Delicious food!! Atmosphere was crazy cool and an awesome view of the harbour. Also our server was absolutely awesome. A little expensive but definitely worth the experience. Also they gave me a birthday cake and it was very yummy. Very accommodating for someone in my party’s gluten intolerance as well.

Chuck Hermann

Gluten free fish and chips and the crust was thick and crunchy! Loved it. And the espresso martini was perfectly made with a lot of espresso flavor. Would order the whole thing again if I was spending another night.

David Robson

Always a great place to grab some food. Awesome Gluten Free options.

Francois Ruel

Delicious food, one of my favorite places. Many gluten-free options

Alysha Dupuis

Asked if they had any gluten free items and they provided me with a separate menu of just gluten free items. I got fish cakes. I believe they also had a gluten free seafood chowder. Staff was nice. Outside patio is pretty small so we had to sit inside.

Gabrielle Loyer

I am celiac and the gluten free pizza was delicious. The best I've eaten in a long time.

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.

Oh my. Such a wonderful experience. I despise being gluten-free and find it embarrassing to have to ask for options. Cassandra was so accommodating, and in short order, the manager was at the table, explaining things to me. The result was fantastic food. It was our wedding anniversary as well as my husband's birthday. So happy we chose to celebrate there. Thank you so very much. All of you. Oh, and the jalapeño margaritas? An absolute must have!!

Theresa Burris

An exceptional dining experience. Very impressed with how serious food allergies are treated. Our server, who was excellent, guaranteed no crosscontamination of gluten and the manager Yamac, who was particularly personable, attentive and pleasant, discussed the method of food preparation, ingredient substitution prior to the meal being made and checked in afterwards to confirm everything was satisfactory. My partner and I enjoyed every bite of our meals. I had the Chipotle Mango Chicken, my partner had the Grilled Chicken Zen Bowl. Photo of the Chipotle Mango Chicken enclosed. The cheesecake was the best that we ever had. The service was excellent. Hats off and thanks to Moxie's a restaurant doing it right. We will be back.

Jeneva Moxon

What a sweet little place! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and yummy food! Bonus of being family friendly and having lots of gluten free options. Very pleased we found this spot.

Krista Wright

Ate at Krave numerous times when my husband was in the hospital! Delicious food for someone who eats gluten free - love the buns!!!

Scout and Ellie

Amazing food, Becka went out of her way to make it a wonderful experience especially for our daughter with Celiac. She's the best server we've had in many years. Definitely a go to spot!

Stefanie Landry

We had a party of 8, 4 kids 4 adults. It was great service and very accommodating for everyone. Great selection of Gluten free food

Patricia Coates

Very good food and friendly staff. Had a vegan burger and gluten free bun.

Lior Seidel

A wide variety of gluten-free options. Dedicated fryer

Bulenda Attila

Gluten free options

Brittany Lambert

I love this place. I have celiacs disease and have never had an issue eating there. They always add an extra little treat and they're always very friendly! Nothing bad to say, such a great meal for the price!

Tim

Waiting staff were exceptional. Attentive without being pushy, returned to the table at appropriate times all round excellent. My wife is gluten intolerant and they have a great selection of suitable options.

Ade Jeanne

I went to this restaurant for a Deaf event. One of the servers new sign language and was able to serve the deaf people adequately and charismatically. As a gluten-free person, I had a delicious haddock taco and didn't feel the gluten-free options were any less delicious than the regular options! Prices are high, but fair for the overall experience. Will definitely be returning.

Tracey Jardine

Great pizza, including an awesome gluten free crust that’s available. Fresh ingredients, custom options for the pizza and lots of other fare to choose from as well. Staff are simply awesome - friendly, helpful. Love having this restaurant in the neighbourhood.

Becky C.

My fiance and I often frequent this place since it's so close to home. We try to go early in the evening to avoid the crowds, since it can, and it will, get very loud in there. And, they close pretty early, considering they're a pub. I appreciate that there's gluten free options, and I've never had an issue with it actually being GF. But the food can be hit or miss. Occasionally, the burgers will be burnt, other times, they'll be perfect. Sometimes the Spinach dip is soupy, other times, it's heavenly. The fish can be great, other times, it's cold. But the staff are always great to us, and we've never had an issue with our service. I thoroughly enjoy the cocktails (the peachy tea is my favourite!) and my fiance sometimes enjoys his beer - once again, hit or miss.

