Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up staying for dessert too - butter chicken was fire, and that gluten-free cupcake? Unreal. Definitely coming back.
Gluten free! No inside seating, so if you are buying a hot and ready item you'll be sitting outside or in your car to eat. Took someone with celiac there, they got to have their first chicken tender, churro, and onion rings in years. They were delish, with a lot of flavor in the breading.
Our waitress’ name was Brittany. We loved Brittany. She was well educated on what was gluten free for me to eat, gave us a whole apron tour (my mom was interested in getting the same one for her job), and was overall a delight! This is the only restaurant I look forward to going to every year for breakfast. It has a whole gluten free breakfast menu, whereas most places have eggs as the only option. And they have Brittany…who was wonderful.
Had great experience in this bakery w/Rockville Vegans for two different events, Matzah Pizza and the Cake Decorating Competition! The food is all gluten free and items that are vegan as well as dairy free are each marked in different colors on the menu which is very helpful for different dietary restrictions. Jamie, the owner, is very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend!
Wonderful place with great food, and a great variety of food to keep everyone happy including folks wanting to eat healthy. Vegetable/vegan/gluten-free etc. options. Amazingly helpful and friendly service from Mr. Keith who accommodated our tight schedule and difficult modifications - and was able to make our kids laugh. Loved it!
Oh my dear beloved Burtons,
This is our go-to restaurant as a Celiac family. Any event, celebration, etc, we are at Burtons. Unfortunately, the Riverdale location is going off of our list and will be returning to the Alexandria location. When I say we go for all the celebrations, I'm not joking.
Yesterday was the worst experience we have ever had at any restaurant and it was brunch on Father's Day. Mother's Day was fine. We were there. No issues. But, Father's Day was a diabolical disaster. If this was our first experience, which I fear it was some people's first time, I would never come back.
Let me start by saying, the serving staff was amazing. You could tell the kitchen was falling apart but they were trying their best to hold the front of house together. I am going to repeat that we were there for brunch so when I say there were no water pitchers or food was unavailable, you know it got worse throughout the day into dinner service. Why advertise specials that you don't have? My husband and I both ordered off the specials menu. Appetizer sold out (at brunch.. yikes), main course was unrecognizable. They didn't have mashed potatoes, which were part of the dish. The sauce was missing from the chicken, and the chicken was more like Jerky. Needless to say, I took my meal home and didn't eat it. I was offered french fries at the end of my meal when I was informed there were in fact no mashed potatoes cooked. I took those home too. My daughter also ordered chicken that she didn't eat because hers was also a dried out jerky form.
I will say, the waitress did comp a piece of chocolate cake, but after spending $150 on meals that 3/4 of us didn't eat, I decided you need to do better. In this economy, $150 for a family of 4 to have brunch comes with a certain expectation and you failed. Like I said, our family adores Burtons and we know what this restaurant is capable of and a busy brunch isn't an excuse to lose customers. I can only imagine what a mess dinner service was when you were running out of food by lunch time. Poor management destroys business. Do better. You have a strong reputation to uphold in the allergy and celiac community.
Cypriana was terrific. We had a birthday person with us and they made it special (see Picts), the food was great. Specifically the chef’s hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had! Seriously, I could’ve eaten that alone and been happy. The branzino with lemon was excellent and light. The chicken with lemon potatoes was perfect for my kid, the grilled octopus was nice and tender-had a slight Smokey taste and the portion size was enormous. The grilled eggplant was another lovely dish, although that reduced balsamic drizzle on top was so delish I could’ve used more! The had a gluten free pita which was excellent, and the wood roasted olives was a “to taste” item. I did not care for it but the rest of the table loved it.
The service was great, drinks were generous. We had a very good time and will be back!
Beautiful place tastefully decked out with authentic Mexican art and design. Brought and airy. Cozy neighborhood restaurant. Great service, great food and gluten -free by default. They also have a vegan menu

We ended up here on a whim the day of the fall festival. It was crowded but we were seated very quickly. The service was great and was completely unaffected by how packed it was. They had gluten free options available (even dessert, which is rare). I had a BLT on a gluten free bun AND a gluten free strawberry shortcake. I will absolutely be back.

Best gluten free pizza I’ve had since going gluten free. Wish it was a little more affordable, but understand the cost due to the high quality of the imported flour. Definitely recommend!
