Anyone who is gluten-free and Dairy free knows that finding treats is difficult. Love the options here!

Absolutely incredible every time! My spouse and I make the long drive up from Cincinnati, Ohio every couple of months just to experience the joy of an allergy friendly breakfast! We are both cross-contamination sensitive celiac, as well as having some other odd (and common!) allergies between us, such as apples, eggs, and peanuts. Anna's House handles this all with no problem! We have never had a single reaction eating here. This time we had the pleasure of meeting Sharlet, who came out to our table to personally deliver our food, reassuring us that everything was safe, and even listed some of the ingredients for us! She was incredibly warm, kind, and happy to get to know us, as well as incredibly knowledgeable about the food she was serving us! Anna's house has separate preparation areas as well as the cutest little 'ALLERGY' picks that they place in your food so you KNOW it's safe! Thank you anna's house, but especially thank you to Shar, who made us feel so welcome and safe.

My spouse and I went out for dinner on Friday night and were pleasantly surprised with how amazing our meal was. He has a gluten intolerance, and there were so many items on the menu for him to enjoy. I loved the mushroom strogonoff, and our drinks were delicious.

Lisa Lull

Delicious food and cocktails, friendly service, casual but elevated atmosphere. Very accommodating of allergies/gluten free. Solid choice for friends, family or date night!

Clare Liening

Had the best tapas paired with the best service from Derick, our waiter. Loved that they had a gluten free baguette with pesto, and all of our food was delicious.

Laura Hoitenga

The only thing I was disappointed in was the size of the check afterward. We ordered the Chef's feast thinking we would save money, but if you have to eat gluten-free like I do, you have to order the premium appetizer and premium entree, for which you are charged extra. Our bill was $94 for 3 people and we ordered the Chef's feast for 2. We will not do that again! The food was excellent and the service was very good. I just didn't know it was going to be so expensive.

Fun as how Everything feels here. I also really enjoyed all the gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Tracy Butcher

First visit here was several years ago on an overnight stay for a concert. Today I had to go back because that time was so good. Today I went and sat at the bar for brunch the staff (all 4 I encountered) were friendly and helpful answering questions and making suggestions that made my visit amazing. I went for this avocado toast gluten free with added egg and coffee, followed up with a citrus drink they mixed for me (not cocktail) that was the perfect refresher after the delicious meal. 10/10 recommend going here when in Grand Rapids, it is a super adorable yet smaller space so try to go outside the typical meal times or be patient and willing to wait. It’s worth it in my opinion.

Anna Flores

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN THE AREA! My husband and I started off just getting the most popular/well known dishes, however, the quality of the food and flavors are so delicious that we started branching out. We have never been let down, and continue to get more adventurous and expand our palates. So far we haven’t gotten a single thing we didn’t like! Service is warm and friendly. And I appreciate that they are knowledgeable about gluten free options! Eat here!

Dylan Kerfoot

Came here for Father-In-Laws birthday, and was not disappointed! Food was absolutely delicious with plenty of gluten free options for my partner. The drinks were thoughtful and well priced, and had us wanting to try them all. Last, but definitely not least, our server Kailey was amazing! She was very personable, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We'll definitely be back!

Jessika Wolfsen

Super food ribs, fell right off. Shows what is gluten free too.

Megan Foster

The cocktails were yummy and very reasonably priced ( most around 10$ with more than decent liquor). Our server was great and very attentive. I had the hoppin jane dish. As a gluten free, vegan I thought it was very delicious. Be sure you ask for extra green goddess dressing as it really made the dish. So flavorful! I wish I lived closer, this would become a regular for me! We would love a Noco in the Ann Arbor area!

Thomas Gaw

What a place! Jamie is an excellent waitress that makes this homie restaurant such a pleasant experience. Chocolate milk was divine, gluten free bread was even better. Will be returning!

