Gluten-Free Restaurants in Pagosa Springs, CO

“My friend was hungry for a burger, so he suggested we eat here.This is how it works. You walk up to the counter. The worker does not greet you. She is young and looks tired and over all this. The menu is on the wall, and you try to decide what you want while the worker stares at you with dead eyes. You and your friend order and the worker barks that she needs a name for the order. You tell her your name.You pay, then go to sit in the dining room. You wait for quite some time. Occassionally one of the workers walks into the dining room holding a stapled shut paper bag and bellows a name. You get hungrier and hungrier. You wait for quite some time. Finally the so-tired worker bellows your name...I ordered the Vegan. I didn't realize it comes with vegan mayonnaise on it. I hate all mayonnaise, either vegan or conventional. It wasn't the restaurant's fault that I didn't specify what I didn't want on the burger, so I don't hold the mayonnaise against them. However, both sides of the bun was slathered in the stuff. There was so much of the vegan mayonnaise. I did manage to wipe off most of it with a napkin, but I lost all of my (shredded) lettuce because every piece of it was coated in the condiment. I got rid of the raw onions while I was at it, because there were too many of them.The vegan patty was very good. It was very thick and did not fall apart the minute I sunk my teeth into it. It was more like a meaty burger than most veggie burgers I've had at restaurants. The flavor was very good too.The French fries were absolutely 100% fantastic. They were hot and crisp and not overly greasy. They were some of the best fries I've ever had. I recommend them 100%.Overall I did enjoy eating at Sage, and would do so again now that I know how to customize my order.My friend got the party melt (one patty) and gobbled it down. He really seemed to enjoy his meal.Vegetarian options: There is a vegan burger on the menu. It comes slathered in vegan mayonnaise. Mine had cheese on it. I'm not sure if it was vegan cheese or a mistake. If it was vegan cheese, it was really good vegan cheese. I didn't ask for clarification because I was just trying to be vegetarian, not vegan.Dietary restrictions: Depends on what your restrictions are. There's a lot of beef on the menu. And I did NOT see an option for gluten free buns.Parking: The parking lot is not big, and there were lots of cars (and several big trucks) parked there at lunchtime on a Thursday. I did manage to find a slot to slide into.Kid-friendliness: It's a casual place. There were a couple of kids there. One (a toddler) was screaming (but happy screams). It was all good.“

“We just stopped here yesterday for a quick snack for our 4 year old son and a coffee for my husband and I and it was so nice! The employees were very friendly and patient with us and the atmosphere was very cozy. We ordered a brownie for my son that we all ended up sharing and oh man!! That was the best brownie I’ve ever had!! I would definitely go back for another.“

“We came here for breakfast because we met the owners at the Spring, they were wonderful people so we wanted to give them a try. Very good coffee, pastries, and breakfast meals. My French toast was a special and I'm glad I ordered this! The toast had a perfect amount of cinnamon and it was really flavorful. The server was very nice as well. It's a very cute interior with hippie themed decor and drawings.“

“Rosie's is one of the local's favorite spots & tourists too! AMAZING food, WONDERFUL staff, & overall GREAT place. We have seen the whole staff busting their butts during all these busy seasons that seem to run together now doing their best even towards absolutely rude people. Let's all give all of the food industry & grocery store workers some grace! Seems the world is short staffed and we have all forgotten how to be kind & have some patience. Long wait times take time to enjoy the company you are with, alone enjoy some peace and quiet, catch up on emails or texts, call someone you have been meaning to catch up with. Just have some kindness and PATIENCE. Rosie's is GREAT all the way around & we highly recommend it! Yummy appetizers, pizzas, salads, sandwiches, and so much more. They have something for everyone and your group will not be disappointed.“

“This is my favorite place to go eat after a long day of skiing. I only get out of my house about one day a week as I work from home and I so look forward to their food and a friendly exchange. The food is always amazing and the staff and owning family are friendly and always make my day!! The leftovers keep me happy and healthy!! Now if I could just make it there on a Thursday before they are out of Pho. :-)“
