Top 18 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Carolina Beach

Ashley Balzer

We visited Michael’s Seafood Restaurant during a recent trip to Carolina Beach. I have Celiac Disease, so it’s really important to have somewhere safe to eat while on vacation. Michael’s blew us away!!! Not only were the meals safely prepared & clearly marked on the menus, the servers were very knowledgeable & the food was outstanding! Our server let us know that they prepared everything separately and that there were no fryers, so I even got to have some tater tots with my blackened mahi sandwich. It was so good, we went back multiple times on our trip!

We ordered pick up and had high hopes. With the overall reviews being good we thought the pizza would be good. We waited 65 minutes for our order to be ready and got our pizza back home. The cheese pizza with pepperonis and bacon looked fine just odd that there was pizza sauce on top of the toppings. Then we got to the gluten free and I had hoped with such good reviews it would be good but it was burnt and rock hard. And again there was pizza sauce on top of the all the toppings not under which were not sure about. So if you have gluten restrictions I’d suggest opting for a grocery store freezer pizza

Excellent sushi rolls & bowls with very friendly owners. Has gluten free options.

Heather Albrecht

The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten-free allergies. However, if you have other allergies, you really have to be precise. The weight staff is great.

Sarah Myer

We grabbed takeout from here during a beach trip. They had gluten free and vegetarian options so it worked for us. The salsa bar was really fresh and had a nice selection of options. Food was good- nothing spectacular but it was filling.

In the context of a hot dog place near the boardwalk at the beach, this place is good. Especially considering we require gluten free items Nauti Dog had us covered. The hot dog buns, the fries and even the cherry tart hard cider were all good and gluten free. The location, seating (metal seats, no padding), and atmosphere (open dining room, concrete floor) were all reminders that you were at the beach and there to chill out. Oh yeah, the food was very good.

I wouldn't recommend this place if you have a gluten allergy. They tried to accommodate my 8yo daughter but wouldn't make her anything other than a cheeseburger with a gf bun. My fish taco tasted fishy. Our drinks came out around when our bill came, and it was a stressful environment. Our waitress was delightful but overwhelmed with tables. You can park across the street, but why would you want to. Hang Ten down the street was Waaaayyy better. I'm already getting a stomach ache as I'm writing this. And our bill for two adults and one kid was $87.00, including a 20% tip.

The pulled pork, beach burger, sweet potato fries, and piña colada were all delicious. They even have a gluten-free bun and a great selection of yummy house made bbq sauces! Madison took great care of us on the rooftop deck. Would recommend to anyone looking for a yummy after beach bite.

Sara Earle

Beautiful, delicious food. Gluten free tamari available. The Nigiri is called Sushi and the sushi rolls are what you'd expect but all is divine. Perfect for lunch or dinner by the boardwalk (which otherwise offers mostly fried/greasy type foods)

These guys were absolutely fantastic! The catered food was delicious (and plentiful), the staff was friendly and discreet, and THEY CLEANED EVERYTHING UP AFTERWARDS! Oh, and Forrest was a frikkin' ROCKSTAR! It's even gluten free. Do this and you'll make your whole group happy

Kelley

Gluten-free options include the usual egg-based breakfast dishes. Breakfast potatoes aren't GF, either. No dedicated GF space. They can help you navigate what's safe on the menu. Service was great.

We chose Salt Fish due to the impeccable reviews and were not disappointed. Everything we had was phenomenal, with some special unique flare. Even the collards on the side of my pork chop were notable and delectable. The servers Maggie and Miranda, and the host (sorry dude, didn’t catch your name!) all worked seamlessly together to ensure a pleasant experience, particularly ensuring my wife with Celiac was well-aware of any potential issues with gluten. Maggie is grateful for the pre-gored pineapples, and Miranda will sleep better seeing another positive review! Highly recommend reservations. The place is pretty small.

Riley Glissendorf

WOW! This was a class act dining experience! First of all, Sarah took amazing care of us. The scallops, mac and cheese, and hot honey fried chicken were delicious, as well as the sparkling lemonade and sea salt caramel martini. We dined quickly, but were not rushed, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Will definitely be stopping again and can’t recommend enough! Great gluten-free options!

Mackenzie S. Wetherill

So friendly and accommodating. Great sandwiches. I love how they work with us on gluten free needs.

Sierra Jensen

Absolutely loved this place! Our waitress Tess was so awesome, and so knowledgeable about the menu! Her suggestion of the grilled chicken was perfect for me. I can’t have gluten but I didn’t have a problem with the grilled chicken basket or the fries. Great food options for my toddler as well! The other family members without dietary restrictions got the po boy scrimp and the Reuben and the scrimp BLT and a burger and they all LOVED their food! So glad we found this place! All in all, would totally recommend and come again!

Wow! We read a good review on Google and thought to give it a try. Exceeded all expectations with the juiciest, best flavor, burger I have had in more than fifty years of traveling and eating great food. Top shelf bacon, great toppings, super fat and tasty crinkle fries to compliment the burgers. Gluten free option (lettuce bed) was equally awesome as my burger with bun.
