Great food made with fresh, quality ingredients. Menu is clearly marked and staff is well trained to ask if GF is preference or allergy. Pizza is larger than most GF pizzas and most varieties can be made GF.

I had a build your own pizza with cauliflower crust. Very tasty. Prepared near gluten pizza but in a different spot with different procedures. Did not get sick so I believe they took the correct precautions.

Delicious! Menu is clearly marked and waiter was knowledgeable. Added benefit is they pay their staff a living wage. We don't eat out often and when we do, this is the kind of place we want to support. A ways off I-94 but worth it.

HIGHLY recommend this place! the menu is clearly labeled for GF or GF option available and they use a separate grill and deep fryer for your meal. There were lots of options and the food was fantastic, especially the French fries. Bonus is that the ambience and service was excellent as well.

I have eaten here a few times. Recently I went for breakfast and while there weren’t a ton of options, the GF meals they have are really tasty. I had an excellent ham and vegetable omelet with hash browns. It was massive so I got 2 additional meals out of it and I felt great after eating there. I will be back for sure.

I had an amazing experience here today. The head chef came out and talked over the menu options with me. I explained that contamination is a huge issue for me. I had the English eggs Benedict that is served on a portobello mushroom. She talked to the cooks and explained how careful they had to be about contamination and even made sure they put new water on the stove to poach my eggs. It is now almost 8 hours later and I have no symptoms of contamination or "glutening." The food is delicious, local, and I definitely consider them Celiac Friendly. You just need to make sure to let them know!

Despite having various GF items on menu, the Nima Gluten Sensor picked up "low gluten" with everything I ordered on 2 separate occasions.

Celiac friendly?
