Early dinner on a weekday. Restaurant was largely empty but began to fill up after we finished our meal. Really nice seating and bar area. Hostess was friendly and helpful. Service was very good and she was able to provide a lot of information regarding the gluten free menu items. The gluten free menu is pretty extensive which was great! Had the cheese steak spring rolls which were absolutely delicious! Crab cake and fish sandwich were enjoyable. Dessert was upside down pineapple cake which we really liked as well. Drinks were also made well - we had the espresso martini which we would definitely order again! The only issue we encountered was the bathroom soap dispenser was broken so we couldn't wash our hands. That was a little frustrating but they helped resolve the situation. I would definitely return again to try more menu items!

First of all—absolutely adorable place! Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, this spot is a win. The people are some of the friendliest you’ll ever meet. And the best part? Everything—yes, everything—is 100% gluten-free. From appetizers to desserts, and it all tastes flipping amazing! Portion sizes range from generous to large, prices are spot-on, and the flavors? Out. Of. This. World. Whether you’re celiac or just appreciate incredible food, this is a must-visit. Bonus: they also offer dairy-free options, so everyone at the table is covered!Q

Best gluten free meals and options in the US. Amazing service and terrific food.

Amethyst Smith

They were stellar from the moment we walked in. They had my mind at ease immediately assuring me they don’t even bring gluten into the building. The food was amazing it felt like a 5 star dining experience. The whole menu being gluten free and without worries of cross contamination it was a fantastic experience with food and service. I will be returning for all of my events worth celebrating. Not to mention a full side menu of mocktails 😊

Melissa Johnson

As someone with a gluten allergy I am grateful to have a food stop where I don’t have to worry about anything on the menu. Been multiple times and everything is fresh and consistently good.

Scott Coker

Excellent food and a lot of Gluten free options.

Always looked like a fun place when I drove by and finally went a few weeks ago with friends for dinner. It was amazing. Our waitress, Brenda, was incredibly kind and helpful. She talked us through the menu and made great recommendations. We all ended up getting the grilled arepa llanera- a delicious combo of avocado, steak and cheese with a sauce. We also tried different sides- I had the tequenos which were sooo good. For beverages - they had a great happy hour and we got $7 blackberry sangria that was a perfect addition. I think we all enjoyed it. But I will say our overall favorite was their green garlic sauce. They need to bottle it- its that good! Also- almost EVERYTHING was gluten free! Overall it was a great experience. Will definitely go again!

Disappointed. Hangry Burger has been a staple for us but quality has taken a turn. Maybe there’s new management? About 3 times out of 4 our order is wrong or something is missing. This time the sides all tasted like they were sitting out for hours and my burger was so greasy that the bun was inedible. Really sad because I loved having a great option for gluten free takeout. But when a fast casual meal for two adults and a toddler is over $50, quality needs to be more consistent.

Strange Hood

Great authentic Korean food. And it’s gluten free🤍. The place is super clean and there’s great customer service. Will definitely visit this place again. Thank you Rossy and team.

Mac Cafurello

Talk about a wonderful place. Originally my first time going to this store was 2 pick up cupcakes that were both gluten and dairy free. I was then told to go in the mornings to see what treats that had out. I have gone twice now and will most certainly be returning. Not only is the treats super delicious (my favorite being the Cinnaminis), but the staff is super friendly and kind. They don’t hesitate to answer your questions and can tell they are putting fourth there best effort into their work. Highly recommend, i’ll be back!

Danyale Kellogg

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about celiac disease. We enjoyed the food and had lots of great leftovers.

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.

Tish Baird

my wallet will be taking a hit. the menu is right up my alley for taste. the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. you can see partly in to the kitchen. well worth the visit.

K. Ry (K-Ry)

As always, my gluten free vegan pizza was fantastic!!

stella evans

Their gluten free chicken was excellent. The service was outstanding. John Paul went above and beyond to take care of us. We will definitely be back.

lindsey packard

The food was really really good, I got the fried chicken, the crab cakes and we got the chocolate cake. They were all gluten free and delicious. The building though was so old, and it smelled awful, was very dusty and was a bit hard to breath because it was so musky. I’ve been to some restaurants that were in older buildings and none of them have been like that. Then our service was really bad also. So food-5 stars, atmosphere-1 star service-1 star. There is outdoor seating so maybe it’s worth it to sit outside and eat in the fresh air. They had a ton of gluten free options though.

