Food for Thought

Excellent experience! I've been pre-celiac and went for th first time post diagnosis. We ordered in person and took to go. I still got a GF dinner roll and had a separate bag of food.

Wonderful experience!! I had salmon with grits and asparagus with cheese sauce....so good. The chocolate flourless cake was delicious! They were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to keep my food safe. Even came out with a little flag to identify gluten free. Will definitely go again.

They seem to be very allergy conscious but I got the gf eggplant parm and my nima found gluten. They remade me some pad Thai and it was fine. Would be careful

Celiac friendly?

No

Extensive gluten free menu with a wide variety of options. The waiter noticed my gf menu and immediately offered to put in a request for a gf roll, which came wrapped in protective aluminum foil. That kind of attention to detail is critical for safe food. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Go and enjoy yourself!

This place was phenomenal! They have an entire GF menu including appetizers, several entrees and 4 desserts! When the waitress saw I had a GF menu, she asked me about it and right away put in an order for a GF roll. The roll was quite good. I had veggies and hummus for an appetizer, spaghetti squash with pesto sauce and rice for my entree and a slice of chocolate flourless cake with ice cream for dessert. I plan to go back for breakfast because they have GF French toast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wait staff very informed regarding gluten allergy. They have a separate gluten free menu with recommendations as to modifications to be made to alter food selections. Appetizers to desserts. Nice selections available. I had steak salad with gluten free roll. No concerns.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A year later and this place is still very delicious!! They definitely know how to treat their customers with allergies. They have so many options but I just can’t resist their cilantro lime chicken. And the redskin mashers, excellent!! Very tasting! Oct 2019

Back again. 2018 Still delicious!! One of our favorite places to eat in Williamsburg. They treat you well and you will leave this place thinking about it and wanting to go again.

This place is definitely a must try. They have their own gluten-free menu. Served me a warm and tasty dinner roll wrapped in foil. I was undecided so I ordered the combo jerk chicken with mango salsa and the cilantro lime chicken. They both were excellent but I have to say my favorite was the cilantro lime chicken it was outstanding, with mashed red potatoes and grilled zucchini. The owner (a nice professional looking gentlemen) came out and introduced himself and invited us to come back for breakfast. The food was hot, the service was quick and overall it was a very pleasant experience. Enjoy!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgable about celiac and cross contamination. My son with celiac got the steak with chimichurri sauce and said it was delicious. It is a shared fryer so they baked his french fries. The rest of the family enjoyed their meals as well. Very busy, no reservations but you do priority seating by calling ahead.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waiter saw the GF menu in front of me and asked if I was celiac, very knowledgeable. They had a GF roll, I had the bacon wrapped scallops, rice with mushrooms with a side of asparagus and a lemon butter sauce. It was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had high hopes for this place based on the other reviews but for us, it just kind of fell short. The food was ok, but nothing fantastic like we expected.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our family has one Celiac, one Vegan and one Vegetarian and this place was great for all of us. I just got eggs and house potatoes with toast and it was delicious even though basic. I also got the grapefruit brûlée and that was definitely a new find to keep in mind

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful place. Didn’t get sick! Great staff

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This being the best food in town, it gets extremely crowded for dinner. Walked in at 6:30 and was seated at 7:10. No reservations are taken. I ordered the Down South (fancy shrimp and grits) and it was delicious. Not enough shrimp though (only 3-4 medium size). I had some pretty intense bloating afterwards, so I suspect this place is not safe for celiac.

I have several food allergies and every staff member was concerned and happy to help. I think that we will definitely return to this lovely restaurant!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place really knows what they are doing for gluten challenges. The wait staff are educated and knowledgeable and can provide guidance and suggestions. Most of the menu can be altered, and the selections are numerous. Even a gluten free roll with the bread course as an extra treat. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Celiac friendly?

Extensive GF menu and food was fabulous.

Celiac friendly?

Staff was very knowledgeable and went out of their way to explain their menu! They brought me a gluten-free menu, gluten-free roll, etc. Food was excellent, and I even got to have dessert! I will be going back!!!

Celiac friendly?

The food isn’t mind-blowing, but it’s safe and pretty good. They really get food allergies and celiac. Server was wonderful and attentive and very careful to let me know what was and wasn’t safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac and food was good enough and safe. Had the chicken combo plate and preferred the jerk chicken with mango relish over the lime cilantro. Returned and had the ribs which were superior. Save room for dessert.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Hands down one of the best celiac friendly restaurants I have ever been to. We went twice for lunch during our visit to Williamsburg. Both times the staff was attentive and knowledgeable. They kindly made sure to verify GF or any other diet sensitivity for each order we placed. They have delicious GF buns. They baked the fries instead of frying them. During our second visit the mananger came out and talked to us about their processes to keep the GF food same. She informed us that they recently started using a GF tester for quality control to ensure their processes are safe. Wonderful place!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I don’t do reviews often, but this place is absolutely amazing! The gf French Toast was heavenly. My son got gf vegan French Toast and it was also mouth watering. The service was 5 star! Breakfast is only open on Saturdays and Sundays.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free menu. Knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend!!

