Gluten-Free Restaurants in Richmond, VA

“My friends and I had a fantastic time indulging in multiple rounds of Lemon Drop Martinis, along with delicious appetizers like cornbread and wings, followed by a delightful dinner. Our server was exceptional, making the evening even more special as we celebrated my friend's birthday. To our surprise, they treated my friend to a complimentary glass of Prosecco adorned with a birthday candle. We couldn't resist sharing our entrees, which included smoked brisket meatballs, pan-roasted shrimp, and fried catfish, all of which were incredibly tasty. The portions were generous enough for sharing, and the fried catfish was simply the best we've ever tasted, prompting us to order some to take home. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a cozy evening with friends or family!“

“Terrific staff and beer as always. New set up is terrible. Nobody wants to have a full service brewery. Nobody wants to have to reserve a table. Please go back to original set up. let us sit where we want. order a beer when we want. If we want full service we will go to the restaurant side. This may work at the other locations, but Richmond isn't Charlottesville. This was our goto brewery, today's has us thinking differently now“

“DRR catered our wedding on 6/8/24. They were punctual, professional, and knew what they were doing! I had a stress free day with them at my wedding! The bartender was also incredibly personable! She had even took time to visit my wedding website so she knew what to expect. I was shocked (in a positive way!) it truly shows just how dedicated they are to their customers. From the taste testing to the day of, we couldn’t have asked for better people to work with! We also received lots of compliments on how well the food tasted!! Their sweet potatoes are to die for, but seriously, all of their food is delicious!! Stop here for your BBQ wedding menu!!“

“Best birria egg rolls in Richmond Virginia, food was exceptional 💯💯🫶🏾🫶🏾“

“SO many great flavors to choose from; roasted strawberry will spoil you on regular strawberry ice cream forever! The cannoli ice cream(with mini cannoli shell) was excellent. My daughter always gets a sweet little macaron on top of whatever she chooses. It’s such a great spot to grab a great scoop (or two!) of ice cream.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Super sweet owners. We were offered tasty samples of several items. We went gor lunch and left with extra food for the weekend. Hummus creamy and delicious 😋. We'll definitely be back. yummy“

“We have been here twice now, both times we were passing through on our way home from vacation. Their cheddar bay biscuits are AMAZING. I wish I had ordered extras to take home with me. My husband got the buffalo chik’n sliders from the refrigerated case and said it was SO good. My son got a huge piece of coffee cake and loved it. We also each got cheddar bay biscuit, and I also got a chocolate croissant and an iced chai. Everything was amazing! They also have a mini store front with lots of awesome vegan products. Candy bars, seasonal items, stickers, jewelry and lots more.“

“Friendly, fast service and delicious food!“

“I'm addicted and can't wait to hopefully have more tomorrow 😋❤️ All the food was so flavorful and the presentation is amazing.“

“First impressions always wins. We were seated immediately. We chose outside seating because 80 degrees in October you have to show out. We were greeted within minutes. Our waitress (Storm) was top tier with energy like that i should have felt some connection(CAT MOM) she was awesome. My cousin always eat here so she ordered her regular (General tso cauliflower) which were bomb. I ordered the (Bread service) appetizer & baby .... The bread , the butter , the oil, & olives pure freshness & delicious. For the entree i went with the Veggie burger which indeed is the kind i prefer (handcrafted with rice & other ingredients) and sweet potato fries which were excellent at taste. My cousin ordered the parmesan truffle fries which were fresh and full of flavor. For my drink we scope over the menu but something about the Orchard Sangria pulled me into the right direction, the cinnamon/ sugar rim combo was exquisite and rich in taste as it clashed with the sangria. Yummy
I am assure I will be returning for the Bread service alone i can eat at least 3 orders it was so good!!“

“Had lunch, busy little corner, worth the wait.“

“Look forward to the oatmeal cream pies every year when we come down for the Richmond Marathon. Thanks so much for whipping up another batch tonight!! Perfection! #WillRunForOCP“

“I come to IH all the time, right on my street. This morning I got the mixed berry galette and it is the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Not too sweet, perfectly flaky, with the slight crunch of granulated sugar washed on the dough. It is absolute perfection. Please consider making it a regular 😍 Thanks for all you do. Great bakers, great staff, love the music. Thankful you’re always there for brekkie when I’ve been too lazy to grocery shop.“

“Hood, reasonably priced food“

“We ate at La Grotta for the first time last night. It will be the first of many! The service, food, and ambiance were spectacular. We were a party of 3 and each of us cleaned our plates. Our friend with Celiac could choose from almost the entire menu which is unheard of, especially at an Italian restaurant. If you're looking for a truly delicious meal, you'll find it at La Grotta! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Food and service is always great 👍“

“when I get to heaven and walk thru the pearly gates, Veal Mona Lisa, Calamari, and Tiramisu will be waiting... I drove 100 plus miles for this“

“Dear Lamplighter,
Today my husband brought a bagel Sammy home to me from you guys. The sandwich had havarti cheese, which you had let get a little crispy and bubbly and wonderful. I noticed and appreciated it so much. I don't even care if I never happens again. The beautiful instance of it happening once will ensure that I return over and over again, delighted at the possibility of my sandwich having a crispy little cheese edge. Even if it doesn't I will have been happy to be there..thanks I love you“

“When I moved to Richmond from Charlottesville, I was SO HAPPY to discover a Sticks in Willow Lawn! I loved Sticks in Charlottesville and the one in Willow Lawn is equally excellent. Best. Hummus. EVER“

