First of all a shout out to Red Robin for the decision to bring in Donatos pizza. This is the best GF/cauliflower crust pizza I have ever had and that's after eating gluten free pizzas all over the country for about 20 years. GF crusts are notoriously difficult to cook evenly...often burnt on the edges and soggy in the middle.
Donatos via Red Robin has figured out how to cook the pizza evenly, leaving a perfect combination of crispy bottom/edges, not burnt, and tasting the amazing toppings, cheese, sauce without the distraction of a horrible chewy/burnt/strange tasting crust.
For local location, staff does an awesome job! Cooks and servers. Keep up the good work!
The food was delivered quickly and arrived hot. Great communication from my delivery driver. I loved the variety of options especially given that many were gluten-free. I ordered the pumpkin curry and the eggplant. Both were delicious!
They have a dedicated fryer for gluten free fries. I am a happy celiac. The burgers can be lettuce wrapped meaning I can dine with my family without a lot of explaining or fuss. This is our favorite restaurant. Its too bad we live too far away to go weekly.
I did not leave a single crumb on the plate. If I was in the area, I would surely have gone back the next day to eat the same dish.
Today, I decided to explore the flavors from the East Africa by trying Ethiopian cuisine. The African continent is home to more than 50 countries, each with its own unique dishes. Having tried cuisines from various African countries, I was looking forward to comparing this cuisine with what I have had previously in other restaurants.
The waitress at Vera's Kitchen was very pleasant and able to explain the items on the menu when we ordered.
I choose to eat Beyaynetu, a vegetarian dish served with injera bread, a spongy injera flat bread made from highly nutritious gluten-free teff flour. I loved the complex and rich flavors of the five items on top of the injera bread. Pieces of the bread are normally torn off and used to grab the lentils and vegetables on top, although using a fork is also an option. And like I said-not a crumb was left on the plate. I finished the meal off with fine Ethiopian coffee that arrived in the traditional vessel.
If there is anything that could be improved, possibly the restaurant's decor but I went there for the food. When the food is this excellent, ambiance is just a bonus.

I don’t leave reviews often, but this specific Noodles and Company on Liberia Avenue is top notch and they truly care about you. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease recently so it’s been hard to find good places to eat at with the risk of cross-contamination. I ordered my meal online and ordered the gluten-free noodles and grilled chicken. When I arrived, the worker went out of his way to speak to me and specifically ask if I had a gluten allergy and informed me that there is a high risk of cross-contamination with the grilled chicken even though it’s naturally gluten-free. He made me a new pasta and added shrimp and made it in a separate and clean pan so that there wasn’t any cross-contamination. I didn’t even ask him about the risk or tell him I had celiac, but his kindness was apparent and he wanted to make sure that I wasn’t going to eat something that risked my health. I appreciated that so much and will be eating here again!!
Our family had brunch at The Black Sheep today. Everything was delicious. Top notch service, attention to detail, friendly staff, etc. My only complaint is that for a restaurant at this level and per person price why don’t they have a non dairy alternative for coffee (almond milk, oat milk, etc.)? Also there were no gluten free dessert offerings. With all the food allergies and sensitivities out there these days you’d think a restaurant like this would be more open to accommodating everyone. It’s really not that difficult to provide a few more options. Also, what is with the Tabasco Sauce? Why not “tap” (brewery pun intended) into some good ole Virginia local hot sauce? I mean come on, you can do better than that!
Favorite pizza place in Manassas. The food always comes hot, fresh, delicious, and usually earlier than the estimated delivery. If you order extra cheese be prepared because they give you EXTRA cheese. Too much cheese is never a problem, though.
Gluten free crust is one of the best tasting I've had and unlike a lot of other pizza places that say they have a gluten free crust I've never gotten sick from here.
I did get an uncut pizza once which was honestly just hilarious.
Celebrated a friend’s birthday here with a large group and were treated so well with excellent, attentive service. Food was delicious! Loved their roasted mushroom soup and their gluten free pasta! 😋 They offer half off bottles of wine on Tuesdays! 🍷 Would def go back!
We went here because a friend has to have gluten free food. They were very good about making sure she got what she needed. The food was excellent and the service was great.
A perfect atmosphere for a local feel breakfast spot!! Just what I'd expect. Streams of folks coming in. Most tables turned over twice while I sat having a leisurely breakfast. The omelet was delicious!! I'll be back 😊
I said "I'll be back" and yes!! the the next morning I was and with all the people that stream in there I was so impressed that they remembered what I ordered the day before and that I needed it gluten-free!! 😊 ... this was a Saturday morning and so busy!! with happy breakfast dinners. They had to organize a short wait list and did this efficiently and fairly. Impressive!
