Amazing place. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Fried pickles are my favorite and theirs are great! Fish and chips is also a go to. They have tons of options. Never been sick and they are careful and conscious.

The BEST GF fish and chips! Just be sure to check their sports schedule ahead of time, and plan to arrive early (or late) on watch days, as it can get pretty packed.

Love to occasionally come for fried fish, onion rings. and fries, only thing missing is actual gluten free beer like Red Bridge or Lakefront New Grist Pilsner, they only have the gluten “reduced” beers sadly.

It is a great little no-frills pub with a lively crowd and a no-nonsense menu. GF items are clearly marked. Our server confirmed there is a dedicated fryer. I had bacon cheesefries with ranch dressing and the dry rubbed jumbo chicken wings, and had zero issues. Always nice to be able to eat no frills food like this.

Delicious fish and chips in dedicated fryer!! Also, it’s a pub. Server was not particularly friendly, floors were sticky, etc. Coleslaw was a tiny portion. But the food was good, and the prices were reasonable!

Nice little hole in the wall pub with several games on the TVs and lots of gf options. Fryers are dedicated. Had wings, fries, nachos, fried pickles etc. No frills, but cool spot to watch a game, have pub food, kill some drinks and feel normal.

Told the waiter I was celiac and he say anything or write it down. Had the fried pickles and they were good. Had the chicken tenders and they were really dry. This restaurant has a lot of gluten free options but I would suggest trying somewhere else with better options and better service!

While the food was good, we didn’t make it out of the restaurant before becoming ill. Despite being given all assurances that we were “in the right place”, my meal was contaminated. I suspect this is the result of inadequate staffing which is common for the times but can make it difficult to be as careful as needed.

I ordered a beer marked gluten free and our server was quick to let me know it was just gluten reduced. I warned them I had celiac and they were incredibly kind and made sure to let the kitchen know. Really enjoyed the experience, the staff that was clearly trained, and the food was great!

Omg! It’s SO nice to have so many GF “junk food” options! I haven’t had fish and chips or fried pickles or onion rings since before I found out I was celiac!! The wait staff was very knowledgeable on GF. They have a dedicated GF fryer! Love it!

I wish I would have prioritized this as one of my first stops. Tried the fried pickles, chicken wings, and chicken strips with fries. All were so good, and super exciting to get some fried foods! Celiac of 17 years, and had no issues after. Highly recommend. Wish I could go back!

Amazing experience. We had the fried pickles and chicken tenders with fries. Dedicated fryer, everything is clearly labeled and our meal was 10/10 wonderful and completely safe (zero cross contamination and felt the safest I’ve felt dining out in years). Our waitress went above and beyond. I had to double check everything was gluten free because it looked and tasted awesome.

This establishment is great for someone who really likes a sports bar/pub vibe and doesn’t care as much about the quality of food. It was definitely safe. The waiter made me feel confident about that. Definitely a dedicated fryer. Just not a lot to write home about as far as taste goes. Did not get sick, but won’t go back.

The owner's family has celiac in it so he takes pride in hearing people saying they never thought they'd be able to enjoy fish and chips or chicken tenders ever. My celiac husband was beside himself with joy to enjoy fish and chips for the first time since he was diagnosed. Very happy!

Gluten free onion rings and gluten free fish and chips 😍🥰.
I'm very sensitive celiac. I've ordered from them 5 or 6 times. I usually get onion rings and fish and chips. I've had the chicken strips but not nearly as good as the fish and onion rings.
It is outstanding. I'm not sure how much is that I've MISSED onion rings and F&C or if it's actually good but I don't taste a difference from my memory. My husband who is not gluten sensitive also orders from here more than I do and also enjoys the food.
I'm very happy with this restaurant.
I have not noticed any gluten cross-contamination because I didn't get sick!
But boyyy I have missed onion rings.

Good taste, staff was knowledgeable, server even mentioned that they would normally bring malt vinegar for fish and chips, but she knows it isn't safe. Good selection of gf beers and ciders too. Also tried the fried pickles - spears instead of slices, unusual but still delicious!
