My wife has Celiac so we have to be very diligent about where we eat. Mellow Mushroom simply has the best pizza I have had a many years, even the GF pizza was amazing.

Airus Copeland

The owner, David, was very friendly and accommodating. I am celiac and he assured me that 95% of the menu is gluten free. He offered up additional information on labeling to assure me. I told him I was semi hungry and he recommended the salmon kabobs. It came with two different sauces and rice with a salad. It was fresh and delicious. I will be a new “usual” customer now!

Elizabeth Conley

I am loving their salads and gluten free pizzas. Unlike many others, their gluten free pizzas are an indulgence, which is exactly why I eat pizza. Delicious.

Nice assortment of lunch items in a clean, bright environment. Service was friendly and fast. Great selection of local beers, ciders, and other bottled beverages as well as variety of Route 11 chips. Gluten free bread options, and outdoor seating with umbrellas.

Went here for the first toddler-free date night in a while, and it was such a warm, welcoming, and relaxing environment (even with other young families around). Enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening and was impressed to see a full parking lot, but gratefully no wait for a table. The hosts opened the doors for us when we walked up, a truly nice touch of service! They had an entire gluten free menu with a lot of options which was very appreciated. Our waitress was willing to get answers from the kitchen about it preferences before ordering. Everything we ordered we thoroughly enjoyed (2nd Street chips w/pimento cheese, the tomato soup (omg!), Grilled tofu dinner, with all the sides, beet and goat cheese salad, and veggie burger patty (the least exciting of all, but still good)). We can not wait to return and absolutely recommend. Surprised to have just discovered this place. Has hotel restaurant vibes, but is welcoming and the staff was all fabulous.

Absolutely love this place! We went with my Sunday school class and they were very accommodating. Two in our group are gluten free and they had lots of options for them. The waitress Olivia was great especially for such a big group.

Monica Avila

Gina did an amazing job. She made our gluten free diet very easy. She was very professional and was on top of everything. We appreciated her service.

I'm so disappointed in Angelo's today. I attempted to order gluten-free pancakes from them today. It was not on the doordash menu so I called the restaurant and asked if they still had them. I was advised by someone named Chrystal that they did still have them and that it should be on the doordash menu. I advised her that it was not on the doordash menu and she stated that I could go ahead and order regular pancakes and she would make an effort to put the gluten free order to the cook instead. She called back about 10 minutes later and said she could not do that because it would be extra for the gluten-free pancakes. By that time, I had already placed the order on doordash andb it had to gone through. I had to go through I don't know what to get that order canceled and my money refunded. It seems to me that the business establishment would have considered their customer's inconvenience and offered the pancakes cheaper at that point or ask the customer to pay over the phone via debit card for the extra amount of money. It could not have been that much more to inconvenience a customer like that.

Amazing enchiladas de mole pablano, great gluten free (gf) options, and fast personable service, love this place!

Emily M. Koellner

Excellent service and care. Started ordering by letting the staff know we have Celiac disease and the staff member immediately removed his gloves, washed his hands, and put on fresh gloves to serve us. He ensured he was the only one to touch our food containers through to check out. Plus, the food was stellar! So happy to have a safe place for my daughter to feel comfortable eating out.

We frequent Mission BBQ as it is one of the few places my Celiac wife can safely eat. They are very cautious when preparing her food and work diligently to avoid cross contamination. We have been going for years and never have had an issue. Thier food is always amazing and very favorful. They honor our active duty and veteran community. Being a 30 year retired veteran, it is great see an establishment that recognizes our vets. Every day at noon they play the Star Spangled Banner, it truely is awesome. Additionally thier staff is amazing. When you enter the restuarant you always get a very heartly Welcome. They make you feel at home. Thier entire crew is great at what they do. One crew member, Kera (forgot her last name) was on her game and made sure every aspect of our meal was taken care of and great attention was paid to ensure my wifes safety and enjoyment. This young lady certainly is amazing. I could see her running the restaurant one day.

Katrina Heim

Offers gluten free and dairy free but uses soybean oil in every single dish.

John

Great food and very accommodating for gluten free diets.

Ashley Meredith

We had a Galentines Dinner last night and there wasn’t a single complaint from 11 women. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Katie was our server and she was knowledgeable and also knew which gluten free options were the best. Thank you for hosting our little event. Can’t wait to come back!

Mark Hewitt

Great food. Gluten free friendly. Loved it and loved our waiter.

Very clean and modern looking restaurant. Nice staff and delicious food. We had a mix of vegans and gluten free people in our large group and there was something delicious for everyone.

Rachel González

Delicious food! Amazing service. It’s a cozy environment. The tables are close together but if you like a family style vibe you will enjoy this. Gluten free options!

Aneesa P

Amazing! This is definitely my new Hibachi spot. I am gluten intolerant and they were so great about my food restrictions. They offer GF soy sauce and extra rice or veggies since you can't indulge in the noodles. I did feel bad as everyone had to wait for my food to be cooked first with the gf soy sauce. The only reason for 4 stars is we had to keep looking to get our drinks refilled and there were no tricks, jokes or shrimp thrown at our table it was a bit odd. Otherwise amazing taste.

Kelsey Voight

My husband and I love to eat here. Service is always superb! Portions are large and fairly priced. They offer gluten free pasta, which is a must for me. The gluten free penne a la vodka with chicken is my absolute favorite. If you live in the area, this should be your go-to place for Italian cuisine.

