Food was great, my wife suffers from celiac disease and I can safely say after over 24h past the meal that this place took excellent care of her dish! Fantastic service and a nice cozy atmosphere, and absolutely knowledgeable about cross-contamination with gluten. Did not think a place like this existed! Thanks guys! 10/10 recommend stopping here if you’re in Sarnia!
A must-visit for fresh, flavorful thin crust pizza with a great selection of toppings, plus delicious gelato for dessert!

The best gluten free pizza EVER. When I asked, they took the time to talk about ingredients and explain how buckwheat and the super hot oven give the crust some flavour and lift. Wow!
Friendly, fast service & great food. My husband & I had hamburgers with gluten free buns (toasted & crunchy-& tastes like real bread) with yam fries. Yummy it was great! Our daughter enjoyed her meal & our grandaughters liked the food off of the kids menu. They especially liked the chocolate pudding with gummy worms.
With a fantastic rotating selection of soups and hearty sandwiches, it's a cozy spot that keeps everyone coming back for more!

The food was delicious! They have SO MANY options of soup, plus 4 new different soups of the week every week! I got the avocado blt on a gluten free bun which was delicious! The bun was high quality and didn't even fall apart! Then I had the sausage, potato, and spinach soup which was also good. I got fresh cut fries which had their own dedicated gluten free fryer which was awesome! Finally, they even had a gluten free brownie for dessert which was SO good! The service was fast and friendly, and I definitely will be back again! My only complaint is that it was quite expensive.
With amazing buns and a surprisingly positive vibe, this spot makes newcomers feel right at home despite any dietary worries.

Place is good, but very few options for those who don't consume meat.. The lack of veggie options is sad. I can eat chicken, but the chicken is not safe for me since I need to be gluten free, so my 'veg' is lettuce, green pepper, onion and pickle if I have a fresh sub (there is also tomato, but can't have). Where is the spinach? Red peppers? Cucumber? Or even carrots? Need more options.
I also went in with my mother yesterday (Nov 25th, '23), order #10056 and I had to get a salad, because they were out of gluten free buns (that's fine). I asked for pickles with my lettuce, onion and green pepper salad.. and none. I got no pickle in this order, and it's on the receipt. But my last order with them I got no pickle either. You may say 'it's just a pickle', but to forget it twice? I may as well just take my business back to Subway, they never forget anything and they have more options.

We ended up stopping here because the bridge was heavily backed up. Everything was fantastic. The food was warm, fresh and very filling. The pretzel was incredible, the service was quick and attentive. Very pleasantly surprised and the gluten free bun was highly praised.
A delightful surprise for vegans and food lovers alike, featuring an extensive menu and a mini market with unique specialty items.

First off I didn't realize that this place was vegan when I first found it. But wow, what a surprise. Everything was absolutely delicious. I also have different dietary needs, such as gluten free and various oils and the food here is so wholesome that I didn't have to worry. My waitress also confirmed everything. I had the bang bang brussel sprouts salad which had the best combo of flavors. My husband had a smoothie, coffee, and the eggplant parm. Needless to say we were impressed. The quality is top notch. Although we are from MI, we will drive back over the border to get here! They have an extensive menu of food and drinks to choose from and a mini market. Amazing!
Experience exceptional service with attentive staff and a memorable vibe that leaves a lasting impression on visitors!

I have never seen a place with such friendly employees who get along not only with each other but the individual attention given to each customer!!!Amazing your service, the quality, and speed of the meal - cannot ask for anything better! They even took the time to figure out what I could have that would be gluten free!!! I am visiting Ontario from Nova Scotia and I've never been impressed by anything like I have been this place thank you for such a wonderful experience!!!
Expect sizable portions here, but be prepared for a chance of cold dishes despite the longstanding vibe.

This restaurant has not changed from years past. It was nice to see that they offer gluten free options and have a separate area for cooking the gluten friendly food.
Unfortunately, the food was cold and served which is the reason for the 3 star, other than that it an easy 4 star rating.
Large portions.
A must-visit for fantastic flavors and a lively atmosphere, perfect for casual get-togethers or business lunches with friends!

