Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Virginia Beach

S Smith

Great place for seafood and Gluten Free dining. We went for dinner and lunch both. The servers were fun and personable but they can be a little slow. It's worth it though. The food was great and there are numerous GF options.

Ynot pizza has our go-to place for years. They take great care in preparing Gluten Free food. We feel safe with their food handling practices.

After several poor attempts at gluten free eats, we finally made it to Whiskey Kitchen. First of all a Celiac heaven. I had crab cakes, which were amazing, fries (they have a dedicated fryer) and slaw. My fiance is from the DMV and had the crab cakes as well. He said they were true crab cakes and the best he’s had in a long time. We didn’t get dessert because our meals were huge. If you have Celiac or gluten intolerance, this is the best place in Virginia Beach.

Early 4:30 PM dinner on 5/2/25. * Note: You can use the public parking lot across the street for $6 an hour vs the valet at the restaurant. I don't want kids driving my vehicle. We have been coming to Virginia Beach off/on for 24 years and dining at Waterman's each trip. 3 years since our last visit. Walk in. No reservation. Seated promptly inside as requested. Our standard order for two orange crushes placed. These crushes had very little actual orange taste and more ice than drink. $9.25 each. We have the drink recipe from Waterman's and make them at home regularly with the original Burnett's orange vodka. These crushes were made with the new Waterman's orange branded vodka. Didn't order any more. My wife's salmon salad and crab cake were very good. My lobster tail and sides were also good. A lot of flies inside the restaurant detracted from the meal. *Note this review was completed without using ridiculous un-discriptive terms like out-of-bounds, OMG, on point, awesome, the bomb, yummy, delish, to die for, do yourself a favor, trust me, flavorful, or kids emojis etc.. Describe the food, service (or lack of) and provide details on the cost/copy of check and include pictures! Is the place clean? No disrespect to the employees, but no one cares about the waiter/waitress/clerk names, or if they look like they fell face first into a tackle box. They get changed like underwear and you don't get to pick one. We don't care about your allergies, vibes, how "chill" you feel, or the need for gluten free food. **If you see a Google review posted with just stars & no text, report it via the 3 dot selection adjacent to the review. If the text in the review doesn't describe the food/service report it. This cleans up Google reviews and removes the slugs just trying to get reviewer points by marking a star or "paid" reviewers. Process: Select - Report review. Select- Not helpful at the bottom of the drop down menu. If the review doesn’t help people decide whether to utilize this business or go to this place it's worthless.

We entertain our 'out of town' family every summer, and every year, they request Ynot Italian for a big family dinner. It's a place that never disappoints! Everyone finds a delicious choice for dinner, even our gluten free family members..with no fuss! The staff are very friendly and so efficient. It's a fantastic family restaurant!

Joshua Seagrave

Delicious menu and excellent service. The kids really enjoyed their homemade soda and waffles. I had the biscuits and gravy and my wife had the grits. They had gluten free options for her, although the selection was limited.

Karyn Palmer

Kirsten was such a great bartender! Made sure I was accommodated for my gluten allergy.

Session is an experience! If you, or your friends, are looking for vegan or gluten free options- but there are still some in your group that enjoy a traditional bacon and eggs breakfast- look no further. Session is the best of both worlds- coming together- holding hands and doing its own thing! With this being our second time there; we were just as impressed as we were with our first visit. Having a pet friendly patio allows your lil fur babies to come along for some fun. There "in da club" sandwhich is fresh, delicious, and will have you licking your plate clean. The fritata- a beautiful blend of mushroom, dill, and egg with a bed of fresh greens- was fluffy and packed with flavor. The "your dad's go to" was a mix of 2 eggs however you want them, bacon or sausage, hashbrown or root vegetables hash, with a side of greens served with toast, butter, and jam. Once again, Session delivered and surpassed expectations. Service was a 10/10, food was 10/10, and we will most certainly be back in the future for round #3! Keep up the great work and thank you for taking the time to read this review.

Cameron Miller

Great food with generous portions. Good gluten free options as well.

Lisa Caskey

The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and took their time to explain which foods were gluten free.

alex blackwell

Great place for gluten free Burger an chips.. we will for sure be back

Karol Hatten

As always, had a great sandwich... And the BEST gluten-free bread I've ever had.

Melissa Pulling

Smiling faces. Healthy options food and beverage to include delicious gluten free options. Parking can be a challenge. But be patient. It’s worth it !

Sherri DeMarino

Best Gluten Free Pizza in Virginia Beach!

Amy May

I love the gluten-free option for the bagel with vegetarian sausage! Great customer service as well as coffee. I highly recommend.

Robyn

This sandwich shop was the cutest with all of the fresh ready to meal items and then there's the actual sandwiches! VERY fresh, LOTS of fillings in the sandwich and TONS of flavor. Even better with my gluten allergy they had bread options and were careful to note my other for my safety. Definitely coming back!

