Ordered gluten free on vacation and have now spent the past 2 days in bed. This was the one place i looked forward to eating at and now i regret every moment of it. Food was sub par at best for a party of 8. Very disappointed. Dont boast of gluten free options if you are not going to really care about the health of others.

Claim you can't do half and half larges due to staffing!????? Just say we want to sell you more small pizzas, let's own up to our greediness. Smdh. Oh and the gluten free pizza was horribly undercooked, it was like eating sauced dough. So the food lost my original 3 star rating.

Absolutely fantastic house made pizzas with hand-made dough. All pizzas are 10" individual size. You can pick from the "favorites" list or create your own from a fairly extensive list of sauces and toppings. They also have a gluten-free crust option, which my friend ordered and told me was incredible. It's definitely a beer place, but they do have a small selection of wine by the glass. The Peak is a casual bar atmosphere with a lot of local regulars. That, in itself, tells you a lot.

We got a chance to visit the Nautical Bowl's in Surf City, It's a super cute-looking beach-themed store serving some of the healthiest sorbet, smoothies, and butter jars. We tried the Big Island Bowl - Blue Majik, Acai, pitaya, mango, coconut, vanilla chia, granola, strawberries, goji berries, and hemp seeds, That's a lot to pack in a bowl and it's super healthy and heavy which can easily replace a meal for the day, and you can also customize your own bowl, It's organic, all-natural, essential vitamins, Plant-based, gluten-free, Dairy free and Soy free. It's absolutely the best treat which is tasty, healthy and super filling. They also sell smoothies and Peanut Butter, Cashew cacao butter, and Almond Butter.

Worth the price. Virtually every meal and appetizer is gluten-free except for the crab cakes. Our server was very knowledgeable about that. Our steaks were prepared as ordered. They were a little fatty, but not to the point of taking away from the meal. The loaded fries were HUGE and the chili I had for an appetizer was just the right amount of spicy. The dining room is a little loud, but not horribly. Had we had a bigger group, it would have been hard to hear. My wife and I liked it and would come back again.

There are lots of vegetarian options in the prepared food section. We bought 3 different pizza/flatbreads, macaroni & cheese, pasta salad, and a noodle bowl. We also saw some vegan/gluten free items. They also have a lot of delicious treats such as cookies, brownies, and pecan bars. We're so glad we visited; they had just what we were looking for and were very friendly.

I was very surprised and impressed with the selection of specialty ice cream that they had here. There are vegan flavors, Dairy free flavors, Low sugar, And many are gluten free. We were able to try as many as we wanted to! They even have an allergy list available if there are additional concerns. I loved that they have options and I love that we were able to try them! There is even a separate area for the dairy free ice cream. I would definitely recommend going to this place. The music is great.The atmosphere is fabulous and the employees were super helpful. We will be going back.This is our new favorite place!

Love that these meals are so healthy! As someone who is lactose intolerant, it is usually hard to find delicious food that is lactose free. I love that not only is it lactose free, it’s gluten free as well 😊

Philly cheese steak was excellent as was the service. Gluten free buns for burgers was a pleasant surprise. Burger was cooked too much initially but they did make it right. Will be back.

The food overall was good. I was glad they had a gluten free option with a bowl. I just wish the chicken was cut or diced it was a little difficult to eat with the bowl so I had to cut it to make it work. I also got the fries but they weren’t salted.

My wife has a gluten allergy and they were able to custom her order and even cleaned the grill before cooking. Above and beyond the call of duty! The Voodo tacos and street corn were excellent. Sit on the back deck, it's an outside beach them. I think on the top deck, you can see the ocean.

We were staying at a local AirBnB and picked up some fresh pasta (including gluten free), fresh pasta sauce, and desserts to make an easy meal. Everything was great tasting and easy to prepare and just like homemade. So glad we stopped by here!

Just amazing. I've visited Lobstah Shack twice now in 2 weeks. Had the Lobstah grilled cheese, Lil Lobstah roll, lobstah bisque, clam chowder and gluten free Lobstah bowl. All have been superb. Trevor, the co-owner, is really friendly and chatty. Beer selection on offer is very good. Highly recommend a visit.

Great custom handmade pizza, less than 3 minutes after order. Crust is crisp, toppings are high quality. Customer service is excellent and very helpful. Gluten-free crust ( Cauliflower) was a hit with grandsons.

This is my favorite place to bring out of town guests when they visit me. I am gluten free, but they have tons of options for non beer drinkers. Staff is always super friendly. It’s always clean and has great vibes. Trivia on Wednesdays is fun. Can’t go wrong.
