A better version of Round the Clock. I love the biscuits and gravy with over easy eggs on top. Gluten free options for my son too! I love being able to get breakfast for dinner and getting breakfast food to go. Been coming here for years. Very casual place, very community feel. And the owner is a very sweet man who is of few words but really cares about his customers. I love that he cares about allergies and dietary requirements.

This restaurant has fun, family friendly seating with unique views of boats and a bridge turning for a train! The food that we received was delicious- grilled chicken Caesar wrap was flavorful, the salmon burger was good, the gluten free bun was wonderful on the beyond burger. Our server was friendly and quick, not overly personal, but did a fine job. We had two issues with the four orders we put in, but they were resolved quickly. The baby carrots on the side were white and dry, but I don’t have high expectations for baby carrots. Overall, a solid restaurant. I would eat again!

Great staff, our family is celiac. They are very careful about cross contamination, cleaned grill prior to cooking and changed gloves. Very generous fries and friendly staff! Our go-to in Michigan City. Thanks 5 Guys!

Going to say I love Chipotle as someone who is gluten free and think that this location was just busy and it was an honest mistake! Ordered for pickup (5 bowls) and each bowl wasn’t labeled and wasn’t assembled correctly. When we went inside to pick it up there was a long line so I think the staff was in a rush. Very fun puzzle of figuring out who’s bowl was what but we lived!

Ordered a gluten free pizza meat lovers edition and it was literally the best freaking gf pizza I've ever had. Sauce tastes amazing, toppings were great, crust was chewy, crunchy, and cooked perfectly. I wish I lived here so I could get it every day 😂. The only negative is that the pizza was a little greasy, but still worth it!!

My family and I love this place.. I wish they offered more things I could eat. They do their very best to accommodate my allowed diet which I do appreciate. I have to avoid the high FodMap diet and eat only the low FodMap diet in addition to having to eat gluten free, dairy free, I might also be allergic to eggs, plus have to avoid some of the 8 top allergens. I try and watch everything I order. I'd love to see more non battered deep fried meats, more vegetable choices like plain green beans, baked potatoes, etc or even fresh fruit like blueberries, strawberries, grapes, etc. I'd still eat here If they didn't make changes we just don't eat there as often now.

Very good and engaging service. They take mindful care for those who must be gluten free. The food and options are great and flavorful, something we Celiacs don't always get when eating out. I'm from Chicago and was visiting friends. This is one of their favorite places.

The food was delicious! The people were so nice and accommodating. They actually made me a meat bowl because I'm gluten and dairy free. I would recommend it to all my friends!
