Black Cow Chophouse

We came here over parents weekend at UVA. They are very familiar with celiac and gluten-free options. Even the fryer is a dedicated fryer so you can eat the fries, etc. The server also told us that most of the flower they use for frying is rice flour. Most items are naturally gluten-free on the menu.

— Excellent

While their menu is (mostly) unmarked, most of their food is gluten free or can be made gluten free. The options not available for GF include the crab cakes, mac and cheese, anything with Panko (but they will leave it off if you ask), and there is no GF bun for their very good burger (review given by my gluten eating spouse). Staff was professional and knowledgeable. They asked questions in the kitchen if they were unclear about something and returned quickly with answers. The fillet mignon I had was excellent! We will be back.
