Good place. Food was prompt. Good sized portions. Acknowledged my wife's gluten allergy very well.

Big BOY

The pizza was so good and the place had this very nice small pizza place vibe with cool pictures the owner was so nice and goofy. Don't expect to have a big party of people cause it is a small pizza place. Their pizza was the best gluten free Detroit style pizza my family has ever had, you wouldn't even known it was gluten free. The regular pizza was also magical.

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 😋

S Schultz

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.

Donny Bruno

Gluten free bun for there burgers. Brisket burger was great! Their ranch is like a dill ranch.

Kandice

Food was great especially I have issues with my health can't have gluten and I only eat sea food

Stephanie Sweet

Great pizza but a little pricey. Our waitress was good and they offer gluten free pizza and cheese bread options!

Sav C

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.

Matthew Dante

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.

Amy Kilgren

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!

McKenzie Mac

Great atmosphere, staff, and food! I recently went with a friend to try out their happy hour deals and it was such a lovely experience. As a local, it is so nice to have a great happy hour spot! For dinner, we both got the Bolognese dish and I got mine with gluten free pasta - the flavor and meal was outstanding! Thank you for having gluten free options on your menu!!

Anthony New

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.

Ally Riley

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.

Kellie Kretzmer

Grilled nuggets are good option, if you're gluten free. If you're hungry order the bigger size, lol

jonae bovee

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.

Amy Rohrbach

Their gluten free pizza is to die for!

Deanna Krajenke

Amazing sushi place up in Traverse City! It's located inside an old elementary school and in an old classroom! The service was great and the owner was awesome. When I told him I had a gluten allergy he said he would have a new cutting board and utensils for me. There is already gluten free soy sauce on the table ready to go! Not only was it super safe to eat at but delicious as well. It's half the price you will get in town. It is totally worth the little drive for a great experience!

Alicia Ries

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.

G T

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.

Joshua V

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.

Julia Snyder

Best service, great food, and all of their house made food options have a gluten free alternative! seriously the best little gem in the GT area

Terri Gustafson

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.

Chelsea Dee

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.

Lalelale A.

I loved this place. They have light, gluten-free and vegetarian options!

Ayriel Norteña

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!

Emily Hennigan

MUST TRY! We were visiting Traverse from Chicago and decided to stop in. Being gluten free it’s hard to find accommodating and good spots but this place is both. Our server was super kind and had my half rack of ribs remade when we forgot to let them know bread couldn’t be on the plate. They even offered to make our banana pudding dessert gluten free. Amazing food, people and atmosphere.

tccherryguy tccherryguy

Awesome vegan food and great staff. The kitchen is very accommodating to vegan and gluten-free. The curry is my favorite and there are so many options.

Sara Rhinelander

We went for dinner and they were slammed because the summer holiday has started. Our server was very honest with us and in the end, we wound up getting our main course to go. Our soup( The whiskey, corn crab chowder) and salad were delicious. When we got home and ate our main courses(The halibut, the ribeye and a gluten-free pasta dish), were even better. We so appreciate the service and the honesty from the Staff, that we did not have to wait any longer. We will definitely go back and hope for a less chaotic night in house.

Lynn Blum

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

Penny Johnson

We love the hometown feel of Randy's. Thankful for gluten-free options.

Alie Fielder

Wonderful gluten free pizza!

Taylor Cumbee

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!

always better than expected. so happy they have gluten free buns

K B

I love this place. Incredible food, friendly staff. Gluten free options.

Gillian Southwell

Amazing! Our waiter, Skylar, was super nice and very helpful. Very gluten free friendly. They are great with allergy stuff. I really enjoyed my time there. Yummy food too

Amanda Reinert

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.

carri kincaid

Always delish burgers. Gluten free bun available. They have their allergies clearly marked on the website so it's easy to eat here.

Linda Porath

Recommend sirloin steak, salmon , sweet potato, great gluten free

Clara Kolle

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.

Lindsey LaMarre

Best Smash burger I’ve ever had!! Love the gluten friendly options. Chefs kiss

Craig Goble

Wonderful place for lunch! I really enjoyed my Flint style Coney dogs and my wife was very pleased with her gluten-free entre. The staff is genuinely welcoming and attentive...how refreshing! We will be back!

Diego Mateus

One of the best meat pizzas and open to options with no gluten, nice flavor and really cheesy

Kimberly Fisher

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!

David Hensley

Had gluten free vegetable pizza with sausage and side salad. Food was outstanding. Person taking order over phone and at cash register provided amazing customer service. This should be your go-to pizza place in Traverse City. Bravo to the team at Cicero’s!

Steven Benz

Being Celiac, we love the Grill for their clearly marked GF selections.

Cary Aloia

Truly an experience. We had my parents 50th wedding anniversary dinner there. The atmosphere is and architecture are amazing. Everyone loved the appetizers, entrees, and dessert. They also have many gluten free choices.
