Gluten free bun for there burgers. Brisket burger was great! Their ranch is like a dill ranch.

Kandice

Food was great especially I have issues with my health can't have gluten and I only eat sea food

Matthew Dante

Loved the pizza here as it’s thin style. I had one of my own creation and my fiancé had a gluten free with prosciutto, pear, and brie. Delicious. Gotta try different pizzas next time. Was great.

Amy Kilgren

Great BBQ spot with an impressive gluten-free menu! My family really enjoyed this place—we went specifically because of their standout gluten-free options, which many restaurants don’t offer. It made both me and my daughter feel confident and comfortable ordering, and the selection was much better than expected. Everyone in our group was happy with their meal, gluten-free or not. We’d definitely go back next time we’re in Traverse City!

Anthony New

We love the pie company. I love their cherry coffee. This time when we visited we had pie and cherry coffee. All of it was very good. We do wish they had a bigger selection of gluten-free items, but we understand that it is unlimited customer base. We will go there again when we're in traverse City.

Bree Woodard

Our favorite brunch restaurant in the TC area! Service is wonderful and they are very accommodating to gluten and dairy allergies!

Ally Riley

Me and my husband made a reservation here for our wedding anniversary. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This restaurant deserves all 5 stars more than any other restaurant I’ve ever been to. The waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free and all of their options. He was very knowledgeable about the daily specials. He came and checked on us a perfect amount of times which is very hard to find in todays restaurant world. All the waitstaff were extremely patient the whole night. The atmosphere was relaxing and set off an amazing vibe. I highly recommend making a reservation for this place as they are always busy. The food was the best food me and my husband both had our whole trip. Our drinks were made perfectly and dessert was amazing. This restaurant deserves a pat on the back for their amazingness. If me and my husband are ever back in town again we will definitely be coming back.

My wife had gotten the chicken there before but was just told the last time that it can have cross contact. (She has to eat gluten free) everything else was great! Our the order was messed up, but then was made right.

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.

Julia Snyder

Best service, great food, and all of their house made food options have a gluten free alternative! seriously the best little gem in the GT area

Terri Gustafson

The food is fine but every single time we go through the drive thru something is wrong with our order. Missing items. Wrong sandwich, cheese stuck to the container (we order gluten buns for my husband). Tonight was no different. Missing a Cole slaw and my burger had the wrong toppings.

Chelsea Dee

Prices were good, food and drinks were delicious and the portions were pretty substantial! My friend is gluten sensitive so we were very happy they had the GF Buckwheat crepes as an option. It was easy to take our leftovers to go in the paper sleeve. The patio seating area was so cute.

Lalelale A.

I loved this place. They have light, gluten-free and vegetarian options!

Awesome vegan food and great staff. The kitchen is very accommodating to vegan and gluten-free. The curry is my favorite and there are so many options.

Sara Rhinelander

We went for dinner and they were slammed because the summer holiday has started. Our server was very honest with us and in the end, we wound up getting our main course to go. Our soup( The whiskey, corn crab chowder) and salad were delicious. When we got home and ate our main courses(The halibut, the ribeye and a gluten-free pasta dish), were even better. We so appreciate the service and the honesty from the Staff, that we did not have to wait any longer. We will definitely go back and hope for a less chaotic night in house.

Lynn Blum

BEWARE! They show a gluten free menu…this menu says gluten free fish and chips. They LIE! What you will receive is grilled walleye with mashed potatoes and kale coleslaw. All of which tastes good but is entirely misleading from description of gluten free fried fish. I will say said meal was tasty but entirely misleading. So what else are they misleading about?? That is the question and the problem that will have me NEVER trusting this place with my health.Do not risk it gluten free community

Big BOY

There was a twenty minute wait so make a reservation. We sat outside on a picnic table are order did take a little bit to come out so I would recommend an appetizers. The burgers were normal nothing crazy but the nachos were delicious and I would definitely recommend them. The gluten free menu was a decent size so if you are gluten free this place is good for you.

Alie Fielder

Wonderful gluten free pizza!

Taylor Cumbee

A group of 12 of us walked in to Firefly restaurant on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner, and even though we didn’t have a reservation, they sat us within 5 minutes of arriving. The service there was great, and they were very accommodating and helpful when I asked about gluten free options. While they do not have a gluten free menu, they had several meals that could be prepared gluten free, which I appreciated. Overall it was a nice meal for everyone, the atmosphere was fun, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommend!

Great pizza and love their gluten free crust pizza!

Always delish burgers. Gluten free bun available. They have their allergies clearly marked on the website so it's easy to eat here.

Linda Porath

Recommend sirloin steak, salmon , sweet potato, great gluten free

Clara Kolle

This lovely restaurant has become a go-to for us since discovering it during restaurant week several years ago. It has been a great place for me as someone with a significant gluten allergy. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff wonderful, and the food beautifully prepared and presented. Tonight, the food was still delicious, staff were still amazing, and the atmosphere still stunning— but the ratio of food to price and lack of options to bolster our meal with added sides left us sorely disappointed (this is coming from a TC native recently relocated to the Naples, Florida area— one of the highest priced places in Florida. Having dined at multiple places on 5th Avenue in Naples, we did not feel Artisan’s menu nor the prices were suited to TC.) We will have to find alternatives while in Traverse City as we left quite disappointed. (As an aside, my husband and I split everything we got, an appetizer [$18 for a bowl of soup] and scallops [3 medallions on a bed of beautifully crafted sauces and thinly sliced fruit for $46. No drinks or dessert.] We often share our food and never feel lacking.) If money to amount of food is not a concern to you, we most certainly recommend this restaurant.

