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.

We went out for a special meal. Appreciate their ability to make food for my gluten sensitive daughter - Harrison our server took care of it for us.

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

Addison Carney

AMAZING AMAZING place! Would highly recommend. Lots of gluten free options and incredibly friendly staff. Food was beyond delicious and came out super fast. They recently came under new ownership but re-opened and are as great as ever! Please go and support these lovely people and get some yummy food along the way :)

Excellent food. It was so good. So many gluten free options here! My kids loved it, too!! I hope this restaurant comes to Orlando! We would frequent here regularly. I highly recommend it and I look forward to the time I can eat there again.

I think they purposely abandon guests for 20-30 minutes at a time. Make sure to plan 4 hours for dinner. When we were almost at 3 hours, I asked for the check, a doggy bag, and if she could bring dessert before we left. We ate dessert standing up, and walked out at the 3 hour mark. Food was good, but the gap between courses was absolutely a hostage situation. This was an hour drive each direction, and it was over 6 hours when we got home - only dinner, and we were on time for our 5:45 seating. Food was great and we had fun, but we had to turn off the burner because we were sitting there staring at the dry boiler for 20-30 minutes. Had the same experience in San Antonio decades ago. Just beware that this "experience" dinner destination will take 4+ hours from first seating until the bill comes. And they did not appear to be hustling for anything. I still left a very generous 25% tip ($30). Oh, and telling them you must remain Gluten-Free (& they have GF noted on every eligible item) isn't sufficient. We had 2 courses of the 4 where the waitress had to remove the food back to the kitchen to be remade because it was gluten-laden, even after making it clear on the phone, upon entering, when being seated, after a nice discussion explaining that consuming gluten would result in 6 weeks of diarrhea and a loss of 15# to an already too-thin body, and then 2 of the 4 courses were potentially deadly. Not good.

Wonderful food. Lots of options including vegetarian, meat, gluten free and a clear easy to read menu. Lovely indoor and outdoor dining. Very clean and convenient to shopping. I will definitely be back.

Daniel Mcgraw

This place is amazing. When we arrived, we were quite overwhelmed that there was a wait. But, they took our cell number and we called inside seated within 10 mins of arrival. So, good first impression. Then, we read the menu and had a difficult time deciding. The waitress was very helpful and honest about the options. They have gluten free choices at no additional cost. And, they have heart healthy options. My wife raved over the biscuits and gravy... I think she was impressed that the biscuit tasted like it was made from scratch. A big bonus to me was the uniqueness of everything. Although it was breakfast and brunch and lunch, they had their own signature. Definitely going back and highly recommend 10 out of 10! Oh, and they are hiring. What a great work life balance to arrive at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning and be done with work at 2:30 or 3pm. BTW, there was no rush for us to finish exactly at 2:30. In fact, we left at 2:45 and there were still people sitting at the tables laughing and enjoying the ambience. The staff was friendly and did not mind our extended stay... And, they have an outdoor seating area

I go here for gluten free options, they don’t disappoint. (:

Sequoyah Fortune

The meal was delicious! Everything was perfectly cooked, and seasoned. A very polite, and responsive wait staff, that was very helpful with ordering a gluten-free/vegan meal. I highly recommend!

Emma Kessler

Delish, gluten-free options and healthy! Very allergy friendly!

Clifton Whitehead

Rosie Smith

Alix Crow

Great Gluten Free options and a careful kitchen!

Amelia

I don’t know who was working the 8:40 Jan 13 shift but they were fantastic! It was two teenagers the girl with reddish brown hair and a guy with black curly hair. SUPER nice, great manners, and great food. I’m gluten free and for the first time in what feels like forever they changed their gloves! They always have more than enough food which I’ve found isn’t in most places. By far the best chipotle in the Richmond area!

Craig Larsen

First time I'd been to BJ's. They graciously handled our party of 12. Food was really good with lots of options. What was cool is that upon request they will hand you a list showing which menu items have common food allergies to help you find options that are gluten free, vegan, etc. The list took some getting used to but was really complete. Good service as well. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Kevin Conroy

Good neighborhood pizza joint with gluten free options

Yo! tuba

Come here for great food, excellent customer service, service that will accommodate to dietary restrictions(my sister is gluten free- for once it was no problem! They have their own gluten free pasta to be subbed in with pretty much any entree) and surprisingly cheap for a lot of food!

