Reviews Summary
Blue Roof Bistro is praised for its delicious and creative comfort food, with many highlighting its extensive gluten-free options.

The seasoned fries and unique flavor combinations are frequently cited as favorites.
"We had the shrimp tacos, bacon Mac & cheese, and the chicken/black bean empanadas. Everything was very tasty, and we especially enjoyed the chipotle sauce that came with the empanadas. We drove over 2600 miles to pick up a gift certificate from this place, and it was totally worth the trip….okay it wasn’t the ONLY reason we made the trip, but we did have a gift certificate waiting for us that our kids had arranged for a few months ago. The staff was very gracious in holding it until we got into town."

"This place is HIGHLY recommended. They have so many gluten free options (if you’re gluten free it’s an absolute necessity to go). They have many options of what to eat and the surroundings is so cute! You can sit in a sun room or you can sit by windows closer into the place. It’s small and cute, perfect for dates, small get togethers, family, and even going by yourself. The people are nice and it’s a little pop up :) everything tastes fresh, ESPECIALLY the avocado. You need to go!!"

Top 13 Restaurant locations in Fairbanks
We were visiting family in Fairbanks for over a week and two of our family members have celiac disease so both one adult and one child need to be strictly gluten free 100% of the time. This proved to be difficult to find in Alaska in general but this place was our go to spot that made us all happy. Thank you a million for having excellent options for us!
