Boss ChickNBeer

This is a nice, simple restaurant with a menu limited primarily to chicken (wings or very meaty tenders/strips) and go-withs for the chicken. Sauces are served on the side and almost all of them are gluten-free. Staff is very knowledgeable re gluten-free, too. Sides include things like potato fries, cauliflower and cheese (the gluten-free version of ‘macaroni and cheese’) and garlic Brussels sprouts. Portions were ample and we took some home, too. Food is ordered at the front, you then find a seat yourself, a server takes

your drink orders. Then you are called to pick up your food from the bar when it is ready. Suggest you arrive hungry and enjoy!

Our site visitor Brittney shared the news of the opening of Battery Park Pub with us – Thank You Brittney – you are so right – this place is wonderful!

At first I was a bit skeptical, due to the pub name and all.  One visit to Battery Park Pub and I was completely enamored!  So much so that I was seriously considering never sharing the info and keeping it all to myself.

I’m not selfish though, so, here’s the scoop!!

We arrived at the pub, found a seat, and immediately were greeted by Rachel!  She was well informed about all things on the menu and took notes on my suggestions for g-f beer since they had yet to stock that at the bar.  They do have cider and the White Claw Seltzers ( these are super popular ) but  they were out of on that particular evening.

We shared the pickled veg bowl!  One of my favorite things showing up in restaurants these days are the pickled veg.  Battery Park’s bowl was extraordinary – carrots, snap peas, radishes, zucchini!!   Perfectly made and super tasty.

My dining partner had the cauliflower/potato soup and pierogis while I had the mac n cheese with pulled pork topping.  We shared everything!  We loved it all!

After a bit, we were visited by the owner, Garrett, who thanked us for the gf beer recommendations, filled us in on all the details of how they came to be, and checked on our thoughts about the food!  We let him know that we would be back soon, bring friends along, and share all about Battery Park Pub.

Today! in my email!  Garrett messaged to let me know that they are now stocking Glutenberg – Pale Ale!  I’ll be seeing them tonight!

plus see our original post from Sept 2018 with Cleveland Scene article……..

Battery Park Pub is Detroit Shoreway’s neighborhood eatery and drinkery.  Located next to the walking bridge to Edgewater Park, it’s the perfect location to grab a bite and libations before going to the beach.

CoreLife Eatery

Strongsville, Mentor, Fairlawn

CoreLife Eatery is all about healthy eating.  Luckily for us they think that means its (almost) all gluten free.

The menu features bowls of greens, grains, rice and broth and power plates.  Pick one of their suggestions or create your own.

I had the Greens and Ancient Grains Bowl: Warm quinoa, shredded kale + arugula, tomatoes, corn, chickpeas, broccoli, shredded white cheddar. You watch the bowl being made and can customize as you’d like. The dressings are all gluten free. I had the greek yogurt bleu cheese which didn’t add much flavor. The salad ingredients were the freshest of the fresh.

My dining companion had Shiitake Mushroom & Roasted Tofu Broth Bowl: Vegetable broth, shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, shredded kale, roasted tofu, sprouts, ginger, lemongrass, sliced almonds. Perfect for a chilly day.

My only complaint is that they only offer complimentary gluten filled bread. It is the only thing that contains gluten in the restaurant but I wish they had a gluten free option or, even better, served only a gluten free bread choice.

I lunched in Strongsville. There’s also a location now in Mentor and soon-to-open in Fairlawn.

Jersey Mike’s

Multiple locations

I had a good feeling about Jersey Mike’s even before entering the restaurant.  A large poster in the window advertised gluten free subs on Udi’s bread.

The friendly staff clearly knew their gluten free stuff.  They recited the disclaimer: we are not a gluten free facility and then sprang into action – changing gloves, wiping surfaces, getting special condiments and fixings from the back, reaching for a clean knife.

You watch them make the sub sandwich and the team cheerfully responded to my ongoing questions.

It is thrilling to be offered a choice in sandwich size.  I chose the regular size which by itself made 2 meals for me.  But just knowing I could have had the giant size sub . . .

I recommend the Turkey Breast & Provolone which came piled high with turkey.  The Udi’s roll held up well even making it to my enjoyment of the “leftovers” later in the day.

Being able to enjoy a sandwich while out and about makes me happy.  I’ll return for more happiness.

I ate at the Mayfield Village location and Jersey Mike’s has many other locations around.

Myself, my husband and another friend ate lunch here Sept. 28. As it was a nice day we ate outside, with a lovely river view, rose bushes in bloom yet and very pleasant overall. I was presented with a laminated gluten-free menu that contained a nice selection. Most sandwiches were available gluten-free with lettuce replacing the usual bun, which was fine. Service was very good and my meal (Cuban type sandwich but on lettuce with green beans on the side) was tasty and filling. Prices were a bit on the high side, but the value was well worth it. Afterwards we strolled the waterfront and examined the information signs detailing the area’s history. A pleasant time and I’m sure we will return. FYI In addition to a fire pit area outside, there is also a huge outdoor fireplace with comfortable seating. I can imagine that evenings here are fabulous.
