Was really impressed with friendly service, even GM was working with employees to ensure all ran smoothly. Order is right 99% of the time (forgot to take onions off once). They are very busy and down to one delivery driver but other wise great food! Even has Gluten free!
This little smoked barbecue spot in **Ludington, Michigan** is an absolute must every time we visit—so much so that we plan at least *two days* around getting barbecue! It's that good.
The flavors are incredible—some of the best barbecue I’ve ever had. But here’s the deal: they have specific hours and often **sell out**, so plan accordingly. Don’t wait until dinner time or you might show up to find the doors closed and the smoker empty (trust me, it’s heartbreaking).
We usually grab our food to-go and enjoy it at the beach or at a nearby picnic spot, but they also offer indoor seating if you prefer to stay. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, make this place a priority when you're in town.
**Bonus for gluten-free folks:** they offer a **gluten-free barbecue sauce**—just be sure to ask when ordering to get the right one.
Pro tip: pick up your food earlier in the day and stash it in your cooler or fridge if needed—you won’t regret it!
Expect your typical small town diner type restaurant, EXCEPT excellent service and great menu options. Not very many places in small towns cater to gluten free diets. They have gluten free toast, which I was thrilled about. They also have turkey bacon as a healthier option to standard bacon! They also have apple butter jelly from Smuckers. YUM! The foodie in me was so thrilled! I visited once in person and once years later (today) for carry out and the food was ready in 5 minutes! AND my coffee to go was in a giant 16 oz cup! WINNING!
Note: They do charge $1.00 fee to pay using a credit card, but who cares. You're supporting a small local company, so it's totally worth it!
Located in a building called “The Port. The Port isn’t well marked but it has a sign on the front. Cluck Bucket is through the doors and to the left.
I found this restaurant on the Find Me GF app. The menu is marked with which items are gluten free and the staff is small enough that they know Celiac protocols easily.
I had the nachos and a side of the creamy coleslaw, and a root beer float. My husband had the spicy chicken and pits (pits are potatoes) and a root beer float. All of it was delicious and with their open kitchen format you can watch them make your food if you sit at the bar area.
Would definitely go back!
Had my Mom’s 80th birthday party in the Red Room and they did an amazing job! Food and service were top notch!! We have gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan diets in our family and everyone was accommodated!
This is a wonderful and cheerful restaurant. They have delicious food including gluten free options, vegetarian, and kid friendliness options. They have homemade ice cream that they make there themselves and it is delicious. Their food is quality and good for the price. Every time we come here we are filled with joy here and leave extremely full and happy. Inside is great with lots of decorations. The staff is very nice and always stopping at your table to refill your drinks and get anything you need. Great restaurant for everyone and definitely recommend. This restaurant also has house made dressings which is delicious the ranch is so good.
The service was quick in spite of a full dining room. I was able to leave toast off my order (they didn't have gluten free toast) and they lowered the price. Staff was friendly :-)
Went for Mother's Day. Great staff, amazing chef catered to my gluten allergy & made a phenomenal meal. Yum! Friendly, accommodating staff. 5 stars for sure.
