When I went and asked about the pancakes, they told me that they were unable to make them off the shared griddle. Not possible to get any of the breakfast options safely bc of the griddle and no safe bread set up for sandwiches. I ended up leaving without ordering food as I did not feel safe to eat there.

They have delicious gf pancakes and we were told many of the items on the breakfast menu can be made gf with slight adjustments. When the server couldn’t tell us if something was gf, he made sure to check before offering it to us. In order the black bean huevos rancheros made with corn tortillas and it was very good!

I have eaten here multiples times with no problem. They are knowledgeable and accommodating about ingredients and cross contamination. Last time I had the salmon with potatoes and veggies. It was delicious.

Food was okay and they knew which options on the menu were gluten free. I felt safe eating here- but boy was service bad…

They have a small menu but there are gluten free options (and pancakes!). The gluten free pancakes were actually fluffier than the gluten ones! The food comes out extremely fast. The only problem — the restaurant is cold!

I ordered gluten free pancakes. They messed up my order and had to remake it. The second time the pancakes came out they didn't have a flag to indicate if they were gluten free. The waiter never came to check on us so I couldn't ask and ended up not being able to eat.

Big Sky is a great place for a casual gluten free meal! They have gluten free pancakes that are delicious and they will make on a separate pan if asked to. For their sandwiches, they have gluten free bread. Ask about a gluten free toaster before ordering to be sure! Staff is accommodating and attentive so be sure to ask any questions.

The GF pancakes are so yummy! Fluffy with a little crispiness, which I love. Gave if four stars because I can’t say for certain that thing were 100% celiac safe as I didn’t ask. I’m still getting the nerve up to ask all the needed questions

Delicious breakfast, but the server said there was nothing in place to prevent cross-contamination in the kitchen. The other people in my party loved their food, but I just had coffee and fruit.

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Lots of different food choices and lots of gluten free and vegetarian or vegan options as well. Food was delicious. Very casual but fun little place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate here years ago with no problems. However, I ate here today. I was explicit about my food allergies and got sick immediately. Proceed with caution.

I had the shoushuka, which wasn't listed as gf, because it comes with flatbread. I had asked & was told, then asked if it should be left off, which I said no to, since my husband was interested in having extra. It is served without touching the entree. They give the table great muffins, but gluten-free breads are not available. There are still a lot of tasty options. Fresh local produce and spices.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Many gluten free options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of healthy hearty GF options. Vegan friendly also. Service was slow but they were very busy. No tummy ache afterwards. Yay!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac here. Spent a lot of time carefully discussing safe menu options for a celiac, issues of cross contamination, and decided to get the pozole without the corn bread. I did not even make it out of the restaurant without getting violently ill. Celiacs beware!

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Servers are knowledgeable about how food is prepared and about cross contamination. There are a lot of GF options on the menu. Just don't eat anything from the fryer (including tortilla chips). I'm a super sensitive celiac and I didn't get sick! Good food, good service. Hooray!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice place. Had lunch here yesterday. Fish tacos were good and had no problems afterwards, so perfectly gluten free. Friendly staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Casual comfortable clean😊 The waitress was very knowledgeable about the items, of which there were several to choose from. (Dessert too !) The chicken soft taco plate was yummy filling and fresh! Great portion too I didn't ask about cross contamination ) but I'm still alive so that's a good sign) 👍

Simply superb! :-) Healthy organic gluten free food galore! For years I've been eating here and always experience friendly service, a tasty gf food selection to choose from at a reasonable cost. Such a popular place so it can tend to get a bit noisy. I'm gluten sensitive and get away with eating a small portion (1 mini muffin--as they serve 3) the yummy signsture homemade cornbread....it does have a bit of wheat flour but it doesn't seem to bother me...but obviously, stay away if Celiac. Enjoy! :-)

Popped in for lunch on our drive up the coast. Phenomenal entree size salads! Our server was super knowledgable and friendly (even cautioned me about the blue cheese on the salad I ordered). Everything was fresh and well-made. ...including the GF strawberry rhubarb cake!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our favorite spot in SLO! Plenty of GF options, great atmosphere and the best desserts ever!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF friendly, but fairly mediocre meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

wow... so good I'm stuffed. got the braised lamb shank with sweet potato fries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The cheesecake is to die for!

So yummy! They had a decent sized gluten free menu and were able to accommodate for my dairy allergy too! I will definitely be going back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing fish tacos and pho noodle soup!!! No reaction! Also I'm in love with cheesecake and they have a very delicious gluten free cake! Crust is with pecans and topped with a chocolate covering. So delicious!

They have a "gluten-free menu," but when I asked about cross-contamination, I was told that they will absolutely NOT use separate preparation or cooking areas or pans or utensils. I was assured in no uncertain terms that cross-contamination would occur in their kitchen. I left without ordering. What a disappointment. Two points for being honest about it.

Extensive gluten free menu!
