I had been to Side Hustle before twice and had such a lovely experience. So I’m not thrilled to write this. But feel the need to share as I am concerned about what happened to me. I popped into eat some lunch during burger week, and they only had a burger week menu. Really nothing else on it. Which as a small place I guess is expected. I was about to head out, and the server recommended the Thai chilli chicken, and I said I can’t eat really spicy food. I then asked if the gluten free Thai chilli chicken could be made less spicy as it was the ONLY thing on the menu that wasn’t beef, or tofu that could be made gluten free. The server said yes - the kitchen could not add the spicy chili jam to the burger. And I was like great I’ll have that. The burger came out, everything looked good. 3 bites in and I can barely breathe. They included the spicy chili jam, and as someone who can’t do super spicy items I nearly choked in the restaurant. It was quite embarrassing actually, I was coughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face. Made worse by how echoey the bar is itself. The server finally came by after I was coughing for several minutes and I told him there is spicy chili jam on this. He says he will get them to remake it. I had gotten nauseous from coughing so hard I don’t even want to eat more of the food that isn’t spicy (aka the fries I paid extra for)… So I just say no, thanks. You can take it. I had only eaten a handful of fries and a couple bites of the burger. It was pretty bad, I was pretty embarrassed. And I wasn’t even finished my cider before the bill was handed to me. They charged me for 50% of the meal, burger and fries even though I didn’t eat most of it. I likely should have said something to the server however I was already embarrassed from coughing so loudly. I likely will take a second thought before heading back as everything is expensive now, and I’d like to eat what I pay for.

I absolutely love the crobster roll from the Canteen. The seafood tastes really fresh and every time I've been there, the servers have been friendly and nice. I've ordered the crobster roll both with the regular bread and the gluten free bun - and I feel like less seafood is given in the gluten free bun (it's a hamburger bun instead of bread slice). Overall, I'd love to come back next time I'm in Dartmouth and I would advise making a reservation beforehand as it's usually quite busy.

The constantly rotating tap makes it worth coming back over and over for great local beer. Only thing that can make the beer better is the burgers to go with! Their gluten free buns are actually good, too.

The signature haddock dish was absolutely perfect, would highly recommend. The server was very attentive and gave great recommendations, hence the haddock. They accommodated and made a gluten free version of the haddock for my grandmother who is celiac. Lots of tasty cocktails and beer as well.
