Top 50 Gluten-Free Seafood Havens Across Florida

Doreen Catoni

Quaint rustic restaurant with some of the best food. Most of the dishes are gluten free and full of flavor. We had lobster bisque, shrimp tempura, shrimp and grits and the shrimp rice bowl and finished off with key lime pie. All full of flavor and portion sizes are generous. Highly recommend!!

Sara Bixler

If you want amazing fried fish, check this place out. I haven’t had fried fish since I was diagnosed with Celiac (about 6 years ago). It was amazing. A nice crispy light batter made with brown rice flour. It was great!

Sarah Melvin

Food was very good but the music and service was more of an issue. It is already very busy and very loud, and adding a live band was not a good idea. We had to shout to hear each other, the toddler I was with wouldn’t eat her food until the breaks in between songs due to her covering her ears cause the music was so loud. Server dropped one of our meals and it took another 15 minutes before it came back out. We had a gluten free meal that came out around 15 minutes after everyone else’s food. Wrong sides with some meals as well. But being next to the water and slightly outside has a nice vibe and atmosphere.

Chris Jett

We have eaten here 20 to 30 times. Always perfect for celiac people. Many options. Great place. Food drinks,

Dr. Abby Kramer

Ok we found this place by accident while shopping and holy cow! I’m blown away. I so appreciate a restaurant that is so thoughtful to have no seed oils and so many gluten free options! I’ve been gluten free for 15 years and sometimes you just really want fried fish! My dreams came true with the gf desserts too!! A MUST stop location for anyone who is health minded or has food allergies. Our server was STELLAR with Porter! He was amazing. We will Be back again and again!

M Lapehn

Went twice, two different dinners. Almost everything is GF, they have a disclaimer on CC, knowledgeable and instilled confidence when I asked questions and ordered. First dinner I had popcorn shrimp and fried pickles. Delicious! Went back on our last night for a blackened grouper sandwich on a Udi bun, with kettle cooked Bay chips. May have been my favorite meal. No issues after! We will definitely be back!

Ed Pyszka

Great food. Ok service. Lots of gluten-free options.

Brenda F

Blown away by my experience here! Alex, our server, was amazing! FULL of energy!!! very knowledgeable about the menu and best options for his diners. I got the bacon cheeseburger on a GF bun and fries. the bun was great! Didn't crumble like most GF buns do and actually had a good flavor! As I was finishing up my meal I got a visit from the owner, Chris. We talked about GF food prep and cross contact and he gave me a personal tour of their kitchen. He showed me they have a separate storage space for GF foods, separate freezer for GF foods, separate prep area for GF foods and separate deep fryer for GF foods! All staff have been thoroughly trained and the kitchen staff have been provided with everything necessary to prevent cross contact. I am so impressed! And deeply grateful! McKenna's will be our new Go-To for eating out! Wish I had taken pics to share with you all. You'll just have to go by and see for yourselves. You won't be disappointed. 😊

Maggie Martin

This place was phenomenal!! My daughter (12yo) and I both have celiac disease and had to eat there after reading the reviews; We were in absolute heaven and will definitely be returning there ASAP.Eddie was our server and took such good care of us; He was very knowledge and so sweet. There were so many options for us- including fried foods that we NEVER get to eat!! Couldn't beat the atmosphere out on the porch overlooking the water and everything was delicious and more importantly.. safe. ❤️

M Ace

Mike Magnuson is amazing!! He made sure my gluten free needs were addressed while making sure I didn’t feel left out or different! He was super attentive and helpful, he even helped update the membership information! Definitely someone I would request in the future! He took the experience to another level! Thank you so much Mike!!

Deb Johnson

Staff was very accommodating of my gluten free needs. Food was amazing

Carmen Crosby

I just wanted to say thank you to our waitress (wish I remembered her name) and the kitchen for the care they took last night in ensuring my toddler was safe, and providing ample variety for him to eat that was gluten free. I felt like whatever I asked for, even if it wasn’t on the menu, they made happen. Gluten free pizza, pasta and bread for the cheese and meat board. Everything was delicious. My mom got to enjoy her pork chop again for her birthday! Just as delicious as the first time! My CRESTE DI GALLO was amazing! Definitely not what I was there for, but so happy our waitress recommended it. She was great, knowledgeable and made our experience that much better. Pretty girl with braids on the smaller side. My moscato was nice and crisp, not flat. Nothing tasted, or felt gluten free. Start to finish an amazing experience last night! The bill was 160$ for our table. Which wasn’t bad at all for the variety we got.

TJ Sprankle

First time here 2.15.2025. Greeted by our server, Paige. She was good - did important things like keeping the water filled and involving Brandi the manager when we mentioned my wife had severe gluten allergy/must eat gluten free. The food and the atmosphere (sitting on the water with a nice breeze, waves crashing, and beautiful design aesthetics at the restaurant), literally couldn't have been better. For that I kind of understand why the food takes a while to come out (we were there about 30 mins before we received our apps) - it's an experience and you don't want to rush. At least I hope that is why it took so long. :) The price of the meal was expected since we had lobster, apps, crab cakes, and the wonderful location. We paid about $65/pp without alcohol and dessert. We will be back.

