Staff were very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient to explain their Gluten Free bread, and homemade chips, etc for me. I'm actually asymptomatic celiac, but always state I have a "severe gluten allergy" when asking for assistance. They actually asked me when ordering/checking out, "preference or celiac?" So, I didn't ask for their safety procedures. I had a turkey Reuben with Cole slaw on it (substituting the Swiss for Havarti). It was fantastic! The meat is thinly sliced, and I prefer thicker slices, but it was so flavorful. They had 6" cherry or apple pies (in boxes), as well as some brownies and stuff. The cherry was delicious! Tart cherries, with a lovely crumble on top. It has roasted almonds in the crumble, and possibly slightly under the topping. Worth the stop!!! We were passing through town during their annual cherry festival.

I love this location! Having celiac doesn’t allow me to eat out most places but I have never had an issue at this location. They always go in the back and get new utensils, clean the grill, and change gloves. They are very friendly and always complete our order quickly and with accuracy.

Don't forget you can get ice cream to accompany whatever pie you like. Sooo worth it!!! Of course the pies are absolutely delicious! Lesser-known is that they have a lot of gluten-free options and their sandwiches and soups are also very good.

The recently opened pop-up space is definitely charming & well done. It is exciting to see some newly inspired design added to the excitement of Front Street in TC. The selection of pastries was abundant - seems like something for everyone here as I walked out with four items just for myself (even multiple gluten free options!) I was excited to be sipping coffee from Panther who I have also had and enjoyed at Mission Proper in Old Mission (locations in TC and Miami?!) I am excited to see where this pop-up goes.

Great atmosphere. We had the buscuits and gravy and salmon Benedict. I was really excited they had gluten free English muffins and they were pretty good. The dirty chai tea latte was so good I got another one for the road. Kind of a bummer they charge $1.00 more for oat milk. Our server Kaitlyn was quick, friendly, and helpful. Would definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

Tonight was my first experience at the Burrow TC. I asked the waitress for info on what menu options didn’t contain gluten and she couldn’t give me an answer. All she said was “we cannot accommodate celiacs” I have celiac disease so I made the decision to leave. She was unapologetic and it was a pretty awkward experience. I’ve never been turned away from a restaurant before.

Little Fleet where the pizza truck is permanently located is always our first stop when coming to traverse city for the weekend before we moved up here. I absolutely love their chicken pesto pizza on cauliflower crust. Literally I would dream about it, it’s that good! Now I live in Bellaire and work in Traverse City, and it’s still my FAVORITE gluten free pizza in northern Michigan. Today I had the Kale, Brussels sprouts, with cranberries and goat cheese salad and it was absolutely delicious 😋. They have a new Italian Grinder, it’s not gluten free but it’s probably the best grinder I have ever had too. The food is fresh; they use farm to table local ingredients, and I am telling you if you’re a foodie then this is your place for a quick bite in Traverse City. Thank you for having a consistent product that doesn’t make me inflamed when I eat it friends. I will be back!

This place is AMAZING! The ingredients, the instant care and caution about my celiac allergy and the vibe! The main girl Liberty was SO sweet when I forgot to mention gf granola and made me a new bowl while gifting me the other one for free to give to a friend. This place is chill and open. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone, but especially if you have celiac! My girlfriend and I will be coming back weekly! Thank you guys!

Outstanding "All You Can Eat" Cod dinner, 3 pieces to start, two more to follow...big eaters will be in Heaven w/ this $16.99 Friday Night Special. Wife had a Personal sized pizza, made to perfection. Enjoy a NA beer once in a while, only one they serve is Bud's Busch NA...skip it, no taste at all, horrible beverage. (George...go w/ O'Doul's or Sharp's, at least those have some taste to them). Highlight of the entire evening was our spectacular server, Linda. She made us feel welcome and like we were her only customer (she's kept George outta trouble going on 34 years...amazing person). Son w/ gluten allergy found out we were at Peegeos & promptly asked for an order of GF, char broiled wings to-go...Best in Northern Michigan.
