I ordered a gluten free pizza online and Oh My Goodness!!! It was a bad day, but this pizza made it a whole lot better. I’m eating a reheated slice right now and it’s just as good as fresh and so filling? I’m amazing. 10/10
With its tasty 2-for-1 deals and a unique combo of Greek and burger options, this spot will keep you coming back for more delicious bites.

It was my first time trying this place, and for being celiac certified, it made me feel so much safer to eat here. I got the Ottawa burger and a poutine. Both were hands down, so freaking good. Our server Dawn was also amazing she made me and my family feel very welcoming. You guys should also start selling you bacon mayo. I would buy that by the truck loads. Lol
With a cozy vibe and great accessibility, this spot is perfect for a relaxed meal, offering a welcoming atmosphere and quick service even when busy.

Extremely helpful staff. They discussed with me what options are really safe and which ones aren’t. I wanted to order something that was only gluten free but made in the same fryer, however, the friendly staff made it possible to do it in a separate fryer

First experience was amazing, had the gluten free pizza crust and by far one of the best I've had. Returned a second time specifically for the good pizza to find out they had run out of the gluten free dough. Very upset, you shouldn't put something on the menu if you don't keep it in stock. This would have never happened with a regular dough. Extremely disappointed and will not return.

Super fun place, great food, great service. Had a blast. 100% Gluten Free. Huge, varied menu. Great cocktails, lots of flavours of margaritas. All serviced super fast, super friendly. Cannot wait for patio season to enjoy the food and drinks in the sun... but the interior is decorated very festively. I'll be back!

I love this place! We used to come here often, but we mover to Gatineau so it's much further away. We nonetheless do the 20 minute drive from time to time because the burgers are sooo worth it. Plus the place is very gluten free friendly. Gluten free buns, separate grill, and gluten free poutine sauce. 100% recommend!
Lively and cozy, this spot features rustic decor, a large bar, shuffleboard, and a patio with vibrant vibes overlooking Lansdowne Park.

Stopped at The Keg (Hunt Club) last week for an early dinner. Mental note: it only opens at 5:00 pm on Thursdays. We both had a 6oz top sirloin (Keg Classic). The Keg menu is well-indicated with gluten-friendly options. Our server, Jacob, was excellent and made certain that my meal was, in fact, going to be gluten-friendly. Definitely no bad reactions after this meal - other than being very full! You definitely get what you pay for here; the food and service were top-notch. My only suggestion... please come up with gluten-friendly bread that looks as good as the regular bread that is served before the meal.
Wonderful job on the gluten free for my celiac daughter. Good communication and sounds like good training in place for kitchen staff. Burgers were great for the rest of us too. Thank you.
Downtown vibes blend upscale and chill, with amazing service, unique mocktails, and a lively atmosphere that keeps everyone coming back.

We had a great experience dining at Joey Rideau! Our food was delicious. Highly recommend the steak frites (this dish is also celiac safe, if you cannot have gluten). Our server Daphne was very kind and made sure that we enjoyed everything! We were celebrating our anniversary and it was lovely.

This was my first time ordering from there. Read a lot of reviews saying how good their fish and chips were, even on a gluten free app. People saying the best fish and chips in town. Sadly I would disagree. Ordered the dill gluten free, 2 piece with fries for pick up for lunch today to share. We both found the fish to be lacking in flavour. The fish was cooked nicely, and the batter was really crispy, but it needs more flavour. Also, nothing on the menu says what type of fish it is, or that there is a gluten free option. And the fries, although it says they're handcut, weren't very crispy either. While I was waiting for my food, it was sitting in the box on the counter wide open too, and even though the drive home was only about 5 minutes, the food was barely warm when we went to eat it.
Grab a quick bite at this lively spot known for its accommodating vibe and delicious offerings that keep patrons coming back.

