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!

This is our favorite coffee shop in all of Michigan. They have a wide variety of flavors for coffee, vegan and gluten-free baked goods and food, and the most friendly service! When we go someplace like Starbucks, they mumble your name and throw your coffee up on the counter. The person that made our coffee, actually walked around the counter and across the shop to hand us our coffee, and reiterated our order to us. Super impressed!

It was a good burger, and they get it out fast. They have a gluten free bun.

Hands down the best pub in the Muskegon area! The service is fantastic and the food is delicious. From the burgers to pizza and Thai wraps, it’s all so good! I also appreciate they have several gluten free and vegan options.

I love this place! Great selection of tea and the staff are just amazing. They're so helpful and sweet. Along with all of the great products they sell, they also sell and promote products from several other businesses in the area (Village Baker, Laughing Tree, etc). They have vegan and gluten free items. Delicious soups.

We went to Dockers Fish House for the first time in a few years, and we loved it! We will definitely be returning. I cannot eat gluten, and while they don’t clarify gluten free options directly on the menu, our server was so helpful and knowledgeable of items that are prepared/could be prepared gluten free—of which there were several! My husband got the chicken burrito bowl, and I got the Hawaiian pork bowl, and they were both delicious. The live music was a fun touch, and overall our experience was enjoyable. Definitely recommend.

They have gluten free bread which was amazing. The atmosphere and sandwiches were really good

Nadia Gould

Everything was absolutely fabulous! It was a special family celebration and we could not have picked the most welcoming venue. The food was creative and well executed, the cocktails and the wine recommendations were right on target and the ambiance was delightful! Jillene is the best manager ever - she took care of our son’s gluten allergy and we are forever grateful! Will be back soon and bring friends!

I thought we had a pretty good experience, the food tasted good. They seemed very confident about their gluten free protocols and the server frequently checked back in with the chefs. As someone with celiac disease going to eat out is always difficult. I got the meat platter and when it came out the corn bread waffle was on there and I tried to send it back as it was not marked gluten free on the menu. The server reassured me that it was in fact gluten free and said she checked with the chefs who confirmed. So I ate it and it was tasty, but unfortunately not worth the intestinal damage. I called back another day and asked if it was gluten free and was told no it wasn’t. So I told them I have a gluten allergy and was served this and assured it was. Did not feel that they took any responsibility for what happened, wasn’t offered to be transferred to a manager just asked if there was anything else I needed. Honestly I’m just really disappointed in a place I really wanted to like but honestly with the service I would not feel safe to eat here again.

Small restaurant with very friendly staff and delicious food. I have celiac disease and they gave excellent suggestions for gluten-free options and I had no issues after eating there. Would definitely return there.

SECOND AND THIRD TRIP HERE 7/2/22 UPDATE: It makes me sad to write this but I have to knock two stars off. Two. One for service and one for kitchen. The last two times we've come in food was brought to the table cold. Not just like it had cooled off, but more like it was never fully heated through. Service was... Painfully slow and orders were not accurate. I really hope it's a fluke and I realize that it's a holiday weekend but that's never an excuse for cold food. Slow service? Sure. Poor service? No. We hope that these issues get resolved soon because of how much we loved our first experience. FIRST TRIP HERE:Listen. I've been gluten-free and dairy-free for over four years now. This place has, HANDS DOWN, the best GF crust I've ever had. Better than Mitten Brewing and that's saying a lot. Theirs is awesome too. But 18th Amendment knocked it out of the park. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff. We should have come here for more than a cocktail way sooner! Leaving this review before we've even left the restaurant! I never do that.