Aaron Lehrman

Good pub with a nice burger and fries. Service was a bit lacking, though nice. - Big Easy: Half pound standard burger ordered medium and got it medium. The burger was juicy and cooked the way I like it. The rest of the burger was fairly plain and not much else to write home about. The cheese was not melted much. I saw it had mustard and no ketchup, so I freaked and asked them for ketchup instead of mustard which they did. I thought the burger was a little overpriced compared to the many of the other places I have visited in the area. If it were that good, I wouldn’t have a problem paying the price, but it was too plain to charge $16 and only get chips. - Fries: I upgraded to the fries. They were again fairly plain, but done right. They are medium sized steak fries with a good fluffy center and medium softer outer skin. They stayed warm until the end and were cooked just right. - Crispy Brussels Sprouts: WOAH! Powerful taste. There are several well balanced flavors that were nonetheless screaming for attention on this dish. I do like brussel sprouts and these were great, but a bit too much. That said, the parmesan was added as large shavings rather than grated which gave a great texture. The bacon is always a nice touch. The sherry gastrique was very sweet and powerful. There was a sour flavor to it as well that hits you at first, but settles down as you become acquainted with the initial shock. I liked it and it is worth trying. You’ll have to be the judge, though. It is a unique flavor. Not on the menu, but they have gluten free buns. Also, their Barnyard Burger was listed apart from the other burgers and I missed it. Their menu needs a bit of organization. They also have Shepherd’s Pie. Maybe I’ll come back and try that some time. They also list specials on their website. They are mostly drinks, though. I do see occasional specials for food listed on their Facebook page. - Service: We were greeted at the door immediately and seated at a booth at our request. However, that is where it seemed to go downhill. We looked over our menu and were ready to order and waited a good while (it was NOT that busy). Finally, I ended up sticking my head into the isle and being served by someone who wouldn’t have served us otherwise. Waters were finally brought (though never refilled) and our orders were taken. When served, it did come in a timely fashion, though. Paying also took a while. We had the credit card on the table for a good 5 minutes or more waiting to pay. BEWARE: The tip by default is 25% when paying by credit card. I didn’t notice until it was too late, especially since we were trying to get out as soon as possible since it was taking too long. I would NOT have tipped that much for our experience. Lesson learned. - Atmosphere: The booths have hard wooden backs, but cushioned seats (a bit worn, but not bad at all). The wood is warn down I think on purpose. It gives it that old-world feel they boast of. I felt like we were in Ireland or Scotland. There is a decent amount of old-world decor and the main of the inside is dark wood. It was overall comfortable in spite of the wooden backs. The music playing in the background was almost imperceptible. I could not hear it unless I really listened for it. Talking to my wife was not an issue and I appreciated that. The bathrooms were a tad small, but were okay. My wife mentioned the women’s room was a bit unclean, but I didn’t think the men’s room was bad. To call this place a “gastropub” (according to their Google Maps description) I think is a bit of a stretch. I think it is more of a pub with a slightly greater emphasis on the food than a pub. Maybe somewhere in the middle. I am guessing they have been around for almost 14 years (November 5, 2010 according to their Facebook page). Visited on a Friday night 7-8 PM. It was not terribly busy for a Friday and there were plenty of staff on hand from what I saw. Even a couple of the cooks came out for a few minutes.

Gretel Van Lente

Exciting to have a grilled Reuben sandwich that was gluten-free!

Alison Cardillo

Best burger and fries I have had in years. I have a severe gluten allergy and they were very knowledgeable and accommodating. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer for the fries and really good gluten free buns. The smash burger and fries were delicious and . my kids and husband said their meals were too. The atmosphere and people were great as well.

Alice Dreger

Great food and drink and VERY careful with food issues including gluten. YUM!

Beverly Mapes

Love this place overall. On this particular visit, we had a little trouble with some of the food. The mahi-mahi was very dry and the shrimp was over crisp on one side. Still juicy inside though. They also prepared us a to-go item that was supposed to be gluten free but apparently flour was added to the sauce during prep, which is not the norm. They acknowledged this when they brought it to the table, but it was late and they didn't have time to make another batch. Instead they made up for that by pro bonoing the takeout dish as one of us could eat it. Some loud diners at a table next to us that seemed to want the attention of all the tables around them. Our waiter was above and beyond, making a positive difference in our overall experience.

