza. So many choices plus gluten-free crusts.

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.

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.

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.

Only gf/vegan sauce they had was Sriracha... It's prob worth investing in a few bottles of gluten-free soy sauce, no? Would be nice if they had a vegan pho on the menu too. There was a literal mouse in the house and some hair in my noodles; it might be time for the four sisters to #stepitup

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

Nate Waugh

My wife and I's go-to spot for movies. Food is pretty good, there's gluten and dairy-free options. Seats are comfortable and recline. If you park at the adjacent parking garage after 4pm, it's free for the evening.

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!

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!

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.

Loved my Vegetarian, Bánh Mì Sandwhich on the most delicious Gluten Free bread. Also---seseme sticks inside of the sandwhich, just wow.

Irene Walshe

Informal coffe/breakfast restaurant with a New Orleans flare. They have only 2 items Gluten free to pair with the coffee : apple muffin and brownie, both very nice. Brunch is very popular and prices are fair. It has an old New Orleans feeling, funky and old, but charming ;)

Quality service and a tasty meal. I especially loved the “Floating Island” dessert. I am gluten free and they were very accommodating. They had a delicious French onion soup (that they take the crouton out) and gluten free dessert options.

Essence and Daisy are so helpful and kind- my spouse has a lot of medical food restrictions, and this is one of the only places we can go out to eat safely. Every staff member is patient, knowledgeable, and wonderful at what they do. <3 (As of 11/6/25, they have gluten-free bread without potato starch or other nightshades.)
