If I could give 100 stars I would! If you’re gluten free, this is the place to be 🙏 Nickel’s has a dedicated fryer that they use- so no cross contamination-, all of their bbq sauces are GF, and our server said most of the menu can be made gluten free. An absolute dream for someone with celiac. And a huge shoutout to Abby, our server, who was extremely knowledgeable about gf options, attentive, friendly and quick with service! If you’re in the area, this is a must visit.

After waiting 45 minutes for a gluten free bagel they said they didn’t have any left, and just gave me toast with cream cheese, didn’t offer a refund or anything for the inconvenience or lack of communication on what they had available. What a joke

We stopped in with 9 people for lunch. It’s so cute and has a beautiful view. Sierra was very attentive and great at taking care of all the kids. All the food was tasty and they had lots of great gluten free options for our two who can’t have gluten.

I really enjoyed the music of Jesse Sprinkles who played here and their Jambalaya. Also the Niagara wine is so sweet and good. The server was right when he described this as juice with alcohol. My Fiancée did not find the bbq pulled pork anything to write home about and found it too rich for his pallet. I'm on a gluten free diet and found my meal terrific. It is nice and spicy and hot and oddly has mussels in it. I'm not keen on the mussles as the flavour is a little bit much for this dish but the dish itself was outstanding. I was not use to a jambalaya with mussels but I'm all for a new twist to an old dish. The service was very good although the bartender was slow and I wondered if she shouldn't be a little better with her wait staff as they are serving meals. Someone who has wine to accompany their meal should not have to pause in the middle of eating to wait for their beverage. Watching our great waiter it was clear the bartender was not servicing his tables in an orderly manner. This is a MGR issue and should be taken up in staff meetings. All in all the gentleman playing music totally made this an amazing night for my liking. His voice and music were outstanding and his band is named the handsome young ladies. This man had the most incredible sense of percussive rhythm and and ability to make his stylistic interpretation work tremendously well with his vocal colour and range. I enjoyed my meal the great wine and really appreciate Jessies music and his last song By Sade smooth operator when I was leaving.