Jeremiah Jackson

Friendly staff incredible food and celiac safe!

Hannah Madaus

Added our name to a waitlist on a Saturday - we were 20th in line, but it seemed to move quickly. We ordered Smash Burgers and Build Your Own Breakfast. Burgers were great and the breakfast was cooked to order, they have a handful of gluten free and vegetarian options too. Everyone was pleased with the food and we got a big chocolate chip cookie to go from the bakery. The service was friendly, but absent. When we were seated, we waited 15 min before anyone greeted us or took our drink orders. I assumed they had forgotten about our table and that feeling continued throughout the meal. Overall we had a nice brunch, seems like a good restaurant for families, friends, and couples.

Danette Gibson

I enjoyed everything about this place. The options for tacos was beyond expectation. The host was very hospitable. I love the menu set up, you fill out your order at your table. Everything is marked if it is gluten or dairy free. Service was great. Price was very reasonable. Food was excellent. My peach margaritas was just the way I like it...tart 😊 They also have a pet friendly deck you can enjoy with your furry friend.

Kimberly Neer

This was our first time at Morning Belle and it didn’t disappoint! Our waitress, Kenzie, made great suggestions for us to try as well as accommodating me at a table that would be more comfortable for me to sit in. She was attentive to our needs and was patient with our questions. Her food suggestions were spot on! Everything came out hot and delicious. The cinnamon roll was the perfect first starter and could easily be shared. I love that they had Gluten Free bread that tasted like regular bread and my omelet, The Hummingbird, was light, delicious and plated beautifully. We will be back again for this morning treat. Thank you Kenzie!

Lisette

Visiting out of state and Hope G was a great server! Nice kind and answered all my questions regarding dietary restrictions. Most places say idk and she went out of her way to get my questions answered. It’s hard for me to eat to other places but this definitely hit the spot! Most gluten free toast are really thin and over price but the toast was nice and thick not too costly either. It’s hard for gluten free toast to be toasted but this toast was good. Some places don’t even toast the bread which I find not appealing since the bread is soft and turns to mush. The potatoes are a bit over seasoned but I rather have it over seasoned than taste like nothing. The portions are a bit small but if you get an avocado toast with two eggs and the potatoes it doesn’t over fill you. I hope they offer turkey bacon in the future :) Thanks for the service! Made my day :)

Jeff Myrom

If you enjoy variety and top-notch cuisine from around the world, this place is for you. We had a blast with dishes running from tacos, to kabobs, to poke bowls, to burgers and mushroom burgers. The flavors were excellent. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available too. Enjoy!

Kat Ghersi

A very cute Italian interior, great service, great prices, and they had gluten free options- I had a GF roll (although they only brought a roll out and didn't give me the oil and seasoning like my husband got for his bread. Luckily I'm not So sensitive that it mattered, but it might matter to other people. I'm sure he would have brought it if I asked) I had the wine sampler, so two similar 3 oz pours and then a 6 oz of the one I liked. Great option for someone looking to meet new wines. And I had the GF Penne Alfredo (made from corn) and added chicken. I added salt and pepper to mine but it was very good either way. We also had the creme brulee for dessert. They used some thick sugar (sugar in the raw maybe) and didn't melt it til it was smooth, which is odd for creme brulee, the top should be solid but this one was still individual sugar crystals almost melted, which means whoever was in charge of doing the brulee was impatient or maybe short on time. I think I'd rather have waited a bit longer for the dessert and had that done rather than have a sandy textured sugar on a dessert. I'd still recommend this place if you like Italian and need gluten free options especially. The menus were very cool too (lil tablets with a menu of options, and you can click on the names of food for details and a picture and a pairing recommendation) The price was also very reasonable.