Sydney D

10/10. Amazing food. we all loved our dishes - grouper tacos with the orange cilantro sauce… lamb chops… pork chops. All incredible. Our server was very sweet as well. Very accommodating for gluten-free. So glad we found this spot!!!

tamie mcmurray

Food was delicious. They even have a Gluten-free menu (Minus deserts 😩) they handled my gluten and my sea food allergy beautifully. The waiter even made sure my plate was handed to me before he handled the other plates at the table that had sea food.

Nichole Waddill

Costa was the best! He was informative of everything on the menu. Plus, very accommodating of my gluten free allergy. The food was also amazing! Some of the best seafood and desserts we’ve ever had!

Angel Schinze

Would rate a 20/10 This restaurant had absolutely delicious food! We went 3 times while on our vacation because Salty Papas has the ABSOLUTE BEST customer service. I have never felt more safe as a celiac while dining. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and they go out of their way to make you feel safe about ordering fried foods. Amy and Stacy D were our servers and gave the BEST customer service. In today’s world customer service is few and far between but this place is DIALED IN!! I would recommended this to anyone—-food allergies or not! They make you feel like you’re at home!

Jessie Blake

Amazing service and food! My kids and I are gluten free and there were several options for us. Yucatán shrimp and the mahi mahi were 10/10

Annabelle Eaton

I’ve always loved Peg Legs - great deals on oysters throughout the week and delicious food. We like to sit at the bar when it’s busy and don’t want to wait for a table. They took my gluten allergy very seriously and had a separate gluten free menu and had a manager come talk to me to assure me. Highly recommend!

Jennifer Davis

I can not say enough good things about this place! I have celiac disease so it’s hard for me to eat at restaurants most of the time, but our server was wonderful she was very knowledgeable about my allergy and brought me a dedicated gf menu. We went on a Friday night and sat upstairs our server was exceptional. I was able to have fried shrimp from a dedicated gluten free fryer that were so amazing I could cry…Seriously! The shrimp were large, fresh, and very well seasoned. Don’t miss an opportunity to eat here!

Diane R

A surprising amount of gluten free options. Actually sandwiches! Not "gluten free sandwich = wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun," actual gluten free buns and bread. I got a fish sandwich and fries and they were absolutely delicious. As a celiac, I'm always weary of eating out and getting contaminated but I had zero bad reactions after eating here. The location is wonderful, right on the pier. Sea views out of every window. Wonderful sea breeze on the terrace. Great tunes and very friendly personable servers. Really fun place to eat some delicious food!

Melissa Clem

The vibe and service here are amazing. Great spot for a date night. Awesome vibe. We ordered the gluten free (!) calamari (devoured before i could take a picture), filet mignon, and salmon crudo. My celiac requests were taken very seriously and I was able to enjoy a phenomenal meal. We also tried the Figgy Old Fashioned and The Pearl cocktails. Highly recommended!

Amy Carpenter

Amazing gf selections. Again most of the menu could be made gf. We had fish, shrimp and chicken tacos, and crab cakes all gf and so good. They were super knowledgeable and helpful about menu information. We went around 5 and it was easy to get in but noticed by around 7 the wait is really long.

Lori Sheroan

Our family had no complaints-picture perfect views, ribeye cooked to perfection, delectable gluten-free dessert! If you want a lovely dining experience with polite, friendly service, go to FOOW. You won’t regret it!

Steven Ahonen

We came to the keys for a week and found this place for gluten free diet and the pizza is great. I’m not even gluten free but my girlfriend is and I even love their gf pizza crust

Liz Satkowski

Great gluten-free pizza and amazing service!

Mel Pac

They were marked closed and the website didnt go to the menu page. Just fyi. Hope its temporary, sounds amazing!

Brandy Mason

This was a fun place to eat even if the food had been “ok”…However, the food was AMAZING! We have Celiac Gluten free family members and they were safe here. Will it miss a chance to go back anytime we visit! PS, we thought “the best key lime pie” was marketing, but it really is the BEST.

Heidi Vieira

Had the gluten-free Chicken Mandalay. I really liked it. The service was great and the atmosphere was worthy of calling it a romantic date. Go ahead and go!

Leah Drake

I am gluten-free, and this restaurant came highly recommended by friends who are not. But so many items on the menu were marked gluten free and they provide gluten free bread if you ask! The bread was crunchy and delicious. I got the shrimp and risotto, and my husband got the fish (Triple Tail) special. Seriously, amazing. We couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was.

Donna Semadeni

I really appreciated the gluten free options at this restaurant. The waitress was wonderful. The food was great and the view amazing.

