Best burger I’ve ever had. Me and my girlfriend got the same exact thing two days in a row because of how good it was. Good gluten free buns.

We had a wonderful experience at Smyrna. All of the staff were so welcoming and attentive, and the food was next level. So many unique dishes to choose from. They were very accommodating of my gluten allergy as well. I’m sad that I don’t live here so I can’t come back all the time!

We had a great time here. The food and drinks were excellent. Our server Kevin was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We felt comfortable eating there with food allergies and sensitivities. Even with gluten allergy and lactose intolerance, I could have their chocolate cake for dessert! Would love to go here again.

I am familiar with BJ's from having spent a year in El Paso. We loved that restaurant-- first went when I had a friend visiting who has celiac disease, and they had several gluten-free options (including a GF pizookie, which is TO DIE FOR). This was my first visit to the Charlottesville restaurant, with the same GF friend, and perhaps it was just the staff working there today, but they were not very knowledgeable about the GF options, and more importantly did not verify answers, even after it was made clear that my friend has a legit allergy, not just "sensitivity." So her fish tacos came out in regular flour tortillas, which my friend realized after a couple bites. Good things: the manager made it right and didn't charge for the entree, after we inquired and heavily suggested that move; they still have an outstanding beer selection; the rest of the food was good (gigantic ahi tuna salad pictured); and the pizookies are still OFF. THE. CHAIN.

I've been frustrated over the last 6 months or so trying to get gluten-free options at the Timberwood grill and I asked this week and the manager Stephanie went out of her way to take time to understand my situation. She went and got me a menu and made a special point to hear what I had to say and to help me and they have fantastic gluten-free options, good food and the management here is really great. Especially Stephanie.

My wife and I ate here tonight and it was really good. We ordered a salad, antipasto, and a gluten free pizza. Everything was excellent and the gluten free pizza was probably the best gluten free pizza I’ve had. The hostess and waitress were both really nice and we really enjoyed our meal so we will definitely come back again.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Kardinal Hall and we had a fantastic time! The staff was very easy to work with and were very accommodating for dietary restrictions and last minute guest additions. Chrissy was very responsive and had answers to all of my questions, which made planning the event a breeze. There are many dining options for larger groups, and our food (pork schnitzel, cabbage, roasted potatoes) was delicious! We had gluten-free and vegetarian guests who all raved about their food! The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very fun and the perfect energy that we wanted for our rehearsal dinner.

Eat here now!! Just find a place to park an and walk on over! Great vegetarian options, even delicious without the bread!! I was a little sad that it is all sandwiches, but the fried green tomato on greens was amazing!! So even if you're GF or reducing gluten, this is the spot. The lovely and attentive waiter informed me that they have a separate fryer for GF! So thoughtful. I'm excited to come back and try more deliciousness. I was sad to see blue grass grill close, but this is actually amazing and I'm glad they're here ♥️
