This is 100% Gluten-free and I loved it. So many options from the food to the drinks. For once I did not have to stress on what to get nor worry about cross contamination. I will be back!!
We are so glad we found Big Mike’s! We’re not even a gluten-free family, but the location was convenient—what a happy surprise! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. But the real standout? The exceptional service. Truly some of the best we’ve ever had. Friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back and try more!
This is hands down the best pizza in Destin. We ordered delivery to our condo on the beach, it arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule and the driver was super nice and helpful. The pizza itself is amazing, we tried 5 different ones, Tuscan Chicken, Ranch Chicken, Combo, Pepperoni, and Ham. All were magnificent. They even have a very good gluten free crust if you need that. Top tier stuff.
It’s great that options for gluten free are being made but as someone who is Celiac and has had their fair share of Gluten Free items, you can find better tasting desserts in middle of no where places like Scranton, PA. I want to be as constructive as possible in this review because it really is great that there are dedicated GF bakeries for those that are intolerant or Celiac, but that’s the only reason why it’s two stars and not one.
PRICING
I ordered a red velvet and vanilla cupcake and before I could even enjoy my cupcake I was very alarmed when I saw each cupcake rang up as 4 dollars. Again, these are normal sized cupcakes and if anything they are a bit on the smaller size. I understand that this is a niche small business trying to stay afloat but you have to consider that eating gluten free does not mean I have money to waste. Because I have Celiacs, I have no other option but to eat GF but today I decided it would be nice to splurge a little on a cupcake. However, if you are the average person in Miami, you will not be able to justify the cost of a singular cupcake. I’m also going to add on to here that the machine asked automatically for 18%,20%, or 25% tip… for takeout.
TASTE
Vanilla tasted strongly artificial and not pleasant. Red velvet was bitter and mild in every other flavor and was not well balanced with the cream cheese. Texture was gritty on both, more so on the vanilla. Aftertaste is not pleasant and is a somewhat tarty/sour, acidic, and bitter taste.
CONCLUSION
Saying you’re gluten free is not an excuse to make a bad menu item. The recipes are not refined and feel like a first attempt at making a gluten free dessert. Especially at the price range, I do not recommend the average person come here as the food will be subpar for what you pay for. Overall, I am disappointed after having read so many excellent reviews. I will continue to search for better GF options in Miami but I will not come here again. Thanks for spending the time to read this.
Seriously this was the best gluten free stuff I have ever had. I’ve recently been diagnosed with celiac and have struggled to find a bread I enjoy. I came here for challah but left with sour dough bread, cookies, a bagel, cake and banana bread. The owner was so sweet and everyone who worked there was so nice. They have samples of everything. I went with my dad who is not gluten free and he loved it all!

This place did not disappoint. Had the Margherita pizza and Buffalo e prosciutto. Amazing. For dairy free peeps, I can tolerate buffalo mozzarella. I found this out in Italy.
They have dedicated fryers and are well versed in Celiac protocol. I had the fried shrimps and it was amazing. Highly recommend it!!! Staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I just loved it!!!!
Service is excellent.
For a place that's supposedly healthy, the number of vegan options and options that can be veganized or made gluten free (clearly marked on the menu) are minimal.
Of the vegan options, there are hardly any that are flavorful or special, at least in our family's opinion. The hummus and split pea soup were reasonably good. The fries and buffalo cauliflower were too oily. Ramen was ok.
Atmosphere could be better in terms of the noise level. Not great for conversation while it's busy.
Overall, as a vegan/vegetarian family, we won't be going back.
As someone highly allergic to dairy it was exciting to hear that this vegan gluten free bakery opened in the area. Unfortunately it was a bit of a let down. For bakery items my family got cupcakes and donuts. The cupcakes were decent, not dense like a usual gluten free cupcake but there was no flavor to the cake. The vanilla one just tasted plain. The strawberry cheesecake donut had a great icing to it but the donut itself was dense and not like a donut at all. The frozen Katz donuts from the grocery store are better. Each pastry was $6 which seems overpriced for a barely mediocre dessert and they are not huge either. We took home the blueberry waffles($12 for a whole waffle which was cut up into 1/4 sections) , they are ok. The flavor tasted like a normal blueberry waffle and the texture was ok. Very average waffle. The mac and cheese ($16 for 2 servings) I got was very off putting. The cheese flavor was good, comparable to follow your heart brand but the noodles were awful, I made sure not to overheat it but somehow they came out very chewy. I want to give this place another go but am hesitant to due to the price point and a poor first impression.
I am celiac, dairy-free, and soy free. This was the first restaurant I felt comfortable eating in since the waiter and kitchen staff took all my dietary restrictions seriously and recommended certain foods that would abide to all of them. It is not easy to find an accommodating restaurant. I highly recommend this place for those who are very sensitive to strict dietary restrictions!! The food was prepared by a chef and the taste was phenomenal!!!
Met Stephanie her self she is absolutely an amazing person. When I tell you how excited I was to be able to have crepes after not able to have one in Epcot I screamed and boy was I excited to savor a savory crepe. My family and I are all celiac and so we got the salmon avocado crepe (amazing 10/10) and the strawberry banana Nutella once again amazing 10/10) highly recommend if in Miami area so amazing and have a whole gluten free menu 💖
I have had a lot of Key Lime pies over the years and this is one of the best and… it’s gluten free.
My wife and I also love the Vegan cakes. This is a go to spot!!
Food was very good but the music and service was more of an issue. It is already very busy and very loud, and adding a live band was not a good idea. We had to shout to hear each other, the toddler I was with wouldn’t eat her food until the breaks in between songs due to her covering her ears cause the music was so loud. Server dropped one of our meals and it took another 15 minutes before it came back out. We had a gluten free meal that came out around 15 minutes after everyone else’s food. Wrong sides with some meals as well. But being next to the water and slightly outside has a nice vibe and atmosphere.
Chicken tenders to die for fried pickles are from my dreams and they will fry anything on their menu gluten free. Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was out of this world and I actually have teared up many times from the taste of their amazing gluten free food.

