Review of Cluck Bucket

Wasn’t sure about this place due to the lack of ratings on this app, but I searched for it in a Celiac Facebook Group for Michigan and saw that it was popular among Celiac and GF visitors to Ludington.

I was surprised that this wasn’t a food truck (but I think they do still have one for events) as described. It’s located in a building that’s sort of like an indoor mini mall of restaurants called “The Port”. The Port isn’t well marked but it has a sign on the front. Cluck Bucket is through the doors and to the left.

The menu is marked with which items are gluten free and the staff is small enough that they know Celiac protocols easily.

I had the nachos and a side of the creamy coleslaw, and a root beer float. My husband had the spicy chicken and pits (pits are potatoes) and a root beer float. All of it was delicious and with their open kitchen format you can watch them make your food if you sit at the bar area.

Would definitely go back!