Went out for a birthday dinner. Took a good 30 min to get our food. One burger was way overcooked and the gluten free bun was so dry and crumbly, we had to take it off to eat it.
The two other burgers with the cheese stuff patty was almost raw. gave the food a 2 star because the onion rings were good and so were bacon wrapped cheese balls.
A vibrant spot with a diverse menu, unique drink options, and a laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for a fun night out.

The food was okay, but our experience was disappointing. It was a very busy evening at the restaurant, making it difficult to have a conversation due to the noise level. We had to speak very loudly just to hear each other.
For dessert, we ordered five gluten-free cheesecakes (four for takeout and one to try at the restaurant) and one cinnamon bun with ice cream. After tasting the cheesecake and the cinnamon bun, we decided we didn’t like the cheesecake’s flavor and asked to change our takeout order of four gluten-free cheesecakes to four cinnamon buns with ice cream instead.
We informed the waiter that we had tried one cheesecake and didn’t enjoy the taste, so we no longer wanted the four cheesecakes for takeout. However, the waiter insisted that we still had to pay for the cheesecakes because they had already been boxed. While they offered a 10% discount if we wished to purchase the cinnamon buns, we found this resolution unsatisfactory.
Overall, we left feeling very disappointed with the experience.
This cozy spot near downtown offers a vibrant atmosphere with authentic, flavorful dishes and quick service, perfect for small groups.

A group of us with dietary restrictions ate here. We had a vegetarian, and a gluten free person. The menu was already designed to accommodate everyone. There's clear labels for things without gluten and vegetarian.
I eat meat, so my food was flavorful, the broth was amazing, the toppings were good but I wish they gave me more tripe and tendons. I think they limit it because people might not know what they're getting, but you can get the same dish without those toppings, so I would say that you know what you're getting if you're ordering this and expecting equal amounts of everything.
The vegetarian said that their broth wasn't as flavorful, almost like salty water. They could add some more spices to it. I also tried it and I've had better veggie pho. I would rate that food 2 stars.
Overall, I would go back to this place. If you need gluten free options but eat meat, definitely try this place.

The pizza is incredible, the owner is an absolute gentleman and TRUE Italian in every sense of the word. The pizza margarita is sublime, simple, delicious and full of authentic flavours, feels and renoncent reminders of visiting Italy and it’s true approach to pizza prepared.
As a gluten sensitive individual - giving up pizza for the last few years has been devastating. The gluten free margarita here? Is truly chefs kiss!
The front of house team (servers) are warm, patient and approachable.
This building (previously occupied by the late wonderful Bob and the beloved team at stoneface) has clearly inherited another gem - in Del Piacere.
Love this place! A must try and repeat - repeatedly ❤️

The staff at this restaurant went above and beyond!!! We ordered 2 pizzas through Uber Eats and the order ended up getting canceled due to an issue with the driver. We called the restaurant and they were incredibly accommodating. They arranged for a courier to send the pizzas to us instead. We have not been to this restaurant in person yet, but we will definitely be going in the near future. The pizzas were delicious! Gluten-free crust is amazing 👏.

We went for a birthday to the mainstay - The Glen Scottish Pub & Restaurant in Stittsville, Ontario, Canada. A friendly welcome to the cozy atmosphere, we sat in the corner at the round table as a party of five. The fish and chips are the way to go with multiple ways for it to be prepared including gluten-free. I had the Chicken Caesar Tacos and I special ordered them in a hard corn shell that disintegrated on the first bite causing everything to fall out. Unfortunate order and circumstance. I would recommend the Bombay Poutine, nice twist to a traditional fish. Attentive service with a smile, everyone was pleased with their fish that was a good portion and flavourful. I’m going for the fish next time! See you again, Chris>

I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant. I was in the area for business and stopped here for dinner. I ordered the mahi mahi fish entree and it was arguably one of the best meals of my life. The service is very quick, professional and outstanding. What impressed me the most was the attention and care they take when preparing and serving meals for gluten-free (GF) diners like me. They can prepare must dishes GF upon request. Seldom have I witnessed such attention to detail with precautions taken. The GF cheesecake dessert was something to die for. I want to travel back to Kanata merely to dine at this location. Thank you Moxie's!