Michael Pugh

Food is outta sight. Service was top notch. We ate here two mornings in a row. Would have gone there again if we stayed another day. My daughter is vegan and gluten free, and this was the best two meals she’s had in long time. She was giddy with the menu and the food, as we all were. It was fun watching her choose what she wanted and then devour it, knowing it was prepared with care. Two thumbs up.

Isabella Perez (Bella)

We really enjoyed this spot. The ambiance and service were great. Love how you can get a waffle any time of the day, especially a gluten free waffle! My favorite out of the love me tender, ol’ blue eyes, and hashtag (all were ordered gf) was the love me tender. If you are a peanut butter lover like me you have to get this one!

Yvonne Alexander

Worst ramen I’ve had- very bland and did not taste authentic. A lot of authentic ramen shops offer soba noodles, which are a great gluten free option, but the noodles here did not compare, and dissolved in the broth immediately, which was very unappetizing.

Megan Brutsche

Dylan was an awesome server. Very knowledge about allergies & the menu. He was very attentive too! Beacon’s takes allergies very serious - they have a dedicated gluten free fryer!! The walleye, oysters, crab dip, & fish & chips were all great choices! So hard to find fried GF fish. 10/10 will be back!! So good!

Anna G

Very well priced and delicious. They do serve gluten free burger buns. Wonderful service.

Kristi Bush

Absolutely delicious AND had gluten free bread!! Highly recommend!

Erin Boumansour

Great service and they have gluten free options.

K Nic

Very eclectic atmosphere (lots of fun colors, a variety of framed pictures, and plants) with a menu to match. Party tried the bobcat burger, loaded tots (totchos version) and the grilled fish tacos with a side of fries. The totchos were amazing (someone had fun creating those!) The burger was cooked perfectly and was full of flavor. The grilled fish tacos were tasty (fish was a little bland but the toppings helped a lot). Fries were cooked well (nice crisp on outside and soft on inside) and had great seasoning. They do have multiple Vegan and gluten free options on their menu and also cocktails & mocktails. Overall we had a great experience (Daniel’s service was terrific and they have Coke products which is a huge plus!)

Diana Howerton

Delightful place for special occasions! Great food and atmosphere. Good gluten free options

Danielle Melgar

Very thoughtful, comfortable, and efficient business. We had a really positive experience overall and will definitely be coming back next time we’re in town! Recommend for vegans, vegetarians, folks who are gluten-free, and anyone who wants good food, coffee and conversation or a pleasant workspace. Delicious food: My partner is vegetarian and got the brunch wrap. I’m vegan and got the resolution. Both were delicious and filling. Also the brown sugar coffee was SO good. Cozy, calming atmosphere: Good music at a good volume for both conversation and working on your laptop. Good natural light. Very clean. Efficient: We had the perfect amount of interaction with our waiter. Food and drinks came quickly. We paid through a QR code on the receipt. Bonuses: Gender neutral bathroom had a changing table stocked with wipes and diapers. Also loved that they leaned into the “penny” theme.

Ames

My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary tonight with a special dinner at Butcher's Union with our older children. Great service. Loved how different the patio room was with the huge skylight, rustic painted brick walls and tons of hanging vines and ferns. I appreciated that the Chefs were able to make my dinner free from gluten. Everyone loved what we ate. Dark and Stormy Mule was perfect. Steaks were tender and flavorful. Desert was good, too.

Paul DeBoer

Food was great from beginning to end. We have a daughter with gluten allergies and there were lots of options for her. We had the fish and chips (walleye!! ❤️), BBQ pork sandwich, and Apple/pecan/blue cheese salad. Saw lots of other things we want to try next time.

Amanda Andersen

Great place! Modern cozy with nice lighting! Food was fantastic (well Prepaid & seasoned), fancy drinks were delicious. Busy & hustling. Nice vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy free options if needed! Would recommend a reservation esp on busier days and larger parties. Was able to acquire via their website/Toast app and was seated immediately at arrival of reservation and already had a kids place with crayons all set up as mentioned in reservation. HIGHLY recommend the Maple Cinnamon Roll. Ordered 1 start, and took 2 home to go! They were that good. 😏 Worth the hour drive from Kalamazoo. Will definitely go back!