Sara Kelly

My gluten free family was so happy to find a new gluten free bakery in our travels. Delicious treats (especially the pepperoni rolls) and great prices. We have found our new spot to visit every time we are in the area. 😋 Hopefully next time we can dine in and enjoy the awesome ambience of the restaurant.

Gluten free

This place was so good we came back the next day because we couldn’t stop thinking about it. I have celiac and the celiac waffle was incredible. My husband loved the paffles! The owners were so friendly and welcoming. Definitely going to be a tradition on our next trips to Charlottesville!

Came here on Valentine’s Day. My server Lexi made sure my meals would be shellfish and gluten free. Also love how many gluten free options there are too. I had the devils pass dip which was so flavorful and had the cheeseburger which was good too. Also tried the chocolate decadence which is gluten free too, very rich chocolate flavor

Michelle Marcet

BEST options for gluten free and dairy free. Sam the sever was very respectful of my allergies and it was truly appreciated.

Elenwin L

They have Gluten Free fried chicken and also GF Fish & Chips. What more can I say? Yum!

Lora Davis

Several gluten free options. Delicious

George Fletcher

I was super excited to find Gloria’s while traveling up I-81. The pupusas were fantastic as were the chips and salsa. As someone who eats gluten free (I’m not celiac) the majority of the menu is naturally gluten free (a huge plus). They do have signs that the kitchen is shared so cross contamination may be an issue for some. I look forward to the next time I’m in or near Staunton and can stop in again :)

Sheena Ethington

Our waiter Garrett was absolutely fabulous ! Provided professional outstanding service. He was personable, funny and made my birthday dinner with family extra special. Felt like we made a new friend. Tyrek the kitchen manager was also very pleasant to chat with. The food was delicious and so enjoyable ! With great prices. Also appreciated the gluten free options. This is definitely one of our favorite places ! Thank you for helping us make a sweet birthday memory

Sandy Hinden

Great flexible eating offering lots of gluten free options. Turkey burger was dry but flavorful. Glazed salmon was fantastic. Pork buns were rich, smokey, spiced and delicious.

Chelsy Amrhein

Fantastic gluten free options! Excellent food!

Linda Zaffram

Bruhhhhhh!!! Let me TELL YOU ABOUT THIS FRIED CHICKEN!! IT WAS GLUTEN FREE!! Seriously so.damn.good!! It's been on my list to try especially since they had gluten free options. The fact that it is actually real fried chicken is a BLESSING! The seasoned fries were YUM too. Big portion sizes as well. And the RANCH.... Made me want to slap my mama! It was so DELICIOUS 😋 Definitely give this place a go! My son didn't like his regular spicy sandwich but my daughter and I who have celiacs say YES! DEFINITELY EAT HERE! We will be back for girls night <3

shaun s

Always consistent and have great gluten free options!!

Don Houpt

Love us some Bartaco! Wonderful attentive staff, great drinks, and great food. Had their roasted duck and sesame ribeye taco's for lunch. Loved it so much I went back for dinner; got chicken tortilla soup, and the pork belly and roasted duck tacos. Best damn taco's outside of Texas... Oh, and the reposado margarita's are frickin' awesome. Yes, they have strict gluten-free options as well, one of our guests has celiac disease so that is a big concern.

Madeline Macfarlane

Phenomenal service, great local singer (Tim Branson), gluten-free food was exceptional!

Lw B

Great food and service! There are a great variety of menu items for those who need gluten free and dairy free choices! It was hard to select from them, but we went with the burgers and ribs, with french fries - both the potato and sweet potato. Both were excellent, and the ribs were some of the best! The service was great also, and the server was very knowledgeable about the menu and gluten free options for us. We would highly recommend them!

Roark Perry

Fantastic Fish. I had gluten-free breaded fish that was lighter and better than any breaded fish i have ever had. My wife has celiac and was able to have a great meal that was gluten-free and safe from cross-contamination.

Chelle Lynn

We love Capitol Ale House! Kylie was fabulous. The club is my absolute favorite but I've tried many menu items with no complaints. I had to take off a star because of my recent visit. I have a gluten allergy friend who loves Capitol Ale because of the gluten free options. She ALWAYS looks forward to the fries. They had a dedicated air fryer. This was a huge bonus for anyone with a gluten allergy. This has changed sometime recently and unfortunately is longer an option. Bring back the gluten free fry option.

Linde Chappelear

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.

