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.
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 ❤️
Very happily situated back off the hustle and bustle of Main St. The garden seating is idyllic and quaint. The menu is what you would expect from a bbq eatery. The plethora of gluten free options was great since I must eat this way. I went with the brisket sandwich on a gluten free bun. The bun very quickly surrendered as anyone with gf experience expects. My wife and son did the tacos and nachos and we were all satisfied with portions and flavor profiles. We will be back.
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 🥰😍🤩🤤
The tables were unclean and they only have gluten free pizza. So if you’re wanting pizza you’re great. Anything else you’re out of luck. Would not 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.
Delicious fudge!! No idea if the pecans are Celiac-safe [I am asymptomatic Celiac], but I did buy some chocolate pecan fudge, as well as cherry fudge. Both are amazing. Very glad I stopped by. They were open later than other stores--seems like everyone closed at 8pm, and they were open later, during the summer, and the week of July 4th, at least.
Having a gluten allergy I’ve been here in the past because they offer GF buns for burgers and the food was always great. This was not the case at our most recent visit. My GF bun was moldy, brought it to the waiters attention and they got a new bun for me and I never heard another word of it. I wasn’t going to ask but I’m surprised they didn’t waive the up charge for the bun at least!
The Tea Room at Fort Mackinac is an absolute treasure. While they don't specifically advertise gluten-free options, I had the baby salad with added chicken and, as someone with celiac, had no issues. The portions were generous, and my kid loved the grilled cheese. However, the real highlight is the stunning view overlooking the island and water—it's simply breathtaking. The service was quick and friendly, making our visit a memorable one. A must-see spot when you're at Fort Mackinac!
Nice atmosphere and great food.
Jamar our server was excellent and attentive.
Indoor seating is also available.
Many gluten free options were available.
Mission Point Resort's Bistro On The Greens had delicious gluten free options, and the servers such as Keciene were accommodating and didn't mind bringing lemons for our water, taking our family photos, etc. All of our encounters at Mission Point Resort were outstanding because they have such fabulous people working there.
Didn’t end up eating here because the hostess/server informed me that the kitchen was so small they couldn’t accommodate gluten allergy. Did not feel welcomed, so took my business elsewhere.
This place is the Best deal on the island. You can get a kid's basket with a burger, fries and a drink. They let you refill your drink as long as you keep your cup. They even accommodate gluten and dairy free. They gave me a grilled chicken breast on a bed of lettuce instead of a bun. No extra charge. I got fries and a drink for the regular basket price. Friendly, yummy and affordable.
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!
Beth was amazing serving us! She was personable and sweet as well as professional and efficient. John on the piano was wonderful! The food, as always, was excellent! As a Gluten free person I never leave empty! The views are lovely!
DELICIOUS! I am gluten-free/sensitive and dairy free. I was able to order a hamburger without the bun to include bacon and mayo, and they made it look amazing and taste delicious! They were also incredibly fast. I highly recommend this place while you’re on Mackinac Island. It reminds me of an old time long skinny diner. Not a lot of seating but because they are fast, we got in right away.
