Gluten free by the sea made the most delicious and beautiful birthday cake for my daughter in law who is gluten intolerant. It scored beautifully for her birthday party! Thank you!

Found Something FISHy through the @Find Me Gluten Free app, checked out reviews and off we went. It was the PERFECT welcome to the Wilmington area. I got fried shrimp w/ fries while my husband had fish, shrimp & fries. So delicious and ready quick. Fried to perfection! They have a gluten free prep area and dedicated fryer. We later found out that's where hubby's family has been eating for years.

If you’re a celiac, here’s your breakfast spot! They have a printed gluten free menu with SO MANY OPTIONS! The food was absolutely out of this world delicious, the staff were beyond kind and welcoming, the atmosphere is upbeat and fun! I have zero complaints. I’ll be back again every time I visit Wilmington!

Heather Armstrong

Amazing savory and sweet crepes, and best of all for me, all are available in gluten free. We discovered this restaurant when we visited UNCW with our son, and now that he is a student there, we make sure to visit Our Crepes & More whenever we’re in town. My favorites are the Monte-Cristo savory and the Mont-Blanc sweet, but really, we’ve enjoyed everything we’ve tried.

Janice Buck

The falafels are labeled on the menu as GF, but all food is cooked in a shared fryer. I had told our waitperson that I was GF and TNF and asked if my order was safe; I was not warned about the shared fryer. Safe if one can eat just a little bit of gluten.

Briana Keller

Delicious with gluten free options

Anouk Rising

Had the Gluten Free Detroit Style as a Jimmy Pesto and I still dream about it! Wowzah! The Jimmy Pesto needs to stay! It’s fantastic!!!!! Love the Bob‘s Burger reference too! Fabulous pizza and their gluten free pizza? OMG! BEST pizza.

Michael Ullman

I have to avoid gluten at all costs and this place provided a great selection of safe options. The food is good and the person taking the order was friendly and knowledgeable about the gluten issue and cross contact. Celiac Review

Monique Lucero

Highly recommend this place, the atmosphere is incredible and the staff is really welcoming. Having celiac disease(gluten allergy) limits me from eating out but this place makes me feel very safe. The food is amazing. shout out to Lora and Matt!!

Monica Romyn

Amazing food. Our waitress was amazing. I have celiac and she insured that the food was safe for me to eat. She went above and beyond

Theresa Mitchell

A Friend and I ate here while on a mini vacation. The staff are very friendly and attractive to your needs. I had the raspberry stuffed French toast on Gluten Free bread. With a fruit bowl. My friend had the bacon avocado omelet with fried potatoes. The food was amazing! The flavor was spot on. I love food that had a lot of flavor . If you are in the area this restaurant is a must!

Madison Lainhart

Fantastic flavors and wonderful gluten free options! They have gluten free waffle cones and even got me a fresh scoop for my gluten allergy! I got the lemon poppy seed on a gf cone and it was 10/10. :))

Ashley Balzer

Extremely cute little spot in downtown Wilmington with lots of a character!! Great lunch spot to grab a sandwich & is extremely allergy friendly! They had gluten free bread and all of their sides were also gluten free. Their homemade chips are seasoned so well & are so good, I’m still thinking about them days after our trip! Also - plenty of vegan options!

Krista Scialabba

There’s nothing better than a grilled cheese sandwich from Cheesesmith ESPECIALLY because they have GF options for those like myself who can’t have gluten. 10/10 all around.

Hannah Chitwood

We ordered 145 boxed meals from Jason's Deli for a teen day camp we were hosting this summer and it was perfect! Portion sizes were spot on and the dessert and pickle were a great addition. Prompt delivery and had all the extra condiments we could've needed. Also able to cater to vegetarian and gluten free requests was a big plus. Thank you to your team for taking care of us! Will definitely be using you again!

Cindy Bentley

Wonderful, knowledge on gluten free. Had tuna poke bowl. Smaller portions.

Toni Rauschkolb

Three10 is located in a lovely house with an open kitchen and a large outdoor space. The tables are well spaced so you never feel hemmed in. The staff is professional and attentive. The menu includes imaginative preparations for their dishes, one of my favorites is the black garlic Caesar salad. The special of the day was a striped bass over polenta with guanciale and puttanesca which my husband loved. The roasted oysters prepared with bacon, collards and cornbread crumbs are wonderful. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer and most dishes can be prepared gluten free. Highly recommend!

Savannah S

So second time coming and possibly the last… I’ve been here before and I really liked it. This time I was honestly SO disappointed because I was really looking forward to coming here because it’s like a special occasion. So about the food— I ordered gluten free pizza. It was soggy and falling apart. Flavor was good. Also ordered a burger with a gluten free “bun” however it was not a bun it was small pieces of thin sandwhich bread that when I picked up the burger it had been disintegrated in the container already. So the burger just fell apart. Honestly I really wanted to have a nice meal but nobody could really enjoy the food. So that’s my review it was good before but this time was bad enough to tell me maybe ownership changed or quality control got fired man I’m not sure.

Megan Jackson

Food and drinks were superb. I have celiacs and the chef marked on the menu what was safe for me. Awesome farm to table restaurant with unique dishes

oh Susannah

They have gluten free pizza crust and great salads! Yum.