Having several food allergies, this was easily the most seamless, delicious, healthy dining experience I had. There were plenty of amazing options.
I got the gluten free air-fried chicken parm with squash spaghetti noodles, a lemon tart, and a lavender matcha latte. My husband got blueberry pancakes, steak&eggs, yogurt fruit parfait, and we split a strawberry arugula salad. The dessert and drinks weren’t too sweet and the food was yummy. Our waiter Craig, did an amazing job making recommendations on items to try.
I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to go out to eat while making conscious health choices, actively trying to avoid inflammatory foods and seed oils, or with food sensitivities/allergies.
Great diary free vegan milkshakes. All the Gluten free breads is vegan. The food was delicious and the staff very accomidating to my food allergies. Only diner I've ever had a fulfilling meal at with my allergies
Great food and service in a fantastic location. So many gluten free options! Our server, James, was knowledgeable about the menu and super helpful in explaining all the gluten free options available to us. My husband LOVED the beef stew: great flavor, plenty of beef. My salad was huge and fresh, no wilty greens. We split an order of fish and chips, made gluten free with specific batter and dedicated fryers. The batter was SO crispy. My husband ordered the creme brulee with whipped cream and fresh berries for dessert, and it was AMAZING. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to a return trip.
I recently visited Truefood, and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu.
The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I was particularly impressed by the variety of options, catering to both health-conscious eaters and those with specific dietary needs. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or just looking for something light and tasty, Truefood has something for everyone.
Overall, Truefood is a top-notch restaurant that I highly recommend. If you're looking for healthy, delicious, and beautifully prepared food, this is the place to be! I'll definitely be back soon
We thought this place was amazing. All the food was great. Service was top-notch! Pizza and hamburger were huge for the price, but the pasta dishes were quite expensive! We weren't mad though because of how delicious the food was! This place is a must if you are in the area. They can make anything gluten-free and have a great gluten-free menu.
Excellent food and service! It was very busy when I visited since the farmers market was happening outside, but there was still plenty of tables available. There were also board games to play upstairs and water near the seating. The staff was very friendly and takes allergies very seriously. The employee made sure to tell me about the gluten free options and how they avoid cross contamination. I also heard them explaining what items did/didn’t have dairy to other guests. The food and coffee was very good, and I will definitely be coming back to try more!
I love BIBIBOP. I have celiac’s disease so finding restaurants is really difficult. But BIBIBOP is 100% gluten free! I love their food especially some of the new things they recent added to their menu.
Went here for dinner with my wife while we were on vacation, figured we try something new. The food was amazing, we got the paella Valencia bowl(bought 2 by accident we didn’t realize how big it actually was!) so we had plenty to take home. My wife also got the watermelon salad and I got the beef empanadas which were also really good. The view of the bay is also very pretty. Jose was a great waiter he made sure we were taken care of and made sure my wife’s order was put in properly (she has celiac disease). Can’t wait to go back to OCMD and dine here again.
Love this gem. The food is so delicious and the smoothies are out of this world. Everything is organic, vegan, and gluten free. This place is a must try even if you don’t have dietary restrictions. This is because the food is fantastic!
Took my girlfriend for her birthday. She has Celiac. The menu options were plentiful. The food was excellent. The staff was attentive but not intrusive.
I am so excited to have found this place! My youngest daughter is diagnosed Celiac Disease and so cannot have even the slightest bit of cross contamination in her food or she'll be sick.
On Christmas Eve I called to see if they had a dedicated gluten free fryer (my girl loves fries!). I was told no but the man, Jason, who turned out to be the GM, encouraged us to go anyway because they have such an extensive gluten free menu.
I'm glad we gave it a try! When I arrived Jason told me he decided to make a gluten free dedicated fryer in his kitchen and had already started it up to be ready for my daughter's fries!
On top of that, the staff were all lovely and the food was *amazing*!
Jason, if you see this, thank you again! It's rough for a 13 yr old with Celiac Disease; your kindness made a difference!
We will be back!!
*Update: 12 hours after meal, still no gluten symptoms!*
Very gluten friendly. Had a pizza. Our waiter, Diego, seemed knowledgeable about gluten issues and asked if it was an intolerance or an allergy. I'm pretty sensitive and I didn't have any issues after my meals. Will definitely be coming back! Not going to lie, I get sick most places that claim to offer gluten free pizza. NOT HERE!