Overall experience was nice for a night out with my girls! The service was great and the atmosphere was modern/chic and cozy.
Atlantic Salmon (4/5): the salmon was moist, there was plenty of sauce (I’m a sauce connoisseur) and the zucchini paired well. I would have appreciated something fresh to help cut the heaviness of the dish. However; it was still a light and tasty dish! I also ordered a piece of their focaccia on the side to get all the sauce
Pappardelle (4/5): Made with gluten free pasta for our gluten free friend! It was a good cream sauce dish, can’t go wrong here.
Beef Tenderloin (4/5): Other than the beef being a little overdone than requested, the dish was also very good!
Baked Rigatoni Alla Vodka (4/5): spicier than I am used to with vodka pastas but still good for those that have any spicy tolerance higher than mine (spice level: 3/5)
Oysters (4/5): Decently sized! I just wish the lemons were cut into wedges rather than slices.
Pumpkin Spice Flan (4/5): Creamy, smoothie and reminds me of fall
Fall ‘set’ Cheesecake (4/5): A deconstructed cheesecake with bourbon soaked cherries. The cheese part of the cake was almost a whipped texture and the crumble was good! I wish the cheese part would have been a bit more solid and I would have appreciated more of the cherry ‘sauce’ on the plate.
I would recommend this place to friends and would go again!

This is our go to restaurant when we want a good meal. The food is always consistently delicious and the staff is incredibly friendly. This time I brought my mom and aunt who were visiting from out of town. They could not stop raving about how delicious the food was and most notably how wonderful and sweet our server, Summer, was. Summer went above and beyond to make sure all of my aunt's food and drinks were safe as my aunt has Celiac disease. We will definitely be back again next time they are in town.
Thanks for another great evening ❤️🙂

Just having arrived back home from a long work trip, I took the family to Moxie's for a fun night out. Kids loved the atmosphere and the server and managers made our stay welcoming and warm.
Outstanding food also. Had the blackened shrimp tacos and my wife had the crispy chicken sandwich (her fave). Kids are well also and they were able to accommodate my son's gluten intolerance and the manager even came out to ensure we were satisfied with their solutions.
Definitely going back for date night!

Had a wonderful time at The Standard. The Detroit style Stay Gold pizza exceeded expectations. I was expecting the thick crust to be too heavy and "bready" but those crispy edges were very satisfying. There were also numerous gluten-free options which was appreciated by one of our party.

This review is for the senior management at BP. I highly recommend promoting Jessica and having her train staff at other locations nationwide. It will undoubtedly boost your sales. As someone with a family affected by celiac disease and allergies, dining out can be overwhelming. However, thanks to Jessica's instruction, we now feel at ease when eating at BP. It has become our preferred family dining option.

Positives:
Friendly staff and convenient location: The staff at Browns Socialhouse in downtown Ottawa were friendly and welcoming. The location was easy to get to from our hotel.
Delicious food: The food was very good, especially the burger (made with gluten-free ingredients!), tuna poke bowl, and fish and chips.
Areas for Improvement:
Flat beverages: Unfortunately, the fountain pop was flat, and they only had bottled drinks available. The server mentioned they have recurring problems with this. Similarly, the beer on tap was also flat, which was a letdown.
Gluten-free communication: I called the restaurant beforehand to inquire about gluten-free options. I was informed they have dedicated fryers for gluten-free items. However, upon arrival, the menu descriptions seemed to contradict this. It would be helpful if the menu could be more accurate regarding gluten-free options to avoid any confusion for future diners with dietary restrictions.
Overall:
Browns Socialhouse has the potential to be a great spot with its friendly staff and delicious food. However, some improvements in beverage service and menu accuracy, particularly regarding gluten-free options, would enhance the dining experience.
