Top 20 Gluten-Free Bars to Unwind in Hilton Head Island

Tim Grooms

Handsome Sammy and I were out for a walk and suddenly realized that we have nothing for dinner at home and decided to try the Diner since we were only a couple of hundred feet away. I moved to HHI after living in NJ for 25 years, so my comparison to the original diners may have jaded my view. I tied Handsome Sammy to something stationary to prevent him from running into traffic and wanted to go inside, place a take away order as quickly as possible and back outside before my boy becomes restless. I walk inside and no one is seated at or near the register. I start to look around and finally a lady stands up from a 2 person table, looks at me, yet says nothing. I was not completely sure if she had just finished eating or is part of the staff. After a couple of seconds, I stated that I would like to place a take away order. She pointed me to a gentlemen that had multiple things going on at the same time but handling them all very well. He took the order and I mentioned having celiac. He mentioned that a friend has celiac and I could easily determine that he takes it serious and is very knowledgeable. I decided to take the easy route and ordered omelets for each of us. My omelet consisted of ham & American cheese. Handsome Sammy had ham, bacon and mozzarella cheese. Both included gluten free diner potatoes, which are the greatest. The gentleman that helped me out asked if I would like gluten free toast. I was a little hesitant, but once I realized how much he knows about celiac disease, I was fully at ease. He mentioned that he would include the gluten free bread without toasting it and taking a chance of cross contamination from the toaster and may be better if I waited and used my toaster at home. After overcoming the initial interaction with the first staff member, this gentleman was a pleasure to deal with and extremely knowledgeable. Omelets had a larger amount of ingredients, just like the Jersey diners. They were very good and we both enjoyed. I could not fully understand Handsome Sammy because he attempted to provide his rating while his mouth was full of omelet. Lets just say he picked the platter clean. Its time to return and move forward to other sections of the menu as long as the same gentlemen is working so he may guide the way. Photo of Handsome Sammy a short time after finishing his omelet. Seems like a positive outcome for Handsome Sammy as well.

We had lunch as a family of five when we first arrived to HHI. It was perfect to walk to from our hotel. We were seated quickly and enjoyed the indoor table since it was warm out. One of our daughter's has a gluten allergy (Celiac Disease) and did not have a reaction from her GF chicken ceasar wrap. Their menu is marked so that you can have an allergy safe meal which we truly appreciated! Thank you!

The food was really good! I’d go there again! We’re here on vacation and we’ll check it out next time we’re here. We had the mussels and clams as a starter and the sauce it came with (lemon/saffron) was awesome. As soon as we finished our starter the main courses came in as if they were waiting for us to finish. But, it was all hot and fresh, scallops and seafood pasta, yumm! Highly recommend! Gluten free options available and marked on the menu.

Came to celebrate my Bachelorette trip and this restaurant exceeded my expectations. I have Celiac disease and De Mario guided me through the menu and made sure to help me find the perfect dish. He was polite, knowledgeable and made the experience that much more enjoyable. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by Quarterdeck and asking for De Mario!

Excellent gluten free pizza

Great food and service. Staff knowledgeable about gluten free options. We sat outside overlooking the water. Possibly the best meal we had during our visit.

Amber Easterling

So many gluten free options listed on the menu! The lemon chicken soup was delicious as well as the chicken kebab plate.

Don’t eat here if you have a bad allergy. They don’t understand cross contamination and said gluten will “burn off on the grill”.
