Found this restaurant through google when looking for gluten free. Had the fish and chips and it was the best fish and chips I have had. They have a separate deep fryer for GF. The staff were great and it was a very busy Friday afternoon in the rain. Great experience all around. Now if they had a location in Calgary, Alberta it would be perfect.😉

We went there today as a table of 5 and we were very excited as we heard very good things about their gluten free menu. No sooner did we order and a mouse ran across the floor below our table! The food came and I’m not sure what kind of meat is used in the egg rolls but they were the worst I’ve ever had. No one at the table ate as the food was not good. Photo attached of what was left due to the poor quality. I do not recommend it for the food! The atmosphere with the fish tanks was great for the kids! They loved watching the fish in the tanks and pond.

Best Smitty’s I have ever been to! The service and food is fantastic. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and they have a specific gluten free menu along with options on the regular menu and have never gotten sick from the food ever!! They use different coloured plates for allergens, it’s very thoughtful.

Fast, gluten free, and very nice employees. Stopped in for a Bangkok Bowl and a Thai curry soup. The bowl was nice - went with half rice/salad option and added chicken. The soup was good. Both dishes were gluten free. I’m in town for a trip and I’ll be going back to this restaurant again, knowing that it’s got GF options. Staff were both really nice to speak to and were happy to talk about the menu and the franchises across the country.

I had been to Side Hustle before twice and had such a lovely experience. So I’m not thrilled to write this. But feel the need to share as I am concerned about what happened to me. I popped into eat some lunch during burger week, and they only had a burger week menu. Really nothing else on it. Which as a small place I guess is expected. I was about to head out, and the server recommended the Thai chilli chicken, and I said I can’t eat really spicy food. I then asked if the gluten free Thai chilli chicken could be made less spicy as it was the ONLY thing on the menu that wasn’t beef, or tofu that could be made gluten free. The server said yes - the kitchen could not add the spicy chili jam to the burger. And I was like great I’ll have that. The burger came out, everything looked good. 3 bites in and I can barely breathe. They included the spicy chili jam, and as someone who can’t do super spicy items I nearly choked in the restaurant. It was quite embarrassing actually, I was coughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face. Made worse by how echoey the bar is itself. The server finally came by after I was coughing for several minutes and I told him there is spicy chili jam on this. He says he will get them to remake it. I had gotten nauseous from coughing so hard I don’t even want to eat more of the food that isn’t spicy (aka the fries I paid extra for)… So I just say no, thanks. You can take it. I had only eaten a handful of fries and a couple bites of the burger. It was pretty bad, I was pretty embarrassed. And I wasn’t even finished my cider before the bill was handed to me. They charged me for 50% of the meal, burger and fries even though I didn’t eat most of it. I likely should have said something to the server however I was already embarrassed from coughing so loudly. I likely will take a second thought before heading back as everything is expensive now, and I’d like to eat what I pay for.

What a great find!! Traveling in Halifax as a family with several food intolerances, we could not have been happier with the Gluten-Free, Vegan, and dairy-free options. Cozy spot, great service, and everything was very tasty. We've been in town two nights and had dinner here twice!

On vaycay from Vancouver B.C. doing the walk about at Pier21 and stopped into The BG. Beautiful location, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Huge beverage menu!! As celiac, it's challenging to find some safe eats away from home. I ordered the gf option Lobster Roll & fries and oh my lord.... fantastic 😋 Thanks for being aware of dietary restrictions for some 🥳 If I'm ever back out this way, will definitely come back.

On September 3rd 2022 (my wedding day) my now sister-in-law went to the Wolfville Farmers Market and brought me back a "Cream Cheese" Blondie. I have Celiac and a serious diary allergy. I ate half the blondie before I started to question if it was safe, i'm use to some gluten free treats being delicious but it was the cheesecake part that tasted TOO GOOD to be true. My SIL phoned Deb to confirm it was dairy + gluten free and of course it was. Not only was the blondie incredible (still thinking about it 18 months later) but Deb was also understanding and helpful. This treat was a wonderful way to start one of the best days of my life. Can't wait to have another blondie and try more treats on my next trip back home to Nova Scotia.
