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!

Flour House is my all time favorite pizza on the Central Coast. Maybe even in the US. Every time they deliver top notch quality food. I'm in love with the Arugula bresaola salad. I'm celiac and I can eat there gluten free pizza. The crust is incredible. Even my friends love it that can eat the regular pizzas. My husband who is Italian, loves the regular pizzas and he also says it's his favorite pizza in California. If your with a big group meter Mondays hits the spot I hear! They have cocktails and a great wine selection. Cool ambiance and a lovely patio in back that is cozy and cute!

I love this place! The vegetarian food is delicious and fresh. It is a great place for people who don't eat gluten, Ethiopian food is naturally gluten-free. I always feel fantastic after eating here - I feel light, nourished and satisfied, it is just right! The portion size is perfect. I have favorites, such as the Goman, lentil dishes and gluten-free teff brownies (!) - but every item I have tried I totally loved. Even if you don't think you like vegetarian food, give this place a try, it is delish! The ambiance is fun and friendly and the music sets a pleasant and lively vibe. Highly recommend!

Linnea's is my favorite cafe! So many tea options, and the workers are welcoming and nice! The back garden is very relaxing and a great place to study or catch some live music. Many vegan and gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. Tea and coffee loyalty cards can help you save some money if you become a repeat customer (like me)!

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.

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.
