We went last week after our original food spot let us down. We took a gamble because it looked like a nice place to eat and had an awesome gluten free menu!! the food was awesome and the large plates portions were so big i’m still eating the leftovers 😋
Delicious hamburgers with a gluten-free bun option. Their sweet potato fries are amazing and they serve refreshing Northwoods soda plus incredible milkshakes. Inside is a cozy atmosphere, and in warmer weather there is outdoor seating. Carryout is also an option.
Great ice cream! Friendly service - they did not mind that I had questions or wanted to try samples before ordering. Many gluten free & dairy free options for those with dietary restrictions/concerns.
Adrian was our waitress and she was spectacular! I have celiac disease and it is sometimes hard to eat at restaurants. I’m impressed with Adrian’s knowledge of what I could and couldn’t eat and how to modify plates so I could eat them. She even brought me out my own chips and salsa so I didn’t have to dip in the gluten chips salsa that my friends were using.
Super appreciate a knowledgeable waitress that is kind and helpful.
Loved the pizza here as it’s thin style. I had one of my own creation and my fiancé had a gluten free with prosciutto, pear, and brie. Delicious. Gotta try different pizzas next time. Was great.
Great BBQ spot with an impressive gluten-free menu!
My family really enjoyed this place—we went specifically because of their standout gluten-free options, which many restaurants don’t offer. It made both me and my daughter feel confident and comfortable ordering, and the selection was much better than expected. Everyone in our group was happy with their meal, gluten-free or not. We’d definitely go back next time we’re in Traverse City!
So MANY Gluten Free options and waitress was so knowledgeable about keeping it GF and told kitchen about my Celiac and they followed all protocols. We will definitely be back
We love the pie company. I love their cherry coffee. This time when we visited we had pie and cherry coffee. All of it was very good. We do wish they had a bigger selection of gluten-free items, but we understand that it is unlimited customer base. We will go there again when we're in traverse City.
Me and my husband made a reservation here for our wedding anniversary. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This restaurant deserves all 5 stars more than any other restaurant I’ve ever been to. The waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free and all of their options. He was very knowledgeable about the daily specials. He came and checked on us a perfect amount of times which is very hard to find in todays restaurant world. All the waitstaff were extremely patient the whole night. The atmosphere was relaxing and set off an amazing vibe. I highly recommend making a reservation for this place as they are always busy. The food was the best food me and my husband both had our whole trip. Our drinks were made perfectly and dessert was amazing. This restaurant deserves a pat on the back for their amazingness. If me and my husband are ever back in town again we will definitely be coming back.
We are gluten-free, so we decided to try this place. Food was flavorful and they gave you a good amount. I really enjoyed the rice bowl, and the other two ppl enjoyed their tacos. The reason I am giving a 3 stars...we decided to order 2 pitchers of margaritas. We should have asked how much. We were sticker shocked to find out we got charged $92. If they weren't filled to the top with ice (also with so much ice, what a pain to pour)....and we got more than 4 drinks per pitcher, we may not have had an issue.
We had a mixed experience at Crêpes & Co. The restaurant was not very clean — the floors needed sweeping, carpets were dirty, and the overall presentation lacked care. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t make much of an effort to be friendly, which took away from what could have been a fun visit.
That said, the food itself was better than expected and had some strong highlights:
• Salmon Crêpe ($16.99): Filled with house-made dill cream, cold smoked salmon, capers, and lemon. It was tangy, creamy, and delicious — the best of the three we tried.
• Complete Crêpe (GF) ($12.99): A great gluten-free option with ham, egg, and Swiss cheese. It had a perfect blend of savory flavors and worked well for breakfast or lunch.
• Lemon Sugar Crêpe ($6.75): Tart and sweet, with lemon juice, zest, and powdered sugar. A simple but tasty way to end the meal — also offered gluten-free.
We also tried the Iced Matcha Latte with oat milk, which was creamy and subtly sweet without being too earthy — a refreshing surprise.
Crêpes & Co. has potential, especially for those with gluten-free needs, but the dining environment and staff interactions really need improvement. If the service and cleanliness matched the creativity of the menu, this place could be a gem.
