Such an awesome place for breakfast or lunch! Great food, cute place, and friendly service. They have vegan and gluten free options and are able to answer questions about ingredients. I had the Running Man with gluten free wrap and an iced chai with almond milk - both were super yummy!

Enjoyed this place for a long time until they took off gluten free options. Sad that I can no longer enjoy pizza there and that they would decide to stop having options to support dietary needs.

The pork sandwich made like a Philly cheese steak was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I even got it on gluten-free bread and it was amazing. My friend and I used to go to Bull and beggar for the Monday burger special. Glad to have the baby bull back in action

First time ever dining here and it was spacious and has a minimalistic warehouse decor that is very cool. Decor was also unique for the fact that you can write all over the walls! The little kid in me thought that was fun. Friends recommended pulled pork plate so my buddy had that. I did pulled chicken plate which was very tasty. Noticed the many people had similar plate dish and 2 chosen sides - sweet potato mash and collard greens (which has meat in it.) All dishes are gluten free at that's a bonus! Loved the jalapeno sauce best! Easy order and pay. Pick your own seats. Easy get-your-own silverware, drinks, sauces, and to-go containers in middle area of seating. Definitely would go back again.

I’ve been gluten free for 25 years and I’ve always enjoyed their chicken pad Thai. So amazing!

First stop in town on a bachelorette party and had the best experience! The Asheville and Fig and Prosciutto pizza were delicious! We also had chicken wings, meatballs, bean dip, and burrata appetizers. Liv, our server, made great recommendations and answered all of our questions about gluten free options and what to do in town! Would definitely recommend (around sunset for best views!)

We were excited for a rooftop bar, but it was just average in excitement. The cocktail was good, but the place was missing something. No music, heaters weren't on to go outside, but it was cold and foggy. Not much for gluten-free needs.

Best dining experience of our whole week long trip! Arrived early, and were greeted by owner. She made several trips to our table to make sure we were happy. When we told her on the phone that we eat gluten free she had taken the time to mark the menu indicating what we could and could not have. We had the steak, and it was the best steak we have ever had. I have ordered steak in many restaurants, but none have been as perfect as this one. From the outside you would not expect to receive such a delicious gourmet meal! Just sorry we live so far away, or this would be our go to restaurant.
