Felt a little rushed to order during our visit and didn’t specify how sensitive I am to cross contamination. Stopped our server to clarify and he reassured me. Ordered an NA strawberry daiquiri and he checked the ingredients and came back to confirm it is GF. I ordered the blackened grouper entree with twice baked potato and mandarin oranges. Separate GF menu. Slightly worried about daiquiri blender CC risk but had No issues after! Will be back.

Having lived on the Emerald Coast several years ago (before being celiac), the Back Porch was always a hit! Now, it still lives up to that reputation! Clearly marked GF menu online, and a good selection of options. Seafood Nachos can be an entree+ all by itself, fresh Gulf seafood including shrimp, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Amberjack, etc. Several sides are available GF, baked potato is delicious. For sandwiches, they offer an Udi bun with NO up-charge!! Ask for Whitney if she is serving, knowledgeable herself and able to offer other GF places locally.
