Top 15 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Arlington

henry chiang

On a recent trip to downtown Arlington for my daughter's SAT exam, I discovered Stilly Diner, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. I chose a traditional breakfast, and it was delicious. The sausage and bacon were perfectly cooked—not too salty—allowing the flavors to really shine. The hashbrowns tasted homemade, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just like a comforting meal from your kitchen. One of the best parts of my visit was meeting some wonderful people. While I waited for my food, I chatted with a lady outside who loved the diner’s gluten-free options, and she mentioned her husband found the corned beef delicious. I also spoke with a guy next to me who works remotely as a frontend programmer and comes to the diner often—his stories added to the welcoming atmosphere. To top it all off, someone at a table behind me unexpectedly paid for my meal before leaving. Maybe they got charmed about me working hard on my laptop while easting in the corner on a Saturday morning! I made sure to tip generously to spread the good vibes to the wonderful servers. Overall, Stilly Diner is a true gem in Arlington. With great food, friendly faces, and a sense of community, my first visit was truly memorable. I can’t wait to return!

Good subs. They have gluten free bread and they didn't charge extra when we ordered online. Wish the sub was a little bit larger.

They used to have a ton of gluten free options but now they only have a few.

Fast and Friendly. Was my first time and the guy explained everything to me. They were super helpful. My wife was excited b/c they have a gluten free sandwich, were they wrap the sandwich in lettuce instead of bread. They also brew their Ice Tea(which I find most don't even more and it taste horrible) and have it in sweet or unsweetened. They even sell it in a gallon size. I will defiantly get next time I order delivery. which I found they delivery to my house. Our sandwiches were delicious and Awesome.

We order here for pick up regularly and it is my comfort food. I have celiac and always feel safe eating here, the food is soooo good, and the woman at the front is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I truly appreciate her. - Kristina

Many gluten-free options! They make their own gf pancakes, and there is no added sugar! Huge portions of food. Smaller place with a history that the staff will talk to customers about. The staff were nice, even on a bad day. Street parking and parking lots nearby. I cannot wait to go back!

They have gluten free toast! And you can substitute them into eggs Benedict!

Gluten free girl over here! I am allergic to gluten and beef but I love going to places and having a fun night with my family here is my allergy review to help fellow allergy people. They do have a dedicated fry fryer so no cross contamination YAY. The girl taking my order was very knowledgeable and kind. Some places make me feel bad about my allergies she did not so big win for that. No gluten free bun but did lettuce wrap so that was nice. I had the classic chicken sandwich lettuce wrapped and fries. No hospital trip for me after this fun night with the family so thank you Nutty's ❤️

All around great experience. The service was great, super friendly helpful staff. I am gluten free and they helped me with making my decision. I had GF Mediterranean pasta and then we had the GF Oso chocolate cake and lemon meringue. I was in heaven! My husband is not GF, but agreed my pasta was very good and the Oso cake too. Such a low key and chill place to eat.

We live closer to Burlington, but we prefer this Dennys because the service is better, faster and the wait staff are so friendly! I have celiac disease and have never had an issue getting a safe meal here.

This is the best restaurant within driving distance, if you are able to come and get reservations I promise you, you will not be disappointed. More than once have they accommodated me on short notice. The staff is always incredibly friendly, they will always try to accommodate allergies including gluten free. The food is always cooked to perfection and I would highly recommend it.

All was good. Cobb salad was delicious. Would be great if they had gluten free buns for burgers and sandwiches, I realize that they would probably be a waste of $$ and understand them not having them available.

Denice Nelson

Great service and the pizza was delicious. They have a gluten free option, thin crust that was quite good.

Audrey Tanberg

Everything was awesome. My 11-year-old said it was the best chicken he’s ever eaten in his life. We ordered 7 meals plus fries and everything was great and everyone loved their meal. One plain burger for a 4-year-old, a chicken sandwich, a gluten-free lettuce wrapped burger, and three other burgers plus loaded fries. All amazing burgers. They have a great selection of beer and a really good soda brand too. The kids LOVED their sodas. I wish we had room for milkshakes because those looked awesome. This place is worth the 30 minute drive from my house to go here.
