Review of Poppycocks

WTF! I love the vibe here which is warm, cozy, local BUT there is an insincere effort on the gluten free. The great menu has a handful of items marked gluten free or vegan (other than salads). But when you order and ask them to let the chef know you are gluten free then suddenly items marked Gluten Free are no longer safe for you to it. Oh that goes in a commom fryer. Well one ingredient isnt gluten free and it cannot be left off per the chef. It used to be gluten free but the chef apparently changed something and didnt tell anyone which was news to the waitress who told everyone before me it was ok and its marked gluten free on the menu. We can offer you a side salad or some veggie curry. Yeah no we dont have gluten free pasta noodles anymore. Ok I give up and my wine and cup of chicken chili which was simply spicy broth with no chicken or veggies. While I finish my wine the chef comes out annoyed to discuss with the front of house manager what is GF safe, with great emphasis he cites several side salads. Its Northern Michigan in the fall, pass on the side salads dude.
