Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Norfolk

Lots of healthy options. I tried their sausage biscuit and Cyprus side salad. The biscuit was good but the salad was stellar! So fresh and delicious. The dressing so light and flavorful. They had lots of gluten free and vegan options. Enjoyed the inside, very warm and inviting.

10/10, this is one of my favorite restaurants to go to, I have Celiac so finding gluten free options are hard but they even have a gluten free menu with plenty of delicious options! I've had 2 different burgers and pizza as well as their lava cake and all were absolutely divine.

We were there Dec.8th,Sunday 6:30pm. As soon as we stood to order, no one recognized our presence. The guy and lady just went on with what they’re doing. Not busy, it’s just us waiting. 2 people seated. They could’ve at least say, We’ll be with you or something. Instead, they just made us wait for about 3mins. We ordered Bacon and brie pasta which is the only one that’s ok that’s why I gave a 2 star. The Supreme pizza and a gluten-free pizza are so dry and tasteless. This is also the dirtiest location we’ve been to. I hope the owner/manager will address the performance of their staff. The attitude they reflected shows that they’re not happy with what they do.

This place was absolutely amazing! The gluten free bread was so good! The fries were amazing and served in a huge portion which was great for sharing! Would highly recommend eating here if you are near Norfolk area.

It has been a while since we visited Taste. Historically have had good service but today even though we clearly stated gluten free due to allergy there was a croton in my wife salad and she got cross contaminated. I took the salad to the staff and they offered to make it again. The second salad had other items not Gluten-free. Very disappointed as they used to have dedicated station for making Gluten-free orders.

We were visiting last spring from the Midwest, and I kept hearing recommendations from locals to eat here… it was wonderful! The church building, the location (we had a fantastic walk all around the neighborhood and waterfront after dinner), and the food were all perfect!!! I have celiac, and their GF options were delicious and I didn’t get sick. My husband and I hope to return one day!

Chris McCabe

Amazing location with Gluten Free Breakfast options. Super accommodating for our celiac family. Our server felt like a family member serving us at a home cooked meal. This location is in the top 3 best gluten free breakfast we've ever been too in the US. Thanks for a great experience!

Delicious pizzas and wide variety of gluten free options. They even had the courtesy of putting the gluten free pizzas in a separate take out bag. Will definitely be back.

Esther Daily

Really enjoyed the cool decor and the classy vibe of this place. The food was amazing -- I got the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free bread, and it was delicious. The bread was so good, especially for gluten free! Ordered a coconut macaroon as well, and it was perfect. Wonderful service!

My family came to celebrate a birthday. My son has a food allergy. The server Carson told me that they couldn't do anything to accommodate my son, and this is a seafood restaurant. I said to Carson we go to many seafood restaurants like captain George and they accommodate us.So I asked for the manager. The manager which informed me that the owners daughter has celiac and they use the over for her so I was like please do that for my son.

Joshua Seagrave

The food is delicious and they have good gluten free options. I appreciate the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Their portions are large; come hungry!

Rachel Schardt

Omg best ever! They were constantly changing gloves. I got the chicken shawarma bowl and was so happy that I had gluten-free options. The fries were amazing and the Turkish coffee was spot on!

Adrian Taylor

Good googly moogly this place has great food. And an entire vegan menu if you like me crave vegan food other than veggie burgers you love a good falafel and addicted to good hummus. Come here immediately. PS they also have a vegan and gluten-free brownie. I wanted to order everything on the menu and I think I did.

Suzanne DeGroat

My kiddo loves the coffee and gluten free bagels. Great for gluten sensitivity individuals.

Russell Lee G

Great coffee and some baked products. I didn't look but I assume they have some gluten free products and probably breakfast choices. Love the ambiance.

Jeremiah Ensor

Joseph Snodgrass

A great find. The pizzas are perfect. In fact the gluten free one my friend let me taste was practically indistinguishable from the regular pizza I had. Prices were very reasonable. Staff were very friendly. My go to in Norfolk.

Kelley Sarsfield

My mom cannot eat gluten and their pizzas are baked all in the same over so she wasn’t able to eat anything but a salad, even though the menu includes “gluten-friendly” pizza crusts. Line workers all disappeared when me and my family were next in line and had little to no knowledge about cross-contamination with gluten. Our uncooked pizzas were sitting on the line waiting to be put in the oven while the one line worker made our salads, which extended our time in line. The people behind us had their food put in the oven before ours which confused us. We were in line for probably 45 minutes before we payed, then had to wait longer for our pizzas to finish cooking. Everyone seemed to be upset with us as we were waiting. Honestly I couldn’t wait to leave, felt so uncomfortable.

