Love this place for delicious rotisserie chicken and yummy ribs. Must try is their version of poutine. Most items are gf, they are very aware of cc. Amazing gf dessert options.

had chicken wings which were great! along with quarter rack of ribs and quarter chicken, options of white or dark meats. overall meats tender, flavours of meats and sides are on the milder side. easy comfort food, larger servings. waitress said all drinks on menu at this time were gf. had a maple bourbon and apple cider. goes down smooth.

I've been there MANY times ever since I was diagnosed. Always great, whether I'm having chicken, ribs or poutine. Never had any reaction due to cross contamination. Definitely my go to place in Ottawa. Make sure you try their chipotle sauce, so great on the rotisserie chicken!

Super tasty barbecue chicken and various sides at a good price...what could be better than that?! Much menu is available gluten free (including desserts)and the online order system makes ordering.GF for takeout a breeze. When we arrived to pick up the order, the staff confirmed that everything that we had ordered was GF and confirmed it again when the food was ready ( we arrived a few minutes early). Chicken was great and the GF cheesecake was superb.Staff are very friendly.

Saved the place in my favorites. A must go for GF chicken, ribs, fries, salads and more. Celiac safe.

Chicken was a little dry, so was the waitress, but overall a good spot for a quick lunch. Fries are crispy and delicious - dedicated fryer. Lots of GF options.

My husband and I have eaten here twice now and enjoyed our food. I didn’t get sick either time. They are very accommodating and understand the importance of avoiding cross contamination.

Owners very careful, half the menu is gluten free. Very satisfied! Been here a few times.

It gets busy here during peak times and on GCTC show nights so if that bothers you go early. This is a family owned business and the staff is warm and the food is delicious. Try the cheesecake!

Exceptional service! My waiter, who I think was the manger, was super knowledgable. Lots of items, got the ribs, which were amazing! Also splurged and got the cheesecake which was out of this world. Crust was made with nuts so was 100% GF. Would most definitely return!
