The Planet Diner

This place has been on my list to try. Recently been diagnosed with Celiac. The first question the server asked was if anyone had any allergies and she was very knowledgeable about it. They have a celiac safe deep fryer so I was able to enjoy the french fries and the pulled pork on a gluten free bun was delicious. Definitely will be on my safe restaurant list. Thanks!

Great lunch here today. I had pulled pork on the best GF bun and great fries from a dedicated gf fryer. They had a large number of options. The menu had so many gf items that they only marked what was NOT gluten free! 😊 Nice little diner atmosphere and fun music from years passed! There is a small patio but we chose to eat inside. Service was good and food was great!

Our go-to spot when we stopped in Stratford on our way to and from Montreal on our honeymoon, during which I didn't get glutened once. Good gluten-free and vegetarian options, friendly staff!

NOT GLUTEN FREE. I felt so confident here because the menu looked so safe and the staff seemed like they knew what they were talking about. I have never been so glutened in my entire life. I think they just gave me a regular bun with my burger. I spent the entire evening being violently sick in the bathroom of the theatre while my friends enjoyed the play - a truly awful experience. If you’re celiac stay far far away from this place.

I had a beef burger and my daughter had the BLT. The GF buns were delishes. They have a brand new separated frier so we had fries as well. Great service, great food. Thankful to this app for finding this diner while visiting Stratford from B.C.

My go-to comfort place. The owner is very aware and careful with cross-contamination and has gf options for most things on their menu (except their donuts but I'll keep bugging about that). Dedicated fryer and safe gravy for their vegan poutine! This mostly vegan restaurant offers a few meat options too. Prices are a bit on the high side for me but confidence is worth it.

A gluten free dream!! Amazing, flavorful food (most of which is gluten free or can be made gluten free), super friendly staff, cool funky decor. Awesome place.

Super menu; nearly everything is gluten free, most of it vegan. We're not vegan but we avoid dairy, so it was perfect. Cashew ice cream was amazing.
