Burtons Grill

When I walked in the door and asked for a table the first question they asked me is if I wanted a gluten free menu! Immediately I knew I was at the right place. Amazing cheeseburger and fries. Dedicated frier. Separate gluten free menu. The desserts sounded amazing but I was too full to try. The general tso’s cauliflower appetizer amazing as well. Highly recommend.

Update. Went back and we shared the chicken risotto and crab cakes. Both great. We got the chocolate dessert and it was amazing to say the least.

Highly Impressed! Very knowledgeable and vigilant about Celiac needs. Excellent food. Host & waiter were attentive to daughter’s needs. Host told us “everything can be made gluten free except the key lime pie.” Didn’t ask about their fryer because we didn’t want fries.

I have had their risotto countless times, falafel, fish sandwich, and hamburger and every time I have received a delicious safe gluten and dairy free meal. Come here for peace of mind and to be fed a wonderful meal

Burton’s is my favorite place in Cville. They take extreme precautions for celiacs, even using different shaped plates to make sure they don’t mix orders up. Huge gf menu and everything is delicious. 7 layer chocolate cake is to die for, as is the fried fish sandwich and fried pickles.

I’ve eaten here many times and never had an issue. They take allergies very serious and ask the table if anyone has any allergies before they take orders. I am celiac and allergic to eggs and they always can accommodate me with no issues. Dedicated fryer is always a bonus. Probably my favorite place to eat in cville.

Upon walking in, hostess asked if anyone needed a gf menu. The menu had a variety & many options. They pride themselves on allergy awareness & extensive training. I had a gf chicken, ham & guac sandwich on the freshest bun I have had in 15 years. Excellent fries. GF dishes are served on special plates. Friendly employees. Highly recommend.

Really tasty food and almost the entire menu is gluten free! They have separate shaped plates for the gluten free items when you dine in so you know it’s right, and they mark take out orders. They don’t short on pasta and sandwich options and they have a dedicated frier so I’d recommend trying the fries! Entrees can be a little pricey but worth it for a nice dinner

Every server comes to the table and the first thing they ask is if there are any allergies at the table. We went with myself (celiac), and 2 of my bridesmaids, each of which have allergies (shellfish and onions). They were able to keep all of our food from cross contamination, brought each plate out separately for safety, and double checked options for my friend with an onion allergy. The food is delicious, the gluten free menu is pretty extensive, and the atmosphere is so comfortable and pleasant.

Absolutely outstanding!!! I am gluten free and dairy free, and there were a ton of options for me and even a dinner roll! The entire staff was incredibly attentive to my allergies and every person who brought out my food immediately added that it was both gluten and dairy free. Turns out the owner of the chain has celiac so it makes sense that they definitely get it. 100% recommend

Wonderful GF menu, and I could tell the wait staff was knowledgeable. Probably the best restaurant you’ll find if you have celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing calimari!!! Plus they have gf rolls. Friendly staff. Make reservations as they get very busy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

amazing food and quick service, the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and there were only a couple menu items that couldn’t be modified to be gluten free. i highly recommend the pork chop and the calamari! we are traveling and made a pit stop at burtons, otherwise we would definitely return. a must-eat in charlottesville if you are gluten free!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome food and knowledgeable staff. Excellent, large GF menu and seems dedicated to providing safe meals.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Always delicious and best of all, SAFE!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I felt very safe here. As soon as I walked in they asked if anyone needed a gf menu and the first thing the server asked was about allergens. Whole menu that is gluten free!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food is really good. This is the most attentive gluten free restraunts I have ever been to. The food did not make me sick at all. They use a seperate fryer for anything gluten free.

The staff is knowledgeable and the gluten free menu is extensive. They serve their gluten free items on different shaped plates so they are easily identifiable. We didn’t receive great service but this place is celiac friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gold standard in Celiac. Founder has celiac, almost the whole menu is available and fantastic.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff is knowledgeable and the food is delicious! I had fries and an amazing sandwich! I haven’t been so full in such a long time! I didn’t need to have a long conversation with the staff about my needs as a Celiac, which is another plus! Definitely coming back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the seafood pasta with gluten free noodles-it was quite delicious. Service, however, was lacking.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really enjoyed eating at a safe place for a person with celiac disease. Wish they were closer to Illinois. Will definitely return & look for their other locations. My meal was excellent!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff and kitchen are trained and they have a computer that actually will alert them if dairy or gluten is present. We are gluten/dairy free with celiac and actually booked our vacation around this restaurant. We can have crab cakes! They have a separate full menu of choices!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great menu! I’m Keto & Celiac. They have limited sugar-free, GF, Paleo options plus a full GF menu

