Top 40 Gluten-Free American Spots to Enjoy in Richmond

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.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! My partner has celiac and they have a full gluten free menu. We go at least once a month. I highly recommend for ANYONE!

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.

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.

12/10. This place is phenomenal. The food and service were both top notch. Also, lucky for me they have A LOT of gluten free options, for those who have allergies or sensitivities to gluten. I figured they would have at least a few options but according to our server, either the owner or the head chef has celiac so they try to incorporate several gluten free options for guests. So we ordered the fried broccolette, the seven hills 16 oz ribeye, and the Greg’s catch of the day. The broccolette might not sound that interesting but it was actually super delicious and 10 times better than we thought it would be. We only ordered after our server (i think her name is Kat) recommended it. The ribeye was really good on its own, but the Greg’s catch was the pride and joy of the evening. I didn’t know what panisse was before this evening and now I know it’s one of my favorite food items. It was paired with a trout/salmon like fish and it had a sauce spread all around it too. That dish would be my recommendation to anyone. Our server, Kat, explained a lot to us and was super helpful with recommendations. Definitely coming back.

Give me Liberty or give me death!!! I felt like death leaving this place. And you will wait for your food to hit the table... Man, let me start by saying, "Table of 4, holiday weekend, kick off, so the team decided to grab lunch together, COOL." I am a 1st and LAST timer...... My order: Ol' Faithful (scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, biscuit, and hashbrowns) I wanted a side order of pancakes. Well, the waitress wanted to give me an entire pancake meal, and I asked for just 1 side order (a la carte). The pancakes only (side order) were $12 for 3 that were not edible. Photo: My food and pancakes were dusty dry inside. Couldn't cut with a knife. They were tough. At clean up, I found out it was gluten-free. No thanks Others: enjoyed their meal, one inhaled the burger, not sure if she tasted it. Everyone eats, and we are heading out, returning to the office. Instantly, I needed to sit down and center myself. Felt loopy, headache, nauseous not just me, all of us!!!! One took a 15-minute nap to try to bounce back, I am flushing with water, and the others are in the bathroom. So, notification are being made to our job because something is clearly off and we all are not sure what is going on....we left the office and directly to get lunch to return directly back to the office. ( I fast until 1100hrs, this was my first meal for the day) The best way I explained it, feeling loopy like when I eat Chinese food and forget to tell them no MSG. Nothing on the menu states cooked with MSG. Called the location just to check if they cook with MSG, Alexia/Alexis (manager) heard my issue, quickly put me on hold to check a sauce they cook with; returned to say no MSG in the building. But you have a sauce you cook with, ok. Yeah, I will pass on this one. You all enjoy, thou...

First time dining here. Great dog friendly porch. Had a fabulous lunch/brunch. They have multiple gluten free options on the menu. Service was great and staff went out of their way to make sure our dog had it's own water bowl and shady spot to get out of the sun. The food was terrific. I had a breakfast bowl with pork bbq. Huge portion that I couldn't finish. Can't wait to come back for Supper!

Nature’s Art

I got the classic station2 burger!! Gluten free bun!! It was really good. The bun was sooo soft and delicious. The burger was thick so it could’ve used a lot more seasoning. The chili was okay, there were too many beans in my opinion and I wish they gave me more cheese to add in it but it was still pretty good. yummy! I wish they had a dedicated gluten free fryer because I would’ve been able to get fries here instead of somewhere else.

Maija Penn

Myself and my party had a wonderful brunch. We were celebrating a successful bridal dress pick and engagement. Our waitress Sophie was lovely. Drinks and good was overall tasty. I was glad my vegan and gluten intolerant friends were able to find food they enjoyed. One of the shrimp dishes had a sauce that needed more body, but overall it was a good experience. Definitely would come again!

John Lafferty

This place was great. I had the Devil Mess, which seems to be their signature dish. Was a good level of spice but not too hot. They also were accommodating to my wife with Celiac disease (gluten).

