Service was really good. Don't be concerned that it's a gluten-free restaurant as the food truly satisfies all! And, there have three gluten loaded beer on tap! :)

Service was very friendly. Nice ambience and decor. I ordered the BBQ burger, and it wasn’t very tasty for me. It was dry. It had wagyu and chuck for the beef patty, but I felt like the meat quality was wasted in this burger. I couldn’t taste much of the meat. The fries were super crispy and skinny. Very tasty. When the restaurant gets packed, it can be hard to hear a conversation with friends.

Nice decor and friendly staff. Fish and chips is really good. The spicy chicken bowl is a total disappointment. Salad needs a decent dressing. The chicken cutlet was thin with a little cheese slice on top And then made disgusting with Frank’s hot sauce poured over top and a garnish of cut up pickle slices more suited to a burger Something a hung over teen might throw together

They have a kids menu but no high chairs (?) I have specifically asked for a high chair when I made the reservation and I also mentioned that it was my husband's birthday but it seems like my request was not recognized. The dirnks were good with strong alcohol content, but the food was just mediocre yet pricey. A kid's meal with just a burger and fries would cost you $15 without drinks or desserts.

Lovely evening. Waitress not very friendly until it came to paying the bill. Not appropriately dressed either. Very short skirt and top with no bra on. We were there for lunch the other day and the waiter was a lovely young guy. Very friendly and a great sense of humour. Love the food though.

Cute for a birthday date night, nothing overly special, but you’ll fit in wearing jeans or heels. The tuna tartare is awesome and the bartender makes good Caesar’s. Nice atmosphere and not too busy. Only thing that could have made it better was a birthday dessert 🙈

We both ordered a burger. The bun was very dry and difficult to eat. The burger was also dry but tasted ok. I feel it would have been better if there were more condiments either on the burger or provided as an option. I love my burger with ketchup, mayo, relish and sometimes BBQ sauce but there was only a light amount of what I think was mayo on the bun. Also the onions could have been more plentiful. Pickles and lettuce was great and fresh. The fries were hot which was nice. Honestly if it was for how amazing our server was and the fact that he came out to ask us about our meal we probably wouldn't go back. But because he cared enough to ask and explain that they were looking into getting better buns this is why we will absolutely return to try something else!!

Every time we come here there is something unavailable from their menu. The GF buns on burgers which are one of the only dinner items available, seemed freezer burnt and crumbled everywhere- each person had to eat their burgers/ sandwiches with cutlery. The flavour is consistent mediocre. The calamari is a small portion for the price and pretty greasy, but tastes good. The fries are underwhelming and if you can use an oven or air fryer can make significantly better fries at home. The GF menu is commendable but perhaps takes some trial and error prior to serving to customers as our meals are consistently error and consistently below average. Also, can someone please teach the servers or bartender how to pour? White wine gets warm in glasses without stems. Prosecco needs a flute. I do not want my Prosecco in a tumbler (and I want the last patrons lipstick off my glassware). Would be nice to see local beer on the menu (besides the non alcoholic beers) and the Phillips draft beer was flat. Some of this was brought to our servers attention but no one seemed to care. We keep going back with hopes that they’d get better, but I think our perseverance and disappointment will seal the final deal.

We were there at lunch, not very many other tables. It took an hour to order food, though it came out very quickly once placed. While the food was good, it wasn’t worth the hour wait just to place the order. As a celiac I was excited to try a place that is completely safe but was very disappointed with the lack of service, definitely impacted my opinion of the food. We had poutine and onion rings so nothing completely outrageous - we might have ordered more but didn’t want to wait. The waiter came over quickly after bringing the food to settle the bill due to their shift ending so we opted for that instead of trying another item. It was a quieter, low-light interior. There was a patio as well. As a mention: While not on the restaurant, it was recommended as child friendly but there wasn’t a high chair and if a booth hadn’t been available it wouldn’t have worked with kids who are shorter/unsteady/fidgety.

