Great Turtle Brewery & Distillery

Not a good place if you have celiac. Nothing to offer not willing to make accommodations. had to sit and watch my friends eat.

Went here based off recent reviews and wasn’t wowed by their knowledge or offerings. I asked my server what can be made gluten free and sandwiches, some appetizers like dips and meats, and flatbreads. I asked about allergy protocols for sandwiches/burgers, buns are toasted on same “roller” as gluten so just be sure to tell them untoasted or separate area if you order those. I didn’t ask about the flatbreads. I ended up getting the burnt ends appetizers and switched the naan bread dippers for kettle chips. Kettle chips are not made in house and were gluten free however I asked the server if they would get them from a different area to ensure no glutened gloves had touched but was simply told “I marked the allergy”. I assumed they wouldn’t be celiac safe so my family enjoyed them instead. The burnt ends themselves were delicious with or without the bbq sauce.

Great Turtle Brewing is a great option if you’re looking for a classic brewery vibe and food. The Mexican Street Corn dip was an excellent starter. It didn’t have much corn in it but was cheesy and delicious. The Wings were also quite good. We asked to have half and half of two flavors but they said they do not do that. We had to get the wings naked and then have side sauces for the wings, not the worst thing but just not ideal. The summer berry salad was very fresh and the dressing was excellent. The Brisket Mac and Cheese was fantastic! The Whitefish and chips was underwhelming for how much Whitefish is praised in the region. For gluten free options, they had gluten free buns for sandwiches. The buns however are toasted on the same roller as gluten so they are not celiac safe. We had the burnt ends with no naan which were excellent. The Peach cider they had was one of the best ciders we’ve had. Overall a good place to get a meal on the island! They have lots of large tables as well.