Lauren Gray

We ate here with a party of seven, four adults and three children the first time prior to a show at the nearby devos performance hall. We enjoyed the food, but what stood out was the friendly service, and excellent care from Sam and Theodora. They were attentive, kind, and friendly to our children. We had a great time and hope to be back. Restaurant was clean including restrooms. Nice decor. Drinks: 4 of us for lavender lemonade and loved them. My husband got a Paloma and enjoyed it. Food: GET A BISCUIT. They are dreamy. We also enjoyed the rest of our meals including a kids burger, the filet meal, the gluten free pork, and a chicken sandwich. Too full for dessert but also opted out because of no gluten free desert options. We’re likely to be back next time we’re in GR and want good food in a casual, family friendly atmosphere with nonalcoholic good drinks.

miguel ponce

This place is dangerous! i live upstairs and probably go here way to often, and when i dont go here for my morning coffee i feel like im missing out. the pastry's are delicious! even the gluten free vegan ones, which is hard to say from other places. and the coffee is a delight, made with love every time. hearts in the foam even in a to go cup.

Jennifer Hicks

Excellent food delightfully service zero grease on the food. Great for low-fat food eaters, dietetics, gluten-free eaters, and people that need specific items not to be in their food. Very healthy satisfying meals. Homemade muffins made daily very very good, yummy Highly highly recommend for a very satisfying meal any time of the day.

Toya Poplar

A uthentic American cuisine C ultural oasis R esilient style E xcellent atmosphere S uccess that supports the community As someone who is plant-based, I really appreciated their Gluten-Free & Vegan menu options., We received excellent customer service. I was highly impressed with the atmosphere and branded aparrel. Overall, Forty Acres is one of the coolest atmospheres West Michigan has to offer.

GRACE MAGUIRE

I have always loved Clean Juice for having healthy gluten free options. My mom and I decided to try the gluten free bread instead of the wraps, and it is all crumbly and broken, even before attempting to eat it. I’ve had these sandwiches before, and they are always toasted, yet they came cold. For $30, absolutely outrageous

Romey

The coffee was good however the service was a little lacking. They did have gluten-free bagels that the wife had she said it was okay.

Charles Hekman

My wife and I went here for dinner. We both had th OG gyro. She modified hers to be gluten-free. Mine was regular. We loved the flavor of our gyros. I thought the bread was fantastic. My fries were good, but my wife's rice was a bit disappointing. Both of us were very impressed with the value and low prices. We'll definitely be back.

Moriah Findlay

Visited for the first time today, it was a great experience! The ladies at the counter were very friendly. I ordered a Masala chai, and she warned me that it is spicier than most chais, which I was all for, but I appreciated the warning. It was delicious! The kitchen for lunch didn't open for another 5 minutes, so I looked around at local artist's displays, and local goodies they had for sale. It was also nice to just sit in a comfortable chair and wait for my food to be brought out to me. I ordered the farmers wife sandwich on gluten free bread, which had great flavor. Generous on the goat cheese and avocado spread. All in all - excellent experience, can't wait to be back, and will probably spend more of my lunches here!

Mary Fridsma

The view and setting at Blue Water Grill are stunning and stylish, and they always have creative options for a gluten free entree. We went on a busy Friday evening, excited to try out a new entree that was listed as GF on the website. Sadly when we placed our order I found that the item was not actually GF. The server was extremely apologetic that the website was incorrect and suggested some other delicious sounding options. After placing my order, the head chef offered to make a GF version of the item I originally wanted and it was so delicious I had tears in my eyes! The food was outstanding, and their service was above and beyond!!

Trixie R

Good food and good service. My food was lukewarm, but we had a huge group, so that's probably to be expected. They have gluten free toast, which is great for the people with celiac in the family.
