Top 45 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Fairfax

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.

The silver diner is a great restaurant, offering a variety of foods vegan as well as all gluten-free, many of choices. You can ask for breakfast, also can have lunch or dinner our during breakfast hours. Sebastian was our server today he has a great personality, quick server and very polite. I would recommend the silver diner if you’re in the Fairfax area.

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!

Asked for gluten free brisket and they were super responsive and careful about it. Great food, and nice job overall. Recommend the brisket and fries.

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.

Love stopping in here for quick lunches. Fast and friendly customer service. They are generous with sauces and toppings and love that they have Gluten friendly crust options as well as a cauliflower crust.

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...

Healthy and delicious. Not a greasy spoon type breakfast but a healthy and delicious restaurant. Love this place. Eat here once or twice a month. They do Gluten Free so the wife is able to enjoy as well.

This is by far my favorite Chuy's location. Manager Amin and his team make everyone feel like family, ensuring a warm and welcoming experience. Their gluten-free options are plentiful and delicious, making it a safe haven for my gluten-intolerant wife and kids.

Food is fantastic. My personal Go-To meal when visiting High Side is a starter of Edamame followed with their Gluten Free Popcorn Chicken over rice. They finish the dish with mama picked cucumbers and a sunny side up egg over the top of the chicken and rice. Delish!

Tori McGill

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

Came here with my son and his Grandma after shoe shopping and had an excellent lunch! We checked every ingredient to make sure my son was safe with his dairy allergy. The 2 servers assisting us worked as a team and made the experience seamless. We've eaten here before and I have gotten sick(Celiac) so I was nervous and the server took extra care and even recommended gluten free items with reduced cross contamination risk and helped me order a delicious cheesecake!

Julie Parsley

The food was great and the also had gluten free (lettuce wrap for burgers) and vegan alternatives (veggie burgers but no alternative for the custard though). They were extremely fast as well.

Angie Shelton

I love this place! You won’t be disappointed with anything you order. Corn tortillas are gluten free but warmed on the same grill as the flour tortillas. Ask that they keep the foil under the tortillas while warming them. This helps cut down on the cross contamination.

Harvey (Bitrex)

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

Hebe Random

Great atmosphere & nice staff. Food and coffee were great and service was fast. They have good options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diets.

Guapos truly knows how to tantalize your taste buds with their authentic Mexican cuisine. I ordered the tacos Al pastor, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. Freshly prepared right at our table, it was creamy, flavorful, and simply delicious. Their menu offered a wide range of options, and everything we ordered was bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. The fajitas were sizzling and flavorful, the enchiladas were rich and savory, and the tacos were packed with mouthwatering goodness. I also appreciated that they had options for various dietary preferences, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. The service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were more than willing to answer our questions and make recommendations, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. To top it all off, the piña coladas were exceptional! The combination of excellent food, inviting ambiance, and top-notch service makes this place a gem worth revisiting. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just craving some delicious Mexican cuisine, Guapos is the place to be! I can't wait to return and explore more of their delectable menu. Highly recommended!

Jenny was amazing! Disappointed that you all did away with the gluten free pancakes. Please bring them back!

One of the best gluten free pizza. Good pizza, fast service and very polite service by the delivery driver. Loved the pizza. Highly recommended.

Dustin Jutras

In an emergency situation, the drunken noodle lunch special can feed a family of four for three months. Very wonderful and friendly service. The panang curry has consistently seemed safe for my gluten-intolerant wife.

Great food and friendly service! I love to sit outside on the deck. They are able to accommodate those with special dietary needs. I need gluten free and dairy free. Gluten free buns are available upon request. GF buns need an extra few minutes to defrost the in the oven but it’s worth the wait. Or you can call ahead. I loved my lobster roll and the coleslaw too!

We had a great family dinner here. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. Great kids meals. The perfect size and easy to take to go if needed. Gluten friendly and carb friendly options are available. It was nice that they also offer a real silverware. The vegetables and mushrooms were cooked just right, not mushy.

love, love, loveeeee this place. new favorite hangout in mosaic district. it's cozy (read: small) and trendy, with a large bar. you can order charcuterie from a list set up like a sushi menu...which is fun. the meat cuts are amazing. i've gotten two different burgers..but my favorite dish, by far, is the rotisse-fried chicken. it's mind-blowingly delicous and fun fact: it's gluten free, too. do yourself a favor and order the beef fat fries and voila...perfect meal. other notes: they have a huge selection of beer and wine, no vegetarian options (i think...maybe brussel sprouts?), and the pork rinds are my fav app. enjoy!

This is a good place to go if you are looking for healthy snacks, Meal even. It was very filling. There is lots of options, gluten free too.

Zoltan Feng

Amazing selection of delicious Indian prepared foods as well as ingredients. I was so happy to find gluten free frozen chapati (a type of flatbread) and beautiful exotic frozen vegetable mixes and fruits. I'm a regular at multiple Asian markets and this is by no means redundant. Staff were very helpful to me as an outsider : )

Dawn Lockwood

I am not from VA, was here visiting, and this was an incredibly nice surprise! The food was fantastic! I have soy and gluten allergies, and they actually had quite a few items I could order! The staff were professional, worked with us, and the restaurant was clean and packed with people! You would have never known due to the efficiency with the staff.

C Baquiran

We ordered online for takeout, and got a variety of noodle dishes with turkey meatballs, tofu and chicken. Portions are a decent size. It's not extremely salty which I appreciate. I like the gluten free options too. We thought the noodles were on the dry side and could use more sauce. The red curry Thai sauce could use more flavor, it was fairly muted. Overall it made for a healthier lunch. I'd order again and ask for extra sauce.

Katharine Oshea

I love First watch! Always accommodating for gluten-free options Delicious food!

Dianna Chambers

A very relaxing place and being that I’m gluten-free with a very serious allergy, they actually took the time to talk to me and explain what I could and could not eat. They were very knowledgeable about the menu and that says a lot about customer service alone. Food was very delicious. Very easy-going to order laid-back and would highly recommend.

I called to ask if it was possible to accommodate someone with celiac disease. The man who answered the phone simply said “huh?” Which is fine, so I explained further, and he just hung up on me.
