Boy, is this place good. Healthy, delicious meats and veggies and salads laid out behind the counter, you pick size of plate and tell them which items to fill it with. Takes 5 minutes to walk through the line and you’ll be happy the whole way, especially when you sit down to tuck in. Liked the local beers on tap, too. We’re here a week so far and about to go for our third visit.

We love healthy bowls, and Big Fig was fantastic. So good, that we went back again the following day. Highly recommend and will be back the next time we are in town.

DELICIOUS!!! Create your own plate small medium or large with delicious options of protein, salads and sides. Brilliant!
Love the option of gluten free pastries and good cappuccino.

It was a rainy day when we went and there is very little inside seating, so we got our order to go and ate in our hotel room. The food was excellent. You get to choose from a wide array of dishes and you get quite a good bit for your money.

This is an amazing place. There were plenty of gluten free dishes (including cakes!) and everything was clearly marked for dietary requirements. The food was really fresh and tasty. I opted to eat inside, but would have been tempted to get my food as a takeaway if it had been a warmer evening. I would definitely make this a regular place to visit if I was ever in the area again.