Ron DeFoe

Popped in for a Donatos gluten free cauliflower crust pepperoni pizza. 🍕🍕🍕🍕

Katherine Britton

I'm a gluten free girl (celiac) and was blown away by how delicious the food was last night. I got the part of the special (apple fennel salad with peanut dressing) and THE WOW. The burger I ordered with it was delicious too, but I could have eaten three times the amount of that salad/slaw. It was incredible and I would love to see it on the menu again next time!

Jon Smithers

Wonderful dinner with my wife. Calamari appetizer was amazing and gluten free... steak was tender with an amazing glaze... deserts are not to be overlooked. Our server, Gradey, was knowledgeable and made great recommendations. Look forward to trying their Sunday brunch soon!

Marie Lotter

My partner is a vegetarian and I prefer to avoid meat where I can, so we're always on the lookout for spots that cater to the veggie crowd more than just having one or two vegetarian options that are lackluster in comparison to the rest of the menu. And this place was absolutely perfect; at no point did we feel like the quality or flavour was sacrificed in the process of making the meal vegetarian or vegan. I got the "chicken" salad sandwich (on a gluten free wrap) with a side of butternut squash soup, and my partner got the Gyro sandwich with a side of potato salad; we were both more than satisfied. The gluten free wrap was also very tasty in its own right and not too dry or crumbly. We're definitely going to be coming back sometime soon, but I'll have to really push myself to try something new instead of getting that amazing chicken salad wrap again; it was just that good.

Jessica Allossery

I can’t rave highly enough about the service and hospitality of Lemaire and the Jefferson hotel. We had nothing but pleasant experiences during all of our encounters with the staff. The food here is exceptional - yes it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for and it’s top quality. We stayed two nights and dined here for dinner both nights. Honestly I couldn’t choose a favorite dish because everything was so delicious. Love the Gluten Free options too - the waitstaff even brought me GF bread. Such a treat!

Michael Lamberson

Really good food and really big portions. Nice gluten free options as well.

Tiffany Coleman

This is a staple in my household. Love Cracker Barrel and the store! I love the cornbread. EVERYBODY I know hates it but I love it. Not gluten free so be careful but lots of options if you are gf. They have a great selection of Xmas decor. Been out since August. But go in... It's some good eating!

Alan Garcia

We had a great time dining with a friend who was visiting from out of town. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The menu had a nice variety of options to choose from.

Mayank Singh

Standard red robin experience. We were told it's a 15 mins wait but we got a table in 5. When we went in almost half the restaurant was empty (they got a big place). Decent vegan, gluten free and vegetarian options available. The staff was patient and respectful.

Michelle Neer

I worked with Tarrant’s to host my sister’s baby shower brunch and they were the best from start to finish! They were so responsive answering all my planning questions, great mocktails, customized the menu for gluten-free guests. Their sunroom was elegant and didn’t need much decoration and it was a huge success. I’d recommend them for any special occasions such as showers or rehearsal dinners.

Mollie Brooks Cary

Great food and service. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options!

Robert Josiah Carey

Phenomenal atmosphere and service. The oyster appetizer and desserts were delicious! Entrees were 4/5 overall, tasty but not notable. Note that almost the whole menu is gluten free which is amazing! Overall a marvelous dinner experience!

Lisa Davis

We really enjoyed our specials, salmon wraps. My friend needed a gluten free option for hers and they were very accommodating. Service was great. The only issue is that the music playing on the stereo system was a bit loud - we could have asked for it to be lowered but Disney think about it.

Sasha Lewis

Cozy atmosphere, good food, friendly service, gluten free options. I happened to be there on their opening night so it was really packed and loud but the crowd was chill and the staff seemed to be handling it well. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Christopher Hill

A great little place. The pork chops are highly recommended and the fish was excellent. I had trouble deciding because while the menu was not huge, there were multiple apps and entrees that I wanted to try, along with numerous gluten free options. Definitely will go back.