Kristy Bess

We had the best experience and our server Chianne was wonderful and knowledgeable about the menu. We had the surf a turf and the lollipop lamp chops. It was all amazing. The environment was wonderful and I loved my blueberry martini which included actual blueberry purée! Our table had a gluten allergy and Chianne was understanding and helpful when it came to making sure we had gluten free meals. Overall, this is my new GoTo fine dining restaurant and I will definitely be going to sit at the bar and enjoy and amazing signature cocktail while I watch the fish in the beautiful large aquarium!

Caroline Hunt

We loved this charming restaurant . I ordered the gluten free fried shrimp with fries. My family enjoyed a burger, Philly cheese tacos, and shrimp tacos, and swordfish. Everyone’s meal was hot, fresh and delicious. Our server was cheerful and very attentive, and the bussing crew even helped us out with some extra sauce. This spot hit all of the vacation vibes we love. It was very clean, and had a gorgeous outdoor seating area. We felt like it was an upscale Old Florida style restaurant. It celebrated the culture of the past and present 30 a. There were also charming little shops and we appreciated that they took reservations. The menu was more limited in store than we expected (based on previous research), however our food came out delicious and perfect. We highly recommend.

Antonio Souchet

Wonderful atmosphere for families and even business launches with lots of gluten free options

Chris Lundquist

Gabe was very knowledgeable about the precautions of celiac disease. Really helped us out with our options and the food was great! Will be back for him.

Daniel Smithurst

Absolutely amazing place to eat. Especially for gluten free!! Their homemade pasta is gluten free!!

Mark Hatlan

Delicious food and our server was wonderful. Blue crab cakes, hush puppies and cornbread (pictured) were absolutely delicious. If you eat dinner in this area this is the place. yes you will wait for a table, we waited 30 min starting at 4:50 pm for a table of 4 on a Saturday. They also have a separate gluten free menu.

Colby Troyer

This place exceeded expectations. Excellent food, drinks and service. We started with raw clams and spicy margaritas and then had two pasta dishes for entrees. My partner is gluten free and they offer gluten free pasta which was great! Everything tasted and was presented beautifully. Serving sizes were very generous - I took at least half my entree home! Our server was friendly, professional and quick. We will be back!

victoria Ackerman

Alan was a phenomenal server. Food was excellant, well priced!! Fresh seafood, gluten free options.. wonderful house salad dressing!

v miller

what are the few places in Pensacola Beach that has gluten-free options

Kimberly Aldworth

I highly recommend Manta! Everything on the menu is outstanding. Amparo was our waitress this evening, and she went above and beyond to ensure my food was gluten-free, as I have a wheat allergy. My friend, who has a shellfish allergy, was also well taken care of. The food, atmosphere, and service was exceptional!

Delaney

Delicious! Had gluten free buns and seltzers! Great service.

David Skul

Everything about this place is great except the prices. Food was great. Portions were stingy. If you are going to charge $20 for a pizza it had better be loaded. 9$ for a small snifter of kombucha? $58 for two skimpy 14” pizzas, lemonade, and kombucha. Also up charged for gluten free 2$. Come on. Seriously? Then add 12$ to tip the waitress what she absolutely deserved. $70 for lunch. Do not appreciate the gouge.

Daisy Santos

Fresh, flavorful, and gluten-free paradise! This place offers a wide variety of delicious gluten-free options that are bursting with flavor. The ingredients are fresh and the dishes are prepared with great care. It's a great option for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone looking for a healthy and tasty meal. Highly recommend!

Justin Rupp

I got the chicken curry and was impressed by not only the flavor, but also the portion size. Always love eating here, most of the menu is gluten free and the staff is always knowledgeable. If they ever are unsure of how something is cooked they know to ask the kitchen about cross contamination.

Kim Leatherwood

I have a gluten allergy and was very impressed by the care taken by Pete and Hannah to ensure I had a gluten-free meal. Great service!

Amber

We visited Speaks Clam Bar for dinner at 5pm and were able to obtain bar seats without a wait. The bartenders provided attentive service, displaying notable friendliness and a commitment to excellence. The drinks were impressive. We chose the scallop special, which was decent but lacked distinction you would expect with a “special” dish. Due to my dietary limitations, including dairy and gluten intolerance, I experienced difficulties in finding a suitable menu option. However, the staff exhibited remarkable adaptability, accommodating a lunch menu item. The Mediterranean bowl was great!

James Bauer jr

This place is fantastic and the food was absolutely amazing. I had yellowtail snapper with potatoes and green beans, it was super well prepared, 5 stars. They have a very nice gluten free menu, which worked out nice for my wife. Oh, I had the pineapple cake with hot Carmel, it was yummy!!!!! I would go here anytime..

Corie K

We enjoyed a delicious meal that was safe for my two very sensitive celiac kids. The wait staff is well versed in what is safe and not! I 100% recommend eating here!

Laurie McDonald

This place is AWESOME!!!!! Such a great surprise in Crystal River. Food was delicious and staff was amazing. Two of our guests had celiac disease and there were many choices to be had. I will come back again when I visit. We had the Branzino, shrimp and grits, gluten free grille dcheese, fish and other things I can't recall.
