Gluten-Free Restaurants in Richmond, VA

“Well researched food, solidly composed cocktails, and a warm interior make The Roosevelt one of the most talked about restaurants in RVA currently. Chef Leah is as much a researcher as she is a good chef. Being a long time food writer who has been on assignment in many kitchens, its no surprise to me that Leah has carved out a reputation for herself in Richmond recently. She sources a lot from local farmers, adheres often to seasonal common sense, and takes inspiration from her reading and research on Soul Food, Southern food, and Virginia food. I wouldn't classify prices at The Roosevelt as cheap but also wouldn't classify them as extravagant either. Marketed by many as a "neighborhood spot" I always see The Roosevelt as a great date night spot, particularly for those who might fancy themselves foodies. Congrats to Leah and The Roosevelt on their recent James Beard nod. In my opinion, well deserved.“

“Best pulled pork, ribs and wings I’ve ever had! Cornbread (bits of corn in it) with their honey butter and wow! Amazing! Thank you!“

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

“In addition to a wide variety of fabulous baked goodies, we discovered Minglewood's Delightful BBQ and prepared Chick'n Salad Croissant. Both were excellent and I particularly enjoyed the texture and mix of spices in the BBQ (this has taken the crown as my favorite plant based BBQ). Our second visit to Minglewood, and definitely not our last.“

“Not only the best vegan joint I’ve been to but also my longest supported local business in the state for over a year. The menu might be small but they heavily prioritize quality over quantity. If you’re looking for restaurant quality vegan fast food that’s authentically crafted, then this is the place for you. I cannot recommend this place. Try a cash wrap or a breakfast burrito here and you’ll be in love in no time.“

“We tried Burtons tonight for my wife's birthday, and couldn't have been happier with out choice! The restaurant had a lively atmosphere - but felt really cozy and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing. From the calamari to steak and the lobster role, everything we had was delicious. A huge shout-out to our waiter, Robert, and Tristan, who made our dining experience fantastic!“

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

“Ice cream was so creamy. It was probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had.“

“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“

“I do want to give a shout out to the manager Erin she was excellent very customer friendly and our lunch was excellent“

“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“

“Hood, reasonably priced food“

“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“

“Food and service is always great 👍“

“Bread and calamari were marvelous. I would know, I’m part Italian! 🇮🇹 On top of that they didn’t judge me for underdressing. Bravo! If only this place wasn’t only open in the evening.“

“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“

“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“

“The bacon wrapped scallops are wonderful. The chicken pot pie was the best I have ever had. My compliments to the Chef �“

“Made our wedding cake and macarons. All our guests commented about how delicious they both were. I highly recommend- you won’t be disappointed!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Small shop with a Rustic vibe with really good coffee and bagels. This is not the coffee shop to try to work in. The brown sugar cardamom latte is really good and have the perfect cardamom flavor that isn't overpowering. Really good service. I like that there is a free library outside and they have free community meals for people who needs it.“

“The staff are all very friendly and nice and the food is always fantastic- fresh, hot, and delicious! I highly recommend this place!“

“lovely atmosphere and delicious ice cream.“

“Wonderful food and very nice atmosphere.“

“Dangerous place - everything (burgers, fries, donuts) is awesome!“

“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!“

“I never post reviews but DJ deserves a huge shoutout. I order take out or delivery from here probably once a week (for the past year or so) and every time I go in to get my order if DJ is working, he has a huge smile and welcomes me in by name. He is so sweet and always makes sure my order is correct. I’ve also never had issues with my order when he has handled it. Today, I ordered delivery and he even wrote on the cookie bag Hey Mrs. Lexie, Enjoy & Merry Christmas. These little things are the level of customer service that go above and beyond and keep us coming back. He is vital to this company and deserves some sort of promotion. We obviously will continue coming back but definitely wanted to give recognition to one of the best employees! Thank you DJ for being amazing!“

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

“I finally had a chance to check this place out and was not disappointed! Staff is super friendly, food is amazing and the location is clean and adorable! 10/10.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Use to come here years back with my nanny kid that lived about a 1/2 a mile away each week. It was always such a treat. It’s cute, and has a great selection. Just moved back to the Richmond area and can’t wait to get back to this store.“

“Venturing here with my coworker for a wholesome healthy breakfast! So delicious and she was so excited for once not having to stress about her food allergies!!! Food was delicious ❤️“

“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!“

“Uber driver suggested this wonderful location. Not far from the VHM was just walking distance. I was greeted by the super friendly host. I ordered the Hawaiian pizza and was able to customize it with red sauce instead of the white. Staff was great, friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is great and very inviting. Looked like they had a great selection in drinks and beverages. Will definitely be revisiting this place.“

“Good location Great Food“

“Amazing food and staff“

“If you ❤️ cookies 🍪, this is the place for you! 😃“

“We were in yesterday for an anniversary celebration for my parents and I must say we were SO pleased with our experience as always. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the front staff and the manager with a smile, within a moment or two of being seated our wonderful server came to greet us and grab our drink order, the food was magnificent and full of delicious flavor and came out fresh/at great temperatures, then our server even remembered that it was my parents anniversary and brought out a celebratory sparkler on a bottle and a dessert for them to share ❤️ My parents felt the love and I surely did too, thank you to the staff for being so kind and taking the time to come and enjoy conversation with us at the table as well, it meant a lot to us and we will be back! We have been coming to this location for many years and always feel the service is 10/10!!“

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

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

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

“Went for Valentines day and the service were wonderful. The staff was friendly. The cold and hot food were fantastic! The meats were amazing. We had such a good time that we went back during lunch 2 weeks later. The lunch time was perfect because it wasn't packed. There are a couple fewer options at lunch, but also cost less, so I was even happier with the lunch experience. We will be going back.“

“Great service and very good vegan options.“

“They were really accommodating for my gluten allergy and made sure to prevent all cross contamination, including preparing and cooking it in a separate area. It was nice to not have to worry. The food was delicious and I'll definitely be coming back!“

“We enjoyed a good meal and our server was great. I believe the restaurant was short-staffed in the kitchen, but the server explained the situation, tried to help us with pacing, and made sure we were satisfied. Also, the hostess was kind enough to offer us a booth since the restaurant wasn't packed and we like to sit next to each other. Overall, we'll definitely come back to this restaurant when on this side of town“
