I have to eat gluten-free, and they have several options, including gluten-free breads and pasta. I was so happy to have multiple choices. The food was fresh and delicious!!! I'm eager to go back and try other dishes, they all sounded good. Our server was very friendly and personable.

We weren’t sure if we should visit Tello based on some conflicting reviews, but we are so glad we tried it! The food was great and the wait staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free items for me. My husband had the lasagna and the tiramisu. The tiramisu was huge! I had - glass of red wine, the gluten free bolognese, and raspberry & white chocolate gelato. All amazing. We will come back frequently!

Food was delicious! They had several options for Gluten Free and vegetarian! I had the veggie burger with the pomegranate bbq sauce, my boyfriend had the trout and said it was delicious and a good value for the money. Our server was friendly and took extra steps to make sure that I could enjoy the pizza dip appetizer by bringing me an extra plate and their homemade tortilla chips! Nice vibe and outdoor space. They had chalk for the kiddos. Definitely will go back during the evening sometime.

Best breakfast and dining experience I've had in a while. The food runner was funny and helpful. I was there with my two sons and we all had an excellent breakfast. I especially loved the gluten-free zucchini bread waffle. Delicious! My son loved the giant cinnamon roll and shared with us all. Excellent dining experience.

Hats off to Culver's for their attention to detail. Two members of our party have good sensitivities/allergies and their food was delivered on separate red trays with no other food. The gluten free buns come steamed in a bag to avoid cross contamination.

Tried ordering takeout from here as we were passing through town, phone rang endlessly without answer and could not order online. Once arriving to order in person, it was no longer surprising that no one was answering the phone as the staff were young and in all honesty seemed…. not sober. We placed our order and waited the 15 mins they told us, upon returning they had forgotten our meatball sub in the oven and it was too burned to serve, so we waited for a replacement. That sandwich and the gluten free pizza were decent, but we were laughing at the service.

They have limited seating, so be prepared to wait, but the wait wasn't too long. Once we were seated, our server was attentive and brought our drinks and food quickly and accurately. I ordered a gluten-free salad instead of a wrap and my companion had a poke bowl. The dishes were light, fresh, and delicious - just the right amount for lunch. The prices were reasonable considering the quality and location.

A great choice for gluten free folks!

Suzanne Binkley

Tiny portions and mediocre food. They did have gluten free options, though. That was a plus.

Michelle Anzures

The bowls and salads are my absolute favorite! This is THE spot if you’re looking for tons of vegetarian and vegan options! The whole menu (except for a few items) can also be gluten free as well! Super needed in this town! So excited!

Been a couple of times and it's hard as someone who can't have gluten. The carbs and cheese without beer cheese was decent, the arugula salad was tasty. There are a lot more salads I can try. The burgers smell good. The people I've gone with have enjoyed them.

I visited Dave's Place in South Haven and had an incredible experience with their gluten-free pancakes. As someone with celiac disease, I was thrilled that my body had zero reaction to their pancakes. The small size of the restaurant means you might wait a bit, but trust me, it's worth every minute. Their attention to dietary needs is commendable, and the pancakes were not just safe but also incredibly tasty. Highly recommend for anyone with gluten sensitivities looking for a quality meal. Five stars for Dave's Place!

My husband and I visited during a slow night in the winter. The staff was welcoming to us and the service was great. My husband said his burger was the best one he has had in a while, and that’s saying something! The waiter asked if he wanted his burger to have any pink in the middle. No one ever asks that and my husband happily said yes. I had the ratatouille. Never had it at other restaurants but it was great! A lot of garlic but the waiter warned me about it and I moved the garlic cloves to the side. The waiter was great with knowing the gluten free options for me. We will come back in the summer and try all of their fun cocktails and sit outside!