Mallory Meyer

This was literally the best fried chicken and fries I’ve ever had in my life. AND, IT WAS GLUTEN FREE! I couldn’t believe it. Service was excellent. The workers were all smiling and laughing. Great music.

Kelly Morden

Always perfect. Great gluten free menu. Excellent service. Amazing food and impeccable wine pairings.

Tyra Drouillard

The food is always delicious and the service is great! I love that they have so many gluten free options!

Christian

The food was good. However, the gluten-free bun was awful. Worst bun possible. Fell apart like wet paper. Please go back to your other gluten-free bun.

jamie sutcliffe

This has been our family spot for years when we come for family vacation. It’s 9 times out of 10 a great experience. Some good things. They have great gluten free options. Their orange crushes are the best. And the prices are deff reasonable. Some not so good things. Caution if you sit outside when there is live music, you can’t hear each other talk and will have to yell. Some of their dishes lack flavor. Their peel and eat shrimp are almost inedible due to not being deveined and hard to clean out yourself.

Chris B

I really like this place. I am gluten intolerant so this place really hits home with all of the gluten free options. I have had various gluten free (GF) pizzas here, the GF fries mozzarella, their GF cheesesteak is really good too! Additionally the people that work in the restaurant, as well as the folks who drink and dine here are very nice and open to conversation. This place feels like (and is) a neighborhood bar and restaurant which is becoming rarer in this area. Check it out!

Karla DeVincent

Quiet, staff was very friendly and helpful with my gluten free needs! Crab cakes were massive, and the she crab soup was devine!

Well, here is my honest review. When we walked in, there were three employees behind the stand. One was busy on the phone and the other two were just standing around and giggling. We stood there for about a minute and no one acknowledged us. I literally turned around and opened the door and said “I guess they are closed.” (Nigel - you can actually check the camera because it’s a great feedback/teaching moment to your staff.) The two girls still said nothing to us. We stayed because of your Gluten Free options. We got sat and we waited. Then, we waited some more. Then, we flagged down a passing server and inquired where ours was. She told us that she would check. A few moments later, someone appeared at the table. Our server Talina was a bag full of sunshine… NOT. She was mediocre at best. While waiting for our food, we were subjected to the inappropriate music being blasted from the kitchen. (We sat in the booth right in front of the kitchen expo.) Speaking of food, I asked for the pasta with chicken; no mushrooms but substitute broccoli. I was charged $3 for a few measly pieces of it but hey, its 2024. The food overall was very, very good. However, due to the lack of hospitality and pleasant atmosphere, it was a fail in my book. *Bonus tidbit, I called from my seat asking if Nigel was in tonight. They answered “no” to which I replied, it’s clearly evident.

Melinda Mero

My husband I went here for lunch and it was good I got the the alpine chicken on gf bun and it all tasted so delicious. The bun was it tasted good unlike other places. I felt comfortable that it would be made with caution and it was i got see them cook and handle food where we were seated.

J Williams

Surprisingly we didn’t have to wait to get seated. Ordered a peach bellini, 7/10, wasn’t sweet sweet but gave a nice little buzz. Also got the breakfast pizza on gluten free crust. (The sausage gravy contains gluten just fyi). That pizza was so good. The chipotle ranch on top is heavenly. Perfect, 10/10. Wanted something sweet so ordered French toast. It was ok. Very nutmeg forward. Liked the vanilla crème on the top. Think it could have benefited from some type of fruit paired with it for a little acid but it did the job. Would rate it a 4.5/10. Enjoyed our breakfast.

Chris Mitchell

Great place all around. Not only is the BBQ amazing, they don't snub their nose at dietary restrictions. After my family ordered, I witnessed a group come in with a girl that had a gluten restriction. Sooners has a dedicated fryer and was very accommodating without being patronizing about it. You can tell they are in it for the customer. True old school small business that cares. I'll definitely be back!

kelsey McPherson

Ate here for lunch with my husband and son. The food was delicious and service was superb as always. The second we sat down the service was ready to help me get something started for my son who was clearly hangry and on the verge of a toddler meltdown. She was knowledgeable about the menu and navigated his dairy allergy like a champion. He had the kids burger and seemed to enjoy it. I had the steak salad and it was DELICIOUS(made gluten free and Celiac safe). My husband got himself a burger and also said it was great(he is picky about his burgers and said it was cooked perfectly and he didn't have to scrape any condiments off like usual)

Maddie Marr

Overall 10/10 every time we’ve gone! Best gluten free crust I’ve had
