Best burger I've had in a long time! I have celiac and finding places to eat is very difficult. They have a separate fryer for only French fries, which are honestly amazing.the burgers are juice and cooked great, and the gluten free buns are soft and really good. This is by far my favorite restaurant in the area, if not if all time.

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!

Awesome gluten free options including an amazing GF cheesecake!

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.

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.

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.

Delicious gluten free pizza! I’ll be back!

My wife and I stopped by for breakfast this morning on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised to have an outstanding experience. My wife suffers from a whole host of food allergies and as a result it is difficult to find a restaurant that can accommodate all of them. Chief among them being gluten (celiacs disease) and cross contamination from gluten. The staff did just that. From the top notch service provided by our waitress (thank you again, Amber B.) to the kitchen staff that prepared our food exactly the way it was ordered including all of our special requests. Our meals were made with top quality ingredients that came thru in both the taste and texture. It is also worth noting, that my wife did not suffer a reaction from any errors made in the preparation of our meals. The whole experience exceeded all of our our expectations. We will definitely be coming back again. To all those that read this, quality service deserves to be rewarded and lauded. Not just with gratuity but also thru reviews such as these.

I walked over from the Mayo and asked what their dairy-free, gluten-free options were. They didn't have any. Disappointing because it looked like a lovely spot!

Cosmic Fitness, LLC

Gluten and soy-free diner here! Just enjoyed their veggie omelet (mushrooms, onions & peppers), with a side of andouille sausage, gluten-free toast and a large black coffee. Scrumptious! And Juneau Elizabeth loved the fact that the sausage was diced. Thank you!!

Erica Nilsen

I wish I got the name of the lady working, but I had the most pleasant experience here! I’m gluten free and her and the gentleman training-in made sure there was zero cross-contamination. Changed gloves multiple times, made sure to make my sandwich in a separate space. They were both so thorough, kind and lovely!

Nicole Chai Britson

So delicious!! 10/10 would come back anytime! We started with pork dumplings and fried tofu. My group is still talking about how mind-blowingly delicious the dumplings were (being gluten intolerant I was not able to partake). The fried tofu comes with a generous serving and was also delicious. The kitchen nailed the slightly crispy exterior and soft interior that makes fried tofu most delicious. We also enjoyed the soju and other drink options. For the meal we had 2 types of Bibimbap, Bulgogi, and Japchae and we all had food left over. We’ve just left but I’m super looking forward to leftovers already. All orders come with complimentary Banchan (small shareable plates), and several entrees include Banchan also. Banchan rotates and depends on what the kitchen has available. The menu has some options for gluten friendly and vegetarian alternatives for specific dishes. I am gluten sensitive and pregnant and the server was very attentive to my dietary restrictions and needs. She made sure the Banchan that came with my meal were options that I could have and asked the kitchen to thoroughly cook the egg that came with my Bibimbap. We were impressed with the level of general noise of the restaurant. There was quiet, pleasant music playing in the background and you could easily hear each other talk without having to raise your voice. We did sit near a side entrance door which left us a bit chilly before our drinks and hot food hit our systems.

Gluten free options..thank you!!

Zen Fusion Hibachi was delicious, and the service was top notch. Corinne was delightful and kind, cheerful and knowledgeable. Chef B was entertaining and charming, the best hibachi chef I've ever experienced. Everyone was very careful about a gluten allergy in our group, and they were very accommodating for every personality and need.

Christine Millington

They have gluten-free choices. Waitress was awesome. Really pleasant food was really good.

Anita Maki

They don't have gluten free crust but the pizza is good. And the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Donna Lawson

Great breakfast! Would be nice to have gluten free bread and sugar free syrup for us on specialty diets. Billy is a wonderful server

John Severs

Excellent food! A wide selection of vegetarian and nonvegetarian tacos (even gluten-free if you choose corn tortilla shells.) They have live music several nights of the week. The restaurant is closed on Monday and Tuesday. It's definitely one of our family favorites!