Everything was amazing about this place other than the fact it was a bit pricey. Staff was VERY knowledgeable and understanding and food was great. Best meal I’ve had I a while.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

very good food but is very pricey. i love their gf calamari. :) Weve come a few times. im allergic to soy also. one time the risotto bothered me but another time I was ok. always tastes great

Excellent for my very contamination sensitive gluten free boyfriend. The owner is celiac too and you can tell. The waiters are clearly trained, they confirm specific kitchen utensils, grilling area, and frier specifically for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place for a celiac! The waitress was great about handling allergies and my food was brought out separately. On the higher end of the price range but with so many options of food to choose from and the special care they take its worth it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is apparently our second time going to this restaurant. We actually didn't remember going there the first time, until we saw a previous review we had left on a different website - both of these occasions were while traveling. To put it simply, they don't disappoint. I have Celiac and thus must eat gluten free - not because it's the "cool" thing to do, but because I'll get sick otherwise. First, the restaurant is VERY accommodating. They have LOTS of options for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. One of the best out there. Additionally, our server tonight was Eric (Erik?). He was Very good. He was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and Celiac/gluten free dining needs. He was able to explain and suggest dinner options like he wrote the menu himself. He even suggested I try a combination of risotto and sauce that I would not have tried otherwise, but at his suggestion, it was delicious!! Kudos to Eric. Kudos to Burtons. If in the area again, we will certainly return!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Update: We ate here again tonight and our service was even better than last time! Our server, Eric, was excellent and very knowledgeable about gf. He explained the processes at Burton’s for ensuring gf every time and was so accommodating to us. We felt very safe eating here and our food was wonderful. We shared the steak kabobs (menu special) and the California chicken sandwich. We also tried the torte again and had the ‘trio’ which consisted of chocolate cake, mascarpone cheesecake with blueberry compote, and a berry cheesecake. Each came in a little single-serve jar. The experience was excellent and definitely safe for celiac!!

Original review: Boyfriend had swordfish risotto and I had a steak sandwich. Meal was good but the dessert is where it's at!! We had the chocolate torte with raspberry sauce and ice cream and also the pecan praline tart (?) which was warmed and deliciously smothered in caramel, served with ice cream. We would go back for the dessert alone!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had forgotten about this place when we got here. After a 20 min search online under hangry conditions, I finally came across Burtons again. I was SO RELIEVED! They really are a rare treat. The manager prepared my meals and brought them to me. They take every precaution to keep you safe and fed well. I can't say enough good about their food and service!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff asks right away if there are food allergies. You get a special plate and manager brings food with gloves.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best service since diagnosis of celiac. Asked about allergies from the host to the server and beyond. Had my first gluten free crab cake that wasn't like eating sandy crab. Highly recommend.

Staff were very knowledgeable. Gluten free menu was extensive and delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Came here because of the great safety reviews. Ordered the GF chicken piccata, which comes with GF penne pasta. When I'd eaten most of it, i found a piece of angel hair pasta in it, which is not GF. Manager said the chef grabbed the non-gf tongs to pull out the pasta, which likely had the piece of angel hair on it. Protocols are only good if people are following them. Cannot recommend. Manager did comp meal and gave a gift card, but i won't be back.

Eating here was wonderful, and I am so sad we don’t live closer to a Burton’s. The menu is extensive, their allergy procedures are on point, and they encourage you to customize. One of my kids has extensive, complicated food allergies and they were very willing to work with her to make sure she had a meal she enjoyed. I had the fish sandwich which was so good it almost made me cry. (I added avocado which I recommend.) I got the tartar sauce on the side because I have a lifelong aversion to tartar sauce but it was SO GOOD that it won me over. We also had the focaccia which was outstanding. After we declined dessert, our fabulous server recommended a gelato place to us that had options that were safe for my kid with allergies (beardcats) … can’t thank Burtons enough for this wonderful meal. We will be back!

So refreshing to have a large GF menu and know it is safe. The owner of the restaurant has Celiac so the servers were very educated on it. We had the focaccia appetizer and it was delicious. My daughter loves bread so this was a treat. The waitress immediately noticed my daughter had the GF menu and explained how they handled and prepared all the GF menu items separately. All of us loved our meals off of both the regular and GF menus.

I have absolutely loved and trusted Burtons Grill & Bar until my most recent experience with them. They usually go above and beyond in making sure the food is safe, even having a manager review the order before it is served; however, we ordered pick-up last night and the food had dairy even though the bag was clearly marked with a dairy and gluten allergy notice. After waiting 45 minutes after our scheduled pick up time, I ended up just giving my food to my partner because I could not eat what I was given (I was scared that it may have gluten too since they missed the dairy piece). Just a heads up to those with celiac and other allergies to be careful when ordering pickup. I’m sad because this was one of the only places I felt safe eating!!!
