Top 9 Gluten-Free American Diners to Enjoy in Dennis

Linda Li

Really tough time trying out Clancy’s tonight. Overall, the food was expensive but reasonable (large portions, flavorful), but we had one of the genuinely worst service experiences of my entire life here tonight. From the start, our waiter Lery made our party extremely uncomfortable. One of our friends is celiac and has a very serious gluten allergy. When she inquired if there was a separate fryer for the gluten-free food (a typical question to avoid cross-contamination), he was extremely rude and said, “Doesn’t it say gluten free on the menu? Obviously it is.” When our food came out, he specifically called her out and said, “Wait for yours, make sure you don’t even look at anyone else’s, because yours is coming out RIGHT NOW”, in a joking tone, to continue to make fun of her dietary restriction. When she tried to clarify that this was a severe allergy and not a preference, he said, “Wow, she must be the mom, okay boss, okay boss”. After a series of other uncomfortable exchanges, another one of our friends asked if she could please get a Maitai. He looked at her and laughed and said, “You’re not old enough, no”. He continued to tell her she looked like a child, even though we were all adults in the room. He also asked if our other friend was okay, all because he had ordered two drinks in a two hour dinner period. After he said he was fine, Lery said, “Well I know I’ll be having four later tonight!” The last situation occurred at the very end of the evening. After these weird exchanges and targeted remarks, we were all very ready to leave. When he was bringing up the bill, he pointed at me directly and asked twice, “Where are you from?”. I should say that I was the only person of color in our table. After I told him, he said back, “I can tell YOU are not from around here”. When I asked why, he said that people on the Cape “look alike” and it was evident that I was different. All in all, such a disappointing experience when just trying to enjoy a nice dinner at what seemed to be an excellent restaurant. Extremely sad for our party to have received such unfortunate, unprofessional, and inappropriate treatment from a member of this wait staff. What an ugly ending to a beautiful night at a restaurant with a stunning sunset view.

The French toast is huge! Gluten free options were plentiful and safe. Servers addressed very friendly and the decor is charmingly Cape Cod style.

Very chill, local vibes spot with a vast menu of options for everyone. Everything that I have ordered is great…loaded fries with bacon, deep fried pickles, crab cakes, baked cod, mozzarella sticks, pulled pork tacos, all good! Probably the best Gluten Free meals that I have eaten on the mid Cape! Plus for all you non drinkers, like me, they have top notch zero proof mock-tails. Service is outstanding and the food is always consistently good. Just go. Hang out, order a lot. Enjoy!

Love to have lunch here when we are on the Cape. They even had gluten free bread for me!!

Bill Wong

What an awesome place. Views were amazing, especially the sunset view. Dinner was exceptional. We had apps of both crab cake and brussels sprouts. Dinner was the sea bass and cioppino. Dessert was the creme brulee. Many gluten free options to select from.

We recently planned a Bachelorette dinner out at the Pheasant. The restaurant was beautiful. Moody vibes, exactly what we were looking for. The atmosphere was warm and cozy on a rainy Saturday night on the cape. The exact feel we wanted. There was a lovely hum to the restaurant filled with happy people deep in conversations. The food was straight out of a magazine. We were encouraged to try plates and eat family style by sharing the plates from the center of the table. The food was so good, we enjoyed each bite. It was truly the exact foody experience we wanted for our Bride to be. For me the food was very delicious and bursting with flavor, probably one of the fanciest meals I have ever had. The menu of offerings gets larger as you read down the menu. So you could decide to order separate plates from the offerings towards the bottom. One of the major reasons we picked this particular restaurant was because it could accomodate our group's diverse dietary needs. The Pheasant was able to answer our questions ahead of time for Gluten Free and Vegan options. Sometimes one in the same and sometimes not. Something that is gluten free may not be vegan. The restaurant was able to accommodate us. We had a lovely experience.

I had the most delicious Gluten Free BLT on good bread with Gluten Free sweet potato fries and their exceptional Cole slaw (not floating in sauce yet with a truly delicious slaw flavor throughout!). Our waiter was exceptional and knew about Gluten issues! I am so impressed by Seven Days…fresh, delicious food in a lovely, welcoming atmosphere with great tableware and flowers on a sunny fall day. One of the very best restaurants in our area. What a delight!!

This is one of my son's favorite restaurants, and I can see why! It's extremely kid-friendly, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes families feel right at home. As someone who is gluten-free, I really appreciated the menu options that met my dietary needs without compromising on taste. The service was excellent—very friendly and incredibly accommodating. We always leave happy and full. Highly recommend for families!

Called ahead to ask if they have gluten free options and they said yes and also have gluten free bread. We get there and waitress say they don't have gluten free bread. Food was not that good.
