It was a SUPER busy place on a Sunday. If it’s more than just you expect to wait the parking lot was a bit chaotic too. The food was great ( seemed fresh) with options for everyone including dairy and gluten free.

Fun vibes, lots of gluten free options on the menu. The gluten-free pancakes are so large that one is enough for me to feel full. They've got a rotation of special flavored pancakes to match the seasons, most recently I had the churro pancakes and they were delicious! I'd skip their cold brew though, personally. But their orange juice is amazing!

We think this is a gem of a place - great gluten free fried chicken that doesn't taste like it is gluten free. It has a laid back feel with friendly staff that seem like they enjoy working there. We love the feed the whole family platters and almost always bring our parents when they are in town. We have found it is help to put in for a reservation even if it is the same day. Check out the one in Estes Park too!

Love Tangerine! This week I was there once for breakfast and also once for lunch as I had a friend in town who was staying nearby. Both times we had a lovely experience! I dined outside as well as inside and was an equally good experience although with great weather the patio was very refreshing. I had the grilled chicken sandwich for lunch and substituted for the gluten free bread. Instead of fries, substituted the side salad. For breakfast I enjoyed the breakfast tacos. Highly recommend Noel he was a great server!

As a guest of Woodgrain this past week, we unfortunately had an experience that was very difficult. My wife and I placed our order and worked with the cashier to communicate clearly that my wife was celiac. The cashier was very well trained, explained their process to limit cross contamination, shared fryers, etc. As a celiac you are always a bit nervous eating out, but we felt comfortable with our interaction and confidence in Woodgrains procedures. We sat down, enjoyed our coffees and waited for our food. A team member promptly brought us our food, the GF flag directly placed in one bagel. We had ordered the same dish, a Brooklyn. Both looked delicious. Both of us ate a few bites and quickly realized that the bagel labeled GF was a gluten bagel and had been enjoyed by my wife and I had enjoyed her GF bagel. Panic quickly set in as we rushed inside to communicate the mistake. The manager quickly and sincerely apologized as we took down some info and ran out. A hospital visit and multiple days of sickness has ensued. As well as a call from the owner, who also was sincerely apologetic. We stepped away from this experience disappointed that a team takes the time to train their staff on proper procedure to deal with and communicate allergies, but completely drop the ball on follow through and making a guest very ill. We know it wasn’t intentional, we hope this helps others understand the serious nature of food service and the time and effort it takes to perform at 100% all the time under immense pressure.