Jessica Hill

We hadn't visited Heritage in years but headed back last night to see what they've been up to. Wow. INCREDIBLE cocktails, wine, food, and service. We ordered the fried oysters which the chef made gluten free for me and they were so amazingly melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We also had the cheeseboard with foie gras, the rockfish, the ribeye, and a couple of handcrafted drinks that were wonderfully unique (mine was called Enter The Void). Everything we tried was truly delectable and the flavors/textures were 100% spot on with excellent wine pairings. One of the best meals we've had in awhile. Next time we will save room for dessert! I believe our server's name was Casey- she was outstanding. We will be back for sure.

Aimée Launderville

Very crowded and loud but excellent gluten free food and drink options.

The customer service I received from Diana V was amazing. She is so professional , accommodated me and my husband for a lovely breakfast. I went for the more healthy choice and I had the build your own “American Grand slam” with gluten free choices and egg whites. My husband had the Choco banana pancake with the bursting flavor of the choco because the banana were on top. For resfreshing drinks the mango lemonade and Apple juice was the choice for the morning . I will definitely be returning. The only con was the presentation was not picture worthy but the taste was definitely there 😁💯

Amy Lawlor

We went here last evening for a quick dinner and were SO impressed. By husband is gluten free, so it’s not always easy to find restaurants that can accommodate his dietary requirements. We were pleasantly surprised at the delicious choices that were offered! I ordered the pear salad (which was genuinely the most delicious salad I’ve ever had, the chicken was delicious, all of the flavors and textures of the salad worked perfectly together. My partner got the shrimp and grits and said they were delicious! We both cleared our plates. I ordered the whipped goat cheese appetizer to go and it was SO delicious (my partner ate it with his gluten free bread and loved it)! We both enjoyed the hot mulled ciders (which were nice and strong). I highly recommend this place, the only downside is we live in Maryland and it’s not close enough :(

Jason Kaplan

Great food options with plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. High quality food.

Caribooty

Great service. Enjoyable atmosphere. Menu accommodates many diets including gluten free. Highly recommend! Big potions.

Callie Prewitt

Food was excellent, great selection and service. Menu had several gluten free options. Only giving four stars for environment because our bench seating was uncomfortable. There were other seats it was just where we happened to get seated. Next time I'd like to try their outdoor seating. Food was incredible though and kind of meal you want to eat slow and savor.

Shakira Ali

My eating experience has changed drastically so I don't eat many of the foods I use to eat. My taste buds have advanced to a higher level of healthier selections. No preservatives, no gluten, no dairy, no can foods & no meat. Only plant-based, organic & fresh. So that changes all the spots I use to enjoy going to. Now I'm much more happier & healthier. ❤️👉Life, eat right.

Jennifer Sevillanos

Cute traditional dinner. Great friendly staff, very willing to accommodate our dairy and gluten allergies (cooking with no butter and no bread). Plus the food was delicious.

Aaron Roberts

The food here was absolutely fantastic and they had a wide variety of gluten free appetizers and entrees.

Deone Allen

We had our company Christmas party here as a private event. It was my first time at Shagbark and what a wonderful experience it was! The food, service, drinks and atmosphere were top notch!!! My husband is on a gluten free diet due to an allergy and they were able to accommodate him. We will definitely be back for dinner and so should you!!!

Skyla Madision

I am a Cealic and I eat their chicken and yucca all the times with no issues they also have corn tortilla which I believe are gluten free. Only 4 stars because its hard to communicate with some of the workers since they don't speak English well. I know very little spanish. se muy poco

Amelia Eanes

They have gluten free buns for sandwiches and their cocktails are amazing!

Ashley Carroll

Please go check this place out. Amazing lunch, great prices. My husband is gluten free and they were out of gf buns. He ended up getting the steak salad and it was perfect. I had the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. 10/10 recommend and can’t wait to return!

La-C Brame

I really enjoy coming to this lounge. It has a great vibe, nice crowd, aaannnd, they even offer food items that I am able to enjoy that are gluten-free. I'm not able to eat at most "soul-food' restaurants, but I can eat here.