Annette Legge

My Husband and I go to Rudee's each year after the VA BEACH BOAT SHOW. I now have to Gluten Free and was afraid there wouldn't be much I'd eat there now...I am beyond thankful to see ALL THE GF ITEMS!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SUCH A BIG GF MENU!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

Torren Gatena

The food was very good. My fiance has a severe gluten allergy due to celiac disease. She has an app that tells her gluten free safe spots and this location happens to be one. We ordered gluten free food for her, and they messed up by not recalling it to be gluten free.. no problem. They fixed it and we went to eat outside. My fiance went back inside to get cutlery for her food and overheard jokes being made about gluten free food by employees and a fellow customer.. She was very upset and it ruined how excited we were for for food.

Caridad Suave

Super happy with the Loaded Fries and Wine Country Salad (subbed in creamy balsamic dressing). They have gluten free options for pizza, and GF markings on their menu. Staff was nice.

Vianney Armer

Enjoy a solid brunch here! There’s many good food choices. Seating can accommodate small and large parties. Eggs Benedict are creative and worth a try! Big fan of the carnitas hash. One item is explicitly listed as gluten free, but there are many items that can be modified to support that dietary restriction. The kids menu has breakfast and lunch varieties. It’s inexpensive between $5-7. A drink is not included. Apple juice cup is an additional $3. My non-eater child happily ate his grilled cheese with fries. Enjoy a single mimosa for $4. That’s a win! The boozy coffee drinks are solid brunch drink choices. Customer service is great. The staff was friendly and chatted with my child. Overall, good place to enjoy brunch.

Jessica

The ambiance here is very nice, food is great, and they have gluten free options.

Chris McCabe

As always, a great gluten free option for us. The sandwiches on GF bread are great. Thank you.

Crystal Fallon

Coffee was so good! Food was fresh. They gave lots of gluten free choices!

Kat Smith

Our server was fantastic but the gluten free food was not. With such a large menu, you’d think they would have a gluten free chicken main dish. They don’t. The gf four cheese pasta was mushy and grainy which may have been from they brand of gf pasta they use or overcooking. For the price point, they could get a better quality pasta and some simple gluten free options for those who eat poultry. I would save your money if you have dietary restrictions. For the amount you spend, the quality is low.

Brittany A.

The service from Jeremiah and the rest of the crew was top tier and we enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant. I expected more from the basic Mac & Cheese which was just okay and the Vegan Delight was more pasta than anything else. We were happy they had gluten free pasta but honestly, weren't too impressed with our meal overall. The tator tots, however, were really good and seasoned well.

Abby Bain

Food is good and a lot of vegetarian and gluten free options. Just don’t come here for the service. They are slow (30 minute wait for soup and tacos…and it wasn’t very busy), the girl taking orders doesn’t know how to talk to people and made ordering really awkward, and they made a mistake on my food.

JC Karr

We enjoyed our breakfast. Wonderful north beach omellette. Just the right amount of crab and cheese. Ched Dean took care of my wifes allergies to gluten and soy. Its nerve wracking to eat out with allergies but our waitress Lalla did a great job of reassuring us. We did let them know ahead of our stay we were coming. I think thats very helpful for them.

Cheryl Steflik

My husband and I really enjoyed the brewery. The hazy IPA and burgers were delicious! And bonus points for them as they have various items that are gluten free.

David Brueggeman

Valet parking only. Stunning atmosphere, light and breezy Bohemian style. Chorizo omelette and cheese grits were fantastic (and heavy on the chorizo). Pancakes were thinner but very tasty. Service was great. A perfect brunch spot - just note that it is on the pricier side (but worth it). Gluten free items clearly marked on the menu and server & kitchen were responsive to GF order.

Lauren Perez

Sean, Leethan & Janet gave us exceptionally amazing service at the monthly wine dinner tonight. We had a guest who was Gluten intolerant… they went above and beyond to ensure her restrictions were met. The service was awesome the food was amazing and we can’t wait to come again !!!!

Bianca Loredo

A breakfast must! Stopping on our last day at the beach has become a tradition. The staff is so friendly, the food is delicious and they offer gluten free options! Plenty of parking and reasonably priced!

Allison DeWitt

My husband and I ate there this past Saturday night. From the moment we got to the front door, the staff were polite, welcoming and so accommodating! We sat at the bar and Bridgett, the bartender, was great! The food was also amazing! EVERYTHING was sooo good! My husband has a gluten allergy and they were so accommodating and have many gluten free options. We have lived nearby for 5 years and can't believe we are just now finding this gem of a restaurant.

