Always visit a few times a week when we are on the island. Always knowledgeable and the entire family enjoys while keeping our family member safe.

Surviving of unsuspecting tourist! The gluten free pancakes were nasty, very dry and tasteless. I got then banana foster and that was plain uncooked banana’s with whip cream and plain syrup. My husband ordered seafood omelette and their seafood is not fresh. His shrimp was hard! WOW! This place was a mistake. The waitress did not present well either. Your better off going to IHOP!

Excellent! Our family of five loved everything that we ordered! We have a daughter with a gluten allergy (Celiac Disease) and she enjoyed the fried shrimp so much! She is always so excited when there is a dedicated GF fryer to enjoy safe, fried GF options. She had no reaction afterwards and asked to go back again. Thank you!

Food and service was wonderful. I came here a few days in a row on my vacation! The waitlist was accurate and gave me flexibility to walk around. Also - I have celiac and the menu was extremely easy to navigate as someone with an allergy!

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.

This is always our first stop for lunch when we get to HHI each summer. Last Saturday, 8/3, they were down staff and had a busy lunch crowd. We watched both waitresses absolutely hustle the entire time to make sure everyone continued to have exceptional service. They were both so personable and took time to chat with us even though they were slammed. They even went above and beyond in still making a gluten-free version of their banana cream pudding for me, which I know took extra time and effort. We’ve loved Low Country for years because the food is always amazing, but this year, the service was equally as impressive. Thanks for always taking care of your customers and making one of the best gluten-free desserts on the island!

I got a breakfast sandwich to go with gluten free bread. I made it clear it wasn’t severe and just needed the product gluten free. My brother who ordered with me received his pancakes within 10 minutes. 25 minutes later I checked up on my order and when the woman said she would check up on it she instead went to eat a bite of her snack and then came back and said “they’re working on it”. After waiting for a total of 35 minutes they said they had accidentally put the sausage in the fryer and asked me if that was okay in which I said it’s fine. I get home to eat my breakfast to find all that they put on my sandwich was the egg. I paid almost $20 for a Diet Coke, two pieces of bread and an egg. Not to mention the $9 entrance fee to get onto the grounds. To add no one even apologized about the wait.

One of the best meals we had on the island. So many gluten free options. Very friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Ate outside and found it very comfortable and clean - even in the rain!

Allison Osborne

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.

Kyle Schmaltz

Great find. Right off the road so plenty to watch. Super nice outdoor patio. Love the gluten free options that they take very seriously!

Zero savory options for gluten free breakfast and 3 choices of dessert Shouldn’t really be included here.

I talked with the owner and they can’t guarantee no cross contamination but the wrapped items are safer than the protein balls that have gluten free items but may have cross contamination. Very good quality items, though, and a go-to spot for me.
