I am a practicing gastroenterology physician in Richmond. I took my family to this restaurant, explained to the server three times that I have a gluten allergy and placed an order for a gluten free pizza The server appears to have acknowledged and recognized this and reported that she has family members who have a gluten allergy as well. Despite this, she incorrectly placed the order for a pizza for me with a gluten containing crust. Only after I had consumed as substantial amount of this item, did she then return and informed my family members that this was a gluten containing pizza. I asked to speak with the manager. While waiting to speak with the manager, another patron at the restaurant who had overheard the discussion reported to me that a similar situation had happened with him. I explained this to the manager who was completely unfazed. After a brief back-and-forth discussion with the manager, I noted to her that the servers attention to detail was negligent. I asked to speak with the owner. I received no call from the owner. I’m giving this place one out of five stars mainly on the basis of what appears to have been an inadequate response to a negligent server
Great alternative brunch spot! Excellent GF waffles (both sweet and savory), but GF protein choices are limited. This spot consistently makes a kick ass cup of coffee.
The mellow mushroom never disappoints with their wide variety of gourmet pizza options! On this particular occasion we had taken my grandson there as a celebration after his pinewood Derby event. He is gluten and dairy-free. Very few places offer options for him. We really appreciate their eclectic and caring choices in their ingredients.
I had dinner at True Food and it was excellent. Lots of menu variety for gluten free and vegan individuals. Our meatloaf (non gluten free) and burger were tasty, prepared exactly the way we requested. The service and ambience was outstanding. When you go, ask for Fernanda to be your waitress. She’s very customer oriented and kind. Emerson the Manager brought out our food and was very professional and helpful. True Food is a great place to eat!
I've been going here for several years now, and the food never disappoints. This locally-owned restaurant serves healthy, delicious and carefully prepared food -- from delicious gluten-free crêpes to fresh fish. For those looking to binge eat and complain about the portion size, this is not the place to go. For those interested in a healthy, fresh, and delicious French meal however, this place is highly-recommended. It is without doubt one of the best restaurants in Old Town Alexandria.
We were there Dec.8th,Sunday 6:30pm. As soon as we stood to order, no one recognized our presence. The guy and lady just went on with what they’re doing. Not busy, it’s just us waiting. 2 people seated. They could’ve at least say, We’ll be with you or something. Instead, they just made us wait for about 3mins. We ordered Bacon and brie pasta which is the only one that’s ok that’s why I gave a 2 star. The Supreme pizza and a gluten-free pizza are so dry and tasteless. This is also the dirtiest location we’ve been to. I hope the owner/manager will address the performance of their staff. The attitude they reflected shows that they’re not happy with what they do.

I called ahead and did a pick-up order. My burger and fries were delicious! I chose a turkey patty and GF bun. Best gluten-free bun I have ever had! The staff was friendly when I entered for pick up. Once they found out I was GF, they pointed out other options for me. I really appreciated that, and I will be back to try them.

Had a fabulous meal! My mom and I are gluten free and there were so many delicious options. Definitely try the buffalo fried oysters and red crab dip. We sat at the bar and Whitney offered fantastic service. She had great menu suggestions.
Fantastic Fish. I had gluten-free breaded fish that was lighter and better than any breaded fish i have ever had. My wife has celiac and was able to have a great meal that was gluten-free and safe from cross-contamination.
Only gf/vegan sauce they had was Sriracha... It's prob worth investing in a few bottles of gluten-free soy sauce, no? Would be nice if they had a vegan pho on the menu too. There was a literal mouse in the house and some hair in my noodles; it might be time for the four sisters to #stepitup
Delicious smoothie bowls with awesome protein options. Definitely going here again. Also so many gluten free options (the entire store might be naturally gluten free). Very creative menu and create-your-own options too. The cold brew bowl was great and I got the cocoa added in plus chocolate maca protein powder 2x (that's 25 grams of plant-based protein)! I added in cacao nibs too. Lovely breakfast and atmosphere!
Went there with my family since two of us are gluten sensitive. Healthy food served in a warm atmosphere, with fun variety beyond your standard Indian Restaurant. Fast service, Easy to eat gluten free with many choices, and reasonable prices. Definitely a favorite of mine and one kid, so it is pretty darn good. Ate here two days in a row!!!
I love chick-fil-A, I can find safe gluten free food here. That being said we did not eat at this one as it was going to be a really long wait as it was busy busy!
We love this place. Every time we visit the waiter asks about dietary restrictions and the chef marks up the menu notating what I can eat(Celiac) and what my son can eat(dairy free). They have great seasonal options, my husband and I love coming here for date night because of how loud and crowded this place gets it is hard to get our stroller in even though our toddler LOVES this place. The cocktails here are delicious and we have fun trying something new and different every time.

Stopped in last night for a birthday dinner and had a great time. The staff was super attentive and very accommodating to a gluten allergy. Moments after being sat they had a basket of gluten free bread ready for us! Shout-out to Bryce for his great energy!
A great place that offers deli-style entrees, mostly American fare. You can even choose from healthy items to unhealthy. Keep in mind that this is not a gluten-free restaurant. Many selections to choose from. The staff are polite and professional. They are following current Covid guidelines. Recommended.
