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.

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.

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.

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.

Outstanding "All You Can Eat" Cod dinner, 3 pieces to start, two more to follow...big eaters will be in Heaven w/ this $16.99 Friday Night Special. Wife had a Personal sized pizza, made to perfection. Enjoy a NA beer once in a while, only one they serve is Bud's Busch NA...skip it, no taste at all, horrible beverage. (George...go w/ O'Doul's or Sharp's, at least those have some taste to them). Highlight of the entire evening was our spectacular server, Linda. She made us feel welcome and like we were her only customer (she's kept George outta trouble going on 34 years...amazing person). Son w/ gluten allergy found out we were at Peegeos & promptly asked for an order of GF, char broiled wings to-go...Best in Northern Michigan.
