Saw them on *you gotta eat here* and the meatloaf was truly out of this world. Gluten free waffles were great too ... and holy smokes the endless coffee
We had a wonderful experience thanks to our server, Erin. She was incredibly kind and friendly, making us feel right at home. Erin went out of her way to ensure we had celiac-friendly options, demonstrating genuine care for our dietary needs. Her attentiveness and warm demeanor truly made our visit special. We left feeling valued and well taken care of!
While it was great they had gluten free waffle options, you only get 1 Belgium waffle and if you’re hungry, it won’t be enough. An order of thick cut bacon on the side helped fill the void. Oat milk for our coffees was nice, and the coffee cup sizes are kind of small given the $5 charge. Overall, it was decent - it was a breakfast start to a busy morning - but we’d likely go elsewhere for more value and larger portions.
Paid 16 dollars (as I gave 2 dollar tip) for some good tasting chicken soup. I was disappointed to see there were only like 3 tiny pieces of chicken in the soup. Also for folks who don’t want bread, maybe provide a gluten free option or reduce the overall price of the meal. The servers were very kind and the soup tasted good but for the price point not so much!
Great celiac safe barbecue place! Everything is GF except waffles and regular buns, but they take precautions to keep celiac customers safe (changing gloves, etc). They have fantastic fried chicken which is GF, fried only with fries (also GF), and the regular bbq things. Great sandwiches, poutine, and fried chicken!
Surprisingly better than I expected! Especially as a local, I usually avoid tourists traps.
The Avo. Club is great! Real chicken, large pieces of bacon, Roma tomato, fresh greens, cibatta was soft n fresh too.
GF bun for Celiac folks.
Great view of Vic on the patio.
First time trying Spoons Diner, and wow! Worth the long line, and I will definitely be coming back here. I love a retro-style diner, and the food was delicious! Their gluten free english muffin was so tasty that it was suspicious. I have a gluten sensitivity and did not have any reactions from anything I ate, despite the risk of cross contamination. I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast.
Went for the first time and loved it. It’s cluttered but cozy and all the employees were very nice and helpful. We sat in the diner and were served by a girl with green and black hair who was very kind and helpful, especially with diet restrictions. I had a gluten free club sandwich which was good and their almond based cookies were super delicious! Overall, recommended for their quick service and friendly employees.
I was hesitant to believe that any place with 5.0 stars was legit — but they are.
It’s all takeout — it looks like they just borrow a kitchen from a local community center and you order online and pick up through a side door. Nothing fancy about this place.
But the owner who took my order was cheerful, enthusiastic and answered all questions and knew exactly what was gluten-free and what wasn’t.
We ordered a lamb shank, baba ganoush and falafel and everything was ready in ten minutes.
My husband “hates lamb,” so when I got it home and he dug in, said “this beef is excellent,” and asked what cut it was, he was pretty surprised to find out that he actually really likes lamb when it’s done right!
This place is new so eventually they’ll get a rating under 5 stars from somewhere, but for now, their record stands!
Celiac friendly
