Top 8 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Ridge and Richmond

Is there a perfect restaurant? This is as close as I've seen. The food is incredible, the atmosphere amazing, and the entire staff was very friendly. This is a habit forming restaurant. Their gluten free menu has a wide variety of delicious items.

The KalelFan

It has some of the kindest staff members I have met. This is why the 3 exists. If you have severe food allergies, it is not a place for you unless you are there to enjoy bevs. I am not sure why it has been RVAs best as the food is as common as elsewhere BUT as I mentioned before, the folks make you feel like you are wanted and in a time where this is not common, it is appreciated. The salmon is not wild and cut super thick for sashimi. None of this means anything unless it is important to you, so please understand my position. People were smiling, enjoying the food, and atmosphere. For me or people allergic to sesame, gluten, and mushroom, I would recommend Carytown Sushi instead.

Three years ago I stopped by here on a whim. I had gotten tired of eating at the same restaurants, and wanted to try something different. Thank God I did! I’m gluten free and dairy free (and very picky), and can dine here with no issues. The food has always been great. Most importantly, I made friends with the owner, Tom, during my frequent visits. Tom works very hard and puts his all into this place. I’ve observed him dealing with his regulars, with the new folks, and with the not-so-nice folks. He handles everything with such grace! I’ve since brought other members of my family, and he always asks about them. The other servers who have been there awhile know my face and always ask where I have been if it’s been some time since I last visited. Although I work in a different city now, I still do my best to come back here because this place is so special. If you haven’t tried Pho1Grill yet, please do! :D

Myself and my party had a wonderful brunch. We were celebrating a successful bridal dress pick and engagement. Our waitress Sophie was lovely. Drinks and good was overall tasty. I was glad my vegan and gluten intolerant friends were able to find food they enjoyed. One of the shrimp dishes had a sauce that needed more body, but overall it was a good experience. Definitely would come again!

Standard red robin experience. We were told it's a 15 mins wait but we got a table in 5. When we went in almost half the restaurant was empty (they got a big place). Decent vegan, gluten free and vegetarian options available. The staff was patient and respectful.

I worked with Tarrant’s to host my sister’s baby shower brunch and they were the best from start to finish! They were so responsive answering all my planning questions, great mocktails, customized the menu for gluten-free guests. Their sunroom was elegant and didn’t need much decoration and it was a huge success. I’d recommend them for any special occasions such as showers or rehearsal dinners.

The food here is very fresh tasting and the wait is pretty short. We had absolutely no problems. I am newly gluten and dairy free and there were several options for me here, which is rare.