Delicious ice cream and snacks with the peace of mind of being gluten-free. They have a variety of different flavors. Plus, the service is great. Recommended!
It's a really amazing experience. So many options for all people in my party. Not one person had a bad thing to say. Took a container of the jam to go because it was so good.
This place was an absolute delight! The food was so fresh and so many options for gluten free foodies!! Wonderful staff! And a wonderful place! Will definitely go back when I am in the area.

Had a post Tampa Theater Star Wars pizza and their gluten free crust option were out of this world!!
The best part about the experience was our server Emily! From the moment we walked in, she immediately greeted us with the biggest smile, told us to sit anywhere and she took such great care of us throughout the entire afternoon!
We need more servers like her in downtown Tampa! Way to GO, Emily!! Keep up that high vibe and making everyone feel welcome! Give that young woman a raise!!
Foo Dog has been my favorite for years for gluten free food deliciousness. As someone with celiac, this place is a dream come true. Everything is so flavorful and unique from anything else around Jax. I try a new dish or app every time and I’m never disappointed. I love introducing this place to others. My only complaint is that wish I could buy their sauces and vegan popcorn by the gallon!
This. Was. Everything. The absolute best Fish & Chips i've ever had (gluten free) AND they have gluten free onion rings too! I was in GF fried heaven. It wasn't greasy, didn't get sick, and didn't even feel like we ate a heavy fried meal afterwards. The staff was great and the place was packed! This is the spot for sure - worth every penny. I felt very safe here - the girl at the register knew GF well.
Amazing!!! Many gluten free options that tasted like normal desserts and priced fair. Their gf key lime pie is the best I’ve ever had (even better than non gf)! My husband had the normal key lime pie and also said it was the best he’s ever had. We each had a cheesecake slice as well. Additionally, the shop was absolutely adorable. If you’re visiting the keys, you must stop here for ice cream, a baked treat or a cute gift or keepsake!

Second time ordering delivery from this place and I couldn't be more unenthusiastic.
Prices without tax, tip or delivery fees:
10 inch gluten-free pizza = $20; They added wrong toppings and the gouda, bacon and pesto aioli were overpowered by the house sauce. Very ketchupy. Garlic tastes out of a can.
10 wings = $16.50; Speaking of things in containers, the blue cheese I was charged extra for (No, they don't give blue cheese or ranch with the wings for free) tastes about as good as the Hidden Valley bottle it came out of.
Would have left this place a 3 out of 5, but you can't have the word "Gourmet" in your name and have ingredients this average/bad. It's like saying you're a French winery and all your wine is from boxes sold at Costco.
We enjoyed dine in with 2 bowls with 6 items and a kids bowls with 3, one base, one veggie, and one protein. Some of our faves are the bases of sweet potato noodles, kale salad, and cauliflower potato mash. Our fav veggies are the grilled broccoli, golden chickpeas with a savory sauce and the awesome sweet potato chunks. My fav protein is the almond baked chicken which is the worlds best version of chicken strips. A few options like salmon are an up charge. Add on include Parmesan cheese, pico de gallo and guacamole. 4 sauces include a great spicy one and a balsamic.
Drinks include fountainhead sodas mostly made with sugar and one zero calorie. Three kinds of teas are natural from unsweet to lightly sweetened with honey.
Accessible van parking that is free and tight parking.

Amazing food and gluten free options. Highly recommended if you are visiting St. Augustine. Staff was extremely friendly and made it a pleasure to visit. Definitely save room for the ice cream.
I have never had a gluten free pizza that’s so good! 10/10 would recommend. They were able to make the crust still fluffy and crispy, something I’ve never had from gluten free dough. Will be driving 2 hours for this again very soon!
Gluten free options. Bakery and food. Had the vegan gf Buddha bowl salad. Everything was delicious. Will be back. Took home some baked gluten free bread.
