A place that advertises an entirely separate GF oven and has vegan cheese sounds perfect for our family. But their GF dough is made of wheat starch, which is NOT sufficiently free of protein for many with celiac and anyone with allergies. No sense having a dedicated space if you are using ingredients that quite possibly contain gluten (speaking as a health professional who has done the research on wheat starch ppm of gluten). Only other item available for me on the menu was a $10 "salad" of just greens...which came salted?!...and the salty cured meat appetizers. Huge huge let down. Please avoid if you are wheat or gluten free.
Went here for lunch while on a friend’s bachelorette trip. Really delicious food. Great gluten free options as well as vegetarian/vegan options (celiac friendly). Great service, everyone was really friendly. Cool vibes. Definitely recommend!
A true gem! Gluten free and dairy free options! Wonderful place for celiac to enjoy great food and drink pairings. Portions are small similar to tapas. The ambiance was just right!
BKK is absolutely wonderful. The drinks are incredible, and Jenny (one of the co-owners) is always coming up with new delicious drinks to try. The food is also incredible, and as someone with Celiac, the food options are excellent and Bobby (the other co-owner) knows exactly which dishes are safe for me to eat. Would recommend to anyone who would listen.
Really fantastic experience the entire way through. If you’re planning to come, BE PREPARED TO WAIT! But it is WORTH THE WAIT. I’d recommend coming a little before you’re ready to eat, you can go get a drink in the brewery behind and also shop at the craft beer store across the street. Cocktails are great and big beer and wine selection. Definitely finish the meal with housemate limoncello. We got A LOT of food and all of it was delicious. Top 5 of what we got:
1. Chicken Wings - I think we ate these too quick to get a photo. They were dry rubbed and so so tender and flavorful. Very crispy.
2. Roasted carrots - they tasted like they were smoked and had a subtle but delicious maple glaze.
3. Pickle Plate - beets 11/10
4. Baked Beans - warms your entire insides.
5. Duck fat fries - perfectly crisp
HONORABLE MENTION - the ranch is one of the best I’ve ever had and the garlic aioli that came with the fries.
The staff was super friendly and quick. They were knowledgeable about allergies and tons of gluten free options available.
Absolutely beautiful atmosphere, rustic with roaring fire, overlooking the mountain. We felt guilty walking in on our ski gear, wet and stinky, but they were very welcoming and we had an absolutely lovely apres-ski dinner. Very accommodating for gluten -free and other dietary restrictions as well.
Must come if you are gluten free! Great GF options and cross contamination procedures. They even have a dedicated fryer! We had a large party and our server was great, everyone enjoyed their food and cocktails.
Pretty nice menu with interesting things. Server was lovely and was really helpful about gluten allergy. Food was good. Pretty busy with a lot of tables of kids when we visited, so definitely loud but overall enjoyable.
I'll start by saying the food was amazing! Small portions. The hand rolls were itty bitty. No labels for allergens, not very accommodating for gluten-friendly/ dairy-free. The (unposted price) $25 martinis were much smaller than any typical martini I've ever ordered, which I do often. The glassware was odd and different, as if to throw us off that we weren't seemingly getting 3/4 of a full drink. Also, it was a birthday event...I asked if they do anything fun for a birthday, while he was in the bathroom, and the bartender nodded and then brought out a plate with happy birthday written in chocolate, a small scoop of ice cream and a small piece of chocolate cake or similar. Great, right...!...Except the nearly $20 that we were CHARGED FOR! Ridiculous overpriced. Note for the restaurant: when someone asks if you do something for a bday, at least tell them it's an option to PAY FOR. Didn't even receive an itemized receipt. Very deceiving. Will not be returning to this spot.
I ordered a gluten free pizza and the arugula salad. the gluten free pizzas here are absolutely phenomenal, and the pizza itself is delicious. I will be coming here again and again
the salad was delicious, but far too bitter for my casual taste buds. if you like bitter salads, arugula, and cabbage, you'll adore it, but if you're a normie salad eater looking for a gluten free alternative to caesar salad, just get the caesar salad without croutons
Very sweet staff. The sun chokes were pretty good, the steak was pretty good also but honestly tasted kind of like pepperoni and overpowered what I enjoy in a steak. Distinctly lacking in interesting gluten free or non-alcoholic options. Very good ambiance.
Ideal for celiacs and excellent treatment!
We spent several days having breakfast and one day I had dinner there. It is very welcoming, they are very friendly and professional. The waitress Andrea was really great and recommended me and treated me great. All the waiters were especially careful with me because I have celiac disease. They offered me Gluten Free bread and potatoes free of cross contamination for breakfast. The same for dinner. All the food is very good.
The views on the terrace are beautiful. Everything was more than great and the best thing was the tranquility of having breakfast, lunch or dinner as a celiac.
We hosted a party for lunch and the food was amazing. The staff was on top of everything and very kind. The kitchen was easily able to accommodate my gluten free and vegan guests. I cannot wait to come here and try their regular menu.
My husband and I have been striving to find the right fried chicken that is gluten-free. A friend of ours told us how incredible the family style gluten-free fried chicken was from Cork and we just tried it for our first time.
We have tried multiple restaurants in town that offer their version of fried chicken, but this Tops them all!
We both were craving it again and had been so thrilled with the crunch and flavor!
The four star review is because they have removed this from the menu, so disappointing
Phenomenal food in a great setting. We could not ask for a better dining experience, from the food, drinks and service. They went out of their way for adjusting dishes to be gluten free.
We cannot say enough good things about the Zen Barn! We got married here in July 2023 and had an amazing, fun, and smooth wedding weekend. We rented out the Air BnB on the top two floors of the barn for the weekend and it worked out perfectly for our bridal party to stay in and for getting ready before the ceremony. Communicating with their events manager Katie and the owner Ari leading up to the wedding was easy and they were super accommodating. We had questionable weather for the ceremony/cocktail hour portion of our wedding and all of the staff at Zen Barn were so flexible and supportive with us deciding whether we needed to do our ceremony inside or out. We ended up using their beautiful indoor ceremony space due to rain and it was amazing! Our guests loved the BBQ buffet (great gluten free and veg options too!!) and enjoyed the cocktails and amazing local beer options. Everyone had so much fun with the Zen Barn staff - they are the perfect balance of fun/laidback and professional - making you feel at ease throughout the day. Our go-to guy for our wedding day, Travis, went above and beyond to help our day run smoothly and was so fun to work with. The Zen Barn lets you truly customize how you want your wedding to be and we are so happy we had our wedding here. We cannot wait to come back for music and anniversary celebrations. Thank you to everyone at the Zen Barn for all of your hard work!!!!

The Atmosphere is #1 ! Variety of creative seating makes it fun to decide where to sit down and settle in. The first thing they said to us was, stay as long as you like. We felt so welcomed and relaxed. I had a vegan gluten free hummus and crackers, so flavorful, and part of my wife's vegan GF muffin. The tea was great. They had little honey sticks at the coffee fixins bar. So much fun. I love creating my album cover in their cool environment. There was a soft, quiet jazz guitarist doodling. Highly recommend 👍
