Burger Village in San Luis Obispo is a standout for anyone who loves variety—whether you’re into classic meats, exotic proteins, or plant-based patties. Here’s my take: ⸻ 🍔 Proteins for Every Palate • Organic Classic Beef: A reliably juicy, grass-fed patty. Goes great with cheddar, roasted peppers, and their signature sauce.  • Exotic Meats: Think elk, bison, lamb, turkey—and yes—boar, salmon, and even ostrich. A reviewer said their ostrich tasted “like a gamier turkey burger” and enjoyed the creative toppings pairing . Several folks name the elk burger “amazing.”  • Chicken, Salmon & More: You can also go with a chicken sandwich or salmon, each customizable with loads of toppings. () • Vegan/Plant-Based Options: Includes black bean, cauliflower, gluten-free veggie, and Impossible patties—with vegan buns, cheese, and spicy veganaise. Vegans love the flexibility: “Have multiple options on what type of vegan burger you want and you can put any toppings on it.”  ⸻ 🎨 Toppings & Build Your Own The topping game is on point: sautéed onions, mushrooms, pico de gallo, guac, fire-roasted peppers, jalapeños, fried eggs, applewood bacon, vegan mozzarella—the list goes on. There’s also wraps or lettuce/ gluten-free buns, making it easy to build a burger that fits your vibe. () ⸻ 🍻 Beer Bar & Aesthetic Step inside and you’re met with a bright, open layout: a sleek bar lined with a dozen-plus taps and a fridge of bottled beer. Draft beer lovers will delight—over 30 on tap, including local craft selections. One Yelp fan put it simply: “Huge on‑tap beer selection… can’t wait to go back.”  Wood accents, brick walls, and big windows give the space an airy, relaxed feel—perfect for a casual date night or post-work hang. ⸻ 🌿 Sides & Extras • Fries & Tots: Hand-cut fries, waffle fries, tots, and sweet potato fries—crispy and well-seasoned. • Appetizers: Vegan cauliflower tenders, loaded fries, falafel, even Impossible tenders. • Salads & Shakes: Hearty salads (like the signature tostada salad) and organic shakes round out the menu. () ⸻ 👥 Atmosphere & Service The vibe is friendly and laid-back. One SLO local noted that service was “super friendly and attentive,” and that it’s usually easy to grab a seat—even on weekends.  ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict Why it rocks: • Stellar protein variety—classic, exotic, vegan • Topping freedom meets creative combos • Great beer selection in an open, inviting space • Solid sides, shakes, and eco-conscious ethos (organic, peanut-free, gluten-free) What to note: • Exotic burgers can be pricier • Buns (especially brioche) can be a tad dry—ask for vegan or gluten-free options ⸻ ⭐ Rating 4.5 / 5 – Burger Village strikes an excellent balance between adventurous eats and comfort classics, all served in a welcoming, beer-friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re craving elk or an Impossible stack, there’s something to elevate your burger game. Next time you’re in downtown SLO, pair your custom build with a cold craft brew—your tastebuds (and Insta feed) will thank you.

Had an excellent lunch experience at Luna today. Service was great from start to finish. They have plenty of vegan/vegetarian and gluten free options. We chose the cauliflower tacos and paella. Both were exceedingly delicious. Ambience is fun with sunny colors. Highly recommend this place!

I get what all the hype is about; Giuseppe's is legit delish. We ordered Margherita pizza and Cima di Rapa pasta, both gluten free. We had the Gelato trio for dessert - we tried pistachio, butter pecan, and lemon - pistachio was our fave. We look forward to eating there again, and appreciate so many gluten free options.

My wife has a gluten allergy (Celiac)and must be very careful to prevent cross -contamination. Of course we were looking at the donuts and not at everything the young lady was doing. When she reached in to get the donuts we asked nicely if she had changed her glove. In the snottiest way possible she said, "I just put it on right in front of you! We don't use tongs on the GF donuts!" Well excuse me! The other SLODOCO location we usually frequent DOES. How are we supposed to know the protocol is different in the different locations? Her condescending tone and snotty attitude was absolutely shocking. The atmosphere was strange... Some guy sitting at the counter pigging out on food that had obviously been brought in from somewhere else... Just a weird vibe. Donuts were goid but the attitude of the young lady was atrocious. Good thing my wife was with me or I would have made a scene about her attitude.

Our host, Christopher was so knowledgeable with items on the menu and sensitive to my gluten allergies; double checking on items to make sure they were safe for me to enjoy. He came back to check on us multiple times as did other waiters to refill our water glasses. The Nada Colada mocktail was to die for. Be prepared to eat art as every dish had the appearance of a masterpiece, which I appreciate. I gave 4/5 stars on food as I do feel the flavors could be elevated on some dishes such as the cauliflower soup and coconut pie. We will be back and are delighted that our furr babies can join us out on the patio. Views of creekside made for a fine dining experience.

The boneless wings are coated and fried in a gluten free flour and taste great! The staff were very kind about confirming with the kitchen that the wings were indeed gluten free. The manager even came out with the recipe for the wings.

Visited for the first time this morning. I am celiac and vegetarian, and the staff were amazing helping me find something I could eat! My group ordered a variety of different items, and everybody was very happy and very full by the end of the meal. Portions were very generous, and staff members all went above and beyond to make our experience great! Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

What an amazing experience. The dining room is astonishing and a riot for the senses. The steaks were all superb and they accommodated gluten free options with ease. A live band, dancing, great cocktails and good wine recommendations - just perfect.

Great place for lunch, the patio was perfect for restless children, we were able to find foods for gluten-free vegans. The waitress was outstanding.
