Try our Red Velvet & Pecan crusted chicken waffle. It is all made GF 🤤

On safety—A dedicated space in the kitchen is provided for prepping any items that are gluten-free and also a section where all gluten-free sandwiches are cooked and prepared. We only make gluten-free fried chicken in our restaurant so there is no cross contamination inside our fryers.

Absolutely love this place. The crunchy chicken inside the waffle with the maple syrup is delicious. I’ve been there twice when visiting my mom in the area. Not a place I’d want to sit and eat in. I pick it up and eat it on the drive home. It is messy so keep that in mind and have some hand wipes available. Never got sick and everything except the Mac and cheese is gluten free from what I recall.

I was so excited to try this place for the first time since being diagnosed with Celiac’s disease, and a wheat and dairy allergy, but unfortunately I think I was glutened by my amazing waffle. I ordered at the kiosk in the shop, and selected the dairy free, gluten free waffle, I even asked one of the employees if the dairy free, gluten free option was also celiac safe, and prepared on a dedicated waffle maker. The employee assured me it was safe, but I am now experiencing the same stomach woes that come within an hour of ingesting gluten. It was very busy today, so maybe there was so cross contamination involved in my order. I would be willing to try this place again, but am very sad that I got sick from my delicious waffle.

Let me start with the food is great - very fun and funky menu. Everything is served sandwich style. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The place is TINY and seating is limited. You order at the counter and they call your name when food is ready. Everything is served “to go” Parking - you have to park up the street and pay for public parking and walk a very short distance to the cafe. Parking is cheap - $2.00 maximum. A positive experience

The food was awful, the waffles were so tough and dry I could barely bite into them and chewing them caused my jaw to ache. They tasted stale and overall just not good. My husband had the regular waffles and even he wasn’t impressed. They also charge a service charge on top of the tip I gave them, which had I known how awful the food was I wouldn’t have given as high of a tip. Worst experience ever with a restaurant as highly rated on here as this one is. I have no idea why it gets such good reviews.

I was glad to see that they had gluten free options. However, the gluten free paffles are not made of puff pastry like the regular ones are. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese with avocado and greens. The aioli was the only delicious part of the sandwich. I also had a sweet one that had a cream, chocolate, and maybe caramel, and I was not impressed with it either.

It was so good we ate here twice on a three day trip. Everything except the max and cheese is available gluten free. Staff was knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. Dedicated waffle makers for the GF waffles and only GF things in the fryer, including FRIED CHICKEN! Highly recommend the fried chicken with grits option - absolutely delicious. We also tried a couple of egg options but the fried chicken was our favorite. Specify you need GF when ordering and you will be fine - sister and I are both celiac and had zero reaction. Enjoy!

Amazing Paffles/waffle sandwich. I got the egg, sausage, bacon, spicy mayo and cheese. So good and dedicated waffle iron. Everything is gf except the gluten waffle option and anything with Mac and Cheese. You can also get fried chicken sandwich but I didn’t think I could stomach that for breakfast.

Loved the food at Paffles! I ordered The Machine which is steak, egg, cheese, and grilled onions with a special sauce on a GF waffle that was soft and dense. Loved it! All ordering on site is through a kiosk with card or digital payment only. After ordering, we grabbed our drinks from the fridge and had a short wait for our food. Great food!

Can’t say enough about this gem! The menu inside isn’t updated, but they now have Gf fried chicken in addition to a full menu of gf options. I tried the Gf fried chicken #3 and the choriz today. It was so good I was worried I would get sick, but they took great care with the order, and I’m still feeling great! Highly recommend this to anyone in Charlottesville!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The paffles are fabulous, they are very good about cross contamination and take special precautions for celiac, everything on the menu can be made gf, even their fried chicken paffles!

This was my first visit, and I am beyond impressed! The young lady who owns and runs the business was Very knowledgeable about proper procedures to avoid CC. She even had a "Only GF" griddle to make the waffles on.

I got a Build Your Own with Nutella and Almond Whip, and it is amazing!

I will be in the area for an internship soon, and I will Definitely be back!

They have an explicit option between gluten sensitivity and celiac on their order kiosk.

I have eaten here a lot and have never gotten sick from this.

I searched on here to find a place where I could eat, in the area I was, I read all the reviews and picked this place for our breakfast this morning and did not disappoint. I had the GF Rise’n’Iron (blueberries and whipped cream) my husband had the regular Iron Glory (eggs, bacon and cheese). Delicious

Had 3 different Paffles to sample. 1) The Cannoli: OMG! This was the first cannoli type food I’ve had in 7 years. I added Nutella which made this a gooey, sweet mess I was happy to scarf down. The paffles are super light and fluffy inside with a slight crunch on the outer crust. Heaven! 2) The PB&J made with almond whip and seasonal maple pumpkin preserves. While not my go to type of sandwich, this was delicious. 3) The Iron Glory: this is usually made with siracha mayo. My dad (who ordered the sandwich) can’t do heat, so it was plain Mayo did him. This was a mind blower! The eggs were super fluffy, about a half an inch thick and fit the paffle exactly. Add to that a perfect amount of cheese and bacon that was not fatty nor undercooked. It was crispy, lean and piled high. It tasted as good as it looked. It’s a good thing these little beauties (that’ll fill you up or make 2 meals) come in a special holder and are wrapped to contain all the ingredients. I live about 2 hours from Charlottesville and do have to travel there several times this fall. Luckily, Iron Paffles and More is not far from UVA Medical Center. I’ve planned my next few orders already. All of our order was gluten free as 2 of us have gluten issues. All the Paffles were baked to perfection. Iron Made takes care to ensure that cross contamination risk is minimal. No after effects for either of us. I’ve already found gf puff pastry to order online so I can imitate these as best as I can after my traveling to C’ville ceases. I would drive the 2 hours just for one of these incredibly yummy treats!

I don’t know if food comes out flagged gf if there are any non-gluten free items ordered. Our entire order was gf.

Even though they have a gf menu, your options are not limited to that menu. The staff will help you with all options, I ordered online and ordered from the “regular” menu. I was given the option to order all items gluten free in the ordering page.

It was amazing! They have a specific area for gluten free orders, change gloves and everything. I’m very sensitive and didn’t get sick at all. Got a savory and a sweet and both were amazing.
