Everything was gluten free and the owner was so nice, friendly, and helpful. My husband had the fritatta and I had the cinnamon roll french toast and everything was so delicious! They have a great selection of soups and treats also. My only sadness is that I don't live closer!

The place to be! I love that so many things are locally sourced. I had the gluten free French toast, an over easy duck egg and some bacon. And we took some macaroons for the road 🥰 The servers were very helpful when navigating their menu and offering suggestions. And the vibe was on point 🫶🏼

The food is always good & the staff is always so friendly. Went through drive thru today as we were headed home to Wisconsin Rapids & as I was about to get on the highway, we noticed they messed up our order (gave us regular chicken nuggets instead of the grilled we ordered, as I have a gluten allergy) & went back right away to tell them. They all apologized & fixed the problem right away! Always worth the drive for their great food & excellent guest service!

Stopped for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Spacious dining area and windows allowing for plenty of natural light. Gluten free options were clearly marked on the menu, although they do not have a dedicated fryer for sides. Our waitress, Katie H, was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and made me comfortable that my meal would be prepared safely. The Morning Madness burger on a gluten free bun was excellent. The Nut Job and Wacky Mac burgers, and snickerdoodle and chocolate chip Kookies (not GF) got rave reviews from my husband and son, too. Thanks for the attentive service, great food and gluten free options. We’ll be back!

I'm positively biased when it comes to Denny's 😁. With that said, this location is always awesome, clean & welcoming. It's always a good time! And the food, yes. I usually get the bourbon chicken platter or sizzling skillet minus cheese. With a gluten-free bun on the side since my life is lame and I can't eat regular bread 😩

Tempest offers delicious coffee brewed by highly skilled baristas, a rotating menu rich with locally sourced ingredients, and a relaxed modern environment where everyone is welcome to express themselves. Espresso, when prepared the right way, can transform any boring workday into a fantastically productive workday- every visit to Tempest has helped to produce some of my very best work. If you’ve never had a coffee that makes you do a little happy dance in your seat, I highly suggest you stop at Tempest to find out how happy dance-worthy coffee tastes. The menu rotates seasonally, allowing for the freshest and best tasting local produce to shine. There are options for nearly all dietary restrictions. Gluten free, Vegan, as well as selective GFV. All in-house bakery is vegan. They use a high quality sourdough that some gluten-sensitive folks, like myself, are able to enjoy. There’s ample parking nearby, As a regular, I highly suggest, parking in the first lot on the left or right rather than hoping for a spot down the hill and having to do a five-point turn-around. The interior is modern and clean, with local art featured year-round. It can get a bit loud at peak hours but, off hours are wonderful for reading or simply enjoying the beautiful view of the river. Outdoor seating is available when weather permits. Whether eating inside or outside, please note, there are two dish return bins on either end of the bar. No matter the time of day or time of week, you can expect to have an amazing experience at Tempest.

Do not eat here if you are gluten-free ! They may have a gluten-free menu, but the choices for breakfast are limited. I am also allergic to red meat, so the only option is eggs and hashbrowns. The eggs and hashbrowns were cross contaminated even though the manager promised to have the kitchen scrub a place on the large open skillet. Btw this restaurant is gluten friendly, not gluten-free. Which means they do have cross-contamination. I also witnessed a group of older guys change tables to a bigger one because more were coming. The waitress in that section came unglued. She wasn't very nice telling them they couldn't just move where they like. Even the management scolded them. I felt bad for them. The place wasn't busy, and they were just being proactive trying to accommodate everyone coming. The eggs and hashbrowns came to 12 dollars. I was surprised. The best surprised I got was the cross-contamination I got eating here that lasted all day discomfort. I will never eat here again or recommend this restaurant ever.

The gluten free Breakfast Cookie was delicious. The coffee seemed watery, the flavor I ordered was a Carmel Latte. They make the latte as a pour over, steam milk and serve. It took some 21 minutes to get our order. It was our first visit and stated so the person said take your time and went off to do something else leaving us with no one to ask our Qs. The parking is minimal behind the building something like 7 spots. The seating is nice but could be a larger space to be more comfy. The pastries are made on sight.

One of the few 24 hour restaurants in town. Also a place you can get seafood even when it's not Friday. The two main reasons I like this restaraunt. They have very good food and is inexpensive. Healthy and gluten free options. They provide a very delicious and extensive bakery items. Plan to wait if you come on Sunday however. This restaraunt is a tradition for lots of families to dine at after church. Hearty Man Combo and the Double Catch are my favorite.
