A friendly neighborhood restaurant with a wide variety of sauces to choose from for your wings. The peanut satay sauce was excellent!! They even customized the heat level on my husband’s sauce. The fried Brussels sprouts were amazing too! Nice selection of local beer to go with it.

I ordered a classic bacon cheeseburger, spicy chicken wings, and fries — everything was freshly made and delicious. The burger was juicy with melted cheese and a soft bun. Wings had a nice kick to them, and the fries were crispy and not greasy at all. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Great place for a casual bite!

GLUTEN FREE deliciousness!! This place has a lot of passion and you can tell the staff have so much heart and love with what they do. Gluten free eats and treats like this are hard to find, so I can appreciate the extensive offerings and menu options. They can pretty much make everything gluten free (excluding wraps). The boneless wings are heavenly and I love that the batter isn’t heavy and thick - it’s perfectly done. So amazing to have a fried pickle option too, and there are so many more items I’d love to try. Keep doing what you do as this is a hidden gem that deserves to stay open forever! I also appreciate that the gluten free bakery is two doors down. Great location and can’t wait to go back.

Visiting Victoria and found this restaurant with many gluten-free options for me to choose from. Great fresh prepared food. Friendly and helpful staff combined with a cool neighborhood vibe made for an enjoyable meal. I had the full pound of wings with additional side salad. Wings were meaty and and the salad crisp with thin sliced beets, carrots and almonds. A crisp glass of Pinot Grigio complented the meal. Conveniently located on bus routes from the downtown tourist area.

Epic service and really good food. Great prices too. We were a group of 24 people and the restaurant could not have been more accommodating. I had the cheesy chili fries (a really big portion, more than I could eat). My friends had chicken wings and calamari and deep-fried pickles, all gluten free. One of the most pleasant dining-out experiences I've had in a long time. You need to treat yourself.
