The owner is Celiac and they take cross contamination and food prep seriously

This place is a pub with a bunch of regulars who hang out there to watch sports. The waitress was very friendly and there was a gluten-free menu with lots of options on it. I'm not sure about cross-contamination in the kitchen though. I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. It was a real treat because I haven't had something like that in a restaurant in over 15 years. Very tasty. No symptoms after or next day.

This is my favorite place to go. They have a separate area for food preparation and a dedicated fryer for gluten-free options. There is a variety of choices on the menu. I'm not a big fan of the burgers, but the wings are absolutely delicious.

After a long day of traveling to Thunder Bay, we were starving. It was already past 9pm when we finally arrived at our hotel, and most places were closing up for the night. On Deck appeared to be the only restaurant still open. Luckily, the bartender Casey, who has Celiac disease, was very accommodating and put our minds at ease about our dietary concerns.
