David Alexander

Amazing chicken sandwich and gluten free which is fantastic! Will definitely be back.

Joel Tanner

Saw them on *you gotta eat here* and the meatloaf was truly out of this world. Gluten free waffles were great too ... and holy smokes the endless coffee

Chris Barron

Amazing for gluten free / coeliac. All tacos GF and no concerns about being able to cater safely. Delicious tacos!

Teale D

Great all around. We came here as we had a celiac in the group and almost everything on the menu was gf. Everything was delicious, big menu, great desserts, and our server was very nice.

Gail Bailey

Absolutely delicious and so many gluten free choices!!

I love this store in Kelowna on Cooper rd. Best service and excellent food. Also have celiac options. ❤️❤️

Amanda Redpath

BEST gluten free bread I’ve ever had! It was a soft, fluffy focaccia and as a celiac, I actually had to double check with the server that it was GF. We stopped here for happy hour before meeting friends for dinner and I am so glad we did! The staff accommodated our large group on the patio with ease, drinks were great and the food was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Tammy Vandamme

Awesome...first time having gluten free fried chicken in many years

Melanie Mitton

Red Robins, Kamloops has the best gluten free buns of any burger place I have been to. I never feel deprived for having food sensitivities at this restaurant. We also recently had part of our daughters birthday party here and Jordanne (server) and Nyree (Manager) were so accommodating. The kids menu has so much choice, the bottomless drinks are a hit, and the hot cookie to go always makes the visit for my kids. Thank you for such a great visit.

Incredible breakfast, especially for a gluten free meal

We had a wonderful experience thanks to our server, Erin. She was incredibly kind and friendly, making us feel right at home. Erin went out of her way to ensure we had celiac-friendly options, demonstrating genuine care for our dietary needs. Her attentiveness and warm demeanor truly made our visit special. We left feeling valued and well taken care of!

Lorin Smith

The best gf bun I’ve ever had! 9 years celiac here! Great bbq, awesome service!

Jess Gunn

Delicious food and coffee, we had breakfast here and I am celiac and our server was very knowledgeable about what gluten free options were available to substitute and when he wasn't sure he quickly checked with the kitchen which I really appreciate. I had the granola and yoghurt fruit bowl which was delicious and I didn't get sick! It took awhile to get our food but it was worth the wait! I would come back & reccomend!

Abi Woodbury

Always so nice and have amazing gluten free options that actually taste amazing :)

Amu served us at Indian Affair, and they have incredible gluten-free options! The butter chicken dish was fantastic, The service was exceptional, making the experience even better.

Chris Kennedy

While it was great they had gluten free waffle options, you only get 1 Belgium waffle and if you’re hungry, it won’t be enough. An order of thick cut bacon on the side helped fill the void. Oat milk for our coffees was nice, and the coffee cup sizes are kind of small given the $5 charge. Overall, it was decent - it was a breakfast start to a busy morning - but we’d likely go elsewhere for more value and larger portions.

Morgan Sevareid-Bocknek

The best! Had amazing gluten free options and staff were exceptionally knowledgeable about allergies. The food was great, the restaurant was *spotless* and staff were so fast and awesome!

Lots of gluten-free options. Great Bennies with actual gluten-free english muffins. Friendly service, kid friendly, cozy atmosphere, good portions.

Have been missing Red Robins since they closed all their Alberta locations! If you have any food restrictions, don't look at their allergen menu online, just ask your server. I have celiac and it was showing almost everything to have gluten, even the beef burger patties. Luckily that was not the actual case! Server was knowledgeable about what sauces and ingredients had gluten, and shared that fries can be made in a dedicated gluten free fryer. My meal also came out with the purple allergen stick. I do however have to take stars off for the physical aspects of the location...menu had several sticky spots, carpet looked filthy and sticky, bathroom floors were even stickier! Very unappealing and makes you wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. We were in a booth and the back of the seat would move from both sides, uncomfortable when people are sitting on both sides and it kept moving! Service was also quite slow, especially considering it was lunchtime on a weekday and there were not many other customers present

refillable fries. good burger. might be a bit of wait during dinner time but such a good atmosphere to hang around with friends! reasonable pricing, very full bill was $23 ish (before tips) for a burger & a side (i picked fries)! there are options for gluten free as well 🫶🏻🍟

Allison Pellegrini

This is a classic lunch stop in Kelowna. Crystal and her team are fantastic. She remembers my name and I go months without seeing her. They have alternating soups of the day. They also offer soup flights. She usually serves 4 types of soup and a sandwich feature and a lunch special. I love the veggie sandwich. She also has a lot of options for dietary restrictions and many gluten free options. It’s a nice warm place to feel important and have the most delicious lunch. Be sure to try her classic hobo soup. You can also purchase large format soups to go that are frozen to be enjoyed at home. Great value and comfort food!

SR M

The vibe and service are great, so is the food! Ordered gf pizza, mango coconut drink, raspberry drink, Parmesan fries, and crème brûlée 🍮 loved it all! Hayley is excellent!! She advised me with deciding from the happy hour menu, and dessert as I have gluten allergy. She is pleasant, attentive professional with a smile, courteous, and made my experience of meeting a friend after a long time so enjoyable 🤗 Good luck Hayley! 🎊

Andrea Schartner

The food and the service was fantastic. Most items are gluten free, and if you ask, the owner is very clear about which items are not gf or are fried with non gf items. Really great experience. I will definitely be back!

