We have a granddaughter with celiac disease, so finding restaurants with safe gluten-free options is always a priority. Grunow's offers an entirely gluten-free dinner menu, which gave us great peace of mind. We called in a takeout order, and both the service and the food were outstanding. In fact, while we were eating, my granddaughter asked, "Are you sure this is gluten-free? It tastes too good!" I assured her it was, although my inner voice was thinking, "We'll know for sure in about six hours." I'm happy to report it truly was gluten-free, and she had no issues at all. Delicious food, excellent service, and a restaurant that understands the importance of serving those with celiac disease safely. We highly recommend Grunow's! read more

Great food, but service could be a little slow. Although they were having a little trouble with consistent staffing, they were always friendly and provided surprisingly good food in spite of the fact they are gluten and nut free. This is a top spot for food allergies. read more

Second go around for us. Wife saw they were doing fried chicken and developed a need to go. Her plate came with macaroni and cheese, butter beans, and cornbread. All hit the spot and were tasty. GF daughter got the fish and chips with slaw. Fish was both crispy and tender and light. I had the salmon blackened with cauliflower & cheese and broccoli and the soup of the day - baked potato. I enjoyed the diced bacon in the soup and the gluten free croutons. Son had a bacon cheeseburger and subbed in a Caesar salad. We got some desserts to go, after a couple bites Tasty! The paintings on the walls were new and I thought well done. Till next time! read more

Food is pretty good, but a little pricey. But it is all gluten free and nut free. Great flavor for the food. Owner came around to everyone's table and we talked for quite a bit. She's a super sweet lady who loves serving people. Nice place that is a small business, which I love. They also have some pastries and cakes. read more

This is a small restaurant, but I've never had to wait for a table or for great customer service. My go to here is their chicken salad ... delish! The restaurant is always clean and I've never seen a dirty table. I've also met the owner when she stopped in -- when someone pours their heart into their business, it shines and the customers reap the benefits. read more

A+ service, price, food, and very inviting atmosphere. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything that was on the menu. The owners came up to me and politely introduced themselves and asked if I enjoyed everything. This place is very affordable, comfortable, and clean. Five stars read more

I tried this place with a friend who is gluten free. Everything here is gluten free and they have some great options. I had a Rueben sandwich and it was honestly really good! Would definitely eat here again and it's great if you need to eat gluten free. read more

Been here twice now and the food is really good. I didn't get pictures the second time but I did in the first one. Small place and only one server at lunch so you may wait a bit if it's crowded. She is really nice and does a great job though. The food is fresh and I think most of it is home made. Not 100% sure if the French Onion soup is homemade or started with a base. Regardless it was good. Also got the side salad with grilled chicken and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My second trip I got a grilled cheese. It was good. Very basic which isn't bad. Multigrain bread and I don't think they used butter. I think it was dry toasted but again was good. I also got a side salad. For an appetizer we got the Thai Bang Shrimp. Those were AMAZING! Very crunchy, sauce was very good, the shrimp were huge and not over cooked. Very good. Prices are decent. Ambience is very nice and they have board games which is really cool. read more

I saw this business post quite often during covid with take out offerings. The food always looked good. So today when we were shopping nearby I saw the eatery and we decided to stop in. It is located on the side of the strip mall. On entering there are a number of tables and business was steady. We chose a table near the back of the room and had a nice view of the touches of decor. The menu had lots of choices that interested me. I started with a nicely brewed unsweet tea. They have flavored teas and lemonades but not available without sugar. Various desserts are located to go near the entrance. Our server was attentive and pleasant. I went with the California burger without avocado and an upcharge side of loaded waffle fries. My husband's choice was the Yorktown, a roast beef sandwich with a side of coleslaw. My burger was huge and I never even got to taste it. That is because I filled up on those loaded waffle fries! I did not leave a morsel for a mouse! My husband devoured his sandwich, and while the coleslaw was very basic, he said it was tasty. Total bill with tax was $42 plus tip. I over heard other diners expressing their satisfaction with their meals as well. They seem to have some loyal customers that come in. I wouldn't mind becoming one of them. I really enjoyed the casual vibe, the menu selections and the nice meal and drink we enjoyed. read more

