My sister has a gluten allergy and the staff was incredibly rude when we inquired. They advertise a whole GLUTEN FREE fry options but the fryer isn’t a separate fryer. So why advertise it as GF and then get rude when asked about it?

Stopped in with a family of five and really enjoyed it. Huge selection of gluten free fried foods. We had the lobster roll, GF fried calamari, chicken finger and fries. All were very good.

My family of 5 visited here on July 4, 2024. We feared it would be an overpriced tourist trap- we were wrong! The line moved swiftly despite the holiday crowd, and the cashier answered our questions without making us feel rushed, They were able to easily accommodate the vegetarian and the gluten-free members in our group. We sat on the back patio watching the amazing view of Casco Bay and were able to have a comfortable conversation as the music was not overbearing despite the speakers being right near us. Our food was absolutely delicious! We all raved about the freshness of our dishes and how crispy and perfect the fried items were. My gf bun was one of the best I've ever tasted! The only reason why this review did not get perfect stars was because despite ordering together; two of our group received their platters a solid 15 minutes before the other three of us, which impeded on us all comfortably dining together. Also, having never been there before, we found the different dining levels a bit awkward to navigate. However, small gripes for a fabulous meal. With food that good and versatile; we will definitely be back!
