The GF markers on the menu are helpful, but the server I had was not knowledgeable or helpful. When I inquired about whether the gluten free flatbreads are prepared in the same areas as the ones with gluten, she said, "yeah, but it is fine," and when I inquired further she said they wouldn't be touching each other. She seemed rushed, and I was with a group so didn't feel comfortable inquiring further or asking for any particular precautions.

Knowledgeable staff and separate fryer. We had the rib-eye chili, rice balls, truffle French fries and Chilean sea bass. The sea bass was GF with the omission of the potato gnocchi. It was beyond delicious. Such an enjoyable night out! Will be back!

This place is wonderful. The food is exquisite and they have a dedicated fryer. We went on a beautiful early October day after apple picking around 3:30 and had no wait. The server knew what celiac was. We had the rice balls, chicken wings, and one of the specials, butternut squash and peach flatbread. Everything was delicious, and the flatbread was heaven! My boyfriend who does not have celiac looked and me and was wondering if the pizza was actually gluten free because of how good it was. I would definitely go back.

Delicious food, great atmosphere. The fried calamari was amazing. Can't wait to go back and try out some other dishes!

Warning: Watch out for IPA marinated items labeled gluten free - according to the server the IPA beer used contains gluten!

From beginning to end our experience was fabulous. Many gluten free items on the menu and clearly marked. Our server, Brooke was fantastic! She was friendly and extremely helpful with suggestions for gluten free selections that she herself loved. We started with the GF Pork Belly appetizer that was out of this world in taste and the sauce was amazing. The GF Chicken Milanese Burrata was delicious as my entree and the GF Creme Brûlée for dessert was so creamy and light. The non gluten free Kobe Burger got rave reviews as did the Chocolate Chip Cookie dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone searching for a safe and truly incredible dining experience! Ask for Brooke as she made the visit truly memorable!!

Once again, FMGF has done us good! We were traveling and caught in terrible traffic on I84 and decided to try and stop for an early dinner. Barnwood Grill is a great find. The prices are reasonable and the food was great. Cute upscale atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. My kid asked for a pizza style flat bread which wasn’t on the menu but they happily prepared. The fries are done in a dedicated fryer which always makes my kid happy.

The lemon chicken burratta was delicious and hard to believe GF.

Non GF Kobe burger was excellent as well. Really good flavor combinations in a nice atmosphere.

Entrees, flatbreads and burgers all had an upscale flair with great flavor combinations. Entree prices were $19-30 for most things, burgers were around $15 and came with fries. Dinner for 4 came in just under $100 (1 alcoholic beverage included).