Kev & Jas Wiggins

I wish I knew this was so close to me sooner! Service was great! The food came out fast and it was good. They have gluten free option and Turkey options. And the prices were comparable. Would recommend going for a cool upscale diner feel. (And they made my daughters pancakes into Minnie Mouse…so cool)

Danny Farrar

Food quality and quantity is mind blowing. If you leave hungry you did something wrong. The waiter was very knowledgeable on Gluten Free options. Highly recommend this Gem

Emma Kessler

I just moved to Richmond and my friend recommended Arianna's. I placed my first order from here plus a 20% tip last night for a gluten free cheese pizza assuming it would be delivered in under 2 hours. It was not. I called twice to check on the status- the first time after an hour and the second 30 minutes later. I was told it would be delivered in 10 minutes. At that point it still wasn't delivered for another 30 minutes. At the time of the second call they were very dismissive. I had en event and couldn't wait after 2 hours for the pizza and left my apartment. I'm not sure if pick up is any faster, but the delivery guy was very understanding when he called. I would appreciate a refund.

Layla Todd

Generous portions of diner-style breakfast and sandwiches. Limited vegetarian and vegan options available but the kitchen can make adjustments for gluten free and dairy free eaters. The chicken salad is very good and the sandwiches in general are sizable. Cocktails and coffees available; the house special coffee is very buttery due to the caramel and has a limited coffee flavor. Fun interior decoration and a lively atmosphere. Recommend for family dining and a filling bite on a cold morning.

Katzbalger001

Lunch order for my wife and I, two pizza slices for me and a gluten free spaghetti with meat sauce for my wife. Service was nice and reasonably fast. Love their pizza.

lauren leggett

Pretty good gluten-free pizza and pasta and of course, good mozzarella. Not a lot of variety for me in my food choices but my friends report enjoying the sandwiches.

Jon Matlock

This is a great Thai restaurant. My wife has several food allergies (gluten being one of the biggest ones) and they've always been very accommodating. The lunch menu is very reasonably priced and is a good portion size. Dinner is more expensive, but you at least get more food. The service is super quick and the food always arrives hot. I also like that you can get different spice options with everything (mild, medium, American hot and Thai hot). Overall a great place to eat!

Jasmine Payton

You get a really good serving of toppings on the spicy avocado toast so it’s my favorite and they have gluten free bread. Love this place.

Blue Cow has some delicious ice cream. Their flavors are great and taste very rich; I love being able to take my gluten free family members here as it’s a delicious treat I know everyone will enjoy. There’s plenty of flavor profiles for everyone. It’s a nice spot to hang out. The environment is always very clean. However, the customer service is extremely hit or miss. I’ve come in several times and had stellar service, with everyone being incredibly helpful and super friendly. Other times, you get the vibe the employees don’t want to be there. Once I came 8 minutes prior to closing to quickly grab a treat to go, and the girl working saw me, power walked towards the door, and tried to lock it in my face, lol. They reluctantly let me in after I pointed out the hours nicely and told them I already knew what I wanted and was getting it to-go, but the other staff were obviously irritated with me even though I was in and out in under 2 minutes. I know it’s frustrating to serve towards the end of your shift when you're nearly closed, and I’m sure other customers have seriously overstayed long after closing time, so I understand where they’re coming from, but it was still a weird interaction. Ultimately, that hasn’t deterred me from coming back again during the middle of the day— the ice cream really is so delicious, and in a convenient spot.

Brandi Lilly

My family enjoyed our time at the Drive Shack in Short Pump! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Abbie S. went above and beyond in helping me find gluten free options. She was amazing! We always have fun!

Mara

My favorite restaurant in all of Richmond. It's very expensive, I spend a min of $50 but it feeds me for 4 days lol. I always get it to go bc I can't eat enough to make a dent in their giant servings, and bc when I try to pour into the to go containers, I spill half of it on the table. They can do gluten free hot pot!! And not the dumb chicken stock or veggie stock only stuff.

Laetitia Steinier

Carmen was so lovely this evening and was very accommodating with my my celiac disease. I had a great experience!

TheHawksTV

There’s a new dining establishment in Short Pump—Clean Eatz. Just as the name implies, they offer meal choices for clean, healthy eating. Are you on a gluten free diet? Well, they have you covered for that too. There’s seating inside if you want to eat in. You also have the option to take your meal to go. There are several meal choices from bowls to flatbreads and even dessert. They also have smoothies. If you prefer to leave the cooking to them, then you can purchase meals to go and heat them at home or work. There’s something for everyone on the menu.

