Top 12 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Isle of Palms

Laura Moffett

Best shrimp and grits I have had in a while. Also, the waitress was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and the service was fast and very friendly.

I have celiac and wanted something gluten free. Came at dinner and had the gluten free burger! Wow! The gluten free bun actually stayed together! Which is rare!!!! The gluten free carrot cake was to die for!!!! I was so full but kept eating! It’s not common for me to find a good gluten freer burger or dessert and tonight I did! So happy! Ask them to make sure to toast your bun! You’re welcome!

Great for lunch or dinner! All of their fish dishes can be broiled. They have quite a few salads and all of their sandwiches can be made without the bun. The Salmon BLT is amazing! They do not have a dedicated fryer, so no fries or sweet potato fries if you have celiac.

Elizabeth Howlett

Excellent service! They did a great job accommodating our gluten allergy. We had the hush puppies, burger, steak, flounder, shrimp and drinks were all good!

Morgan Boushka

Very disappointing they have gluten free crust but it’s not celiac safe due to being done in the same oven/surface so risks cross contamination.

Excellent breakfast croissant! Egg, cheese, and sausage. Fresh bakery goods. Coffee good. Gluten-free muffins! Not labeled, but reassured by the owner / cook.

Papi's was recommended to us by a stranger on the beach. We looked up the menu and let me say, they have THE best ALLERGY FRIENDLY, including GLUTEN and DAIRY FREE menu! (See pic.) I sent a picture to my MIL bc she hates onions! You'll understand when you see the menu! So, my bestie and I walked to dinner, and luckily we got there early so there wasn't a wait. (Get there early.) We were seated immediately by the front door. Me, being the observer that I am, noticed the total occupancy is 39 people max. Note: it is a very packed tight restaurant. Don't be afraid to get cozy! I also noticed there were 3 levels. Level 1: dining, level 2: more dining, level 3: patio bar! And then there are tables outside for some more dining. They do have bar seating as well. Weaving through tables and a high top, you'll find the restroom on the first level. Let's talk about food! The chips and guacamole were awesome! The chips are made in house and made with corn, so definitely Gluten Free! I highly recommend. If you like salt, these crispy chips are just right! My friend and I ordered the sesame seared tuna taco. I ordered mine gluten free, she ordered hers without any special requests. The size wasn't too big, in fact, they were the perfect size especially if you're going to order more than one. (Which I recommend!) I take one bite and being super distracted by the amount of people coming in, I didn't notice that my taco was on a flour tortilla. I pick up the taco for a second bite and immediately realize what I had done. I let the server know that the taco was on a flour tortilla as I rushed to the restroom. I was not upset with anyone but myself. I am so careful! I guess the people watching had me so distracted. The server said there were more restrooms upstairs, but then a gentleman exited the restroom just in time. Let me say, the GM and the servers were AMAZING and so KIND. They apologized and said they should have caught the error. I felt terrible because I should have caught the error. Some could argue that it's their job to ensure the food comes out as ordered, but cooks, chefs, servers, GMs are all human. The GM took care of everything for us, which was very kind. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant for Gluten Free, dairy free people!

We struggled to find gluten free options on the resort and our waitress Laura asked all the right questions and was so kind, and made us feel so comfortable. Not only that, our drinks were the best we have had for the whole trip. Overall, such an amazing experience and we will be back!

Before taking the 🐶 dogs to the beach 🏖️ my husband and I wanted to grab a little bite to eat so we decided to stop into this little pizza joint on one of the main streets in Isle of Palms 🌴 The lady (so sorry I forgot your name-YOU ARE FABULOUS ) behind the bar was absolutely amazing. She was friendly and very attentive and offered some great suggestions for lunch. 👍🏻👍🏻 Ultimately, I had the gluten-free white pizza and hubby ordered the personal 10 inch pepperoni and green pepper pizza.🍕 YUMMY 😋 and drinks 🍹 of course!! We sat outside on a beautiful sunny ☀️ day…the outdoor area is wonderful! Clean bathroom 🚽 and fresh food! Did I mention the AMAZING mozzarella cheese 🧀 sticks!! Wow 😮 so good!!! Great experience! We definitely will be returning when we visit the area again!!

Overall, pleased with the late dinner. Nick was friendly, kind, and very courteous. The food runners didn’t really know which table food was supposed to go to — a concern given I told them about a food allergy. I ordered the shrimp app gluten free, which ultimately meant no bread substitute. 😕 Still, it was really delicious, flavorful, with just the right kick! I also ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were good (but surprisingly a bit more dry than I expected?) Cocktail was strong and enjoyable.

Hannah was AMAZING! I have Celiacs and she was SO understanding and accommodating, not to mention SO sweet. I got the “Old Bay Fish Tacos” without the tortillas and the seasonal veggies. My husband got the fried “Sampler Basket”. He said that the breading was light and fluffy, without being overpowering. My deconstructed tacos were delicious!

Shelley D

The grouper was delicious and my husband, loved the mahi-mahi! We needed gluten-free and they accommodated that! The only thing I think they should do is get a better recipe for the coleslaw, That wasn’t as good as expected. But the drinks were excellent, and our waiter was very friendly!