Celiac friendly?

French toast was wonderful. Everyone in my party had great meals!

Extensive GF menu. Very knowledgeable staff. Went for my birthday dinner and was not disappointed. Even brought me an individually wrapped GF roll which was warm and delicious. Everything was great. Highly recommend.

AMAZING!!! The waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable about celiac and the menu. The cilantro lime chicken is out of this world and all pf the desert are delicious. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Just like everyone said. Conscientious staff, confirmation of your order and awareness of celiac in the back by the owner. Positive result. Go here, food is great. Lime chicken was excellent by any standard. Fries can be baked and were very good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac’s do not get gf pasta! They were very knowledgeable about cross contamination and was told they use separate pots and strainers but my son is throwing up this morning after eating there last night. They had such great reviews from others so I think we would go again but get something different.

Celiac friendly?

No

This is the best meal of our trip! Our server Ames, and all the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. They were so knowledgeable about GF issues and have an extensive GF menu! The food was amazing! And they have cute conversation cards on the table! Don’t miss his place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent service, tasty gluten-free options and exceptionally friendly staff.

I got the Thai noodles and it was delicious!!! There was so much food I got a doggie bag for it. They do not have breakfast just lunch and dinner. There’s a multi page gluten free menu and there’s gf rolls they bring to the table.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ate here a couple of times while on vacation. LOVE IT! Extensive options for gluten free. Bread brought to the table! (If you want more, its $1 a roll, which I think is totally reasonable). Our food was delicious both times. I had the Caprese appetizer, as did my daughter. We both loved it. I had the chicken both nights (one night did the combo of Cilantro Lime and Jamaican jerk, and the next time had just the Cilantro Lime). Lots of side item choices. My daughter had the burger...I tasted the bun and it was good! Had the chocolate dessert one night which was also delicious. Knowledgeable staff and fantastic service. I wish we had a place like this close to home.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Extensive GF menu, carefully prepared. Very knowledgeable wait staff (and hostess!!!)... GF bread served ($1 if you want more bread- worth it!)... Manager came out and discussed GF/Celiac procedures with us. Not only was it safe but DELICIOUS! Even ended the meal with dessert (several to choose from)....

My Celiac daughter was thrilled to have a gluten free menu that flipped. The food and service was excellent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We loved his place! They have a gluten free menu with many choices. As we sat down and mentioned that I am gluten free, the waiter immediately requested a gluten free roll on his iPad. It was warm and delicious. They offered butter and dairy free margarine which was great. Everything about this place is wonderful, food, atmosphere and staff. The staff all seem to enjoy working there and speak highly of the owner who is often on-site. The GF flourless chocolate cake was delicious and the presentation was lovely. We absolutely loved our waiter Ian and will be sure to return!!

Food For Thought is a great restaurant. they have an entire gluten free menu to include appetizers and desert ootions. the owner even came out to talk to us. they are very celiac awareness, and the food was amazing.

Gluten free bread to start, can't beat that. They made my daughter a grilled cheese and gluten free fries (they had to bake them, no dedicated fryer) and she was so happy. The waiter was very attentive and made sure the meal was safe. Excellent!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu. Friendly staff. A great find!

Fantastic options for Gf. Wait staff very knowledgeable. Fun vibe to the meal experience.

Omelette was okay I think it had cheese sauce rather then cheese in it. Wasn't too impressed. Parking is an issue lots of warnings about getting towed.

They had a lot of gluten free options, we're very knowledgeable, and even had gluten free dinner rolls. We were traveling and actually ate here twice in a row because the food was so good, there were so many options, and best of all it was safe for me!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had a gluten free menu. We had gluten free dinner rolls. I had the eggplant Parmesan gluten free and dairy free. They actually had a raspberry hazelnut torte that was gluten free and vegan. When one is both gluten and dairy free there is never dessert. My kids had gluten free Mac and cheese, not something we find very often. My food was delicious, good service and dessert!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food here is always great. Yesterday was my first visit after becoming allergic to gluten. The server offered a GF menu right away with many options and even brought me a GF roll. I had the shrimp and grits and definitely enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent!!! It was a wonderful treat to have a healthy, well-rounded, and delicious meal in a touristy area.

Attentive staff regarding celiac needs and other allergies. Delicious food!

Celiac friendly?

EXCELLENT! I have multiple food sensitivities (gluten and nightshades), and all levels of staff took them seriously. A manager sat down with me to discuss what they could do to accommodate me. She even brought one of the recipes out so I could double-check the ingredients! The gluten-free rolls arrived warm and toasty, in individual foil wrap to prevent cross-contamination. I highly recommend the Roasted Beet Salad. We ate dinner there 3 times on our vacation because the food was so good and they were so attentive. Can't wait to go back the next time we're in Williamsburg!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

staff and manager we're Amazing and very knowledgeable! the food was very good and fresh. Didn't have room for dessert but was so excited to see they actually had gf options. Will be going back again.

The ribs are fantastic! They have a gluten free menu with actual variety, amazing desserts, and they bring you a gluten free roll, wrapped in foil, with real butter. Amazing.
