Great gluten free food, the best I’ve found. Love their chicken tenders, crab cake and French fries.

Myself, my parents and my husband came here for my birthday dinner! It was AMAZING! I was so pleased to be able to have a celiac friendly fried chicken sandwich! We all enjoyed our meals

As of late-March 2022, they are waiting for their exterior sign to be repaired. It is next to Burton's auto repair and has green and white striped awning out front.

This food is excellent and made very safe. There is no loose floor in the restaurant and everything fried is made with corn starch is its fully safe. Dedicated fryers. I've had the fried chicken strips and my wife had had that has well as the fried fish. Both were so good. Pretty much every burger can be made gluten free with a gluten free bun. Highly recommend this place.

Cute little spot with good GF options. The brunch menu (weekends only) is more limited than their weekday menu but still plenty to choose from. They clearly mark what is GF or can be made gluten free. The wings are delicious!

Great good and tons of options! They use cornstarch only in their frying process so the vast majority of their food is safe. Their French fries are absolutely the best I’ve ever had and their staff is so friendly and helpful. I can’t believe it took me so long to actually try this place. It will become a regular spot for us!

Menu was well marked and staff very knowledgeable. Food was great! Had a burger and a rueben on a gf bun. And got a second helping off the French fries. The waitresses were so nice it felt like it had been our goto family restaurant for years already.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience! Sat at the bar and met the co-owners and a fellow diner who could not say enough about the quality and safety of the food. This friendly place is very serious about a safe and enjoyable dining experience. I had a crab cake sandwich, it was delicious and very generous. The French fries were some of the best! They offer a GF beer and several GF seltzer’s (I did not try them, but others at the bar were enjoying them).

One of our favorite places. Everything is delicious, their burgers are the best in the city. I’ve not had a bad dish, and have never been exposed.

We had a great experience here! Servers are nice and knowledgeable about celiac. Fries are cooked separately, burgers are great and even had a GF brownie that was delicious!! Thankful we found it on the app while we were in town….We ate here twice!

Great small diner experience! The menu is very clearly marked with what what is GF, can be made GF, and what isn't. Fries are delicious!!! Got the "Truffle Shuffle" with a gluten free bun, which was one of the best buns I have had at at a restaurant. The servers and kitchen staff were very clear about my needs and how to avoid cross contamination and allergies. My husband also has a mushroom allergy and they asked questions to make sure they could meet those needs as well. Great casual dining and a great place to get a burger, definitely coming back here!

This place is awesome. I went there on Saturday morning and got fried eggs, bacon and hash-browns. I was told the hash-browns and fries were safe since they had their own fryer. I went back on Wednesday to get a bacon cheeseburger with fries. They have gluten free buns and wow was the burger good! I highly recommend this place!

Great food! A little mom pop restaurant, just down the street from the airport. Not dedicated GF menu but the staff take great effort in meeting dietary and allergic restrictions. No items expressly said GF but we know what we can and can't have. Our server explained ingredients for any questions we had. The food was delicous, and my wife with celiac had no reactions after our visit, so we know the staff was careful and attentive. This may become my goto whenever I fly in/out of Richmond.

This was a delicious place to eat. Gluten free bun is an option and there are numerous other options. Fries have a dedicated fryer but the fried ravioli is fried in the same frier as everything else. Try it out!

This place is safe and has fantastic food! Delightful young couple run the place (he is the chef) and are extremely cognizant of gf safety precautions and want everyone to be able to enjoy their restaurant. Only a few things are not gluten-free (the waffle, mac & cheese). I had a buffalo chicken sandwich (see picture) that was made with a real, thick chicken breast, and the best french fries I've ever had. They also have 3-4 ciders available. About a mile from the Richmond airport - definitely will be getting food to-go for outbound flights or dinner after arriving home. (3/22 - The exterior sign is being replaced; Fat Boy's is beside Burton's Auto Repair , and there's a green and white striped awning across the front of the restaurant.)

With limited options in the area, this restaurant has the best limited selections in town. I ate the southwestern salad without tortilla crisps and no issues. They do have gluten free buns listed on the menu.
