I am thankful I found this wonderful niche restaurant. A family friend was visiting and needed gluten free option. This amazing place caters to diverse diet needs and the food selections are high quality, individually prepared and have something for every palate. The owner is proud of his work and rightly so. Thank you for a great experience.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options abound on this menu.

This place has gluten-free pancakes! The staff was friendly. However, we did wait a while for coffee and food. Took at least 45 mins for coffee, they didn't have coffee ready. And our food took over an hour to come out. Some of the food was cold, like my eggs. They were not that busy, but only had one server. The pancakes WERE good, though. It was just off how long it took for food and coffee. So heads up, if you are in a rush.

We have had breakfast at Bayside Bistro twice, and I can't express how delicious everything has been. They offer a very wide variety of options, and I've tried a bunch of them (including my own and sneaking bites from other family members). All of it is a noticeable step above other breakfast places--even places I like. Not sure how they do it--it's hard to make breakfast food stand out. But what we've had at Bayside Bistro has been exceptional. Yum!

Calling all my dietary restriction family!!! This is an amazing restaurant for you!! They have gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian optionS (capital S because theres many options for each restriction). But don't fret, there's also plenty of full dairy, full gluten, and real meat options for your non-diet restricted friends and family.

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, our waiter (i didn't catch his name) was so welcoming. He made us feel like we were his friends right off the bat.

How did the food taste?? Easiest way to put it was my family and I were all fighting over eachothers dishes because each dish was SO good. We got pumpkin pancakes, a lime rice scramble, sausage and egg sandwich, and a meat and gravy burrito. Everything was so flavorful. My mouth is watering writing this review and remembering the taste 😋

Thank you Bayside Bistro! ❤️

I’ve never been to the restraunt I only had the food truck during the pickleball tournament last weekend and man was it terrible. The lady was incredibly rude to everyone and seemed unprepared especially since she said she didn’t even have the burners turned on but had been set up for over an hour? I waited almost 15 mins before she even acknowledged me waiting to get my order. I ordered the pulled pork sandwhich and fries for $15 so I was expecting a good portion size. The sandwich was normal sized but the meat didn’t even look seasoned. I got a total of 5 thick cut fries. That’s crazy for the price oh and no seasoning just tasted like a cut potato. I also ordered a pretzel with cheese for $8 and it was stale and no salt even on it! So expensive for nothing! I threw all the food away after taking one bite because it was so bad. Also she didn’t even know what the price was and had to ask me but again was not nice at all. I got my food after waiting another 20mins. The poor guy behind me just wanted a smoothie but I guess she was only taking one order at a time then making it which is why it took so long. She was just as rude to him and the guy in front of me. Everyone at the tournament was talking about how rude she was and expensive the food was but not even good.

Bayside is truly a gem. The food alone is impressively thoughtful and skillfully made. The menu accommodates a lot of different tastes and it all looks appealing. It's not just pretty pictures either, the food is GREAT. If I lived closer, I would have to restrain myself from eating here all the time. Our waiter was super nice and prompt and helpful. This spot is especially choice if endless elevator / saxophone music is your jam. Believe the hype! Seriously some of the best pancakes you'll ever have!
