Do not miss! Absolutely amazing experience and so refreshing not having to worry about cross contamination! Wish the owner would open one in the lower mainland.

Fully gluten free menu! It was a great stop on the way to Tofino.

The halibut fish and chips were amazing, light and tasty tempura batter. The code bites were ok, they had a different breading.

Other than a few beers, the whole place is GF! Highly recommend fish and chips, but everything my family had was good too! My non-celiac family thoroughly enjoyed their meals.

Had a really tasty lunch here! Did not get sick, the entire building is gluten free. The server told me that if they bring something with gluten for their lunch, they have to eat it outside! Amazing! Fish and chips, ribs, seafood chowder, brisket...all gluten free and really good. Will be making the 3 hour drive again just to eat here. It's a must if you're in the area!

What a tasty surprise! A dedicated GF restaurant!! The malt vinegar is the only non-gf item, and they keep it safely stored. My whole family gave it 5 stars for flavour, setting and service.

This place was awesome! Friendly, fast service. Food was great! We had fish and chips. The fish batter was so crispy, fries were like home fries. They gave us a lot of food! If ever in the area, try them out! I’d love to come back!

This restaurant rocks!! The server told me that the only gluten in the entire restaurant is the malt vinegar which is only in the eating area, not at all in the kitchen. Customers can use it for their individual fries. All hamburgers are served on GF buns too, no option for gluten buns. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. Great, fun but relaxed ambiance. Highly recommend.
