If you are on a gluten-free diet and are looking to find some places to eat in the Richmond Virginia area, let me point you toward a great post over at This Chick’s Paradise. In this post, you’ll find a great collection of restaurants in Richmond Virginia that offers a gluten-free menu of some sort and comes with high recommendations from the Celiac community in that area.
For your reference, here is the list of restaurants (with websites!) included in the list:
- Acacia – gluten-friendly
- Carrabba’s – gluten-free menu
- Casa Grande – gluten-friendly
- Cheese Roll Bake Shop – everything is gluten-free – their rolls are made with tapioca flour
- Chipotle – everything is gluten-free except the tortillas
- Curry House – gluten-friendly
- Extra Billy’s – gluten-friendly
- The Nile – everything is gluten-free except the baklava
- Mekong – try the rocket shrimp, soft spring rolls, and the rice bowls
- Ruth’s Chris – gluten-free menu
- Sticks Kebob Shop – most things on the menu are gluten-free – they even use wheat-free soy sauce!
- Thai Diner Too – gluten-free menu
Wow! I’m the reason Sticks is gluten free! My best friend used to work there and convinced the owner to change soy sauce so I could eat there. I feel special right now, that other celiacs can enjoy their food because of me.
The Celiac community thanks you!
I emailed The Melting Pot and they advised by email that they could make special arrangements for gluten free meals if you call ahead.
If you go to Impanema Cafe on Grace St. they always have a few things on the menu that are gluten free.
P.F. Chang’s has a Gluten Free Menu. They are very helpful!
Pizza Fusion also has a gluten free Menu.
Champ’s at Stoney Point Fashion Park does not have a gluten free menu but, they have never messed up my meal.
Outback Steak House off of Broad Street has a gluten free menu and they have never messed up my meal unlike the one off of Huegenot and Robious.
Buz and Ned’s BBQ is gluten free friendly.
Strawberry Street Cafe is Gluten Free friendly.
Joes Inn is Gluten free friendly for breakfast. If I go to Joe’s for dinner it is harder to find something GF. I normally get a chicken breast with tomato sauce and a sweet potato.
Good Luck!
Jami,
This is excellent information! Thanks SOO much!
If you tell the server at MamaJ’s restaurant on North 1st St., Richmond, VA, that you have gluten allergy, MamaJ will fry your catfish in pure cornmeal in a clean pan with fresh oil! Wonderful place, great prices, well worth going. Among the nicest ambiance and staff iof any Richmond restaurant. Southerners love this food; your Northern friends will go home happy you took them!

Bocca Toscana in The Village shopping center and Frank’s in stony point also have gluten free options.
Chanello’s (pizza) has pizza dough without gluten. However, there is a possibility for cross-contamination since they make all pizza on the same counters. Just mention to them that you are GF, and they will make every arrangement possible to avoid issues!