Found the pricing high for the quality and quanitity. I had the fish and chips, the batter was way to thick for my liking. My wife had the salmon, although tasty, she was expecting a little more sides on the plate. The calamari appy was disappointing. The liquor markup is a tad high thankfully we caught the special that nite , 50% discount on wines, which brought the pricing more in line with what it should cost. Service was attentive and the complimentary dessert for my wife's birthday was very special.

Nice place but if we go back, we would probably try something different on the menu. We each had a burger- they were okay but it was the gluten free buns that killed it for us. They ruined what were probably good burgers. Kudos for creating a 100% gluten free environment for those that are sensitive to gluten but that's not what brought us here- in fact, had we known that- we might not have come and definitely would not have ordered burgers. My wife has a sensitivity to the potato starch in gluten free buns and we only found out about the fact this is a gluten free restaurant after the fact. The menu referred to the bun for the burger as "house bun" and there was no mention this was a gluten free restaurant. Ambiance wise - great decor that speaks of a casual yet classy place. We did find that somebody must REALLY like the bass in their music as a few songs that played in the background made it feel like we were in a night club. It was fine but we laughed when we could feel the bass through the booth we were sitting in as that did not match the pleasant vibe that was intended.

We had lovely food and were able to sit outside. Not too many other patrons on a Friday evening : the service was prompt and Eric was very obliging with giving us more time to choose. My friend with celiac loved that everything on the menu was gluten free and enjoyed the fish and chips immensely. My bowl was very full and I couldn't quite finish. We shared the Hush Puppy dessert between 2, on Eric's recommendation, and he was bang on. It was also delicious. It's a great place in a slightly odd location (attached to a gym), and I really hope the restaurant thrives as it is such a treat for people with celiac!

This restaurant gets a 'A' for food, and 'F' for service. Upon arrival there was no-one there to check our reservation or seat us, I had to go to the kitchen to find someone. We were the only people there, but it took them over 40 minutes to grill 2 burgers, blaming technology for the delay. They claimed that our order did not print in the kitchen, but the person who took it went into the kitchen right afterward? This cost them a free meal for both of us, at their insistence. I dread what the delays would be when it is full, let alone whether you would get any service at all.

It goes to show you can have a good GF menu. Service was good. Food didn't quite keep up. The burgers were tasty. The chicken in both the Bang Bang burger and the chicken tenders was a bit on the tough side - although didn't seem to be overcooked. The poutine was barely warm. Sent it back and it did come out barely warmer. That was disappointing because the flavours were right. I wonder if the gravy wasn't hot enough. The truffle parm fries came out piping hot and excellent. The creme brulee for dessert was stiff and eggy - although not broken. Should have been smooth and creamy. The Hush Puppies were too dense and grainy - although there seemed to be a difference between the two plates. One was lighter than the other. The other one felt like the oil wasn't quite hot enough. Given they were both ordered and delivered simultaneously, that shouldn't have been the case. The menu described them as beignet - which are incredibly light. These were definitely more like savoury corn balls that had cinnamon and sugar added. Cocktails were good. Our bill was adjusted to make up for the poutine, which we appreciated. Overall, I think it was close, but didn't quite hit the mark. It's quite pricy too for basically a burger and fries.

We drove 40 mins from the absolute opposite end of the city to try it out. Super cute atmosphere and the food was soooo good! My one complaint though is it took over an hour to get our food with absolutely no communication why it was taking so long. Waiter didn’t really come around to refill our drinks either in that time. We ended up being there over 2 hours with our kids which was was not the best. Overall I liked it but prob wouldn’t make the drive back again.

Really good restaurant, super friendly staff, great food. If anyone has a gluten allergy this is a great place for them, as they have a lot of things that people crave (onion rings, fish&chils, calamari, hush puppy’s). Lots of amazing drinks, they have a small patio.