My friend and I loved our lunch today! We came because the food here is so good and the service is always so excellent. Perry from the kitchen made our delicious gluten-free cauliflower crust pesto pizza. Jimmy and Craig from the kitchen made our perfectly cooked salmon and gluten-free noodles. Sherry was our server (best server of life!), and Melissa was the manager and so fun to talk to. Thanks everyone for a great lunch out!

Stopped here for food after getting picked up and dropped off by an American friend for a weekend camping trip to Tobermory. The staff we perfectly gracious about my extra bags, the food was great both times and the proximity to the bus and the waterfront is awesome. Will definitely return here on the way to future adventures.
Also, they do have gluten free options; the bun was good 😊

“Great experience at Pizza Pizza! Quick service, friendly staff, and delicious pizza with a perfectly crispy crust and generous toppings. Love the variety of options, including vegan and gluten-free. Affordable and always satisfying—my top choice for pizza!”
A normal Wendy's. Nothing abnormal about it. It has all the food, treats and drinks you can expect.
As normal they also have the gluten free chili which is always a treat. Just off of the 402.
Quick and friendly service.

I love this place - it's my go to location if I'm looking for take out in Sarnia. It's also a bonus that they have gluten free wraps and practice appropriate protocols for individuals with celiac.
That being said, whenever I order a burrito here, they are always good (my go to is the crunchy chicken tossed with bang bang sauce, with extra burrito sauce). Tonight however, was a 12 out of 10. And the Empanada was 👌🏼. All done with top notch customer service. Great job guys!
Enjoy a lively spot with attentive service and rave reviews, making it a favorite for those seeking a welcoming vibe.

Every time we come in to the A&W on Exmouth in Sarnia the staff provide us with excellent service. I have Celiac disease and need to be cautious with what I eat and they are always careful with my food. I appreciate their hard work

Really enjoy the menu and drinks at Coffee Culture. There are gluten-free sandwich options for breakfast and lunch. There are also gluten-free baked goods, which is not very common. I like that I can always trust that there will be options.
With a welcoming vibe, this spot impresses with personalized service and an awesome variety of options to choose from.

Love going in they ask your pay or his? Then know my order! Great service! Love the options! They even take care to make sure my gluten-free order is gluten-free! I recommend the bagels! And chai latte!
Good food, but had to remind the workers about my gluten allergy several times. Tried to use the same gloves as they had on a gluten sandwich, and the same spatula and bin of sauce rather than changing the spatula and bin for the gluten free pita. I haven't experienced this there before, so perhaps new workers? Please remind staff about avoiding cross contamination.
Small place, but good food. High-end pub fare with good burgers, wonton nachos, and a couple gluten-friendly options. Decent selection of beers on tap and a good overall atmosphere for lunch or dinner. Avoid on First Friday as its packed to the point of standing room only!
Conveniently located off the 402 near the mall, this spot is perfect for a quick and satisfying grab-and-go experience.

Absolutely friendly staff. Tried the Tropical Mule so good. Ordered the Onion Bhajis and Samosas they were delicious, the sauces had excellent flavours. I wished I took a photo but the food disappeared so fast. Then had the chicken tikka wrap with sweet potato fries and a house spiced mayo. It was perfect! Will definitely add this restaurant into our rotation. They also have gluten free options.
Great food every time! There’s a fantastic selection of gluten-free and vegetarian options, and hands down, the best vegetarian poutine in town! Highly recommend!

From the moment you walk in your greeted with a smile and welcome in a beautiful, inviting, clean and relaxing atmosphere. I tried their signature drink but with vanilla and it was absolutely delicious. Each and every item you can see is made with love and care with such crisp detail - we loved our gingerbread cookies. My dad who is gluten free has a hard time finding items he likes that doesn’t taste dry and couldn’t get enough of his GF cake in a cup. Thank you 🤍 Highly recommend.
