Papa Chops Eatery

Papa Chops Eatery Fantastic burgers, wraps, pizzas, and more. Always Gluten-Free, Always Delicious

Located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Papa Chops Eatery is a pioneering "safe haven" for the gluten-free community. It holds the distinction of being the city's first entirely gluten-free fast-food restaurant, offering a menu where every single item—from the breading on the chicken to the dough of the pizza—is safe for those with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. The Origin Story
The eatery was

founded by Aaron Muller, whose life changed two weeks before his 40th birthday when he was diagnosed with Celiac disease. Frustrated by the difficulty of finding safe, high-quality dining options for his family, Muller decided to take matters into his own hands. He enrolled at the Grand Rapids Secchia Institute for Culinary Arts to master the craft of gluten-free cooking, eventually opening Papa Chops in June 2022 to recreate the "normal" fast-food experience he missed.

Restocking! However getting basic things like flour are far from basic(as you know). Bob's Red Mill is apparently redoing their brand and so there has been supply disruption. We are seeing it on our end... so we have to get innovative. Good thing innovation is PC's middle name!

Good morning PC Fam!

Had an amazing weekend thanks to you =]

Today I'll be replenishing some of our items we ran out of. Today I don't have Onion Rings or Fried pickles. I will have them back in tomorrow though!

This is largely due to the past few weeks many of our suppliers have been out of the products I use like flour which should be arriving today!

Corndog ALERT

Holy Cow Grand Rapids!

You showed up in a big way today and we're only at 2pm! You ate all the corndogs I made which was over 300! Last year I made about 200 and had left overs

I'll make them again but I wanted to let you know so I don't break your heart when you get here.

🌞🎉 Tomorrow’s the Big Day!
We had a little mix‑up with Hall, so guess who’s rolling up their sleeves to bake? Yep—me.
It’s a dairy‑free citrus vanilla cake dusted with powdered sugar. I’m not brave enough to make it egg‑free, but hey—it's smelling amazing already.

The real headliner? Our gluten‑free corn dogs!
Chef Hezzy’s been hand‑crafting every single one like a legend. They’re crispy, golden, and ready to steal the show.

Forecast says sunshine, so we’re bringing the fun outside—games, laughs, and good vibes all day long.
Come hungry, come happy, and let’s celebrate four years of feeling good! 💛💚

See you Saturday! Share this, and let's have some fun =)

From Papa with Love!

Huge thank you to Miss Naomi, after years of making killer sauces and bringing smiles to customers, she moves onto bigger and better things! Naomi was an amazing employee, and is now a chef in her hometown of Rockford. So please join me in wishing her a wonderful first week!

This Sunday PC turns 4! Since we are closed on Sunday's we are going to celebrate this Saturday (6th). Hall Street Bakery is making us some amazing bites to pass out. Chef Hezzy is preparing our corn dogs. Bring Back Analog is going to hook us up with some outdoor tunes.

Happy Monday and don't forget, the Mushroom Swiss is now available. Which also means you can get mushrooms on your pizza's now too!

Big week ahead at Papa Chops with two major milestones on deck!
​This Saturday, I’m hitting a fresh 47 years young, and I’m busy in the kitchen making a batch of my favorite cookies to share with everyone who comes in.
​On top of that, next week marks 4 incredible years of Papa Chops! We’ve spent the last four years serving thousands of Celiacs, allergy-conscious folks, and everyday food lovers who want a meal they can actually trust.
​Thank you for an amazing four years, Grand Rapids. Come grab some food and celebrate with us!
