Review


June 18, 2023- My wife and I came across this restaurant through this app. The previous reviews looked amazingly positive, but were understated. This place is the REAL DEAL. Food was absolutely delicious and completely safe for a very sensitive celiac sufferer to eat without fretting. They have a four page GF menu that includes appetizers, mac-n-cheeses, sandwiches, salad, and entrées. They have a dedicated GF fryer. Our server was fantastic. She was knowledgeable about gluten and told us their detailed precautions including that the entire staff was required to wash hands and/or change gloves prior to even touching any of the allergy meals. Our server took our orders and after a bit, she asked if I'd like to speak with the owner/chef. This guy gets GF cooking. Although he does not have a gluten issue, he completely understands the care and precautions necessary to make Celiac-safe food.

My order consisted of the pepper jelly chicken wings for an appetizer, the HOME burger with GF fries, a side salad, and a chocolate cake for dessert. The food was really delightful. The burger was a real meat patty made with care and not some frozen Sysco burger patty like other places. The pepper jelly wings were unique and worth trying as part of any order. Their menu also contained several GF beer selections and GF ciders. The next time that I eat here, I'm going for the Gnocchi poutine. The entire staff highly recommended this as well.

Although, I'll post photos of their current menu, this link below takes you to their 'live' menu. Check out their GF 'GLOSSARY' at the bottom of page 1. This shows the attention and care that they take with gluten allergies. I'll also post images of my meal.
