People are saying

Their menu says they have gluten free fry dishes (steak frites, feta frites) and when I called ahead, they said they were very conscious of cross contact and had a dedicated fryer. When we arrived, the waitress (Mary was WONDERFUL) informed us that the fryer is indeed NOT dedicated. Therefore the fry dishes on their menu, marked GF, are not. We ordered the burgers (chicken AND beef) with GF buns and were disappointed in the charcoal bricks we got on both counts. The aioli was okay and maybe the only saving grace. We were also served a gluten bun on one of the burgers ordered gluten free and luckily were paying attention to each plate. Again, the service at OUR table, with Mary, was amazing and she was honestly wonderful. But that's the only thread that kept us there. We will not being going back, and are not optimistic on how we are going to feel as the night progresses.

I’m gluten-free and dairy-free. This puts strict limitations on where we can eat when we travel. We loved Sand Dollar! It is a cozy place with a deceptive amount of seating. I ordered the GF cioppino (with good gluten-free garlic bread!), and my husband ordered the halibut fish and chips special. They both presented nice and were delicious. I ordered a pear cider on tap that was very good. The views outside were amazing, and so was our server who had conversation with us even after they had closed for the evening. The Sand Dollar is right in central Rockaway Beach and was convenient for where we were staying. During the off season pretty much everything closes at 8pm (even in Portland) so be prepared!

Quaint restaurant right along the ocean in Rock Away Beach Oregon. We had the house made clam chowder as an appetizer and it ranks right at top of a good clam chowder. It was creamy, but not pasty and it was gluten free. I then had a Cheeseburger with fries and was excellent. My wife had the gluten free chicken tacos. The restaurant is located right on the beach by the ocean and the view is awesome. The servers were very friendly and courteous.
