BEST FRIES IN NEWMARKET. They have a great lunch deal, $15 for a burger, side and pop. The burger was 4oz I believe, but it was the right size for a filling lunch. Their fries are bottomless, and I could not get enough of them. Crispy and salty, but still very potatoey. Our waitress let us know they’re fried in a dedicated fryer, and are cut in house. Their gluten free bun wasn’t my favourite, and fell apart a little, but $1.50 up charge wasn’t the best. They serve the pop in measuring cups, which was neat, and very fizzy. I highly recommend stopping by. The onion rings are very crispy, an extra $4 and not gluten free, but you can hear a very audible crunch.

The server was very knowledgeable about celiac and was able to ensure me about their gluten free food. My burger and fries (they use a separate fryer for the fries) were awesome, the gravy was also gluten free.

Visited twice since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease March and April 2023. The server (may have been the owner) was amazing and is educated on Celiac and cross-contact. Burgers with gluten free bun and Sweet Potato Fries also had a ceaser salad with no croutons. Dedicated gf fryer.

Note: they order GF buns in bulk frozen and individually packaged, you can buy some to take home!

Amazing Burgers. Offers Beef/Chicken/Veggie/Impossible Patty. They have a dedicated Gluten Free Fryer for French Fries, Sweet Potato Fries and Die Cut Chips and they offer a gluten free bun.

No longer has a dedicated fryer or toaster for buns. Was super disappointed at the lack of knowledge of cross contamination for a restaurant who indicates gluten friendly.

I ate here a year ago and was excited by their gluten free menu. I also tried a gluten free beer, Daura Damm, that was recommended to me by the server. I was very clear I was celiac and that cross contamination mattered to me. Unfortunately, I got sick from this and threw everything up after finishing my meal. I commented to the server - as I noticed the bottle of Daura Damm said "low gluten" and not gluten free (too late I already drank some) They said it's a gluten friendly menu and not necessarily completely gluten free. I explained to them how dangerous it was to do this and they need to make sure their gluten free offerings were actually gluten free as people can get very sick. I had to push for them to offer me a refund - they only took the beer off my bill but not the burger even though I got sick because of their incompetence.

From other reviews it looks like maybe they improved. However, be wary when you go here. The burger I had was also sub par in flavour/quality. Would never go back.

The gluten free items (tons!!) are listed right on the menu. Lots of choices for sides, toppings, meats. And they gluten free buns for the burgers. I always get Elk. They can do the spinach dip gf, so you can even have an appetizer!!