ANTHONY Smith-Benoit

The food was amazing and the service was superior. Dawn did an amazing job serving the guests. She is hilarious and makes fabulous recommendations. I didn't catch the bartender name but he was very funny and made excellent drinks. This place would make a great date night or hang out with friends. The menu is delicious and fun and has something for everyone. Vegan and gluten friendly items.

Nina

If you are locking for a true farm to table, this is it. Lots of vegetarian options as well as gluten free. My roast beef sandwich was delicious.

Jean Rosalia

Always a fantastic meal whether you're dining in or ordering takeout. Generous portions and gluten free!!

I go here to get gluten friendly pancakes. The service was good. The food was also good.

Rachel C

Solo date at Press 626 Wine Bar. Hidden gem in Norfolk Downtown. Craft cocktails and amazing food. Fresh “Non-alcoholic Cucumber Mint Fresh Squeezed Spritzer”, “Australian Lamb Chops” were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly, gluten free and the miso tahini hummus with mint chimichurri that came with it was so tasty and of course I had to try their vegan “Mezze Cheese Board”, as a cheese lover is mandatory! Press 626 was amazing, great atmosphere, outstanding costumer service, my bartender Betti was super nice and welcoming. This place is very casual for a fancy place. Definitely recommend if you pass through Norfolk, I personally loved it.

Michelle Moats

My husband enjoys his build your sandwich. He comments that the bread is excellent. I have been disappointed the last few times I've ordered his sandwich there was no gluten free bread available for me to get a sandwich. I hope they will get the gluten free bread back. I enjoy the provolone amore.

I have loved Razzo since their old location and family and friends have followed to their new location. If anything it has gotten better. The best thing for me is I have celiac disease (gluten free) and they have always taken care of me. Tonight I got the best tasting Veal Francese gluten free with no problems with the friendliest hostess and waitress. As a business owner myself I knew I needed to let them know how much my friend, son and I enjoyed the meal and will continue to come back as we have for years. Cheers!

Ordered pad Thai with chicken breast (meat cost extra). Pad Thai was missing chicken, had a yellowed dehydrated lime wedge next to it, and doesn't seem traditional. Seems Americanized and very few gluten-free, dairy free options. 3.5/10, not impressed

Charley Martin

Delicious food and great service! The guys here are awesome - so friendly and genuine. I've yet to encounter any of them in a bad mood much less providing anything other than great service! If you have celiac disease it is safe to eat here! If you ask for a lettuce bun they always ask if you have an allergy and if so they take precautions to ensure no cross contamination. You can also eat the french fries!!! Love this place!!

Ryan Alexander

First time coming to the shop at Premium Outlets. I got the steak and egg absolutely positively delicious! The two young ladies working very friendly and accommodating to my gluten free allergy (celiac). Jada and Tink really good hires great energy and vibes hire more people like them!!

Jack

So good. I did the grab and go and I’m such a happy girl with the chicken salads here. My only “wish” is that they added a gluten free bread type option

Karen Beltethon

My husband decided to have lunch here yesterday since we had previously been to a different location. We chose this due to the gluten free pizza and faux cheese since I can’t have gluten or dairy. A few hours after eating, I became very sick and am still sick today. The pizza absolutely had gluten in it, and I specifically told the waitress I am extremely sensitive to gluten and dairy. What a shame that our family day turned into back to back sick days. This is especially true because we paid a decent amount of money for our food, and I do not appreciate paying for one thing and receiving another.

First, there was Elle (“Ellie”), our superb, professional, well-informed server. A veteran of restaurant work, and thoroughly precise in her entire presentation. Then, there was the food. Outstanding in preparation, quality of ingredients, and flavor combinations. The iceberg salad boasted a stunning array of flavors and garnishes and an emulsified, balsamic vinaigrette. My oysters Rockefeller were forgettable yet tasty, just not the classic I had expected. My wife had the crispy whole (boneless!) trout, and I had a fabulous roasted whole (boneless!) branzino. Both fishes were garnished with some splashes of frissee lettuce, with a sweet, subtle lemon vinaigrette. I didn’t care for the succotash because it included soy beans instead of lima beans. A disappointing, inappropriate blend of corn, carrots, and edamame. Lima beans makes succotash authentic, and this was a strange departure. The passionfruit white chocolate mousse chocolate bomb was a great dessert, well worth trying because it was gluten-free and so satisfying. This was a fabulous experience at Saltine.

Krissy Fulton

Blanca is consistently amazing. We started with the fritto misto and omg! Its light and delicious and gluten free! You’d never know it. I had the shrimp risotto and it was simply perfection. I took my dad and he said it was the best shrimp he’s ever had. A delightful experience. Courtney continues to create a wonderful menu. Stefan was attentive and friendly. What a gem to have in the neighborhood!!

