Grain & Grill — Restaurant in Virginia

Pro tip for vegans: don’t leave this location to be the last meal of the day (unless you’ve already squirreled away roasted veggies from outpost in a container. I love up&up reusable snack bags for this purpose. Super durable and leakproof) because they will 100% be out of the veggie stir fry, and you’ll want to adorn your rice with something.

This place has the “3 sides plus hummus and naan” as their vegetarian meal plan option. (But the naan isn’t vegan, so hummus alone is our freebie)

During my previous visit, I managed to get the stir fry, since I visited around 11 am, but I think they’ve changed the ingredients since. (You can always take a peek in the ingredient binder. They usually have it out on the counter, or you can ask them)

This time, at 8:30 pm, we got one scoop of (plain white) rice and 2 cups of the tomato and cucumber salad. (I would have asked for 2 scoops of rice instead of the extra cup of veggies if I had known how small it was going to be. Oops! I got the free cup of hummus and a little bit of the Korean BBQ sauce in a little 2-oz cup.

The rice was nicely cooked and fragrant. The Korean BBQ sauce on the rice was a nice departure from plain rice without the benefit of a stir fry component. The tomato & cucumber salad had a really nice fresh basil flavor.

They have a few tables outside...

The food was interesting. The sign says international... but its just Mediterranean style to me... It reminded me of a Zoes kitchen. All the options were great. My only issue was my food was cold. It seemed that the lights the food was sitting under wasn't keeping the food hot at all. The prices were steep but that is normal for a theme park. I ended up paying over $30 for 2 meals, and no drinks were included. Once you get your food you have to walk behind the register and out a side door which puts you in a small courtyard with tables to sit and eat your food... and the courtyard has a vendor selling alcoholic beverages to...

We ducked in here to avoid rain and grab food. We asked what was gluten free and they brought out the list for us to see. The executive chef came out to walk us through and was very kind and friendly. He explained his family members were also gluten free so this place was made with them in mind. He also shared a couple of other options throughout the park and noted there were gluten free buns throughout the park.

Overall super accommodating and kind. Really good food - get the olive topenade and cheesy...