Charlotte Douglas

Had an amazing experience at Earls Grandview on Thursday night! Our server, Hayley, was fantastic—attentive and friendly. Austin, the guest experience manager on duty, went above and beyond by comping two desserts when they found out we were celebrating something. The food was incredible—steak frites were better than The Keg, and the sushi tacos and pizzas were delicious. The new plant based burger (perfect for my vegan husband) was much better than the processed impossible burger they used to have. (Good job on the switch Earls!!!). They also had great gluten-aware options, which was perfect for my daughter who was recently diagnosed with gluten intolerance, and myself who has a GF prefercence. The mocktails were refreshing and creative and the prosecco was delicious. Outstanding service and food—we’ll definitely be back!

Melissa L

I am celiac and was very well taken care of! The gentleman serving me was careful to change gloves and knew exactly which items contained gluten / which were safe for me. I enjoyed the meal and didn’t get cross contaminated!!

Anand Ausare

Impressed Beyond Expectations! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've visited this place a couple of times before writing this review, and I must say — I'm genuinely amazed by their gluten-friendly options! As someone who needs to be cautious, I was reassured by the level of care and attention the staff gives to dietary restrictions. No allergic reactions, no worries — they take it seriously and it shows. The employees follow all the right precautions, and it's clear they’re well-trained when it comes to handling allergies. It's rare to find a place that combines great food with genuine concern for customer safety. Beyond that, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and just makes you want to stay a little longer. Friendly vibes, clean space, and top-notch management — they've got it all covered. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious food with peace of mind!

Emerald Horne

Great brunch spot! Like most places in Victoria, it is very busy around brunch times on the weekend but not unreasonable wait times. the eggs benny was very good, and the hashbrowns are the best! They cater well to gluten free, and I was able to get my eggs Benny on hashbrowns rather than toast.

Darren L

A great breakfast or brunch spot with a lot of Americana and Canadiana on every inch of the walls! I really enjoy their Eggs Rancheros or Eggs Mexicana. Try their in-house hot sauce with your food (which you can also buy). For you gluten free people, you can sub in gluten free toast for an extra charge and it's actually better than the regular toast!

Mike Panian

Farmstrong is probably the premier eating experience in the North Okanagan. They do things their way! The dining is either outside or inside a large timber frame barn. The dining is seasonal owing to the fact that the dining areas are not insulated. Don't fret though. There are giant space heaters suspended above as well as blankets! The food is simple but great and the portions are large. I left pleasantly full each time I ate there. The brisket is really tasty. The hamburger is the best in the valley. I haven't tried the pizza but it looks great. I indulged in a cheesecake for dessert and my colleague had a gluten free chocolate cake. My cheesecake was fair... Nicely plated but I have had some really incredible cheesecake... The cake was huge and rich. Check out this cidery and restaurant!

Robin Wlodarczyk

As someone with celiac, I'm often leary of my first experience at a new restaurant. I was very pleased with how accommodating the staff was. They were very careful to make sure my food was safe for me. Obviously some things had to be modified but they did a great job and it tasted amazing. I'll definitely be back.

Stephanie Thomas

Absolutely wonderful! Everything was delicious, food and drinks alike. They have amazing gluten free options. I had the best gluten free eggs Benny I’ve ever had. Service was quick, friendly and accommodating. 5 stars all around!

gabriel

Really awesome gluten free food.

Aurelio Broderick

Aleisha Seggie

Great food and great customer service. Celiac safe battered fish tacos with a non gluten fryer plus corn tortillas for all their tacos, GF soup and salads.

M

The only gluten free burger is a veggie burger which tasted gross. I was misled by reviews saying there are multiple gluten free options. Please add gluten free burger meat to your menu or don't advertise gluten free burgers. A veggie burger is just not the same!

Codie White

Friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere. This little burger place formerly known as Burger haven is amazing! Their "magic mushrooms" are battered deep fried mushrooms and paired with their in house made honey mustard are to die for! The gluten free bun for my burger was fluffy and the best gluten free bun I've had not super dry and dense like other places. Also the milkshakes are great and come in the classic metal cup which I love. They even make them boozy for an extra 3$.I'm going back to this place soon and I recommend you give it a try if you're in the area!

E G

Surprisingly better than I expected! Especially as a local, I usually avoid tourists traps. The Avo. Club is great! Real chicken, large pieces of bacon, Roma tomato, fresh greens, cibatta was soft n fresh too. GF bun for Celiac folks. Great view of Vic on the patio.

Rolf Gullmes

Wow what a great surprise. Our server was fabulous there was 4 of us and one of our group was gluten conscious and she helped her 100% with the decision what to order. Food was awesome as well. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a special evening.

First time trying Spoons Diner, and wow! Worth the long line, and I will definitely be coming back here. I love a retro-style diner, and the food was delicious! Their gluten free english muffin was so tasty that it was suspicious. I have a gluten sensitivity and did not have any reactions from anything I ate, despite the risk of cross contamination. I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast.

Maninderdeep Kundi

Best place to get gluten free burrito.

Enjoyed chicken souvlaki that was safe for me to eat and fries as a celiac…very thankful