Summary: Nicole was funny and friendly! Food was delicious (and had gluten free sandwich bread) prices were very decent for our large party. Sit by a window if you need extra light to read menu. We came in as a party of 5 of visitors (Army base nearby). Nicole waited on us and she was SUPER friendly and knowledgeable on all the menu items. She was patient and quickly brought our food out despite the lunch rush (which the food was delicious and had good portion sizes by the way). The shakes were amazing and I was pleasantly surprised by the gluten free bread substitute on my Reuben. The atmosphere was cozy, but we went on a day that didn't have a lot of natural light so I recommend if your party needs more light to see the menu, perhaps sit near a window. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time and the high reviews here aren't kidding!

Joyce Drakeford

I was extremely excited to find they can make nearly the entire menu gluten free! I am so excited to have a place sown the street. Food was great. Everyone was very friendly. Service was FAST!! Extensive menu and everything is very reasonably priced. I can't wait to eat here again!

Dora Davila

Tammy Treichel

Gluten free menu available. Great service! Very accommodating to food allergies.

Jessica Baynes

Very good attentiveness when it comes to customer service! A small yet good menu for Gluten-free meals with one dessert.

Pixgeek Photography

We came on the day the surges hit for Ophelia and this was a hidden gem! Staff was amazing, and allowed our doggie to be with us... we came in for breakfast and then had to have their supper too and everything was great! I appreciated their gluten free and healthy menu! For the price couldn't beat it.

Danielle Zornes

Food was ok but very dinner like. They only offer gluten free bread substitute. No pancakes, no bagel, and waffle options. Amazing service and very clean though!

Julie Cloninger

Good food (burger and salmon)and a lot of gluten-free options. Service was fast and paid attention to details. Fun atmosphere

Breanna Garcia

Off gluten free soy sauce option and a very knowledgeable staff

Leta Sharkey

Gluten free burgers and fries...fresh and made to order.

Stephanie Calcagno-McGill

Came here after my find my gluten free app suggested that it was a highly safe place to eat. Just 3 people in my party (2 adults 1 child). My waiter didn’t seem like he was particularly interested in talking to the kitchen about my intolerances (dairy, soy, and gluten). He didn’t write anything down and I had to confirm with him twice that he remembered them. The people at the bar were excessively loud and rowdy. After 45 minutes they informed me they were out of shrimp (the appetizer I ordered). After 70 minutes since being seated the food still hadn’t arrived. After 80 minutes of waiting the appetizer for the other 2 at my table came out. After almost 90 minutes since being sat my salad came out. They got my daughters wrong. The chicken on my salad was ice cold. I guarantee my waiter didn’t tell the staff about my allergies. Overall a really awful experience after being hopeful that I’d get a good, safe meal.

Emily Benson

Having Graze Kitchen cater my wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They crafted a gluten-free farm-to-table menu specifically for my husband and I's tastes. Everyone raved about the food at the wedding. Multiple people said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. One friend commented "there are few meals I will remember forever, but that was one of them." Not only was the food insanely delicious but the entire team was professional, friendly, and a joy to work with. If you're getting married in Hampton Roads, or hosting an event of any kind, do yourself a favor and book Graze Kitchen!

Steph Kinyon

The staff was super friendly. This was our first time eating at a Noodles and Company. The guy came over and went over the menu. My husband has to eat gluten free and they were able to accommodate him. The kids loved the mac and cheese.

Anthony Chapa

My favorite new breakfast stop, as a transplanted New Yorker it’s amazing to get Ess A Bagels in my backyard! The store is clean and beautiful and manned by a friendly and welcoming staff. My wife loves the gluten free bagels too! She has tried every brand and these actually taste like a normal bagel. Blueberry cream cheese is my new fav of the week. Eggs over Avocado sandwich is my goto besides the Bacon Egg and Cheese Nana.

JD

Blew my expectations away. The selection and quality was much higher than anticipated and they seem to know enough about gluten allergies. This will definitely be on my list for every time I'm in town.

Emily Will

I made a reservation for about 30 people for a surprise retirement party. The staff was very accommodating. They put us in a party room that had plenty of seating, stored my cake in the chiller, helped with the surprise, and let us all do separate checks. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made sure everyone got what they needed. The food and drinks were also delicious. They had a lot of gluten free, vegetarian, and keto options. It definitely made everyone’s experience a great one. I would definitely recommend this place for a party, or to just have lunch or dinner with a small group of friends! They are awesome!

Scott Secamiglio

The food is always hot, wrapped well, and they can do Gluten-Free dishes. Very impressed with it. They seem to use white meat chicken for those that are used to dark

Valerie Williams

First Watch restaurant has a cool rustic retro spacious style decor. First Watch has dine in and dine outside on the patio.The employees are friendly. First Watch offers great menu options for traditional, organic, vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian guests. I usually order The Trifecta or Belgian Waffle. Located in Market Square on Virginia Beach Boulevard in Virginia Beach.
