Title: A Gluten-Free Haven with Room for Improvement
Rating: 3/5 stars
As someone with celiac disease, it's a rare treat to dine at a completely gluten-free restaurant like Papa Chops. I was thrilled to finally eat out with my family, especially on Mother's Day weekend. The food selection was great, and I ordered a variety of dishes, including fish and chips, burgers, and a pork sandwich.
The food itself was good, but the service fell short of expectations. When I went inside to ask for lemon and tartar sauce with my fish and chips, the cashier was surprisingly rude and snippy. She even checked my receipt to see if I had paid for the food, which made me feel uncomfortable, especially in front of my kids. There was also a miscommunication about ranch dressing, which added to the frustration.
Despite the good food, the service issues left a sour taste. With a bit more attention to customer service, Papa Chops could truly shine as a gluten-free destination. For now, I'd recommend it for the food, but with the caveat to be prepared for potential service inconsistencies.
Price: $80 (before tip)
Would I go back? Maybe. I'd like to give them another chance to show me better service.
A cozy family-run spot with an extensive, welcoming menu that shines with passion and dedication, perfect for those needing special dietary considerations.
Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with flavorful dishes and unique drinks, perfect for gatherings of all ages after a hassle-free setup.

Came in to order takeout for lunch yesterday— Molly killed it! She had to balance the floor (which had a 40+ party in one room alone), the bar, AND takeout. Food was well worth the wait; as a plus, the gluten-free substitutes were high quality.
This spot offers a clean, welcoming vibe with impressive variety and quality, making it a must-visit for diverse dietary needs.

Great service and even better food! Food came out fast and was hot upon arrival. Good spot if you have a gluten intolerance/allergy, as they have gf buns and the fries are gluten free as well!

Pleasantly surprised by this place, came for burgers with my family on a Saturday night around 5:30pm. There were lots of gluten free options and a good veggie burger. I appreciate that they offer a black bean burger instead of impossible/beyond beef, but there wasn’t much else for vegetarians, though maybe it’s too much to ask for a few more veg options at a primarily meaty place lol. Anyway, fries were good and my 3 year old loved it. We will be back!
Expect a lively atmosphere with attentive service and a solid focus on accommodating food allergies while you enjoy a satisfying meal.

I went to Sednoa Taphouse for dinner and had the smoked salmon dip, shrimp stuffed with crab, and the chocolate cake. There are quite a few gluten free options! I thought the food was amazing. The smoked salmon dip had the right amount of smokey flavor. The stuffed shrimp was perfect. The cake was absoultely amazing.
The service I received was professional. The menu was explained to me, food was prompt, and the server was exceptionally pleasant.
The only downfall is the atmosphere, the music was too loud and as more people filed the voices in the room felt very loud, which didnt match the ambiance or decor of Sedona taphouse. I wouldn't go there with another person if I were trying to have an actual conversation because they would be hard to hear.
This spot is a go-to for delicious meals with tons of options, perfect for groups with different dietary needs, and they truly care about your experience.

First review below is from January 27th 2024 3 stars
The food is good. The chips and salsa are very good. My wife and daughter got the taco salad. There was very few toppings on them. I mean very little! If we ever go back, that will not be an option for either of them. I got the steak fajita, and it was pretty good, but not enough shells to eat your entire meal. My mother-in-law got a plain quesadilla.
The booths are small, but the service is good. The price is a little bit high for what is relatively cheap ingredients. For the 4 of us it cost me about $84. plus tip.
Note: they are very conscientious of celiac disease. Since my daughter has it, that would be the only time we would come back here again. It gives us somewhere local to go when she's in town if we don't feel like driving out somewhere.
This review is for March 29th 2024
This visit was much better. I have moved my 3 stars to 4 stars. The food was good, proportions were generous and fhe wait staff was great, too.
If I had one complaint, it would be that the salsa was very watery. Almost like dipping your chips in a can of tomato water. I'm not sure if it was the bottom of the barrel that day or what?
Besides that, we will definitely be back.

