I can't tell you how the food is: that's because this business discriminates against the disabled so I didn't get to try the food. **Multiple** employees told (not asked, told) me to leave because I had my medical alert dog with me. When I answered by informing them she is a working service animal protected by the ADA, I was laughed and sneered at. (She is a Belgian Malinois trained for diabetic alert. She is absolutely a service dog, and she was not being at all disruptive; this is not a gray area.)
Every employee - yes, as my dog and I stood there minding our business and bothering no one, **multiple** employees singled me out - recited the same script word for word at me, in the same nasty condescending tone, telling me that my disability and I were not welcome. Every employee recited the same discriminatory script, which makes me think the business purposely trains staff to target, bully, and harass disabled customers.
I didn't need that kind of harassment in my life so we left. I have never before been so mistreated because of my disability and this business should be ashamed of themselves. They bullied and shamed me repeatedly, in violation of federal access law, for no reason whatsoever. Just absolutely appalling. I have filed a formal ADA complaint because of how I was treated.
If you prefer businesses that don't discriminate against the disabled, however, The Shop is right up the street and is kind and welcoming to all. Including those with disabilities. They have wonderful baked goods and they don't discriminate. After the harassment we received at the Grain Shed, it was a relief that my friend and service animal and I were able to enjoy our morning free of bullying at the Shop. I suggest you go to the Shop not the Shed.
