Top 6 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Mackinac Island

Isabel Vega

Ordered tomato bisque (minus croutons) and french dip sandwich on gluten free hoagie roll (minus the au jus since not gluten free) substituted sides for gluten free tortilla chips that the server said would be from a different bag/area for no cross contamination. He also made sure to mark my order with a SEVERE ALLERGY notice to ensure that all allergy protocols were taken and when food arrived he walked me through how it was all prepared and that the bread and chips were different from my counterparts since it was gluten free. Great food, good service, would recommend.

I have celiac disease and was super worried about options while on the island. However, I was pleasantly surprised when my family and I stopped here, I was greeted with options! Our waitress was very knowledgeable of celiac and the risk of cross contamination. There isn’t a gluten free menu but, they can help guide your order. I got the grilled whitefish, kettle chips, the slaw, and a small side salad. This has to be my best gluten free food experience through our whole trip. Super thankful for the safety precautions and my illness being taken seriously! Highly recommend for anyone gluten free and not.

We chose to eat here because we had searched on the Find Me Gluten Free app for a place for my husband and I to get lunch. It was highly recommended so we gave it a try and we were so happy we went! For starters, the gentleman at the register, who has an epic mustache by the way, saw my husband outside with our dog and he immediately went to get water for him. That was just such an awesome and kind gesture. I ordered The Michaelangelo, my husband ordered the gluten free Turkey Chipotle sandwich, and we both got a lemonade. We couldn't be happier with our lunch. Thank you for a great experience ❤️

Not a good place if you have celiac. Nothing to offer not willing to make accommodations. had to sit and watch my friends eat.

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! By far the best place on the island to eat, as a Jamaica - I can attest to these dishes, by far the best place I've eaten in the USA, takes me back to Jamaica. Courteous staff, the atmosphere is family friendly - resonates the perfect Jamaican aura & the food is sublime, mouthwatering & and tantalizing, to say the least. My daughter has a gluten & egg allergy, which makes it a bit hard eating out with her. The staff was very knowledgeable of her allergy & she savored every bite of her meal, it warmed my heart to know they had gluten-free bun. We had the Trelwany Trifecta (3 appetizers of your choice) - we had the Seven Cheese Ackee Dip - it was mouthwatering with every bite; The Jonkanoo Jerk Beef Tips was packed with flavor & the gold sauce compliments it very well; Pork wings were succulent to the last bite. We treasured every bite of the Rice & "Peas", Braised Oxtail, Coconut Curried Chicken, Fried Plantain Steamed Veggies. The MacWacker, in my opinion, is the perfect sweet tooth adult beverage. The Manchester Banana Old Fashioned was well spirited. In summary, I can testify and appreciate the love, dedication and preparation that goes into the preparation of these authentic Jamaican meal, everything was well thought of & its great to enjoy a meal that is made from scratch & isn't taken straight out of a bag, can or box. Kingston Kitchen is serving up our number one soul food - the proof is in the puddin. My only regret was not ordering some of the Jerk Chicken, Smoked Jerk Pork, Curried Goat and Ackee and Saltfish to go. I'm looking forward to visiting Mackinac Island again and dining at the number 1 restaurant, Kingston Kitchen 🥰😍🤩🤤

We had a great experience! I read reviews beforehand and decided that, if we were not tended to within ten minutes (seated, menus, and first drinks), then we would leave and find somewhere else. Our waiter was excellent and provided us with all of the above, plus took care of a cross-contamination issue in regard to my gluten intolerance which I hadn’t even taken into account! We had a lovely experience with live music and a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend visiting The Jockey Club if it is at lunchtime and not too busy. GF lobster roll is fantastic!
