Top 15 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Surf City

Ordered gluten free on vacation and have now spent the past 2 days in bed. This was the one place i looked forward to eating at and now i regret every moment of it. Food was sub par at best for a party of 8. Very disappointed. Dont boast of gluten free options if you are not going to really care about the health of others.

Great atmosphere. Lots of gluten free options

Absolutely fantastic house made pizzas with hand-made dough. All pizzas are 10" individual size. You can pick from the "favorites" list or create your own from a fairly extensive list of sauces and toppings. They also have a gluten-free crust option, which my friend ordered and told me was incredible. It's definitely a beer place, but they do have a small selection of wine by the glass. The Peak is a casual bar atmosphere with a lot of local regulars. That, in itself, tells you a lot.

Philly cheese steak was excellent as was the service. Gluten free buns for burgers was a pleasant surprise. Burger was cooked too much initially but they did make it right. Will be back.

The food overall was good. I was glad they had a gluten free option with a bowl. I just wish the chicken was cut or diced it was a little difficult to eat with the bowl so I had to cut it to make it work. I also got the fries but they weren’t salted.

My wife has a gluten allergy and they were able to custom her order and even cleaned the grill before cooking. Above and beyond the call of duty! The Voodo tacos and street corn were excellent. Sit on the back deck, it's an outside beach them. I think on the top deck, you can see the ocean.

They have gluten free marked on their ice cream menu which is exactly what I came for. Butter pecan and the bourbon ice cream is what I got. Very delicious

Just amazing. I've visited Lobstah Shack twice now in 2 weeks. Had the Lobstah grilled cheese, Lil Lobstah roll, lobstah bisque, clam chowder and gluten free Lobstah bowl. All have been superb. Trevor, the co-owner, is really friendly and chatty. Beer selection on offer is very good. Highly recommend a visit.

For the past five years my husband and I have had a tradition of eating at Beauchaines 211 while at Topsail. It has always been a wonderful experience and I have never had an entrée, appetizer, or dessert that was less than fantastic. This year I have yet another reason to love this restaurant. After developing a severe gluten intolerance some months earlier, I have become very reluctant to eat any food I have not prepared myself. However I really wanted to try to keep up our vacation tradition. I called ahead to ask questions about the menu and food prep, and the management was very knowledgeable and reassuring. When we arrived, we were greeted by the manager to go over gluten free menu options and to answer any questions. All the staff had been notified of my gluten sensitivity and they even based the evening's special around a gluten free entrée. My food was prepared in designated gf cookware and the manager brought it out personally to prevent cross contamination. The kindness, understanding, and care of the staff was fantastic, and the meal was UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING by any standard. This is my first restaurant experience since becoming so gluten sensitive where I have not had a reaction. So very thankful to all at Beauchaines 211.

Always impressed with my meal at Deli Works! Just had the avocado & bacon omelet with gluten free toast and it was superb. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Gluten free pizza is divine. Great beer and wine selection too! Must try this is you’re in Surf City. Quick walk from Surf City Pier.

Matthew Carter

Great burgers and fries. Did a very good gluten free lettuce wrapped burger.
