They mark all of their GF items as GS (gluten sensitive). They are willing to accommodate when they can, but there are a lot of fried foods here. They do have sides like mashed potatoes and salad that can be substituted for fried sides. I went safe and had a Jamaican jerk chicken bowl. It was absolutely amazing! They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as an indoor and outdoor bar.

We were thankful to be able to grab seats at the bar during a very busy Monday lunch service as the bar was first come first serve and some folks were just leaving as we got in. We had a delicious gluten free and celiac safe lunch as we made our way north. Ben was our bartender and server. He was friendly and especially knowledgeable about the gluten free options. We got the shrimp and grits and he suggested we get the house special, the lobster bisque, which we did. The bisque was delicious with developed lobster flavor, hints of sherry, and huge chunks of lobster! Ben’s service was excellent! He is well liked and has number of regulars which also stopped in for lunch! I highly recommend you stop by, especially if you’re gluten free and looking for some delicious lobster bisque and shrimp and grits!

A great waterfront restaurant with quite a few gluten free options. Most of the Chef’s Specialties are GF and come with roasted potatoes and green beans. There are also salads. Everything is cooked in a kitchens with a lot of flour and fried foods, so there is risk of cross contamination, but the staff is well trained.

This is a great place for oysters and steam pots. They list their GF options on their menu. Just verify the seasoning you get is gluten free!
