We were driving through Rowley from Maine and decided I was hungry. We stopped at Philippe’s and I was reluctant as I am gluten intolerant and said to my bf- there’s no way a small shop like this is going to have anything gluten free, besides a salad. He said I’ll go in and check. He came out, to my surprise and said they have 3 gf bread options!

The food was terrible, I got a steak bomb that was so dry that I took one bite, spit it out and threw it away. (The beef was also GREEN! 🤮) Ate some chicken from there and now I’ve been stuck puking my brains out with food poisoning....
