Food was delicious. Just landed today from Ireland and were on a way to lunenberg when we all suddenly were starving so we went into Vernon's. Loved it. I highly recommend the fried chicken and fries. YUMMY!!!! one of the two teenagers with me had mac n cheese and the other classic burger as well as milkshakes. There were stuffed after. I forced myself to have a gluten free cheesecake and I'm glad I did. It was gorgeous. Just under a 100 dollars for the 3 of us which I found reasonable. The food was gorgeous. I would seriously recommend to go there and try it. Might even go for round two when we are passing on way back to Halifax.

Just went to Naan n Curry with my girlfriend. The food was tasty, the Naan portions were generous and overall it was a good deal for our money. More importantly, we've had challenges finding good food in HRM because of her dairy allergy. The menu at Naan N curry specifically mentions if the option is gluten free, vegan or dairy free. Very happy with our experience and will be back

I am newly Celiac diagnosed and I found the staff helpful in guiding me to what I could not have. They also quickly switched employees when I mention Celiac. The new server put on fresh gloves and made sure there was no cross contamination. I was sad I could no longer eat my favourite pineapple salsa though, as they said the Sweet Thai Chili sce in it had gluten.

The service was great (friendly and efficient) and the food was above average. They offer gluten free substitutions for limited items (bread, pasta, tortilla) for a charge, but have limited options for dairy free diet restrictions.

My daughter has Celiac disease so we were in Bedford on business and checked google for gluten free dining. PizzaTown came up and was close to our location so we headed there. To say that it was the best pizza I had ever had would be an understatement. I couldn't believe how many toppings were on that pizza. I had Hawaiian and my daughter had a meat lovers which was also FULL of toppings. The sauce was delicious, the waiter was so friendly and accommodating and pricing was fairly normal. I will definitely recommend this place and will return when in the area again.😋😋Thank you Pizzatown. :)

Very tasty meals both times I went; my mom can eat here because they are quite cautious with food allergies. Gluten free options are available! Every time I take out; I see their order notes stapled to the bag. They make it very clear that they care about making every thing right.

Adorable eclectic little spot for Starbucks like drinks but better! Big Mugs👍🏼 Fun for people watching.. we went in the early afternoon and wasn’t too busy! Comfy seats, milk alternatives and YES gluten free ! Have a 4 star because there was an issue with payment and computer but the young women working were very kind and helpful! London Fog, Oak milk Lattes with Vanilla, Gluten free Oat cake and Spinach Feta pastry all very good!
