Cheesetique Shirlington

This is one of my go-to places: I have eaten here several times without ever getting sick.

The menu has been updated so that it is less clear that there are gluten free options, but many things can be prepared GF. I tend to go for the GF mac-n-cheese.

They said they would tell the cook that it was celiac allergy and within 10 min after eating I was sick. Food was good. But definitely not gluten free

Exquisite gourmet macncheese. Even had gf bread crumbs. Terrific atmosphere (ask to sit in back dining room) and top notch service. Gf crackers avail for appetizers and cheese boards

Food was great but $2 extra for grilled cheese and my sandwich was half the size of a regular.

the food was fantastic, great staff and knew how to handle a celiac order.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the cheesesteak and the bread was really good, it's hard to find places that have good bread that is gluten free, the service was great a definite come back

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their cheese was delicious. Their gluten free crackers were styrofoam. The gluten free mac n cheese was great. Very dog friendly outside. Good selection. Chocolate mousse (Gluten free)

Offers GF Mac and cheese or grilled cheese. Have eaten here multiple times and also ordered cheese at the counter for take out (honey goat cheese is a personal fave) and they are very understanding. Chef actually made me a second sandwich free once bc my bread was "too small". Loved it haha! Check out their new Ballston location as well!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Positives: DELICIOUS gf mac and cheese and gf caprese paninis. Really, really tasty and gooey, just the way I wanted it. 😊

Negatives: Waiter was pretentious and arrogant when I asked him to show me what was gluten safe on the menu. "It goes without saying that all of the salads are gluten free" --- no, no it doesn't (croutons, salad dressing, etc.)

Verdict: Left fat and happy with the intent to return. I definitely had bloating later, but I think it was from cheese overload (lactose intolerant) rather than gluten. I do not know if their kitchen is celiac safe.

They can make their amazing Mac and cheeses gluten free! Wine is fabulous as is cheese. They also have gluten free bread for sandwiches. So good!
