Celiac Review - this place was great! The food was delicious, the service was wonderful. Everything was very prompt. Our server Matthew was awesome! Three of us went, it's my second time dining out since my Celiac diagnosis and I was nervous, however, they went the extra mile to ensure everything was safe! I had the red thai curry with deep fried tofu, fried in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and the London fog crème brulée for dessert. It was all very delicious. Huge thanks to Matthew and management for the wonderful service and for ensuring that I felt secure with the dining experience.

I LOVE Oldhand! The owners and staff are so lovely. Oldhand has my favourite chai of anywhere in Abbotsford, you can get delicious and fresh lunch options, and the cafe has such a cozy atmosphere to linger for awhile. Sometimes the breakfast cookie (gluten-free, vegan, & delicious!) is still warm when I get it, and other times it does not taste very fresh and leaves a bit to be desired. I wish there was more consistency with this. Other than that, Oldhand truly is an Abbotsford staple. Great vibes, lovely food & beverage offerings, and stellar humans who make you feel welcome. Cheers!

Great gluten free options, they even brought gluten free garlic bread before the meal. I don’t believe I’ve ever been accommodated like this before. Great experience.

The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable about my celiac gluten allergy. She went above and beyond to help make sure I ordered the right dishes. She made sure we were taken care of and I appreciated that.

Best pizza store in Abbotsford I had ever visited. I ordered gluten free pizza and the taste and toppings were great. Must visit guys!

This is the best Boardwalk in Abby! They always load up my veggie burger with lots of super-fresh toppings and it's very tasty. The staff here are really friendly and professional. However, I have to stop eating wheat/gluten, so I can no longer eat the veggie burger :( and the beyond burger is too high in sodium for me. I'm hoping you guys can start making a gluten-free organic veggie burger so I can come back! Sincerely, the gal with the blue car. :)

Unfortunately this is the last time I will ever go to Bow and Stern not only did I receive horrendous service, but my grandmother was berated and talked down to, was over talked and treated as if she was stupid, and I was heavily lied to, to my face. The server was a male, I'm not sure his name, I asked him the gf options and recalled to ask if they are celiac safe, was told they are, have a small section of the kitchen for gf options, and went to ask the chef of the few dishes I could have. So I came in the next day for lunch and it was awful. The server had zero idea what gf (gluten free) was, kept telling me I'm wrong and yes bleached white flour IS gf, I'm just making a problem... (also no, bleached white flour is not gf, in ANY TYPE of regard). He then said nothing is gf and to stop asking for attention for a fake illness and just pick something. I was beyond disgusted, I still tried to be nice and asked if he could ask another server or the chef what I CAN eat, because all the options I was told was apparently not real options.... so he came back 30 mins later after i had to hound him down, he rolled his eyes and said a few options FULL of gluten, or a plain green small salad no dressing, i could habe a lemon... we left but not before he was awful to my grandma who has been with me before there and have eaten there, with no problems. Apparently they no longer offer gf fish and chips, gf torilla chips for dip, gf salads!?!? Like huh... or anything else. They don't have a section safe for gf and as he said, "lady we really dont care about your so called allergies, or any of them, we lie, we make enough from both locations, ive been here long enough" he rolled his eyes and he walked away. My grandma was in shock and even she refuses to go back and she would go once a week at least with friends.... this might be just this server, but I'm in disbelief. I wasn't going to make a review but 2 to 3 nights ago my friend went who is gf as well, doctor diagnosed, it's been super hard for her, she was told items were gf and they were not. She spent two straight days throwing up blood, and issues. This is literally hurting people, so I came here to put my experience from 3 ish weeks ago and my friends 2 to 3 days ago. IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES, DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!!!!! Please do better or train your staff. I will not be back or will ever recommend here to anyone, I'm beyond thrown off from this and after speaking to some family, friends, and co workers, this location has really gone to the dogs. I'm not the only one. No one with allergies should ever have to deal with this, I did my work and called before hand, asked questions to be answered by the chef, asked what I need to say for gf, etc... Dont offer gf, vegan, or vegetarian dishes if you can't make sure you can honor the allergies. This is so unsafe, and someone can literal end up in a hospital. Please do better.

Shar did an amazing job we had a large family group, she attended us very well, the service was fast and all of our orders were accurate, even with special concerns for gluten and allergies. Thanks for the great experience on my grandmothers memorial service day

Impressed by their gluten free collection. I will definitely be back and will recommend hard shell tacos with queso and guac.

Ordered specifically because they said they take precaution for gluten allergy (celiac). Both bowls had the same noodles, only one bowl had a label and it was for ribbon noodles (not gluten free), packed in same bag. Called the restaurant and they said over and over again, “it should be fine” and “it should be okay”. This is totally unprofessional for food service allergy standards and instills no confidence in their care and respect for those with allergies. If you have any allergy, I would avoid this place at all costs after this experience. They showed no care or concern for gluten allergy and when issue brought to attention, said “it should be fine”. I suspect they would do the same with other allergies so be aware. The only professional and caring response in this situation would be offering to fix it immediately, committing to making it right, and demonstrating they have the knowledge about food allergies. However, the response “it should be fine” shows a lack of knowledge, understanding, and care.
