I LOVE this place. The space is super large, clean and open. The service is great. And the ciders are solid. I like that they are constantly rotating and trying new ones out. But if and when they are too weird for me, they always keep some on the menu permanently (the pedestrian cider is a fav). I have celiac and there are plenty of GF options and staff are always helpful in making sure nothing is cross contaminated.

Awesome Detroit style pizza. This restaurant has some, if not the best Detroit style pizza in the Midwest. Fun atmosphere and unique vibe are sure to make for a great lunch or dinner. In the summer they have outdoor seating and plenty of space. The only downside is parking, however there’s side streets and a parking garage not too far from the restaurant. The food is awesome and the service is very friendly. Gluten Free - they have gluten free pizza and dishes that are delicious.

This is the best place for gluten free fine dining in the area. The food is amazing and rivals any place in the suburbs as well as many in the city. The charcuterie board was to die for, some of the best cheese I've ever had. The fillet was cooked perfectly and the drinks were balanced and went down smooth. I highly recommend you try this place if you haven't.

Wish I could give this place more than five stars only because of the incomparable quick service. They have a nice choice of many gluten-free (GF) items which always makes me happy. My server, Andrea was exceptional and went above and beyond to make sure my meal was safe and indeed GF. The food was delicious, the service was incredibly quick (even though the restaurant was packed) and Andrea was very patient and listened to all my concerns and addressed them to my satisfaction. I wish every server in all restaurants would be half as good as Andrea was. I will certainly come back if I'm ever in the Rockford area.

Dalton's makes some of the best gluten free desserts I've ever had. I ask for their lemon bars for every birthday! They are so accommodating to all allergies and intolerances as well. I've tried a lot of their pastries and there hasn't been one I don't love. I got my first real paczki in 14 years there and it was amazing!! The owners are the kindest, funniest, most welcoming people ever. You don't even have to be gluten free to love their products! They're incredible!