Great service and atmosphere! The view was beautiful. Highly recommend joining the waitlist online- our wait was 80 min. on a Sunday evening. We joined the waitlist before we left our hotel and then spent some time at the outdoor bar listening to live music while we waited for our table which was wonderful. The food was good and it was nice to have gluten free options for my dietary needs. We would go back.
My wife had gotten the chicken there before but was just told the last time that it can have cross contact. (She has to eat gluten free) everything else was great! Our the order was messed up, but then was made right.
Don't forget you can get ice cream to accompany whatever pie you like. Sooo worth it!!! Of course the pies are absolutely delicious! Lesser-known is that they have a lot of gluten-free options and their sandwiches and soups are also very good.
The food is fine but every single time we go through the drive thru something is wrong with our order. Missing items. Wrong sandwich, cheese stuck to the container (we order gluten buns for my husband). Tonight was no different. Missing a Cole slaw and my burger had the wrong toppings.
Prices were good, food and drinks were delicious and the portions were pretty substantial! My friend is gluten sensitive so we were very happy they had the GF Buckwheat crepes as an option.
It was easy to take our leftovers to go in the paper sleeve.
The patio seating area was so cute.
This place is AMAZING! The ingredients, the instant care and caution about my celiac allergy and the vibe! The main girl Liberty was SO sweet when I forgot to mention gf granola and made me a new bowl while gifting me the other one for free to give to a friend. This place is chill and open. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone, but especially if you have celiac! My girlfriend and I will be coming back weekly! Thank you guys!
BEWARE! They show a gluten free menu…this menu says gluten free fish and chips. They LIE! What you will receive is grilled walleye with mashed potatoes and kale coleslaw. All of which tastes good but is entirely misleading from description of gluten free fried fish. I will say said meal was tasty but entirely misleading. So what else are they misleading about?? That is the question and the problem that will have me NEVER trusting this place with my health.Do not risk it gluten free community
There was a twenty minute wait so make a reservation. We sat outside on a picnic table are order did take a little bit to come out so I would recommend an appetizers. The burgers were normal nothing crazy but the nachos were delicious and I would definitely recommend them. The gluten free menu was a decent size so if you are gluten free this place is good for you.
A group of 12 of us walked in to Firefly restaurant on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner, and even though we didn’t have a reservation, they sat us within 5 minutes of arriving.
The service there was great, and they were very accommodating and helpful when I asked about gluten free options. While they do not have a gluten free menu, they had several meals that could be prepared gluten free, which I appreciated.
Overall it was a nice meal for everyone, the atmosphere was fun, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommend!
I love this location! Having celiac doesn’t allow me to eat out most places but I have never had an issue at this location. They always go in the back and get new utensils, clean the grill, and change gloves. They are very friendly and always complete our order quickly and with accuracy.
This lovely restaurant has become a go-to for us since discovering it during restaurant week several years ago. It has been a great place for me as someone with a significant gluten allergy. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff wonderful, and the food beautifully prepared and presented. Tonight, the food was still delicious, staff were still amazing, and the atmosphere still stunning— but the ratio of food to price and lack of options to bolster our meal with added sides left us sorely disappointed (this is coming from a TC native recently relocated to the Naples, Florida area— one of the highest priced places in Florida. Having dined at multiple places on 5th Avenue in Naples, we did not feel Artisan’s menu nor the prices were suited to TC.) We will have to find alternatives while in Traverse City as we left quite disappointed.
(As an aside, my husband and I split everything we got, an appetizer [$18 for a bowl of soup] and scallops [3 medallions on a bed of beautifully crafted sauces and thinly sliced fruit for $46. No drinks or dessert.] We often share our food and never feel lacking.)
If money to amount of food is not a concern to you, we most certainly recommend this restaurant.