Diane Bruneau

NOT GF. We were told they have no gluten free pizza so we left very confused after reading all the reviews. The pizza looked great! Wish I didn’t have to submit a star rating to communicate this!

William Goodnight

I just had a delicious meal at Carrabbas in Wilmington. A hard to find location, but wow it was worth it! The good food was especially enhanced by our server, Jason. He was great! I have to be Gluten free and vegetarian and he took the time and had the patience to help me make good choices. Thanks, Jason!

Chris Rogers

4 for us went for dinner. I have celiac disease. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about there menu and what can be made gluten free. I ordered the seafood stir fry under the chef's specials. It was absolutely amazing. I also had the fresh spring roll, Ajay delicious. The rest of the group ordered their regular dishes. Various appetizers and main course and all raved about how great, very tasty, and filling. I've been to several Thai restaurants and by far this is the best by far for celiacs.

Daniella Lager

We found the Black Sea Grill in our search for gluten free options in Wilmington - it did not disappoint! The entire menu is gluten free except the pita (which those of us not GF really enjoyed). The owner greeted us and waited on us personally. He was so warm and welcoming, and gave us great tips for things to explore in the area. We ordered tilapia and grilled chicken kebab entrees, which were delicious. The service and atmosphere were wonderful, and the location is in great proximity to the river walk and front street shops. Would definitely enjoy the Black Sea Grill again!

Madelyn M.

GLUTEN FREE when you eat the chicken salad without the crackers that come with the chicken salad scoops. The chicken salad and fruit were great and tasted fresh.

Katrina Jeffery

The breakfast was pretty good. My Husband and I got the grande classic and substituted the toast for a gluten friendly pancake.

Marc Mereyde

Amazingly delicious gluten cupcake experience!

Brett Mansdorf

At bar with buddy - Feb 2024. Mentioned a touch of celiac disease in an effort to have them remove the sauces from the vegetable and fish - unfortunately, came out completely unseasoned (gun shy) - nevertheless - the fish (salmon) was very good, and the asparagus was cooked properly - so all in all - very good and recommended - just ask for them to remove items you don't want but DO NOT tell them you may have an aversion to such items - as they go over the top. Still very recommended - with only reservation towards the mentioned... Had they done as I asked - oil and salt on asparagus and simple dry seasonings on the salmon - it would have been near 5 star. Buddies meal - Saltimbocca - was exceptional... See photos.

Charles Crawford

Great outdoor space for kids, gluten free option for my daughter and some tasty beers very friendly staff as well! 🍻

Kaitlin Spangler

What a great experience! We had my nephews wedding rehearsal brunch here and it was perfect. The food was delicious and came out quick! Everyone finished their plate completely. And it was beautifully plated. The restaurant itself is cute and the patio was perfect for our party of 25. The thing that made it so special was our server, Judah. He was fast, attentive, and so friendly!!! They have gluten free options, and vegetarian. As a gluten free vegan I order the oatmeal. Not very exciting but it was actually really good.

Casey Bennett

Mission BBQ catered our backyard wedding for 40 guests and we cannot say enough good things about them. Sarah made the whole process of choosing our menu so enjoyable and seamless. The day-of caterers showed up in a timely manner and were so pleasant and professional with our guests! The table was decorated beautifully with greenery and signage. The food was literally to die for and everyone was raving about it. Lots of gluten free options. Our favs were the ribs and the cornbread (and everything else of course). They pack up any leftovers for you to keep after the event and cleaned up so quickly! Highly highly recommend Mission BBQ for any event you need catered. (Photos by Atlanta Dahlia Photography)

Venessa Colmenares

Great recommendation!! Food was great, and so was the atmosphere. My drink...amaaaaazing! 🥹👏💓👍 #SpikedRaspberryLemonade #MinnieQuaterPoundCheeseburger on gluten-free buns, with mushrooms, lettuce, pickels, AND garlic fries!! 🫶❤️✨️👏

Aiden Johnson

Amazing!!! Can not recommend enough staff is so kind and the place is so clean and well kept. Great vegan and gluten free options that actually taste good.

JB Ackley

Excellent gluten free options! The calamari was very good. Unfortunately, the service was very slow for how low the occupancy was. We ended up getting ours to go since we sat for so long and just wanted to get headed home. The server admitted it was real slow and apologized.

Joanna Wilson

Great experience! We had the raw oysters, peel 'n' eat shrimp, and french fries. They were all very good but as a french fry connoisseur I can say that the fries were amazing. They even have a gluten free menu (limited entree options but still worth it imo). Plus the view of the river is great.

cornsnaketamer

Food was great and came out quickly... Easy to get a table lots of space for everyone... Have gluten free options... Also gluten free beers...

Faith Bruce

I really enjoyed our dinner here. Our server, Colin, was so kind and went over the menu with me since I have celiac and was very understanding while I tried to decide. I went with the garlic chili edamame and gluten free Sweet and Sour chicken. Colin even brought be a to go menu so I could familiarize myself for the next time we go.

