Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille

I have a gluten intolerance, so we requested gluten-free menus. We were sitting at the bar, so the bartender, Beccy, took our order. I ordered the orange ginger shrimp and hubby ordered island style shrimp and grits. I asked Beccy to ask the cooks to be mindful of cross-contamination. She asked what I meant. That was my clue this could go south. She said she would highlight gluten-free. Yeah. The food arrives and I am so excited! The food was delicious. I was so happy. I didn't eat anything else all day. I was stuffed. Then, about 3 a.m., it hit me. I was so very sick. Obviously, the staff has no idea about cross-contamination and the consequences of such actions. I hope management sees this and educates the staff. This is totally unacceptable. We would have been weekly customers but will not be back. Do better!

From the time we walked in a met our hostess - Alicia - we knew this was going to be a great first time here. Then we got Alex (Alexandria) as our server who was spot-on knowing about gluten free menu items, staying on top of things like bringing water and clearing dishes, etc. The food was awesome and the price was perfect. Love it here.

Beautiful site by Bay Pines and Veterans Park. Great selection of apps, entrees, sides, drinks and many Gluten Free choices from main menu. Zoe, our server on a busy Sunday was unflappable and always there when we needed her, and made it a great experience!