The interior is beautiful, romantic enough, cozy, but the light is too dim for me (but this is my subjective opinion). Location - the restaurant is located in the down town, i.e. in the city center, which, unfortunately, means the absence of its own parking lot and you have to look for it, and it is paid even on weekends. Food - not very many, in fact, menu items if we are talking about the main dishes. There are few gluten-free dishes, which, for example, was a problem for us. We had to order soup and salad because we have restrictions on the types of meat we can eat and therefore, actually, vegetarian soup is all we could order. It was delicious, I have no complaints, but it's still a pity that there is such a limited selection of gluten-free meat dishes. We ordered tea and I liked that the tea cup was warm (despite the fact that it was empty), and the tea was served separately in a teapot). Service - everything here was top notch, the girl who served us was as attentive as possible, she knew the menu and the composition of the dishes well, she could tell us what dishes we could order, taking into account the restrictions we had. But still, I deducted one star. I was out of paper towels. As always, in the restaurant there is a cloth napkin in which the cutlery is wrapped and which we put on our laps when we eat, but I cannot wipe my lips, for example, with that napkin, for this I need paper ones, but they were not on the table and no one offered . This is my humble opinion, it was uncomfortable for me. Well, the shortcomings of the menu that I wrote about above also played a role in the evaluation. And in general, I can recommend this place, we liked it.

Amazing food and amazing Service Great location and had lots of gluten-free options for my gluten-free friend. Loved it.

Danny Allain

Great meal. Gluten free.

Sky Norman

Folks are over excited about beer batter, but letting that go, get the gluten free version fish and chips! Also nachos were nice, and the salmon platter came with well made soda bread. Nice crust Solid pour of Guinness, what more can I ask for!

Fay Rolfe

On vaycay from Vancouver B.C. doing the walk about at Pier21 and stopped into The BG. Beautiful location, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Huge beverage menu!! As celiac, it's challenging to find some safe eats away from home. I ordered the gf option Lobster Roll & fries and oh my lord.... fantastic 😋 Thanks for being aware of dietary restrictions for some 🥳 If I'm ever back out this way, will definitely come back.

Steve Cooke

Absolute garbage. Used to love going to the Irving big stop. As so many people here have said, what on earth has happened. I'm celiac so I am used to paying extra and sometimes smaller portions, but this was pathetic. The gluten free menu is incredibly small, and it's not just the menu that's small. I had the clubhouse sandwich, gluten free. The food portions were incredibly small. 2 tiny pieces of bread, and way less chicken, bacon and cheese. It felt like I was eating a lunchable but paying $24 for it instead. Even the waitress told us it was pathetic and doesn't even come with the 3 pieces of bread the usual one does. Of course this after we got the bill, I wasn't forewarned. I was charged $3.50 more for the gluten free bread and another $2 for gluten free gravy. And I'm pretty sure the lose of chicken and bacon more than makes up for the cost of gluten free bread. Originally it came with the baked fries, but I asked to have the fried ones instead. Some cross contamination doesn't bother me. So the baked ones came out and I had said I asked for the fried ones, so the waitress took the baked ones back and the portion of fried ones was incredibly small as well. One of the worst meals I have ever had in any restaurant, and definitely THE worst one for a big stop. But wait... There's more!!! My wife had the pan friend haddock. She is not celiac. We saw after we ate, that someone on here had posted that the pan fried haddock was terrible and super small. The reply was that they would talk to their distributor. They certainly did not. It was two very small pieces of fish, that looked as if they had come from a fish stick box. I will say that my daughter did enjoy her dinner, the baked Mac and cheese. Honestly we were really looking forward to eating at the big stop since it has been so long. It was just the worst. Definitely lost customers on this one, and I will be telling everyone we know to avoid it. Overpriced and terrible.

Nestled at the Halifax waterfront amongst historical buildings, the A Mano is a beautiful Italian restaurant that serves traditional fares with great pairings of wines and the usual beers. Service is smooth overall, but we did have a small issue with a gluten-free order, which needed to be rectified. We were a group of 8 and a wide selection of food was ordered. The Schiacciata, Sgabello, Calamari Fritti were good and perfect for a chilly evening. As the main course, Quattro Carni, fresh Halibut with Shrimps, Lasagna, Lamb Shank, Seafood Stew and the Linguini were good. We were too full and ordered the share Torta Per Due cheesecake and were not disappointed . Overall, good restaurant and great vibes for a chilled dinner next to the water.