“Frank recommended the veal chop special on Friday night. We both got it. The sauce was so delicious with chunks of portobello mushrooms. AMAZING flavor!! I brought home half of mine to savor again. Can’t wait!“

“We ordered box lunches to be delivered for a Sunday afternoon meeting. DJ was wonderful to work with and made the process easy and seamless. Our food was delivered on time. Everything was fresh and delicious. 100% order accuracy. We look forward to working with this great team again in the future.“

“Just a great place to have tea and a sweet or too .. love this place“

“The food and the staff is amazing highly recommended.“

“Wonderful food and very nice atmosphere.“

“We had the best time last night. Girls trip from out of town & we stumbled upon the restaurant by accident. Staff, food & drinks were fabulous & we highly recommend! “Pinkies up”“

“After this place has been on “RVA Restaurants to Try” list for about 3 years, this was our first time eating at Fat Dragon, but it certainly not be our last! The wonton soup was the best my mother has ever tasted…keep in mind, she’s traveled all over the world. The ginger dressing was so delicious, I asked the server if they sold it in bottles. The garlic chicken and basil beef were both so tender and flavorful, I would highly recommend them both. And last but not least, our server was great! Do not wait to try this place like I did!!!! Go now!“

“Sugar shack on Huguenot has great service and excellent food. Will be back.“

“The fried fish traditional jollif rice and vegetable medley was so good. Kullah was so friendly and cool and she made me a special juice drink that was delicious!“

“My company had a big job to do this holiday season and Sharon didn't even bat an eye. She was GREAT at communicating with us, and came up with the perfect choice for our clients. We've had some great feedback from our recipients of the wonderful truffles. I highly recommend reaching out if you have a special job that needs personal attention. Thanks again!“

“Not much to say other than WOW! AMAZING! WORTH THE DRIVE!“

“Our go-to for desserts, and they just happen to be vegan! Flavorful, beautifully prepared, unique items you can't find elsewhere. The savory options are amazing too, they are magicians with seitan. Don't miss their seasonal offerings for holidays! Most recently we had a delicious box of items for high tea from their Mothers' Day menu and everything was perfect and fresh. We are really lucky to have Sunflower Gardenz in our city, a hidden gem for sure“

“One of the best pizza crusts in Richmond, coupled with generous toppings. When you order extra cheese here, you actually get it! Only negative is price - the other night (May 2025) I ordered a large with extra cheese, pepperoni, sausage, hamburger, and onions and it was $44. I was shocked. In their defense, the toppings (especially cheese) was so plentiful that I made 3 meals out of it - dinner, then lunch and dinner the next day. Still, $50 for a pizza (with tip) - I picked it up myself - is still kinda crazy. It was VERY good though.“

“I’ve enjoyed Sally Bell’s chicken salad box lunches since the 1980s. Their potato salad has been a staple for family holiday dinners for generations. Unbelievably fresh, delicious food!“

“Good location Great Food“

“Amazing food and staff“

“Great vegan options! I will definitely be ordering from them again.“

“i ordered the reg size bowl of pasta noodles with shrimp and I loved it lol“

“Delicious food, cupcakes & the staff is amazing!“

“We went to TdB for my son's birthday. We made reservations for 8pm, but weren't seated until 8:20. There were plenty of seats available, which puzzeled us, but we just waited until we were seated. Once we got our table, we had impeccable service by Diago. He was super friendly and very attentive!

The food was very good and the quantity you get is A LOT. Be prepared to wear stretchy pants or a dress! 😁 The fried bananas, potatoes au gratin, spicy sirloin and bacon wrapped filet were the stars of the show for me, while my husband and son loved the beef ribs, sausage, lobster bisque and jasmine rice.

Honestly, we only come here once every few years because it's very expensive and gut busting doesn't feel good. It is worth it if you're celebrating.“

“i tried their macarons and they were DELICIOUS! they were so huge, but still very good. the texture and flavor was amazing. strongly recommend. i will definitely be back!“

“I just picked up from Red Eye and Gaby made my whole night!! Her recommendations were excellent and did not fall short. Her kindness was inspiring!! Especially on a very cold night where it would be easy to be grumpy while one is at work. Definitely will return :)“

“Tonight we had the pleasure of having a waitress named Nik. She was attentive, communicative and warm. She made sure our refills were well timed, checked in after she dropped off anything to our table to ensure the quality was up to par, and overall had a very warm demeanor. We did however have the displeasure of having the veggie spring rolls which were soggy, flavorless, and better suited for a gas station heat lamp. The Changs spicy chicken was okay if you like your chicken sweet instead of spicy. Would return for the service alone, but absolutely will not be ordering those dishes again.

Dietary restrictions: Server will ask about allergies, many gluten free and vegetarian options,“

“Very dog friendly to our three pups. Brought water out for them. Food was Fantastic“

“Great service and very good vegan options.“

“This restaurant is located in the lower level of Short Pump Town Center. The food was pretty good, but expect to pay on the higher end for the food here. The service was exceptionally great. Our server, Bryar, was very patient and really nice. She explained some of the menu to us and even gave us a few recommendations when we asked her for her thoughts on the food. Even after bringing our food out, she still checked on us to see if the food was to our liking, if there was anything else we needed, etc. The atmosphere was pretty good, there was plenty of seating options and well lit. The biggest issue I had was with all the gnats that were flying around.“

“Food is amazing . The choice of foods incredibly pleasing. Build a bowl is my favorites. Drinks are cute. I am absolutely satisfied. Can’t wait for the next times“
