Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Fairfax

Not Celiac safe. Went there for lunch yesterday and my wife got glutened by cross contamination.

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.

Omg, I wish I had discovered this place sooner! I can’t eat gluten or dairy and this place was such a find for my restricted diet! As well as a great find for people with regular diets! I had a savory and sweet crepe and both were perfection!

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)

A little loud, but phenomenal spot. Tons of gluten free options. Fast service and extremely affordable. The app to order makes splitting checks way less awkward. I recommend if you are ordering for you and your partner, sit next to them if you are in a group. It makes it way easier to know what’s yours.

Both the reviews online and their online menu state that they have gluten free noodles. However, when I called and spoke to the restaurant, they confirmed that they do not. Disappointing.

Best pizza outside of NY! Amazing gluten free pizza too!

Met up with a friend here since it was a mid-way point between DC and Manassas and she needed gluten free options. Hadn't been here since pre-COVID, but it is still awesome! Service was great, food options are plentiful, and all the dog-named menu items are always fun. Melted Brie on sandwiches are sooo good. And my friend said the GF crust on her pizza was the best she's had. (BTW, if we could get a Prince William County location that would be GREAT)

In its "glory days" it was ranked in 2017 & 2020 as the "Best Food Allergy Champion" for their extensive allergy menus and their preparation for making food safely. These are proudly listed on their website too. In fact it used to be a safe go-to place for me as GD had many Gluten Free options. I could even get loaded fries that were safe! Due to the change in ownership the company as a whole has gotten rid of the dedicated fryers and significantly reduced the GF menu. Big bummer and crumby of the company to disregard so many of their customers. I've had several worsening experiences but this takes the cake. The grilled wings continuously come out charred and inedible. Spending $53 and 19 out of my 24 wings ordered were charred to a crisp...

4 stars because before I became gluten free for health reasons, tony’s was my favorite pizza place. unfortunately it was the worst gluten free pizza i’ve ever had. the crust was crumbly and chewy, not crispy and fresh like their regular pizza crust. I couldn’t even get through 2 pieces. it was not good, please consider trying a new gf crust.

“Market Rate” fish got me! Always ask what the price is if the menu said “Market Rate!” $30 surprise bill for a gluten free entree! And the fish was maybe 4 oz, 2 stalks of asparagus and a lump of mashed potatoes. Yes it was delicious but far from worth $30! Left me feeling ripped off.

Fantastically pleasant staff and a wonderful selection of gluten-free options! Absolutely recommended and well worth every penny.

Thank you so much for the amazing food at our end of year teacher luncheon last week. Truly, something for everyone! Our school staff is a mix of carnivores, vegetarians, vegans, gluten intolerant, and picky eaters ( that's me!) So many of us went back for seconds. I am planning on coming to your restaurant with my husband soon. The four stars for atmosphere, is ONLY because our luncheon was held in OUR elemtary school cafeteria.

The food was good but my daughter is very sensitive to gluten and we emphasized to keep it gluten free because of her allergies. We ordered panang curry and pad see ew which say they are gluten free, however, after eating my daughter's stomach started hurting. I think there may have been some sort of cross-contamination. I hope that this problem can be avoided in the future because when someone says something is gluten free that means there shouldn't be any gluten.

The best burgers I've ever had! I'm gluten free so I was so excited to eat a burger on a bun! The service was a bit slow, but we were a large group so I can't hold this against them. The young man who waited on us was delightful. He checked on us numerous times between waiting on other customers and cleaning tables. The music was a bit loud for my taste, but I'm sure it suits a younger clientele. During our short stay in Fairfax we went back a second time, which says a lot. Overall, it is a bit pricey but a super great burger! Update: I read some reviews mentioning the ordering kiosk. There is one there and you are encouraged to use it, but I was with some older people who wanted to order the old-fashioned way, with a human. 😄 The young man working the floor said he understood and gladly took our orders.

The Italian deli subs are great! I appreciate the gluten-free bread! Thank you for supporting Fairfax CASA by donating all sales today - wow!!

We went to Ocean Paradise tonight for a celebration and loved it! Katie, the waitress, was so incredibly sweet. We had a lot of questions, and she was extremely patient with us and answered all of them! Everyone in our party also really enjoyed their food! I had the lobster pasta (gluten free) - the lobster was one of the best I have had especially in this area. The lobster was so sweet and tender and cooked to perfection! The gluten free pasta was cooked perfectly-which most places do not know how to do! My husband had the Connecticut style lobster roll, and he agreed the lobster was amazing. My daughter had the seafood platter, and she really enjoyed her meal as well. We had key lime pie for desert and loved it! Believe the reviews on this one-I am extremely picky.

I get Roots at least once a week and it is consistently delicious and service is top notch! I have a few dietary restrictions and it is very gluten free friendly. The key differentiators of Roots to other fast casual restaurants is that they ALWAYS give great portions and the staff is so, so notably friendly! Yesterday, we went an hour before closing and there was definitely enough chicken for my bowl, but it was the last bit. Instead of giving me this, they made a new batch which was so unexpected and nice. I will always come back!

Absolutely amazing! I can’t have gluten and they went out of their way to make sure I wasn’t going to have any issues with cross contamination, kept me informed of all of the options available to me, and just generally made it a wonderful experience. The manager is fantastic and I will be going back