Tammy Tom Hurshman

Fast, friendly service from Ashley. Gluten free bun was amazing, thank you

Virginia Renaud

My husband and I are on holiday here in NS. I am gluten-free and he is not. It's tough to find tasty food for both of us, that's safe for me to eat. Union Street had both! Great experience, friendly people and would definitely recommend it!

Rod Paul

Good food and good service, with gluten free options

Sara Vandenbroek

This Boston pizza did not disappoint, as a new celiac they ensured I would be able to eat at their location without worry. The food was good! Service was great we had both the manager and a server who were both wonderful! The atmosphere was like any other sports bar, very nice, not loud and friendly!

Value of the Valley

Always welcoming and a great experience. Very accommodating to gluten allergies. Several gluten free options. Asked if something specific had gluten and they found out and let us know.

Sonja Naugler

I placed a catering order for my office. The food was very good, no issues there. I ordered and PAID for gluten free pita which I did not receive. When I brought this to the attention of the restaurant I was told we will make sure you get it next time. Sadly this is not something that my office does often so next would likely not be until next year. I was very disappointed with this response. Honestly I likely would not have left this review but the restaurant asked for a review so Im going to be honest and say that I was not overly happy with this order.

Tamara gross

Have wanted to try this place out forever after hearing about them having Gluten Free options. So glad we did today! Tandoori chicken fries were delicious and the Kashmiri apple fries should be illegal. The flavour and texture are crave worthy. So so good! Can’t wait to come back. Make sure you go check it out!!

Ian Lavoie

I came here with a group for lunch on the patio. The service was very friendly and helpful. The menu specified which options were vegan and gluten free. Some menu options were both.

Al Killam

Gluten wise pizza here is the very best of any restaurant. It's kinda small for the price but it's a nice treat once in a while.

Lorelei Wilder

Very delicious and super accommodating for dietary restrictions - gluten free, no onions or garlic

Delphine O

Caryn was really nice and concerned about my gluten and other issues.

Emily Driscoll

The Bedford Mall Kenny’s is the ONLY pizza place with gluten free options I feel safe ordering from! The level of knowledge and care the staff have in regards to mitigating cross contamination is truly one of a kind in Halifax. Service is always prompt and friendly, and I’ve only had positive experiences both in restaurant and delivery (they also deliver to all of HRM despite being in Bedford). Not to mention, the pizza crust is absolutely delicious, with a perfect texture that rivals its gluten counterpart. Highly recommend Kenny’s Bedford for anyone gluten free!

Maya Serbu

I come here all the time, specifically for my favourite server rachel adderley, she’s always attentive, friendly and accommodating. I have celiac and she is always extremely helpful with information on all the gluten free option that they offer. Always a great experience!

Melissa Stephens

Was a super cute place, enjoyed the mussels with a great gluten free bun. Music was wonderful. I will certainly go back again

Eva M

Very good food and service. Typical pub fair but it was really good. Had a gluten free menu!

Māḷagi

I really liked the staff were attentive and quick service was provided. Had great meal loved the ramen and sweet edamame beans. They have limited menu but still have gluten free options. Although I find it's bit pricy, I would still visit again.

NCPD Tom

Best steakhouse in Halifax, number 1 with a bullet. I got the Cigar Tenderloin and the other half had a Coffee Aged Strip, served with a glorious red wine jus both of these steaks absolutely slapped, sides were delicious and plentiful, would order the Mushrooms again but probably skip the mash and sprouts next time in favor of something else. They had a dessert menu but we didn't have it in us, next time! The service was top notch and my dietary needs (Celiac) were taken seriously without making a fuss. I cant wait to come back, I must have an anniversary or something coming up and if not I'll have to invent one.

Kristen Maclean

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

Byrnsey5

We ordered the combination pizza as well as a gluten free garlic fingers and we were so pleased! The food arrived hot and fresh and tasted amazing!

Lisa Purcell

Love that they have a dedicated fryer so I can have gluten free options. Great service and style No complaints at all. Repeat customer and I'll bring friends

Whitney Paige.B.
