Fast, gluten free, and very nice employees. Stopped in for a Bangkok Bowl and a Thai curry soup. The bowl was nice - went with half rice/salad option and added chicken. The soup was good. Both dishes were gluten free. I’m in town for a trip and I’ll be going back to this restaurant again, knowing that it’s got GF options. Staff were both really nice to speak to and were happy to talk about the menu and the franchises across the country.

Went here for a friends birthday. We got the biscuits and the smash burger. The biscuits weren’t warm they were cool. They had gluten free options.

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.

I love coming here! I have to eat gluten free and it’s great how many options there are for me. Kimberly was our server and she was so sweet and helpful. Highly recommend Sabrosa

Really great food, also a bonus that everything is fresh. Friendly staff and tons of options for food, you even have the choice for gluten free. The only thing was that the atmosphere seemed a bit dated and maybe could have been a bit cleaner, but all in a good place to check out if you’re in the area.

I absolutely love the crobster roll from the Canteen. The seafood tastes really fresh and every time I've been there, the servers have been friendly and nice. I've ordered the crobster roll both with the regular bread and the gluten free bun - and I feel like less seafood is given in the gluten free bun (it's a hamburger bun instead of bread slice). Overall, I'd love to come back next time I'm in Dartmouth and I would advise making a reservation beforehand as it's usually quite busy.

The constantly rotating tap makes it worth coming back over and over for great local beer. Only thing that can make the beer better is the burgers to go with! Their gluten free buns are actually good, too.

Nice restaurant, could have some more gluten free options but overall very good.

Excellent food! Some gluten free options. Once they made pasta for me with a box of unopened GF noodles, and it was one of the best pastas I've ever eaten. (And I used to work fine dining and gourmet catering in Toronto!) But they told me once only, because of "sanitary" reasons. I was disappointed with this. I can understand if I brought in raw meat or fish, but dry pasta in a box does not pose any sanitary issues at all. Anyhow, the staff are good and friendly, it's kind of like "Cheers" (the old tv sitcom). Worst is that the walls and ceilings are square and reflective, so it is REALLY LOUD when full. Great place great food. But please, have a couple boxes of GF noodles on hand!

Food is always so good and fresh. Servers are also very nice and the kitchen could accommodate some dishes for a celiac friend.

Aimee Daigle

Ate dinner here on the Sunday of labour day weekend. We were a party of 6 and had an early reservation. Our server Jenn (Jem) was not only an excellent server, she should also have her own comedy show. She was playful and hilarious. She made the experience a 10/10. Everyone’s food was also great. We had a variety of items and they were able to accommodate with gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian options.

The signature haddock dish was absolutely perfect, would highly recommend. The server was very attentive and gave great recommendations, hence the haddock. They accommodated and made a gluten free version of the haddock for my grandmother who is celiac. Lots of tasty cocktails and beer as well.

Chanoey's in Dartmouth was the first place I got takeout when I moved here, and has since become my favorite place to eat. The owners are sweet and kind, the food is delicious and fairly priced, and the atmosphere of the restaurant itself is great. They are very accommodating people like me that can't eat gluten and they are very diligent about preventing cross contamination. If I have friends or family in town, I always recommend they stop into Chanoey's.

This is my ultimate favourite breakfast spot! I was thrilled to find out they serve gluten-free bread to make toast to have with breakfast (if you jave dietary restrictions) and so now I can go to breakfast knowing I can still have a safe meal. They also have other gluten-free breakfast options and they make the best greek omelettes. They stack it full of goodness and serve it with a smile. They coffee always hot and tasty and they always keep your cup topped up. I can honestly say that I've never left hungry and I've been so full after eating here I've felt like I needed a nap! This place is great for large groups, people with lots of kids , and even if you're flying solo. The kids meals are such a great deal! Kids always seem to be occupied and super happy hear. This is one place I can say is great for family get togethers. You won't be disappointed with the prices or the portions. The owner is sweet and very kind. Spacious, clean restaurant with great staff and fantastic food!

Gluten-free crusted pizza was delicious. Will be my go in Dartmouth!

doc chef

Good quality and portion size. Service was great as well. Very accommodating for gluten free options on the AYCE menu

Meagan Ellacott

Wasn’t sure about gluten free options but they had a GF pizza crust that was actually really good! 7.5/10 pizza, dough wasn’t completely cardboard and cheese had a great pull to it. Only downside was the kitchen was a bit slow pushing out food however it was very busy so I won’t hold it against them. Good service, good atmosphere and really good Gf pizza!

Robin Young

Amazing service! We ordered a chowder and then realized that it had flour in it (my mom is celiac). The server left the chowder for my brother and I to enjoy and didn't charge us for it while my mum got the pan fried haddock. Great fish at a super affordable price.

Claudette Sampson

My husband and I went to Hardisty Brewing Company for a New Year’s Eve. I had the mead and my husband had the nonalcoholic hop water. We had two charcuterie boards, the dessert board and the other was build your own. I'm gluten free and there was a great selection of food and drink to choose from for gluten-free and non-alcoholic. Very yummy! The staff was informative and friendly.

Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Charcoal grilled meat. Nice wine. We will be back. Also many gluten free options.

Edit: original post below. The manager called me this evening and apologized for before, and is researching options that are safe. They acknowledged the error and and we're not at all defensive or judgemental. If I can ever eat there, trust me, I'll be ordering all the time. Not safe for those with allergies: Called and asked them to check the ingredients of the gluten free crusts for potato. She didn't even look, just said there was no potato flour or starch in any of the crusts. I called another location and when they actually looked at the ingredients sure enough, potato starch in both.

Thank you to the young man who was so accommodating to my celiac needs to ensure I had a great sub!
