Big Bend Cafe

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently introduces cross-contamination risk for celiac disease.
• Some reviews indicate there is no dedicated fryer, though there are instances of using separate pans or clean utensils for GF preparations. Other statements mention precautions like a cleaned prep area and new cooking wear.
• The menu itself is not always explicit about which items are gluten-free, and one recent feedback note that full cross-contact assurance cannot be promised.
• Overall, there are proactive steps and knowledgeable staff, but the potential for gluten exposure remains a real consideration, particularly if you rely on fried items or dishes that aren’t clearly labeled GF.
