Not the biggest on-tap selection, but a good spread of cocktails, wine and beer available. Theservice was a bit slow, seemed like they may have been understaffed on the day of our visit. Still, the servers that were therewere very personable and pleasant.

The server was new and lovely, and everyone around us was raving about their food too. I can?t wait to have a reason to drive to the city again tovisit Side Hustle.

Great food. Great location. Great atmosphere. Great service. If in Dartmouth make sure to check it out. If in Halifax it's worth the short water taxi ride across the harbour and the 2 minute walk up the hill. You will not bedisappointed.

We very much enjoyed our Buddha Bowl with egg, crispy chicken and vegetables and we split a bottle of house white wine. The food was wonderfully seasoned andproved to be plenty in one order for the two of us to share. The energy in the restaurant was great, and the service kind andattentive. As my partner said, ?This was not a ?destination restaurant,? but a lucky find that met all our needs.? Highlyrecommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Smashies and Mac Fries, hands down our favourite burger in town. The new location is super cute and very welcoming! Our server, Gen, was awesome, and wecan?t wait to join you again! Thank you, Gen!

The bun is great and holds together well. The restaurant also has a designated gluten-free work station now.

The staff were very knowledgeable and mentioned that about a quarter of their customers have celiac disease. I tried the incredible gluten-free fried chicken sandwich with a tasty bun and cheese fries - it was the best gluten-free meal I've had in a while. They also have dedicated gluten-free fryers!

The staff is well-informed and I have never encountered any problems here. While another review mentions that the food can be overly salty, I personally do not enjoy overly salted dishes, but I have never experienced this issue with my food at this restaurant.

I figured because of the seperate fryer and the reviews and gluten free on the menu that this would be a safe place for me to get some food with my brother and his friends. Unfortunately, i was wrong. The food was great, but any crliac or gluten intolerant person knows that it is not worth it.

Before I was celiac I ate at McDonald's and put an entire salt packet on my fries. This was too much salt. Otherwise so extremely good. It's unfortunate. The fries and brownie dessert had too much salt added after cooking. I would definitely come back and try asking for less salt. I had the fried chicken burger and garlic cheese fries. What. A. Chicken. Burger. Wow. My celiac daughter had the Mac fries. I would get those next time. They tasted exactly like a Big Mac and weren't as salty as mine. My husband got the Smashie burger and garlic cheese fries. He said it tasted exactly like Macdonald's too, which wasn't nearly exciting for him since he can still eat there. His fries were also too salty. The fryer here doesn't have any gluten in it I was told, so no chance of cross contamination that way. The buns tasted like Udi’s. Sauces were delicious. Atmosphere was fantastic. Service was awesome.

That was rectified later.The atmosphere is very nice during the day, bright, lots of plants, etc. But at night it is incredibly loud to the point you cannot have a conversation with the person next to you without yelling (which makes it worse for everyone). This may be the vibe they are going for, but it's not for us. We will stick to lunchtime visits or ordering.Food tho was super yummy!!

The atmosphere was buzzing, and it was great to see. The food was delish, as were the drinks. The service was friendly but very slow, even for a full house standard. I'll definitely go back. Hopefully, it'll be on a less busy night.Price range reflects a meal, and 2 cocktails with tip.

The noise level is quite high due to the tall ceilings and reflective surfaces. I visited with a group of three during a moderate rush, and we found ourselves nearly shouting to communicate. The service was also slow. As a former bartender, I understand that there are often unseen issues behind the scenes, but we were seated for nearly 20 minutes without even being able to order drinks, which is unacceptable. The burger is priced at $15 before tax and tip, and fries are an additional $5, which seems excessive to me. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food because we decided to leave. While I’m pleased to hear that others have had better experiences, I doubt we’ll be returning.
