Love everything about this place. Cool vibe, supporting local product and lot's of gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options.

Was so happy we found this place.As soon as we entered and told the hostess I was interested in ordering gluten free it was the best experience.She advised that some of the staff were either gluten intolerant or Celiac and they had a thorough understanding about cross contamination etc. We ordered fish and chips and they were amazing!!! .Having Celiac Disease I usually have a heightened sense of anxiety when eating out so when I find a place that makes you feel comfortable it kind of makes me feel a little emotional. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all but especially those with issues related to gluten.

Best Smitty’s I have ever been to! The service and food is fantastic. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and they have a specific gluten free menu along with options on the regular menu and have never gotten sick from the food ever!! They use different coloured plates for allergens, it’s very thoughtful.

Brandy McGibbon

Delicious gluten free and vegetarian options.

Eric Stcyr

Had an amazing dinner, the food and drinks were excellent and they were very accommodating to dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free) in our group. The service was also outstanding and each person in our group received a fresh rose at the end of the meal. The ambiance was really nice as well. I highly recommend it!

We had a gathering of 16 people and Talay Thai put together our take out order flawlessly. The food was delicious, and they were very knowledgeable and willing to accommodate my gluten sensitivity.

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.

So. Many. Gluten-free. Options. I was overwhelmed by choices. Everything was delicious. Dolmades were amazing.

Patricia Coates

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

JS Fletcher

Wow, I am very impressed! The food was absolutely delicious and I already know what I will try next visit. I had the Ultimate Club with delicious Dragon fries and a blueberry blast smoothie. Food is 100% vegan and very fresh. Great atmosphere, and the ladies working were very friendly and helpful. While I'm personally okay to eat gluten, they did have many gluten free options as well!

Holly Carleton

Sweet place Amazing variety of gluten free options. Very busy and did take a long time to get the food but it was worth the wait.

Jeannette Folan

What a find! The decor is upscale with a fireplace in the back (though I still preferred the front booths). The staff is very personable without being intrusive. And the food is WAY above par -- especially for gluten free options! Many items are already GF and most others have gf options. BEST seafood chowder in all of NS (and I have tried every GF chowder out there). Also, I want to say how reasonably priced everything is here. Refreshing, considering how overpriced most restaurants are today.

Kathy Tracey

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!!

Colin Purcell

I would have given a high rating, but I'm tried of being gouged for gluten free buns and bread. Its not a choice, its celiac. The food was great and service very friendly.

Alex Trimper

My favourite cidery in the valley! Great food! They do a good job with gluten-free needs.

Rodney Thompson

Excellent lamb dishes, plenty to eat, and a great selection of gluten-free options for the spouse! Some added touches really set off the experience nicely!

Emma

Very quick and tasty food! Gluten free and vegan options! Counter service and then they bring food to the table. Very friendly staff!

Got stranded in Antigonish with car trouble and walked over to check out the pizza here. Wow! One of the best gf pizzas I've had! It says it's a cauliflower crust ("gluten gone crust") but this didn't taste like cauliflower, just thin, crispy and delish. I had pepperoni and hot peppers with cheese, all of it delicious and I feel great! I'm always nervous in small local places like this but this was a big win! I did ask if they're careful about cross contamination and he seemed surprised and said of course. Great friendly, quick service too!