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.

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.
A vibrant spot with a diverse menu, perfect for vegans and those with dietary restrictions, offering a relaxed atmosphere and fantastic homemade lemonade.

The first time I tried Seva in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I ordered the spicy green curry. While I'm not a vegetarian, I have a gluten allergy, so this dish was safe for me. I enjoyed it, but I felt it was missing some spices, so I added salt and pepper. My husband ordered the portabella caprese on a gluten-free bun. When the order arrived, we double-checked, and it turned out the bread was not gluten-free. We've had similar experiences at other restaurants, so we always ask twice. Since my husband and I often switch dishes to taste each other's food, we make sure everything is gluten-free. We had to wait an additional 15 minutes for them to correct the order. Despite this hiccup, I still recommend Seva, especially if you're vegan, vegetarian, or have a gluten allergy. It's a safe place to eat.
A cool spot with a fun pop culture vibe and a commitment to dedicated preparations, making it perfect for safe and tasty indulgences.

Alright, i haven't had a true burger since i became gluten intolerant, but i was in the area, and inquired with The Burger Joint about their gluten free options.
Not only do they have decent gluten free buns, they have a dedicated fryer where nothing with gluten is fried in it. Fantastic!
I paid $20 including tip for my burger with addons and a side of fries, and it was worth EVERY PENNY. Thank you The Burger Joint, for a wonderful and delicious experience!
This spot blends a casual vibe with attentive service, ensuring a great experience with a menu that's both diverse and well-prepared.

Service was great! Server was knowledgeable about gluten allergy concerns they walked me through the menu and the appropriate things that could be substituted so I could make a decision. There was more than just salad options. And they even had a dedicated fryer for French fries! I got a side of fries with my chicken and did not have any adverse reactions. I'd recommend when you make a reservation that you indicate any allergies they need to be aware of so they can be prepared and begin with that in mind. I would recommend them! Also it's not explicitly fancy, but definitely a snappy casual or higher kind of place. Plan accordingly!
With dedicated fryers and careful preparation, this cozy spot is a go-to for those craving safe and tasty burger options.

Our car enthusiast group had an ideal dedicated room for dinner dining. We enjoyed the spacious windows overlooking the lake, very fun seaside décor with a fireplace and excellent service. Upon entering our room, a beverage table with lemon tea, coffee and other offerings was prepared just for us. A group of polite hostesses greeted each one of us. was all spectacularly awesome! Kind and attentive bartenders were all amazing. I recommend the Bruschetta appetizer, and Steak & Shrimp for a main entree! All were wonderful!!
I had ordered the Salmon Salad, had a nice balance of dressing and the salmon was really tasty. It was quality salmon, neither over done or under done. The accompanying bread was exceptional. Gluten free items are on the menu and desserts are excellent. They serve delicious American cuisine, and provide an unforgettable ambiance the reflect the water, boating, sailing and ships.
It was too cool that evening for dining on the patio, but I’d like to go back and take that in. The outdoor patio was spacious and looks like a quality experience. You can do pickup, delivery, or dine in. Definitely, make a reservation ahead of time to not be disappointed.
We were impressed with how many seating options are available, several rooms in addition to ours. Thanks to RedWater Restaurants for this delightful waterfront dining option. We had no problem finding parking and pre-arrangements were easy and our meal order was perfectly fulfilled. Restrooms are spacious and luxurious. They gave our group ample staff when did exceptionally great at serving everyone very quickly.
This place is highly recommended by our table.