Tony Camisa

My wife and I are NJ/NYC natives, and had my share of good Italian. Nicola’ is sold…meat, fish, or chicken you can’t go wrong. Plus homemade pasta. Last night I had my summer favorite…. Cavatelli with broccoli. Wine list is broad enough for anyone to find something they like. Wife is celiac, waitress understood what that means, and was totally accommodating.

Jesse Bolduc

We loved this place. Especially since they had gluten free for my girlfriend. Would definitely come back again.

Kacie Dubuque

Lots of delicious GF brunch options, and GF bread is available. They were very receptive when I reported it was due to celiac disease and brought my food out separate from the rest of the groups.

Carli Williams Meeks

We had reservations for 9 which was easily accommodated. The space and atmosphere was great. 4 of us ordered the butchers cut (14 oz ribeyes $45) and while they were all cooked correctly, mine wasn’t hot and they were all bland/didn’t seem to be seasoned at all and tough. My husband ordered the burger and they had a gluten free bun which was wonderful for him! The brussel sprouts and chocolate mouse cake was delicious! The server was great and the timing of food was reasonable. One reason we booked this restaurant was because they had parking on site in the parking deck, but it was full so we had to park really far away in another deck and walk which made some of our party late for our reservations so be aware of that if you’re having dinner there and not staying at the hotel.

Emily Johnson

I cannot possibly say enough amazing things about our dining experience at Seabird last night! I made a reservation online for 4 people. One friend was unable to join, so it ended up being three of us celebrating my engagement. When we arrived at our table, there was a congratulations note and an origami swam waiting for us- so sweet! Our server, Erin, was the best server I have ever had the pleasure of knowing- from start to finish, she checked on us frequently, was so kind and friendly that we all felt the warm fuzzies, knew the wine menu in and out (one of my group is a wine professional), and gave the most incredible descriptions of the food options that we all ended up overordering and enjoying everything! Food run down- - Shellem Wild Mussels- Unfortunately I was not able to try these as I’m allergic to an ingredient in them. My friend ordered them and devoured them! She gave a 5 star rating! - Fresno Chili Prok Ribs- delicious! I’m a spice wimp so they were a little hot for my taste, and my friend loved them! - Roasted Carrot Salad- what a treat! This salad had the sweetness from the carrots and carrot puree combined with a light dressing and thinly sliced limes. It was an incredible salad! - Smoked Catfish and Oyster Pie- we weren’t sure what to expect with this dish. It came in a bowl like a soup and had a baked topping on it almost like a pita/cheese layer. It was fantastic! It also came with herbs you could shred and add to it. - Shellem oysters- locally farmed, briney, so fresh! This comes with two different hot sauces, cocktail sauce, and another sauce along with lemons. - Eastern Cioppino- one friend is gluten-free and dairy-free. This dish was able to be made perfectly for her! She said this is her favorite dish to order, and our waitress said it’s the one she eats the most as well. Delicious! - We also had two cheese plates- a gouda and a blue cheese- that were delicious and great portions! - Then at the end, to celebrate my engagement, I had a scoop of lemon poppyseed ice cream! - Throughout our meal we also had a number of different glasses of wines. We were able to taste each one first, and Erin was amazing about splitting the glasses- we didn’t all want full glasses of wine, and you can’t order a half glass, so we would order a glass and be served two half glasses to share. Brilliant! Honestly, Seabird is probably the best dining experience in Wilmington. They also keep notes about what food and drink you enjoy so that when you return, the team can suggest items you may really like and keep track of things like allergies. The manager frequently checked on every table as well, and the entire team worked together seamlessly to ensure we had everything we needed at all times. We never felt rushed and were able to enjoy every minute of our dining experience.

Josef Schacher

Very accommodating to my girlfriend whom had a gluten allergy. Would highly recommend

Brenda Smith

Excellent service and menu selection. The gluten free bread was a little on the dry side and it is on the noisy side in the restaurant. Great choice for brunch with yummy cocktails. Highly recommend the green kale and lemon juice.

Aidan Barnes

I absolutely love this place. I have tried a wife variety of food from the menu and it has never disappointed. The pho keeps me coming back almost weekly. My partner has a gluten intolerance and this is a great place we are both able to love.

Sydney Hawthorne

Great menu with wonderful and clearly marked gluten free options. They also were very accommodating with outdoor seating and even had heaters on the patio facing the river front. The service was excellent too!

Kelly Blake

I love the variety in flavors and that there is vegan ice cream, but I wish they had sugar-free ice cream too. My mom is gluten and sugar free so she can't eat anything here without breaking her guidelines.

Jess Fortes

Love this place! I have celiacs dx and the staff here is always knowledgeable and so accommodating! We came in today with a good sized party. Liam was our server. He did I so great with our chaos 3 kiddos a bunch of extra checks and allergies. One of the kiddos spilled a drink. He was so chill and handled it all with such grace. Thanks Liam!

Dennis Royer

This place is excellent! Small, so you might have to wait. Let me save you some time... get the fried chicken. It is outstanding! Gluten free burger was excellent too (according to my wife) Chicken pot pie looked delicious.

Jen R

Great food. Love that they have gluten-free options 🩷
