Gluten free soups and regular sandwiches.. 00 beer and Coors light and a bloody Mary! Salad was very fresh and learned music art was from the Skidmore gallery! The Skidmore was not open but will look online!
A cozy spot with quick service, perfect for a lunch break while exploring Galena.

I visited this Monday and ordered the chicken salad sandwich with potato salad. The chicken salad was so good! They have gluten-free bread. We got our food fairly quickly as we were the only group there. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch for your trip to Galena.
Experience a charming Italian vibe with captivating decor and lively music, perfect for family gatherings or special occasions.

Food was generally fine. The prices were surprisingly high and they add on a 3.5% service fee for using a credit card. Gluten free menu was a nice surprise.
This spot is a must-visit with epic flavors, incredible dishes, and a truly warm atmosphere that keeps people coming back for more!

My friend and I dined here the first night we arrived in Galena and had such a great experience that we decided to eat here the next two nights also. The place has quaint cozy bistro vibes. The food is delicious and flavorful, our favorite being the hangar steak. The kitchen easily accommodated my gluten free dietary needs. There is an extensive beer list and a good wine list. But the strength of the establishment is the very friendly attentive service of the wait staff and chef. I have never felt more welcomed at a restaurant or well attended to. A special nod to Lisa and Sarah for making our time spent here so memorable!
Expect a well-kept, pristine spot with plenty of outdoor seating, and a fabulous drive-thru service.

Apparently they don’t like seniors here. You have to ask for the discount if you don’t ask before they total your bill forget it. It’s too late They’re not suppose to assume you’re a Senior so you’re just out of luck. Oh and I paid $1.20 for a gluten free bun the fell apart on bite 3.
Enjoy a cozy spot with massive sandwiches, awesome sides, and plenty of tasty options to satisfy diverse dietary needs.

Delicious lunch at Big Bills. I’m dairy free and got a turkey sandwich with bacon, red pepper, mayo, and lettuce. Super soft yummy bread. Chips and pickle on the side. Chips are giant slices of potato with light seasoning. My GF husband got the same sandwich with a GF bun. My dairy free kid had huge chicken tenders. Probably one of the safer gluten-free dairy free options for us in downtown Galena.
Quirky spot with unique pizza styles and amazing salads; perfect for a laid-back meal after a busy day of exploring.

Had gluten-free options. The pizza sauce was a little too sweet for my liking, but I was happy they had a gluten-free crust. The salad was fantastic! My husband stated that their chicken sandwich was great, with the best bread ever. Service was slow, but we didn’t mind after walking around all day.
This vibrant spot with a cheerful ambiance and upbeat disco music is a must-visit for a lively meal or a sweet treat.

We loved this spot so much during our recent Galena visit that we came back twice more before we hit the road. They have great food and drinks, super friendly staff, and a cheery ambiance that's enhanced by nonstop disco music playing over the speakers. They get extra kudos for being able to accommodate my gluten-free diet. I made sure to get an assortment of their fun-flavored macarons to-go during our last stop in. I highly recommend Bread and Vine for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
