They have an entire gluten menu! Super good gluten free pizza. The crust is homemade in house and the sauce is super super good. They also have gluten free hoagies, croutons, apps, and gf cheesecake. The patio and inside are both super cute and the service was great. Would recommend for anyone, but especially gluten free diners.

Pretty overpriced mid food. My $9 side salad was basically lettuce and a packet of dressing like a fast food place.. pizza was fine. I appreciate they have gluten free pizza, though it wasn't anything special for $30. Nice patio though and the staff were friendly.

I'm gluten free (celiac) and had the turkey sandwich with NO issues. It was so good we went back the next morning and I did a create your own bagel but with gluten free bread with ham, egg, cheese and aioli and it was AMAZING. Coffee also was fantastic. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here daily. Husband and daughter had the muffulleta and said it was great, followed by the grown up grilled cheese. They were both more than happy.

Properly calibrated, nicely balanced espresso. Good cold brew, too. Coffee focused; food choices are limited. Available today were bananas, cranberry pecan muffins, choc chip cookies, single serving instant oatmeal (MYLK Labs), and pre-packaged bars. Items are gluten free. There's a selection of roasted coffee beans and a few other curated gift items. Atmosphere is bright, clean, a roomy with a variety of seating options.

I love this place. It’s fun with kids, the food and service were amazing. And the shakes are heavenly. Only downside is that there are no gluten free options outside a fruit bowl for my daughter with Celiac. But we are very used to her bringing her own food, and they didn’t bat an eye at it.

We were so disappointed. Husband ordered an 18” pizza with sausage and pepperoni. It had exactly 18 1/2” pieces of sausage and 18 pepperoni. It was so bare. Also ordered 2 10” gluten free pizzas. The order was $80 😳. We won’t go back.

The first problem was that the food we received didn't meet our expectations based on the menu description. My friend and i both ordered chicken enchiladas in tomatillo sauce with sour cream. The whole plate was smothered in sour cream, no sign or taste of the tomatillo. It was very bland. My friend told the waiter she couldn't handle so much sour cream and asked if she could get a different sauce put on it. He plopped a bottle of tabasco down on the table. So she pulled the chicken out of the enchilada. It came out as a whole piece and was breaded! The menu said nothing about that or i would never have ordered it! I thought it was weird that a whole piece of chicken was inside the tortilla but hadn't noticed the breading. I can't eat breading! I asked the waiter. He didn't know and made no move to find out. I asked again if he could go in the kitchen and find out. He went reluctantly and came back to say "yeah, it is only slightly breaded". I repeated that i cant have breading, even a small amount. But by now 2/3 of my plate was gone...he simply said "sorry about that." We told the manager as well that the waiter wasnt helpful and that the menu needs to be clearer. People with celiacs need to know. She apologized but offered nothing, not even to comp the queso.

Best Cafe was recommended by a friend, and I'm so glad. We ordered way too much food because it all sounded so good, but the Duck Egg Omelet was my favorite. I'm not one to order duck, as it hasn't thrilled me in the past, but that was the best omelet I've ever had! It was the perfect size, filled with cheese and shredded duck, and the depth of flavor was very unexpected. The yogurt bowl with honeycomb, bee pollen, granola, and fruit was also very good, but the presentation really put it over the top. The tiny flowers were so pretty. The gouda grits were fabulous. I love that they had sourdough as an option for bread, for those of us who don't tolerate gluten well, but I would have loved even more if they could have made French Toast on that. We really wanted to go back while we were in town, but ran out of time.

This restaurant has great views. You can look at the lake while eating. I had their cauliflower crust pizza and it was so good. I have Celiac Disease and this is one of the best gluten free pizzas I have eaten. My server was aware of my dietary restrictions and was very knowledgeable.

Bleu Monkey Grill is our new favorite restaurant! We learned about it a month ago and have been 3 times since then. They have great food and a wide variety of options. The staff is very friendly and willing to answer questions. I have celiac disease and love the fact that they have a lot of gluten free options. I have been recommending them to everyone!

Great atmosphere and fun setting. Service was great however the staff was not educated on allergens. I found this very dangerous and concerning. I was afraid to order food. If you are concerned about Celiac Disease or gluten allergy this is not the restaurant for you.

We had dinner here for the first time and our server, Austin was fantastic! I have Celiacs and only asked the question of if their fries were GF and he was so helpful, knowledgeable and gave me food recommendations also. He didn't make it seem like a problem like some other restaurants do. I really appreciated that! I had the grouper with veggies, salad and fries(of course).Lol It was so good! My husband and son both got the Wakesetter and said that it was really good too. When we're in the area again, we will definitely be back!

Yummy! My son took me someplace else first on the eve of Independence Day, but they were closed. This place was serving until 9 pm. So thankful because all our food was so good. Seated quickly, meat served fresh off a well-seasoned grill, with plenty of varying sauces to drizzle or dip. The salsa was a little spicy, but not burning, no watery eyes here! I loved that they risked the kick! The reason for the 4 star on service is I asked for corn tortillas and they looked like flour, and when i wanted to clarify with the server i just could not get her attention because she was moving too fast. (They were about to close after all). I am a Gluten Free diner, so i never order flour tortillas. Eat here, bring your family and friends!

Superb, friendly, low-key and prompt service. Very good food, convenient location. I shared a meal with my daughter and I am glad I did; portions are generous! There were 5 adults and one 2-year old in our party; we were seated at a larger table with no fuss at all. Also, one of us needed a gluten-free meal and this request was no problem. I highly recommend this restaurant, although none of us ordered pizza so I cannot judge that.

Delicious! Family of six visited on a busy Friday night. We were quickly seated and attended to. Our waitress, Ashley D, was excellent. For as busy as they were, we did not have a long wait for our food. All of our dishes were perfect! My daughter has a gluten allergy (we try not to be fussy about it) and the waitress went above and beyond to take care of her, replaced her battered fries with new potatoes and veggies. She had the blackened grouper and no reaction! My crab cakes were even better than what I’ve had down at the coast. My husband had the large fried platter and he was very happy. We also had scampi shrimp which my picky child devoured. We’ll be visiting here every time we are in Hot Springs.

Service excellent. Food excellent. Do not make the one mistake of assuming this is one of those mediocre restaurants hooked onto a hotel. Filet mignon, snapper entre, and on and on. Twice here in one week because it was so good. 4 in my group are celiac and even they were able to totally enjoy their gluten free choices and creme brulee' for desert.

I'm from out of town and decided to give this place a try. I'm a celiac and couldn't find any allergen menus online so I decided to go in and see if they had any gluten free options. I decided to build a bowl and the staff were very helpful in informing me what sauces were safe (at the time I went, they were only sure about the spicy mayo and Hawaiian sauces being gluten free). I didn't have any reactions to the food, and I am a pretty sensitive celiac. Overall great experience and I'd go again.
