Is gluten free friendly. Nice people. Good sandwiches.

Solid food, cocktail, and beer choices, with some vegan and gluten free options as well. Pricing is in the middle to high end. There are $15-20 dishes, but can easily go into the $25-35 range or even higher. There is a speakeasy downstairs, but it was closed when we visited. Would recommend making a reservation to avoid waiting, as it can get busy.

Pagliai's has amazing pizza and pasta. They also have a great gluten free pizza which means we can still enjoy their pizza after my husband's Celiac diagnosis!

I have always been pleased with my drinks, and the gluten free cookies are always appreciated. The atmosphere is always perfect for either working or chatting with friends.

We ate here twice. First time was a friday during lent so no meat. We started with the badger bites, which are cheese curds. They were ok but seemed light on the cheese and heavy on the breading. Then i had the fumblerooski which is an all plant based burger. First time ever having a plant based burger. It does not taste like a normal burger but with all the toppings and ketchup it tasted ok. Daughter got the fish strips. She said they were very good. The second time we went i got the pigskin which was a very good pulled pork sandwich. I also got onion rings and they were really good also. My wife got the grilled chicken sandwich and said it was also good. Two daughters got build a burgers and both really liked the burgers and they were very filling. They got tater tots which they really liked and french fries which were just ok as they were over cooked. As far as service that was disappointing. Our waitress would walk past our table and never stop to check in. We had to flag other waiter down to get drink refills. Had to ask for check. Now the place itself was pretty cool. One wall was pictures of all the current kids from that county playing sports at different colleges throughout the country. Some small colleges and some major D1 colleges. They also had pics of some of the more famouse athletes from the area. That was really cool. 2/23/25 Visited again. Service was better but restaurant about empty when we visited. My wife got the pigskin but on gluten free bun. It was very good tasting pulled pork though bbq had just a little kick. I got the big chef salad with breaded chicken. Had a good amount of breaded chicken. It was light on tomato and onion. The dressing was almost frozen. But still was good. Also got coleslaw. It had no taste at all.
