Food was good. They even had a single choice for a gluten-free lactose-free person, who very much appreciated it.

It is an amazing place with words that can't describe it. You'll need to try when in the area. The owner came out and had a few good laughs with our family and really enjoyed the experience. My wife and I are on a gluten free diet at the moment and had a great menu to ease our minds on what we can order. Everyone was very helpful and caring. Must stop! God bless.

Found this lil gem on my gluten free app. I enjoyed my meal and the music. The staff was knowledgeable about gluten free and best part was I had a vegan meal with lots of flavor and immunity shot. I love Morro Bay and can’t wait to try the buckwheat pancakes.

This is a delicious lil gem you must try! I am completely gluten free & 1 thing I really miss is the ease of ordering Asian foods out, but there is gluten in regular soy sauce. I've dreamed of a place to get good stir fry or ramen & even marinated poke...gf friends this is the place! You can even have the ramen here w/a simple sub of forbidden rice ramen noodles in place of the regular noodle & everything else is made w/tamari & regular gluten lovers you won't even notice the difference. I'm taking a vegan friend here today & I've been dreaming of it since I last went. Please support, everything is incredible!

More than coffee, food, conversation this must stop place in Morro Bay will be a highlight of your day! I did not know what I wanted but described to Rudie my ideal drink and he created something amazing! I literally wanted to cut the cup apart when I finished it just to get every drop. It was like a party in a cup! If you want something to add a smile to your day stop by and ask for a "Jill" but beware once you try it you will want one every day. The food is all so yum, but the gluten free coffee cake, oh my goodness! You will want to savor every bite of this delicious treat. If you are new in town or just passing through Rudie can guide you to the best spots to check out and how to get there. Seriously if you are in Morro Bay and don't stop by you will be missing out.

We made reservations to be there for sunset, but we were only the second group in the whole restaurant, so it was probably not necessary. Of the dozens of open tables, we were seated right next to the only other group. We were so close that I couldn't even pull my chair out enough to get in and had to sit away from the window. Service was friendly, but not responsive to my need for a clean water glass when I found a black something floating in my water. I also asked about some dietary needs when I called ahead and felt okay ordering a salad without anything on it. Others in my group enjoyed pasta, chowder, caesar salad, burger, and they all said food was good. My Cobb salad, ordered specifically for a vegan with at wheat allergy, without chicken, bacon, bleu cheese or shredded cheese, hardboiled egg, and a request with vinaigrette on the side and no croutons or bread, came to the table on the same try as gluten foods. I looked all over the plate, and the salad looked okay, no crumbs or evidence of other foods on my plate or salad. But, I was more than half way through eating it when I found a chunk of breaded and deep fried something. I spit out the bite in my mouth, kept spitting and wished I had clean water to rinse my mouth with. The rest of the salad was taken away without any concern over why I quit eating, why I had to spit out my dinner or inquiry about how I enjoyed dinner. So, even if the hostess says they can make food allergy safe, they can't. I thought it was worth a try, but I'm expecting to be sick the next few days from being glutened. I tried to email the restaurant, but there isn't an email on their website, so I'm stuck leaving this review.

Clam chowder in a bread bowl for the wife, and I even ordered something new, grilled chicken with bacon on sourdough bread. I took the Gluten chance on this one, because she really wanted the clam chowder. Watched a California Sea Otter floating and eating while we ate. Lunch and a show, what more can you say about that. Enjoyed ever bite. Staff was very helpful, nice, and patient with me while we had to figure out what changes I needed to make for Lactose and Gluten intolerance issues. Highly reccomend the Lil' Hut for your dining pleasures...😋