Loaded fries are great, chicken tenders great, gluten free pizza was great (too expensive at 22.00 for 2 toppings), but stay away from the fish. One bite and sent it back - just been frozen too long?I would have ordered nachos but they only have flour tortillas. This is a party type of place, so even tho we were outside people around us were loud and smoking. When i go back it will be in daylight.

I am visiting Newport News from Richmond for my anniversary weekend. We decided on this place because it had a Gluten Free menu and good reviews from other celiacs. It was FREAKING PHENOMENAL. I ordered the peppered scallops as a starter, crab cake, scallop and shrimp trio with gratin potatoes and garlic mashed potatoes (all to split with my fiancé) as the entree and the crème brûlée for dessert. Coming from a Chef, I couldn’t have made this meal any better myself. Among the top 5 I’ve ever had in my life. I seriously would sell my legs to live closer so I could eat here again. The service was a little slow, about 45 minutes before we received an appetizer and then another 35 before the meal was delivered. However it was a Friday night and they had a few big parties so I’m sure that’s what caused the jam. No matter though, I’d wait that long again to enjoy it. 110% worth every penny ❤️

Wonderful new Thai restaurant close to home. They are celiac knowledgeable and offered to make almost anything on the menu gluten free. We all enjoyed our food and will return!

Karen Conner

My family had a wonderful experience celebrating my son's graduation at Carrabba's! The food was excellent! Gluten Free options were good! Chelsea was a terrific waitress! When my husband accidentally left his credit card, Chelsea and Carrabba's staff wonderfully& responsibly held the card for us. I intend to eat here again- it was my first time. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Oyster Monday! 75 cent raw oysters. Lisa was great and checked several times to insure which items are gluten-free. Had a great time. We will be back

Fav Italian restaurant 3 rd visit here ..Food is always good. I am gluten free and they have penne gluten free pasta. Very accommodating. Just wish they would have a different know gf pasta like angel air.. Otherwise great restaurant great service . Top of my list for Newport news, VA.

Bailey Connor

They have a gluten free pasta, and a gluten free pizza dough. I wasn't super impressed as I only had the gluten free penne with marinara which was pretty basic, but all the other items looked phenomenal, and the family loved it! I was able to get some grilled chicken in top also which was good. Family restaurant type vibe, good food, nothing to complain about. No negative reactions from gluten either 🙏🏼

Our waitress, Tadajha, was phenomenal! I have a gluten and shellfish allergy, and she was so diligent making sure my meal was safe for me. The kitchen makes sure they are prepping your food correctly, and I appreciate that so much! Great restaurant!

Good gluten free options, as well as sweet potato fries available. Delicious milkshake. Sorry for the image, required a to-go order this trip, but still juicy and delicious double burger.

This place is great! Good food, good vibes! Compliments to the chef (Chris) as I have celiac disease and he took it VERY seriously! I will be back:)

The atmosphere was uplifting and fun and bright. The food was literally perfect. It was lots of fun to pick our own food and cook it. I can't wait to go back. Or you can eat for 2 hours for a great price. Everything is great about this place. SOUP MADE FOR US GLUTEN FREE. WE ORDER GLUTEN-FREE VEGETABLES, NOODLES, MEATS AND FISH.

We came for the fettuccine Alfredo but loved everything. Service was excellent, Nathellia was fantastic. Can't wait to come back and try some the Gluten Free options. Don't miss the unique and interesting twist on classic cocktails with Amari that are are the name sake of the restaurant. They are a tasty and gentle entry into the category.

TJ Brown

Excellent food and service. I love that they offer Gluten free pancakes.

I truly don’t mean to be this person…but the lack of service and food in NN is horrible. I ordered a pizza and it barely came with chicken, which I found extremely odd that some pieces didn’t have any chicken on it…so, I asked for extra and they didn’t even add it on!! Just put it back in the oven….If you don’t want to add it on, say it’ll be an up charge if you don’t want to take care of your customers. I only ate one slice because it was awful…then the bartender hands me my check and doesn’t even take off the pizza I didn’t eat. The fact she was going to charge me, made me a little upset, as she clearly didn’t want to accommodate..her response was “the pizza comes that way when I order it.” Like, okay. It doesn’t mean it’s right or should be served like that. I did apologize to the bartender for how I came across. But come on…as a server/bartender myself, you’re supposed to go above and beyond. It truly isn’t hard to make customers happy….plus, Acting like you care goes a really long way and will make the experience better…most WILL come back. In my photos, I’ve attached what it looked like and what it came out as after asking for extra chicken. Clearly they didn’t add it and it was only cooked longer where the gluten free crust was overly crispy….really disappointed with the service and food here and I’ll never come here again.

The employee there was super helpful and even let us try some of the ingredients that were new to us! Excellent gluten free/vegan options! The food was really good, but I think they may have forgotten the sauce on mine. Overall a good experience!

Long story short. Our burgers almost touched which would have potential to make my wife sick. The location was chosen by my wife who has celiac disease. It was chosen for its potential to be a gluten free eatery. However while she was making her selections, there was a allergy identification tool. When activated it identified the fries as not gluten free. This was our first red flag. The most basic of sides was not gluten free. Also because they have an allergy identification tool. This gluten avoidance has been identified as an allergy and not preference. I made my selections and we confirmed our order and paid. When the food was presented in the to go bag. My gluten bunned burger and my wife's gluten free bunned burger were very close to touching one another. Having a gluten allergy identifier and then displaying blatant disregard for said identified allergy is quite concerning. The food was very good.
