This place is awesome and celiac friendly! My family is visiting from Ontario and have visited twice in 4 days. Menu has GF options listed, and staff were knowledgable, friendly, and very patient. Our lovely server double checked with the kitchen as to safe options, and was super understanding and accommodating. There is a separate fryer, and the fries are homemade and very fresh :) I was told the gravy has traces of gluten, so I could not order a poutine, however I was able to order a delicious turkey club on GF bread (separate toaster) the first time we came, and a Reuben sandwich with fries the second time we came. Also, I had a corned beef and cabbage soup. All fresh and delicious, and would recommend to anyone!

Vernon's is Great! It's our go-to place for lunch whenever we're in the area. Several items on the menu can be made gluten-free, and it's well marked on the menu. They also have gluten-free Buns, so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten-free. There's even a dedicated fryer, so I routinely get fries there. The servers are knowledgeable and I've never had any issues.