We just used Sugar 2 Salt to cater our daughter’s wedding. We could not be more thrilled with the service and food quality. We feel like shouting it from the roof tops. To start, the owner, Stephanie, was incredibly easy to work with. She listened to the ideas of our daughter and her partner but offered suggestions of her own to make the food experience truly spectacular. For instance, she suggested that we consider an oyster bar during the cocktail reception. This very reasonably priced addition was a huge hit. It added such a nice touch of elegance. When we asked about a late night snack for our guests she suggested that we serve it back at the resort where our guests were staying (rather than the wedding venue) and her team put together an impressive spread of pork sliders and truffle fries with loads of topping options. Our guests were so delighted when they arrived back at the resort and were greeted by this tasty feast. We also wanted to offer cherry pie as a dessert along with the wedding cake. No problem — S2S picked up and stored the pies and then placed a small slice together with each cake serving. Finally, and importantly, the food was delicious! Chef Jonathan created a fantastic dinner including a salad featuring apple cider poached pears and goat cheese, brisket with mushrooms and red wine pan jus as well as chimichurri, fish cakes with the most delightful tarragon aioli, roast vegetables and root vegetable gratin with crispy rainbow chard. We had several guests who consider themselves foodies and could not stop raving about how amazing all the food was. It was truly superb. Finally, S2S was very accommodating for those with dietary preferences, whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or lactose intolerant. Nothing was too difficult to handle. We cannot recommend S2S more highly to anyone looking for an event caterer. They definitely exceeded our high expectations and then some. Thank you S2S for your contributions to a magical affair!

Best Smash burger I’ve ever had!! Love the gluten friendly options. Chefs kiss

Craig Goble

Wonderful place for lunch! I really enjoyed my Flint style Coney dogs and my wife was very pleased with her gluten-free entre. The staff is genuinely welcoming and attentive...how refreshing! We will be back!

Steven Benz

Being Celiac, we love the Grill for their clearly marked GF selections.

Cary Aloia

Truly an experience. We had my parents 50th wedding anniversary dinner there. The atmosphere is and architecture are amazing. Everyone loved the appetizers, entrees, and dessert. They also have many gluten free choices.

Ashley Lange

Delicious food and friendly service! We needed a place with Gluten free vegetarian options and found The Dish in a pinch. The Buddha bowl and greek fries hit the spot. The chicken quesadilla was tasty and filling, it's huge.

Laurie Benard

This restaurant should train its employees if they are going to list themselves as having gluten free options. They have one item only, an English muffin and when I ordered eggs Benedict I got a regular muffin. Instead of asking if I wanted the order remade since the muffin came in contact with my food they just brought out the gf muffin and comped it. Thankfully I avoid gluten and did not have a reaction but someone with celiacs could have gotten sick.

If you wish to eat fresh, healthy prepared food you must visit. I'm vegan and gluten free and did find something to eat and did not become I'll after eating out due to numerous allergies and food intolerances . It's clean food, a rarity when one eats out. It's also a great place to support since they source their organic food locally. Only suggestion I could make is that they should offer brown rice.

Theresa Grist

Our server was Laura tonight on a super busy Friday. We had the best service and the best food we've had in a long time! I have celiac and they catered to my gluten free needs with care. So much flavor and beautiful presentation! I absolutely recommend Bahia! Thank you Laura for helping us tonight, it was my 38th birthday and this was an amazing place to spend it.

Lisa Johnson

Great omelet. And they even have gluten-free toast!!

Joseph Miskiw

The ice cream at Woodland Sweets was a delightful treat—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. I was especially pleased with their gluten-free option, allowing me to indulge worry-free. A perfect spot for a sweet, inclusive indulgence!

What a great place! Our server Ethan was outstanding! Such a positive attitude and didn’t miss a beat! Our daughter has celiac disease and can’t be exposed to even a crumb of gluten, and Ethan communicated with the kitchen to make sure they took extra precautions to keep her safe. My husband LOVED his chicken sandwich and our sons loved the huge portions of their bowls and the quality and taste. My personal fav were the fried green tomatoes. It is not fancy but perfect food and service. They have a very cool outdoor area with a food truck serving outside and live entertainment at times. We plan to go back. We hear it is a favorite of the locals.

Lindsay McLaughlin

Loved my visit here- will be back lots! As a gluten free person I was bummed when the former restaurant in this space closed because they had so many gluten free options. But Chubby Unicorn easily did one of their delicious signature sandwiches gluten free. The bread was so good that I almost sent it back convinced it wasn’t gluten free. Cute vibes, super friendly team working. And the outdoor patio is just the cutest!

Samuel Jun

Really tasty food and fun cocktails. The staff was awesome and fun, I've come to really appreciate when it's clear the staff is having a good time. They were also very accommodating for my gluten free gf! My reccs: - Ramp martini (very unique and probably not for everyonee - Mushroom toast - w/e the Eggplant dish was Can be difficult to get a reservation for, so look in advance!