Kayla K

We love it here, fun atmosphere with great drinks and awesome sushi 🍣 I am celiac and they do not have many gluten free items outside of the sushi. They do carry gluten free soy sauce.

Mike Garrett

Not a lot on the menu that’s totally gluten-free, but they are very, very accommodating for celiac for what items can be made without gluten.

Richard T bo

The food is great. I'm not going to give them a negative review but I do have a critique. They are listed on uber eats as open until 9 pm, but they regularly stop taking orders around 8pm. Just change your hours to 8 pm! It's easy. Also, they have gluten free options, but they don't offer them online. Again, great food, but as is the case with a lot of good restaurants, they need a manager willing to tighten up the online ordering experience.

Jacquelyn Craig

Gluten free cauliflower crust is pretty freaking awesome 😎 Always good and fast service. Decent price.

Paul Drew

Fish quality was great. Service was great. Prices were much higher than normal places and it seemed everything included tempura. I struggle to only give 4 stars but I need to be real with the experience. If I lived here and it was a close option, I would be back. They did have gluten free soy sauce for which I am grateful.

H. Iván González

Excellent family friendly atmosphere, awesome ✌🏼😎 food, Friendly 😊 service, delicious yet healthy food 🥘 choices, Reasonably priced 💵 with Lots of Gluten-Free options 🎉. Definitely coming back again soon.

Arek Tupko

Always a pleasant experience and with great gluten free options.

Devin&Karina Blanton

Do not hesitate on making a reservation to Perry’s at Short Pump! Contrary to all the negative reviews we had an amazing experience. The staff was on point with exceptional customer service. The steak and seafood were cooked to perfection. The salads were amazing especially the Caesar salad and wedge salad. We celebrated a birthday and they went above and beyond to make it feel extra special. Excellent food options for gluten free, vegan options and everything was cooked to perfection. We ordered the steak and seafood and everything was cooked perfectly! We plan to return to celebrate our anniversary. The bar area was just as beautiful as the dining area and the food and service was phenomenal. The entire restaurant is managed well and the food was all cooked perfect and no issues occurred. The desserts and wine were amazing. We had an amazing experience and we look forward to returning soon!

Peter Russo

We enjoy sitting and eating at the bar here. Very attentive and friendly bar staff. Only place my wife can get a gluten-free Daura beer that we know about in the area. We've sat for apps or dinner, either way. The bar is lively in the evenings, especially on weekends. Also a great place for groups, my work colleagues love coming here as well for team dinners.

Simon Shaw

We live out of town and were visiting our family members in Henrico. It was our first experience ordering from Redemption. I have a family member who has rigid dietary restrictions, specifically Gluten allergies. During the day before placing my order, I called the store three (3) times and asked about certain ingredients in their foods. Each time the nice person on the phone assisted me with a pleasant and patient response. So that evening, we placed our order and EVERYONE just raved about the taste, quality and quantity of the meal we purchased. Am so excited about ordering our next family meal very soon. Thanks for a great 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 experience!

Vicci Varner

Consistently good quality, no matter which one I go to. They have provisions to make it possible for my celiac son and I to enjoy it together.

Anne-Marie Leake

The proprietor is delightful and the Venezuelan pancakes are a delicious savory treat! We will be back to try more! Happy to see gluten-free pancakes on the menu.

Andrea Yeong

Fantastic food for a good price. Good vegan and gluten free options. Service is very helpful and efficient. Great spot for a good meal and a margarita after work with friends.

Anne Edge

They had great accommodations for our gluten free issues. Service was fast and friendly

Elizabeth Brooks

The food was delicious and very flavorful. The grilled salmon dinner was the best I had in a long time. They use sushi grade salmon and it was grilled just perfectly. Grilled flavor on the outside and tender meat in the center. Did not feel like a heavy meal at all. Was full and satisfied. Lots of gluten free options clearly marked

Kerry-Ann Parsons

Quiet, spacious coffee shop with pastries and sandwiches. If you're like me and gluten, dairy and soy free, it's hard to find something to eat at any Starbucks. The kinds bars have soy and the marshmallow dream bars have dairy. If you need a quick caffeine hit and have intolerances like I do, the espresso is my go to. Jackie on the register was a pleasure to interact with. They also have a drive thru at this location.

April DRL

Amazing food, and they have gluten-free alternatives. We will definitely going back again.