My husband has been eying up Grunow's Kitchen for a while now. We finally had the opportunity today. The are slightly tucked back. But, it's nice and quiet. Parking is perfect. There is a lot of room. Currently they do share the lot with McDonald's Garden center, but that is March-July. We were greeted instantly. They do dine in and take out. It was fairly quiet... ok we were the only people there. But, it was 2pm, after a lunch rush. The dining area is nice and quaint. The food was good. Not as impressed as we thought we would. My husband had issues with his meal. He had the fish n chips. The breading On the fish look like it was tempura breading. But it wasn't cooked all the way through so it was a little soggy and the fish made the breading very soggy in the end. He had sweet potato wedges as his side. But because the potato wedges were all different sizes some cooked more than the others the larger ones were not cooked all the way through. I did enjoy my chicken salad but it did come out warm which I thought was a little odd I was expecting chicken salad to come out cold. Other than that everything else seem to be OK At the time to pay the bill I tried to redeem for my free iced tea via the LoveVA App, but the waitress did not know how to do that. But, she took care of it in the end. Turn off for me, was when the waitress went out to get a smoke. She came back smelling like the smoke. Instant turn off. I was going to get the lemon pound cake dessert, but I could not do the smoke smell. Other than that, she was gray. Nice, polite and helpful. My husband said he was good to not go back again. Part of me wonders if it was just an off day. read more

This is our first time coming here, and we were not disappointed. My dietary needs changed and it's a great place if you need to be gluten free and dairy free. The entire restaurant is gluten free, which is great for those with gluten sensitivity. The food was excellent, we got a bang bang shrimp appetizer and it was delicious, I then got the crab cake sandwich, and my husband got a pepper jack burger. My son got Mac and cheese from the kids menu. Everything was excellent, and this will be our usual spot from now on. Service was great, the waitress answered all of our questions and served us well. The restaurant is very clean inside and decorated nicely. Please go and give this place a try, they have a lot of options on the menu to fit everyone's needs. read more

Awesome, gluten free menu and expertly prepared..friendly staff. Hidden location..must seek it out read more

Finally had the chance to come in here! I wish I had seen the specials board, I noticed it after we had ordered our food since it was our first time. I kept my eyes peeled for what others had ordered to see what I wanna try next time. The chicken Alfredo had lots of veggies and flavor which I LOVED! The chicken bites were definitely breast meat. It was good as well. The girls ate the loaded mashed potatoes so fast! The food was super fresh and full of flavor. Water, tea, and lemonade are the beverage options.... No soda which I LOVED! They do have a cocktail menu. The chef came out and brought the torte and was so sweet! She definitely takes pride in her food. The girls totally ate it up within a minute! It is a flourless chocolate cake basically... more like a fudge or hard mouse consistency. The place is semi small and cozy. We will definitely be back. It is expensive though.... However I figured that going into the place being marketed as a fresh food place. read more

Love this spot! Been a customer since they first opened. Food is fresh and delicious. Yorktown lacks in quality food spots so this is such a great addition. The services can be a little on the slow side, but it's great for when you just want to have a calm relaxing lunch, and not feel rushed! One of my favorite meals is the pasta dish with chicken. One of my absolute favorites. I wish I would have taken a photo! Very friendly staff. I hope they continue to thrive! read more

Service was wonderful, food was delicious, and restaurant was clean. Easy listening music! Great restaurant and I love that it is gluten free menu! read more

Grunow's Kitchen - Chicken Alfredo with broccoli and mushrooms! - New American Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Sorry, but I just can't get onboard here. It was somewhat of a bad experience from the get go. Mind you, these COVID-19 times are testing all of us, so it's understandable things are a bit off, but there's always room for improvement. It was a Friday of a holiday weekend, the sole survivors in the office and I (3 of us in total) decided to go out for lunch for a rare treat. We called and made a reservation. No one on the phone notified us of their policy regarding how long they hold your table. Once there, we were informed "sorry, but after 5 minutes we will give reserved tables away). I looked at my watch, we were 7 minutes late... no bueno! So, we ordered food to go and sat in the waiting area until it was ready, I mean workin' folk gotta work, right? But a las, when I tried to order a Diet Coke, the lady who I presume to be the owner, with a snobbish tone replied, "we pride ourselves on offering healthy choices here, so no sugary drinks are sold." Ok then, pardon me your highness, I thought. So I ordered a lemonade. However, the irony was not lost on me, I'm pretty sure there was plenty of sugar in that lemonade. Anyway, an easy 20 minutes go by and we see plenty of people come in and get seated, while some others leave. So we thought, let's see if we can change our to-go order to stay here. Ok, they responded, we can seat you now. It's almost like we were able to expedite everything by ordering first, relaxing in the comfy chairs in the "lobby" and then eat there anyway. Though it still took a very long time to get our food. The food? Meh! I ordered fish, it was ok, but a bit dry. My sweet potato fries? The best part of my meal. Both of my table mates ordered a pasta dish and they both remarked the pasta was under cooked. This also was the determining factor to discover the pasta was not fresh, but boxed. So much for their scratch homemade healthy schtick. Look, I don't mean to pile, because some folk might totally disagree, however, in my humble opinion they put out a vibe of pretentiousness and their food doesn't back it up. In addition, their prices were too high for the pedestrian product they were laying down on our table. Generally if it's just a glitch I'll give a joint a second go round, but if they're all snobbed out like these jack wagons were? Pass! Not this guy! But hey, you guys decide for yourself. Cheers! read more