Karen Rachael Buttler

Sweet Hot Dog grill. They have a lot of hot dog/ sausage options, including a vegi dog and gluten-free bun. The decor is cute, pit bull themed.

Lois Withers

Great good. Need gluten free bread.

Jenny Cunningham

Great atmosphere. Great selection. Comfortable seating area with a relaxed vibe. I usually order online because the menu is so great. I was pleasantly surprised when I went in person. I usually get Coffee which is great but this time I got a smoothie which was also excellent. The smoothie bowls are really good too, they are always filled with fresh fruit and the presentation is beautiful. They do have a gluten free bagel option. The bagel is a little dense honestly but it's nice to have the option.

Kristin Reeves-Hall

Best wings with gluten free options. Water was beautiful and restaurant was clean and relaxing

Max Erin James

Well, first of all, I loved the consideration of my date's sensitivity to gluten. The chef was able to make everything gluten free and the food was incredible! The crab cakes my date had were the best part of the meal. The waitress was very kind, nice, and didn't bother us over and over. It was inconvenient that the two wines ordered were not in stock, but the wine given was good and I liked the taste. The place was very clean and the environment was calming, quiet, and cozy. It did not feel crowded or congested, even with a large group near us. The atmosphere was welcoming and we really enjoyed ourselves. The location is right near a parking garage and downtown so it is convenient to get to. Now, the dessert was delicious. We shared a dark chocolate cake. I am a simple man so that was all I needed and she really enjoyed it. There was a lot on the menu I wanted to try, so maybe we will be back soon. I recommend this place as a date. It is not too formal but dress nice.

Tara Driggers

It is so hard for this guy to make his "Phil Face" but today he made it! I heard about this restaurant and I really wanted to go! Roof top vibe is what I wanted! So I picked the place for date night 🌙 this time! Wow wow and more wow! It was busy so there was the expected delay with the food! Worth the wait! Amen! Pescatore pasta! Amazing! But his choice the chicken with the gluten free outside. Omg! He said kiss the chef for me! So thanks 😊 to Leone's for allowing me the huge win in date night! Molly was a fabulous server! I never felt unattended even being on the roof! Also side note I called the restaurant due to parking difficulties and the person who answered the phone actually knew the status of the 2 parking lots which allow you to park and dine there! Now to me that was impressive. Especially with all the local events going on in the Area! We shall be back for sure! Thank you everyone. 😊

I had a lunch and a dinner. Both were bowls, both were fabulous. The cocktails are unique and delicious. They have gluten free options as well.

Joyce Drakeford

Gluten free options. Get there early because it is popular for brunch on Sundays. Delicious options. You have to try the home fries!!

Sky Sol

Awesome ribs, awesome fries. And both gluten free! God bless you!

Karen Rachael Buttler

This was our first visit as a we will definitely go back. Coffee and tea were both good. We had avocado toast and a Cuban on a gluten free bun. Both were excellent. The server was also very nice. The inside decor was a bit eclectic and comfortable cafe style. I would have given 5 stars, but the outside seating could use some attention. We chose to go there because the have outdoor seating and we liked to take our doggo. The server brought her a bowl of water and was very welcoming. If the patio had been better cared for- swept, etc.. it would instantly have become my new favorite place. Again, we'll definitely go back. Also, plus points for the GF options.

Dorchester Apartments

Had brunch this morning with Michelle and Tony and was first time eating here was totally awesome! Loved the food and service was very friendly feel at home place. Can’t wait to go back and try dinner lots of gluten free choices.

Rachel Schardt

Clearly marked gluten free options, no skimping on portions, our server was spot on with recommendations, they have NA beers and low alcohol beers. Knowledgeable about the liquor they serve.

Samantha Lee

When we arrived at 7:30pm on a Saturday, we were told that the inside was packed and our only option was to sit in the heated and covered dining area. The heater above our head was louder than the music. For drinks, my fiance enjoyed a pint of New Realm Hazy Like A Fox, while I enjoyed an Arnold Palmer made with Sweet Tea. We weren't super hungry. Jodi enjoyed Salmon Capri made gluten-free. Kevin enjoyed Fresh Clams Strip Basket and a side of fries. I loved how they were crispy. My fiance and I shared a bowl of She Shore Crab Soup, a half dozen of Raw Oysters, and a Bucket of Clams. The She Shore Crab Soup consisted of heavy cream, crabmeat, old bay, and a hint of sherry. It was rich and creamy and tad bit too spicy for me. The Raw Oysters were fresh and served with lemon wedge, cocktail sauce, and horseradish. I was surprised it didn't come with a mignonette. The Bucket of Clams consisted of a bowl of littleneck clams cooked in garlic, butter, white wine, and basil and served with a toasted rustic bread. It was extremely garlicky and salty. My fiance didn't mind it but I wasn't a fan.
