Have eaten here so many times, never had one issue. Love the burgers and lots of other options. Get a side of tots!

We were super hungry after a long drive, and our meal here didn’t disappoint! I had a delicious burger and the truffle tots and was a very happy camper! They also seem to really get the GF thing.

Absolutely incredible - a MUST if you are gluten free (Celiac)! We ordered shrimp skewers, hot honey fried chicken sandwich with cucumber salad, and chocolate torte for dessert. Absolutely divine! Dedicated fryer and amazing service! Danny was the best!

Fantastic! Our server was so knowledgeable helpful. It's absolutely amazing to go to a restaurant menu on line and see GF options available for almost every item!

Overall, I’m very happy to have a place my Celiac family can go out to eat. Dedicated GF fryer.

Advice for fellow Celiacs, request no straw in your beverage. We ordered NA beverages and they had paper straws in them. Our GI and Celiac dietitian says to avoid!! I told the server and he said he’d tell the manager.

My wish is for a gluten free fish fry 🤞

Many GF options marked on the menu. I had the Hot Chicken which has GF breading and a dedicated GF fryer. Parmesan tater tots and the fried chips are also GF. Have eaten here many times and never an issue.

Service was great, very attentive to GF. I had parmesean tator tots and shrimp tacos. There is not a GF menu but there are numerous items on menu marked GF. they do have a dedicated fryer. I have celiac and this is a safe restaurant. I would highly recommend.

Great experience and very delicious. I got the hot honey sandwich. Breading was GF on chicken and gf bun.

Clearly marked gluten free menu. Lots of options! Unusual in the North Woods! Upscale pub with outdoor seating.

Quite literally the best experience. The owners wife has celiac, so everything can be made gluten free. They have dedicated fryers. Tater tots are 100% gluten free and they offer buns and everything too. Our waitress was super knowledgeable. We were visiting for the weekend and will be returning when we come here next for the summer.

The manager was very helpful, explaining how cross-contamination is avoided. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I recommend the grilled shrimp tacos on corn tortillas. Yum!

Really safe! The server said one of the owners has celiac. Separate fryers, gluten free buns, burger cooked on a safe surface. Tater tots were excellent. Didn’t get sick. Highly recommend!

I’d been here a couple years ago & was impressed. Today, not so much. Waiter told me tater tot’s were not gluten free, so I went with the pub chips. They were stale. Salmon burger was ok but not freshly made- seemed like preformed cooked from frozen. GF buns are Udi’s. When asked how my food was, I mentioned my concerns. I got a “sorry about that” and he exited our table fast. No offer to remake chips, bring a different side, or credit on the bill. To top it off, I was charged for a refill on my iced tea! $3 for each, $6 total. Who does that?!

Knowledgeable sever. Dedicated fryer. Delish Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tots! Old fashioneds were great.

It was nice to go somewhere my celiac husband could choose almost everything off the menu! And better because we are in vacation. Lots of great choices for our group of 6. Loved the atmosphere and we will be back.

Atmosphere was awesome. The gluten free options were great. They had a dedicated fryer! I had the gluten free mushroom and pesto Flatbread pizza. It was crispy and delicious!

This restaurant has a very cool vibe: decor, games, and music played at a reasonable volume. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free options. Our server answered my question about the fried chicken without going to ask the chef. I ordered the pork belly as an appetizer and it was good. I’m not a big fan of foods with fat on them but I had to try them and they were tasty. I went with the Nashville fried chicken sandwich with an upgrade to seasoned tots. I rarely get to enjoy fried food! One other member of our dinner party was also gluten free and she ordered the mushroom pesto flatbread. She said the crust didn’t taste gluten free it was that good.

I go here every time I am in Eagle river! I love their espresso vodka drink, and the 1848 burger. Their tater tots are to die for!!! I absolutely love this place, and always feel safe eating here.

I frequent the Craftsman! Totally recommend if you’re GF and in the Northwoods. This place is one of the better establishments in the Northwoods, just overall. Very accommodating with gluten free (some wait staff are more aware than others) but overall just be clear when ordering, they generally know their stuff. Great drinks if you’re able to partake! (Lakefront New Grist is available for GF beer among a good variety of wines, ciders, seltzers, and mixed drinks).

jessicas797

I have a son with celiac and it is so hard to find places with a dedicated flyer for tots/fries etc. he said his hamburger and bun was the best ever. Coming from an autistic picky eater. Hoping we have time to come in again before vacation is over.

Lots of GF options. Loved the prime rib sandwich and tater tots

Outstanding restaurant for a celiac family! The majority of options on the menu are gluten for both children and adults. There is plenty to stay busy with yard games if you have to wait for your table. Craft cocktails, clean facility, friendly staff and all were well educated in celiac foods. In addition , there is a separate fryer for gluten free foods! We will be back!

We had the buffalo blue cheese tater tots, shrimp tacos, the craftsman, and the chocolate cake. Everything was excellent! So many delicious options! We were very pleased!!!

8/14/21: We loved our dinner! I felt so confident in the staff, and I didn’t feel sick at all after! We got truffle oil tater tots which were ~so~ good, and then I had a sausage and veggie flatbread. You get *so* much food for the price, and the outdoor dining was exactly what we were looking for during COVID! 10/10 atmosphere

8/12/22: The waitress seemed to think the tater tots were in a shared fryer until she went to ask, so that was a little unnerving, but I got the pork Mac and cheese and Parmesan truffle tots and the entire meal was DELICIOUS. I would drive hours for this meal!!

Staff knowledgeable. Separate fryer for sides. Delicious food. Two celiac in our group-no one had any issues!

Always a “go to” when we are in the Northwoods! So many reasons to support this local business. Veteran Owned, amazing food and fabulous drinks! We are so grateful to the staff that is so careful! I had the best salad I have ever had last night!

Super understanding of celiac and gluten allergy. Dedicated fryer. Burgers fabulous with gluten free bun. Gluten free Parmesan truffle tater tots amazing. Liked so much for lunch, we went back for dinner same day.

Owners wife has celiac. Had shrimp tacos and most of the menu is GF. Dedicated fryer and great service.

Caitlin189924

The menu was labeled well. The server was helpful and would ask the kitchen about cc. However, they say a mahi-mahi salad is gf, but the server said the fish is grilled on a shared surface. We had the truffle tots that were made in a separate fryer, but the only thing I could order was the club sandwich and it came out with fried up meat and toasted bread. At that point I didn’t ask, but I’m sure it was a cc shared surface. 🤦🏻‍♀ Nice attempt but not a lot of real options for celiac safe.

Most food can be done GF, pizzas, buns, etc. GF beer, GF apps. We had GF tater tots, GF maple candied bacon with fudge and GF street tacos. Will be going back this week to try the GF pizza! Service was great, an hour wait because of being short staffed (like every other restaurant in the country right now) but the staff was super friendly and extremely helpful even though they were obviously very busy. Atmosphere inside was fun. Hope to sit outside next time, but we took first available table.

Menu items are clearly marked gluten free. Our server was knowledgeable of my allergy. I’m an extremely sensitive celiac and had no issues. We started with truffle oil tater tots. I had a burger. Both good items were delicious!
