Chick-A-Dee of Lewiston

First time getting food at this establishment. My sister and I are both gluten intolerant so this review really pertains to such consumers. Lots and lots of options- we ordered the Mariner plate for lunch. It was take out so we ate at home. The scallops and shrimps were excellent, the fish was really good. Finding tasty gluten free food can be tough. Our issue was with the French fries. Restaurants that serve gluten free food can sometimes not refresh their oil as often as they would for normal food. That is our guess- the fries had a strong, unusual odour so we both ate only a couple and we both felt unwell afterwards. I would guess that the oil is rancid- everything else was tasty so please folks, switch your oil over for gluten free food more often. Thanks

I always order takeout here since my husband gets takeout at another restaurant nearby. The food has always been great! I like the food here because of the large gluten free menu. When I order seafood I always ask for the lunch size which is plenty for me. The last 3 times ordering I’ve paid for the dinner size and probably received dinner size, but ordered lunch size. This last time if my husband hadn’t verified if it was gluten free I would have had a meal I couldn’t eat. He had to wait an extra 10 minutes for a new batch. Again it was the dinner size which is fine, but not what I ordered. In the meantime his food he picked up was now cold. I recommend when ordering over the phone have them read your order back to you and verify the price. Also verify when picking up you get what you ordered especially if you have dietary restrictions. The online menu prices have not been updated for quite some time and are off by quite a bit. We requested a takeout menu to keep on hand.

Classic family restaurant, of the sort that you find all over Maine. The food consists of familiar staples done really well, service is friendly, and the drinks are reasonably priced. What set it apart for me is how much of the menu is gluten free by default (although definitely ask your server to confirm, as always) which means dietary restrictions can be accommodated without having to compromise on where to eat. That’s hard to find in this area. There’s so much selection that everyone can find something they like.
