RA Bistro

Food is ok. A little weird how they don’t label anything on the menu gf or at least have a separate gf menu… I shouldn’t have to ask the server, then have them run to the back each time to make sure something can be made gluten free.

We ate dinner here on the recommendation of our hotelier and this app! The food was great and the staff were sensitive to requests for gluten free food.

Waitress was knowledgeable about separate surfaces and what was safe to eat on the menu. No fries, but anything with bread or pasta could be subbed- I had a burger with garlic mashed per the last persons review- delicious! Did not get sick.

What a great little spot. They adjoin Cinn City - who also offers GF cinnamon bun. The staff at RA was kind enough to go get me a cinnamon bun even though Cinn City was closed.

One BIG update - RA changed their steak fries so they are no longer GF. They also said they couldn’t guarantee that the oil was GF - so nothing fried. :( That was a little disappointing - but at least they told me.

I had the classic burger and garlic mashed potatoes. It was worth the drive.

The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten allergies and they verified everything with the kitchen before placing my order.

I’ll be back on my next visit to Lynchburg!

Even more than 5 stars!! I declared the RA burger the best burger I’ve ever had, seriously. The GF bun was sturdy, TOASTED, and flavorful. Burger was juicy and cooked perfectly. Fries were super fresh. My husband equally enjoyed his Garbage Burger and sweet potato fries. In town for only a few days, we were easily convinced to return for weekend brunch. Unfortunately their signature French toast and waffles are not available GF. But only because it was a slow morning (I.e. don’t ask or expect on a busy Sunday brunch or at prime time), the manager asked the cook to prepare French toast with the hamburger buns. It was great! Mine was the Lumberjack with cinnamon apples and chopped bacon. My husband had savory grilled chicken with his improvised French toast. Both were so good. A different manager visited our table each visit and they are serious about cross contamination. Excellent service from all involved. Outstanding food. Go there!!

This place is nice! Items are not marked but they have gf buns and pasta that will allow a nice selection. Server was knowledgeable and knew there was a shred fryer and the hollandaise sauce was not gf. They serve brunch on the weekends until 2 as well as the whole menu.

The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful. They said they changed gloves and utensils when preparing my meal. There was no specific gluten free menu, you had to ask. They had delicious gluten free buns for their amazing burgers. Their fries are cooked in a non-dedicated fryer but they are happy to replace the side of fries for any of their other side. Definitely want to go back soon!
