Great food and good service. I had a gluten-free cheese steak, and it was fabulous. I could not taste the normal gluten-free flavors. It was really good bread.
Tucked away in a quiet Georgetown street, this charming brunch spot offers a cozy atmosphere and beautiful decor, perfect for a relaxed meal.

If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm. (Be sure to look for the bananas. If the French toast is served with sliced strawberries, that is the wheat based French toast.)
This restaurant also has gluten free bread so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten free upon request. And they can make their eggs benedict gluten free by using their gluten free toast.
It is a very pleasant experience dining here. I usually dine outside. They are located on a small street in Georgetown. Georgetown can be crowded but on this small street, it is never very busy. On a nice weather day, it is a pleasant experience to eat the gluten free French toast while enjoying the weather.
The service is always good too. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.
A beloved spot for its hearty servings, albeit a bit pricier than its competitors.

If you have celiac or a gluten allergy, please do not go here. I would say I've requested a gluten free bun 8 times at this location, and every time it has been a normal one. I've been to other locations where they do pay attention and accommodate gluten free buns on the burgers. You pay extra for a "gf bun" while you are being ripped off-- even when if you specifically mark that you have a gluten and wheat allergy/sensitivity. To whoever manages the store, please stop offering gluten free buns if you are continually making people sick.
Known for its mouthwatering variety, this spot excels in vegetarian delights and unique burger options that keep fans coming back for more.

The food here is delicious. Hits the spot when you want a burger, fries, and shake – which is what I usually order. Specifically the cheeseburger with mushroom bacon, and sometimes the crispy chicken sandwich. They offer both herb french fries and sweet potato crinkles, both are yum. Their Oatoasty milkshakes are great, and come in a variety of flavors. Can’t forget the sauces also, love dipping my fries in the spicy aioli, maple mustard, and Plnt Sauce.
The burgers/sandwiches are on the smaller side, but it’s not really a big deal for me. If I want more, I order two. Oh, and they offer gluten free buns, as well as Swiss chard wrap as a bun alternative.
Not very many fully vegan/plant based restaurants in my area, so I love stopping by Plnt Burger whenever I’m in DC.

4 stars for service, Mike our server was so diligent with making sure food items would be safe for my restrictions (dairy and gluten free)
However the options available were small. I always go for the beyond burger when available but none of the buns fit my restrictions so I got a lettuce wrap. And fries were not safe so I got carrots that had no taste.
A cozy and chic spot perfect for celebrations or casual hangouts, with a fantastic wine selection and unforgettable charcuterie.

We have been to the Nashville location many times, and we're so excited to try the location in DC. The food was great, and we now have new favorites that we hadn't tried before. This is a great place for anyone. But especially for those with celiac or just need gluten-free without the worry of cross contamination. The crispy zucchini is a must.
Happy hour vibes are on point here, with cozy indoor space and chill outdoor seating, plus a solid selection of beers and a full bar.

Went here for happy hour and it was great. They have indoor and outdoor seating . We sat inside but honestly it was warm and we wished we had sat outside. Our server was really nice. They have gluten free buns ( I didn’t have a burger) but our friend did and it looked amazing. We did order buffalo and dry rub wings and they were really good. They also have lots of beers ( including beer flights) and a full bar.
A hidden gem in Mid DC that impresses families with its delicious offerings and cozy atmosphere, making it a must-visit on your trip!

Yummy food but PRICEY! Our tab was $70 for two burgers and two drinks. Up charge for a gluten free bun was $4. For a vegetarian patty $3. Pickles $1. Onion rings instead of fries? Up charge. Can of cider? $8. I think there was a service fee on there as well. We enjoyed the food but for $35/person you expect something exceptional.

Love this place! Great to see happy staff! Food was awesome! Our 9byear old had the sliders and fries and is a fussy eater but never left crumb! I had the smokehouse sandwich, and am gluten intolerant, the staff were so helpful and made it with a gluten free bun even though it's not on the menu. It was delicious! It's been so long since I have enjoyed a burger/sandwich.
Staff were attentive and not pushy!
We also have the buffet breakfast included in our stay at the hotel, once again, staff were great in grabbing me some gluten free bread from the kitchen.
Daughter was unwell and staff were happy for me to take some cereal and yoghurt back to our room for her.
After our day out we grabbed some fries and tots to tske back to our room, it was great to see 2 young lads working with great personalities and enjoyed conversing with us! Well done boys! You are great faces for this company.