If you have food allergies do not go to this location. I was assured they had allergen training and could safely provide me a birthday meal.
The 1st red flag was the waitress was trying to tell me things were gluten free management confirmed weren’t. (I called ahead). The manager corrected the waitress.
I went ahead and ordered my gluten free meal. The person I was with does not have celiac disease and can have gluten. Their burger had lettuce on it. The only thing I had on mine was ketchup, mustard, (maybe pickle) and cheese. (To prevent cross contact) I was additionally told everything was grabbed from the back fresh for my meal.
Halfway through my meal, I found a piece of lettuce in my French fries.
This was extremely alarming considering nothing I ordered had lettuce, and all my food was supposed to have been taken from the back with fresh gloves, only prepared by 1 person trained in allergy safety.
The manager was told and here’s the 2nd red flag, well lettuce isn’t gluten.
While yes, I don’t have a reaction to the lettuce, How did that piece of lettuce get there if someone was properly sanitized and only handling my food? She had no answer. Unfortunately for me, that’s exactly what happened and I was ill from it. Someone was careless and was not careful with my food prep, handling gluten and then handling my “gluten free dish” which unknowingly to me was no longer gluten free. I did stop eating as soon as I saw the lettuce as the meal could not be trusted.
If they could not accommodate - they had more than enough time and warning to tell me. I spoke with the manager and asked her many questions before I even decided to come into the establishment.
I reached out to them to try and get in contact with the owner, it’s been 2 months and no response. I would not go here if you have food allergies of any kind.
Charming patio vibes, great prices, and a fun drink selection make this spot a must-visit for a cozy meal with friends.

Definitely eat here! There's several reasons why its a local favorite and you won't regret it!
The food:
What a pleasantly unexpected variety of dietary options for a Tavern! The amount of tasty Gluten Free choices available here far exceed anywhere else that I've found in Muskegon thus far! The chef has a solid handle on seasoning and flavors just to say the least. Our steaks were cooked perfectly to order (medium-rare), perfectly seasoned, and were so juicy! The sides were so delicious that they stand up on their own. My Gluten Free son swears their burgers and tacos are the best he's ever had (my heart isn't too broken since he shares sometimes lol).
The service and atmosphere:
Excellent, friendly, and efficient service is provided for sure each time we've frequented.
The atmosphere / service
It's one of those places where you feel welcomed as if you're a regular even when you're new in town! (I'm not super new to the area anymore, but even when we were) the atmosphere and service will absolutely keep you coming back.
After about a year in town my son also began working at the Tavern as his first job and I was not at all surprised to hear how exceptionally clean the back of house is kept, since everytime I had eaten there the dinning room and tables were so well maintained!
It really is a great family owed, neighborhood gathering place with great food and service! So blessed to have such a cool eatery so close by!

The restaurant was very busy and it took a while to be seated. Our food came out in a timely manner though. They offer several gluten free options which is great. I had an eggplant parmesan sandwich. Everything was great but most of the eggplant was tough. Otherwise the sandwich was delicious.

Came here for lunch! I am vegan and have dairy & gluten allergies, so I opted for the “socially awkward” burger with the gluten free bun. I was pleasantly surprised that they brought the bun warmed and still in the container so that there was no risk of cross contamination! Food was delicious and our host & waiter were wonderful and answered all our questions! Highly recommend for another who has dietary restrictions!

Lauren was the best server. Very patient, attentive, and vibrant.
This was a phenomenal burger—there are lots of toppings to choose from, some of them being minimal upcharge. Everything was high quality and had generous portions for a fair price. Sometimes you go to a restaurant and the burger upgrades are sub-par, but this was not the case here, everything was well worth it.
I really liked this place! Gluten friendly as well.

I have celiac disease and can't eat gluten, so I asked the server which appetizers were gluten-free. I know the main dishes that are, and they have new menus. She went to the kitchen, asked and wrote them down for me. One of the appetizers normally came with bread to dip, but the rest of it was GF. They took a GF bun, sliced it up, and toasted it so that we could use it for dipping. The food was delicious! I'm so happy that I can get fried porch and fries made in a dedicated fryer.

The place is nicely decorated and very clean. The bathrooms are very clean as well. We didn’t eat but the food looked great. The prices are reasonable and we will stop to eat at some point. Also, liked all of the gluten free options. We are not GF but know someone that is. We told her about this place too. Can’t wait to stop back. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality!!