We just used Sugar 2 Salt to cater our daughter’s wedding. We could not be more thrilled with the service and food quality. We feel like shouting it from the roof tops. To start, the owner, Stephanie, was incredibly easy to work with. She listened to the ideas of our daughter and her partner but offered suggestions of her own to make the food experience truly spectacular. For instance, she suggested that we consider an oyster bar during the cocktail reception. This very reasonably priced addition was a huge hit. It added such a nice touch of elegance. When we asked about a late night snack for our guests she suggested that we serve it back at the resort where our guests were staying (rather than the wedding venue) and her team put together an impressive spread of pork sliders and truffle fries with loads of topping options. Our guests were so delighted when they arrived back at the resort and were greeted by this tasty feast. We also wanted to offer cherry pie as a dessert along with the wedding cake. No problem — S2S picked up and stored the pies and then placed a small slice together with each cake serving. Finally, and importantly, the food was delicious! Chef Jonathan created a fantastic dinner including a salad featuring apple cider poached pears and goat cheese, brisket with mushrooms and red wine pan jus as well as chimichurri, fish cakes with the most delightful tarragon aioli, roast vegetables and root vegetable gratin with crispy rainbow chard. We had several guests who consider themselves foodies and could not stop raving about how amazing all the food was. It was truly superb. Finally, S2S was very accommodating for those with dietary preferences, whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or lactose intolerant. Nothing was too difficult to handle. We cannot recommend S2S more highly to anyone looking for an event caterer. They definitely exceeded our high expectations and then some. Thank you S2S for your contributions to a magical affair!
This place is amazing! The breakfast and pastries are definitely worth trying. I didn't even realize that my donut was gluten-free, it was so delicious. The coffee was also very well made, and the service was great. The small details, like turning the handle of the coffee cup when setting it down, show that the staff is highly trained and hospitable. Well done!
All locally sourced items, from loose leaf teas, to lotions, to Elderberry jams and tinctures. I highly recommend the gluten free lemon and elderberry bars! They are fantastic! This little place is interesting and worth checking out!

Delicious food and friendly service! We needed a place with Gluten free vegetarian options and found The Dish in a pinch. The Buddha bowl and greek fries hit the spot. The chicken quesadilla was tasty and filling, it's huge.
Really loved this cute cafe!! Everybody was so nice and they even gave us a free treat since it was my dad’s birthday! Sandwiches were 10/10 and they have gluten free bread!!
This restaurant should train its employees if they are going to list themselves as having gluten free options. They have one item only, an English muffin and when I ordered eggs Benedict I got a regular muffin. Instead of asking if I wanted the order remade since the muffin came in contact with my food they just brought out the gf muffin and comped it. Thankfully I avoid gluten and did not have a reaction but someone with celiacs could have gotten sick.
If you wish to eat fresh, healthy prepared food you must visit. I'm vegan and gluten free and did find something to eat and did not become I'll after eating out due to numerous allergies and food intolerances . It's clean food, a rarity when one eats out. It's also a great place to support since they source their organic food locally. Only suggestion I could make is that they should offer brown rice.
Our server was Laura tonight on a super busy Friday. We had the best service and the best food we've had in a long time! I have celiac and they catered to my gluten free needs with care. So much flavor and beautiful presentation! I absolutely recommend Bahia! Thank you Laura for helping us tonight, it was my 38th birthday and this was an amazing place to spend it.
What a great place! Our server Ethan was outstanding! Such a positive attitude and didn’t miss a beat! Our daughter has celiac disease and can’t be exposed to even a crumb of gluten, and Ethan communicated with the kitchen to make sure they took extra precautions to keep her safe. My husband LOVED his chicken sandwich and our sons loved the huge portions of their bowls and the quality and taste. My personal fav were the fried green tomatoes. It is not fancy but perfect food and service. They have a very cool outdoor area with a food truck serving outside and live entertainment at times. We plan to go back. We hear it is a favorite of the locals.

Best meal in Michigan! It was delicious! I got the tre chocolati as dessert, and it was amazing! I got the linguine, and I’ve never eaten pasta so good! Everything looks amazing! The dessert plates were decorated with chocolate. Yum! Compliments to the chef!
Edit: this review was left by my 11y/o nephew. He’s never written a Google review before but asked to and NAILED IT. He’s also a gluten free kiddo (has been for years) and doesn’t like to eat out because typically the GF options aren’t that good. So this review, from this kiddo, is gold!