There are GF options that include entrees and salads in addition to pizza. Website mentions that they worked with the GIG (gluten intolerance group) to develop kitchen procedures, which is why we decided to go there.
EarthTones fits the bill when you need cozy seating, vegan and gluten free meal options, and a gluten free/vegan cookie or muffin to satisfy a sweet tooth. The atmosphere is gorgeous, featuring a beautiful porch, a wall of pothos, and a view overlooking a gorgeous creek/pond.
Seating is a mix of old wooden chairs, an old couch, a rocking chair, etc. Tables are either old (to match the house) or really cool reclaimed wood and resin with coffee beans inside them. I LOVE that the reclaimed wooden table from their former location has a home on the side porch! 😄
Love sobo cafe!! They are so careful and have so many gf options. I’ve eaten there so many times and never had an issue. The food is so yummy, my gf mom also loves this place. Cocktails are great too!!
We love Lazy Fish!! Their food is so delicious and fresh!! The remodel looks awesome!!! And we just love the staff!!! Cheyanne and Prym always remembers us and they take amazing care of us!! I have a gluten allergy and I’ve never gotten sick!! Thank you for all your care!! We’ll be back soon!! 🩷🩷
Came here for the first time a few days ago, and the service and food was so good that we came back today. We came in around 11am and were immediately asked if we wanted to see gluten free, vegan, or brunch menus. They sat us down and our server, Kellen, brought everyone water without us having to ask for it. He was so friendly and took our order (party of 4) without writing anything down so i was a bit skeptical. We each had multiple very specific modifications with our food, so I didn’t think he would remember them, but he got every single detail right. Was funny, friendly and warm, and got us boxes and the bill at an appropriate time, and refilled drinks as soon as he saw they were slightly low.
Food and service was amazing. Love that our waiter remembered that my sister had a gluten allergy throughout our entire dinner! Rockfish special was SO good
Such a great place to go relax and feel welcome. Food is always on point, and I can tell the proprietor and chef puts love into the food.
If you have food preferences/allergies like celiac, dairy, vegan, or whatever you can rest assured that this place also has an allergen menu, which is basically the same menu without spatzel or has marked allergens on the item.
The staff is always super helpful and kind. Eating here is just the best.
I hope you like sausage tho
God this place is so good. All the flavors of an Italian restaurant with a side dish carryout when you don't have time to eat in. Love this place. Also wife has Celiac and haven't had an issue with them. So wonderful to have gluten free options on pasta dishes.
My friend and I had a late lunch while seated at the bar today. I have celiac disease, and the bartender got me their gluten free menu and went over some menu highlights with me. He was really great and made me feel very comfortable ordering here.

Great little restaurant. Great food. Had a chicken taco and a chorizo taco in corn tortilla. Both excellent. Chips were great. I wasn't a fan of the salsa buy my family gobbled it doen.easy to pay with a QR code. Fun surfing vibe. Enjoyed watching surfing on the TVs. So far so good with the gluten free for my Celiac.
The sickest out celiac family has ever been. Has come from this place. We got the chicken enchiladas and the gf mac and cheese. I even confirmed the noodles were boiled in their own water, clearly they were not when we discovered another noodle from another dish with the food.
We usually go to the location in Hunt Valley, but happened to be in Annapolis yesterday. I'm gluten intolerant, and I have zero issues with their cauliflower crust. This location was not very clean. The seats were full of crumbs, and there was food splattered on the wall in our booth. I didn't find the Margherita pizza as good....way too much cheese. And the Caesar salad dressing tasted odd...compared to what I'm used to. Out of caution, I didn't eat the salad because I know there is no gluten in the dressing at Hunt Valley. And this tasted and looked more like Thousand Island dressing. Our server was great. But I won't go back.

It’s hard to beat a gourmet burger with bottomless fries. I love how there are options for a lettuce wrap instead of a bun. The royal red robin is my personal go to, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of their delicious burger options. From beyond meat to gluten free options- they seemingly have it all.
The staff is always friendly and while it can sometimes be a bit busy at times the tables are spread far enough apart that it is still comfortable. If you are tired of reheated drive thru meals, this is the place to go without breaking the bank.
Most of the menu is gluten-free. Allergen info is posted online. I like the build your own bowl concept. It’s like a Mediterranean version of chipotle. They have some dairy-free dressings/sauces too. Great place for a quick lunch or dinner.
