What a friendly place. Portion in my chicken pita wrap was quite big. Huge shout-out to the man taking orders and checking everything that came out of the kitchen - that it matched the order and was what the customers wanted. That is real service. He was also very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and the differences between intolerance and Celiac. Recommend this spot

Always a pleasant experience at Smoak. They offer a variety of quality & affordable BBQ items. All of which are delicious. They even have gluten free options so my wife can enjoy barbecue again. Highly recommended.

I can’t stop talking about this place! The service was great and fast (our server provided really good suggestions!), the cocktails were so well-balanced, and the food was delicious! I almost went back the next day for the noodles and brussels. We also had the tofu satay, which was wonderfully crispy, and the pad thai, which they will make if you beg, but I’m with the server that the other food was so good and you can get that anywhere. Best news: so much was gluten-free! Would go back right now if I could.

TL;DR: Discovered Purple Goat on a gluten free FB page. Good food & knowledgeable staff. We were in town over the weekend coming from the Twin Cities, and we stopped in on the way to our hotel, about an hour & a half before close. We hadn't eaten since that morning and were excited to try the menu. We ordered drinks, the pork nachos as an app, and a pair of burgers. Our server April very patiently answered all my questions about the gluten free menu & was very helpful. I had quite a few questions because the menu has a little message about gluten free options posted on a corner of the menu, but none of the individual items are labeled "GF/GS" The nachos were great, and I even ordered extra of the avocado verde salsa. Our burgers were good, juicy & flavorful. The fries they came with were also great. Overall we had a good experience, and would love to come back when we're in town again. We would definitely order the pork nachos again and work our way through the menu. I think the only thing I would love to see is a gluten free dessert option.

A clean convenient location for lunch or dinner with a variety of food options and excellent service. Gluten sensitive and healthier options are available, and we were told they use a dedicated gluten sensitive fryer. We liked the gluten sensitive options so much we forgot to take a picture when we first got them :). Sorry!

Only give reviews if places are exceptionally good or bad, and this was the best acai bowl I’ve ever had…and I lived in Brazil! Loved the base flavors (not overly sweet, great consistency, wonderful flavors), the fruit toppings were so fresh, and all the granolas were gluten free. Please open a location in Kalispell Montana!

This place is amazing all around. From the awesome staff, to the colorful and fun atmosphere inside and on the patio. The food and drinks are great, they have options for gluten free and vegetarian. They also have an NA option for tap beer and some yummy juices if you're not in a drinking mood. If you're looking for beer, they have an awesome beer menu with multiple sizes and options, whatever your flavor, they probably have it. They also have some spirits and wine to choose from!! This place has it all!! The cafe is open early for the coffee and breakfast goers!!! 😁

I had ordered the Club Sub, but had it put into a bowl because of Celiac Disease. I did not realize that by not getting bread, there was an UP CHARGE!! The price on the menu is $9 and some change. I got charged over $11. I got nothing additional, just lettuce, turkey, ham, cheese & bacon that comes on it. First & last time I will be going there.
