Review


Traveling with Celiac Disease means that meals are generally pre-planned and pit stops are rare because my diet must be strictly gluten free, making me apprehensive of most restaurants. In this case, my mom and I are glad that we made an exception when we stopped off on our way from Chicago to Michigan. To make things brief: this restaurant had the very best gluten-free food I have ever had, and an incredible grass-fed burger as well. The fryer there is dedicated (entirely gluten free) and the fries were exceptional, perfectly crispy, which helped us understand why one of the appetizers is simply a bucket of fries. I had the Hipster, a spicy pulled pork sandwich, and the waiter recommended bangin' sauce for the fries. The receipt had a clearly marked allergy warning, which made us feel good about the food we just ate. They also offered vegan options. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone and would return if ever in the area again. It was worth going several miles off the highway as it was located in a quaint area of town surrounded by art installations and vibrant flowers. The atmosphere was lovely, and the doorway was surrounded by black-and-white photographs of the owner's military and police family members, which made us feel at home as a military family ourselves. The waitstaff was personable and wonderful. They were immediately familiar with the word Celiac and reassured me instantly that the fryer was dedicated before I even asked. It was clear that the waiter understood the accommodations necessary for my disease. The gluten free bread was soft and not grainy at all (as it sometimes can be). We were so grateful to have found this hidden gem.