I love having a 100% gluten-free kitchen in the area where the possibilities are endless. I ordered the Club and my friend ordered the burger. We both also had the loaded fries as our side. The fries were the best part. The service is always quick and of course we had to get dessert on our way out. read more

Gluten free menu with great food and good service. Cozy atmosphere. Had the Mac n cheese was better than I was expecting

A stylish kitchen cafe tucked just off Route 17 near the McReynolds Athletic Complex- we're glad to add this to our list of favorites after stumbling across it. My wife and I had a very pleasant lunch here. She had this fabulous Waldorf-style salad with shrimp. They "get" shrimp here. These were perfectly seasoned and sautéed. This made for a bright spicy taste which paired up well with apples and leafy greens. I had the chicken and vegetable Alfredo with a Caesar salad on the side. Much like the shrimp, my chicken was well seasoned and sautéed to be golden and juicy. Both portions were generous but not so much that we needed a nap after lunch. Our waitress was charming and knowledgeable. She shared how this restaurant prides itself on being gluten and nut free. Which is great news for food sensitives, but other folks should in no way be put off: the food was great. And I have to add... this is by far, the cleanest restaurant I have ever been in! read more

Super cute dedicated gluten free spot with great service. The muffin was wonderful but I had to stop by for their pop-up breakfast because I've never had a gluten free biscuit. I'm happy to report it was also good. read more

Wife and I went there early afternoon for lunch. No one in the place but it was after lunch so not a big deal. Wife ordered a turkey sub with salad and I ordered a cheeseburger with coleslaw. Service was ok and place looked alright, but for almost $45 you would expect more than a Sam's club hamburger patty and a bowl of chopped cabbage with absolutely no dressing on it. Wife said the sub was lunch meat "probably from a grocery store". Overpriced for food I can easily make at home. I can't imagine how the reviews are so good. The food is just mediocre and the price is ridiculous. read more

I stopped in yesterday for a bite to eat coming from Maryland traveling to Chesapeake. Friendly atmosphere, very clean and organized. The food was wonderful and the desserts were amazing! I had a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie(don't judge me!). Both were sooo good! My favorite is the chocolate chip cookie, though. It's so good to have a place to go to where I can safely eat a meal and enjoy it too! I will definitely be back! read more

Food options are good, but the prices are a bit high for the area this is in. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.

We have wanted to try this place for a while based on reviews. We tried twice at dinner and were told both times that they couldn't serve us because they were closing early. A lady apologized but explained they were having staffing issues. We finally went for lunch and got in. We were excited to try. However once seated we were given a list of all the things they weren't serving because they were out of food. I ordered the jalapeño jack burger. My burger was just ok. It wasnt hot but my biggest issue was the bun. It was old and tasted stale so I only ate the bottom bun. My side was mac n cheese because they were out of fries, and it too was just ok. The food reminded me of cafeteria food and for the price I expected better. We wont go back. read more

Great place to stop and grab a bite to eat. Food is great and staff are very friendly!

This is my husband's and my new favorite restaurant. The chefs are absolutely excellent! Everything is made to order and literally perfect. Flavors are really beautiful, salmon is always perfectly cooked, and sides are scrumptious! We also love the cheerful atmosphere, low background music, and excellent service. It's a gluten free and nut free restaurant, which also makes it a great restaurant for keto diets. You really must try it. You will not be disappointed! read more

Gets a C for effort, but the food is something you can make in your kitchen at home and nothing to write home about.

We love this hidden gem! It's small but high quality, we've been here a few times and every time it's been amazing! We're hoping it lasts because it's sooooo good, but they're under staffed. So if you know someone awesome who needs a job, apply here!!!! We want it to stay open forever read more
