Best Gluten Free fish and chips!

Awesome Gluten Free options, the Poke bowl was the best I've ever had. Great food, great service, better view.

Spending a weekend in Campbell river and needed to find a good restaurant that also had gluten-free options. This was an unexpected gem with an unassuming shopfront on the highway, but once we went inside it was a warm and welcoming place with a lot of charm. The food was extremely fresh and lots of choice for our gluten-free companion - dishes that were naturally gluten-free and those that could be made gluten-free on request. Our server was very friendly and helpful and our food delicious - extremely large pizzas, so unless you are hungry, one will easily feed two people!

Pearl was very knowledgeable about the gluten free options for Celiac, and was friendly and cheerful and helpful.

For a change, we can both get the cuisine of our choice without having to compromise. We had Asian: Stir Fry Vegetable with rice instead of egg noodles, and Western: BBQ Chicken Sandwich with house salad. They kept to their promise of local and fresh: the House Salad was very fresh, with different kinds of vegetables including purple cabbage, instead of the usual imported box of mixed organic greens. The stir fry was obviously made from scratch, with cauliflower, broccoli, bell peppers, jicama, siu-choy, snap peas, onions, and carrots. We liked it so much we cancelled our dinner reservation elsewhere and came back the next night. Although the stir fry was just as good, I regretted ordering the chicken wings as it was battered with gluten and gave me indigestion. The french fries from the fish and chips were not cut from real potato fries, nothing like New York fries.

Waited to be seated for a long time. Then stuffed 5 of us into a small booth. Threw menus down on the table and didn't return for a long time. Once the meals were brought out, my wife ordered a gluten-free bun on her burger (allergy) and received a regular bun. Family waited for me in the vehicle because it took so long to get the bill. It was not even busy in the restaurant. I'm not impressed with this location.

We went to riptide last week and our server didn’t know what celiac was and said the fries were gluten free but they were in the same fryer as gluten food. When I didn’t tip her because I got gluten in my meal as a celiac, she acted like a child and chucked the card machine at my friends and didn’t talk to us.

What an unexpected and lovely treat it was to find this shop! Had a beautiful latte and an amazing piece of cheesecake - REAL cheesecake! And it was gluten free! Hoping to stop by again next time I’m in Campbell River.

It's great for a night out with live music, the shuffle board and pool table, but service isn't the greatest and there are no celiac-friendly options. When we asked the server what was gluten free she replied "you tell me". It was for a work function so we had a fee different things to consider. I clarified my comment due to owners reply.

Great local brewery with a changing small batch on a Tuesday and lovely food. Service is good and they have a pretty varied selection of beer. The nitro addition to a few beers is fantastic and not seen in many places, they even have a selection of gluten free beer. Baby friendly with a good baby change on site

I had a cappuccino, which tasted lovely. They explained the different types of shots they put in each size so I could choose accordingly. I asked about the number of shots of coffee in each size, and they were great to explain the different types they make as standard. I was there around 1pm, and they had sold out of gluten-free sandwiches, but there were still a few salads available. Ample seating inside and out, with umbrellas for some sun protection.

I felt the need to leave a review as the last ones were quite old. They have a new manager and a new chef in the past year and have been making great efforts in improving their service and staff knowledge. No dedicated GF fryer, but given the nature of the food being mostly Mexican inspired, there are quite a few items that can be modified to suit and the kitchen will make accommodations to avoid cross contamination. I love the fajitas and you can request corn tortillas instead of the flour ones. It’s one of the top 3 places in town I enjoy dining out that actually has some decent GF options!
