Having been recently diagnosed with celiac, I came across this place and wanted to try it out. I am SO happy I did! We went a little crazy and got burgers (comes with fries), onion rings, and mac and cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious! Not exaggerating when I say the fries were the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait …

My daughter (8) was just recently diagnosed with celiacs. This place was just a wonderful experience that made her feel like she could just order food without having to go into the usual “I have celiacs” discussion. Food amazing. Great options for kids, although my daughter really wished there was an hot dog on the menu. Best gluten free bread …

We went to Papa Chops for my birthday. Met my in-laws there (we live 2+ hours apart). They drove 50 mins, we drove 1.5 hours and it was well worth the drive. I am the only gluten free person and we all enjoyed the meal. We ordered several things off the menu and share all of them so we could …

It was amazing beyond my wildest imagination. I had the fish and chips and it was incredible. The french fries are perfect. The fish was so crispy and hot and delicious. I can't wait to go back and get onion rings or pizza or anything on the menu because I can eat literally everything on the menu.

Always a lovely experience. Got the Rabachi Wrap subbing the tomatoes for jalapenos and some onion rings. The onion rings are crazy crunchy with super soft onions that don't pull out the whole ring. The wrap was exactly what I needed too. Their homemade sauces are always great, especially the dipping sauce that came with the onion rings. Highly highly …

I’m not even gluten free, but I came with my partner. Aaron was so kind, welcoming, and attentive to allergies and made sure every allergy my partner had was covered. Such a gem of a place and I enjoyed every bit of my meal. Sadly we live in Chicago, but would come back to Grand Rapids just for Papa CHOPS!!!!!

Awesome all gluten free restaurant. The food quality and taste is great, not just for GF, but for any place. Loved the chicken sandwiches, both breaded chicken and grilled. Get the Nashville if you like spicy. Enjoyed great French fries and fried pickles too. The owner is a celiac and has crafted a menu with great flavors and fun options. …
