Top 17 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Port Aransas

Honestly a money grab for mid service and not great food. Crazy fees. Server was knowledgeable about celiac disease and helped with gluten allergy menu.

A cute restaurant with scenic outside seating. Great margarita and service was very nice. A word of warning for those who are gluten- free. I ordered the gluten-free Cobb salad, and it came out with a big pile of croutons. Another menu item marked gluten-free had a soy sauce based sauce. Making it not actually gluten-free unless you tell your waiter to leave off the sauce. Might not be the safest option for those with sensitivity or celiac.

Had a very enjoyable meal. One of the owner's is a celiac so the restaurant can completely take care of anyone in your party that needs that. I had the lime and coconut drink. It was not your standard tiki drink and was excellent, not to sweet and all natural. Big frozen thing, perfect for a summer beach visit. It is a little pricey but you get what you pay for. FYI, Port Aransas is a mess on the weekend with all the people coming over. Every decent restaurant on the island is going to be jammed with drunk partiers and cranky kids. The staff will be maxed out. Don't hold that against whatever restaurant you went to. If you want relaxing, go during the week.

So good. I have to eat gluten free, I was here a couple of years ago and I enjoyed it then, it was even better this time. We had a friendly server who was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Wish I could give 3.5 stars. Very cute atmosphere. The kids loved playing and running in the lawn. The pizza took a long time, was burnt and didn’t feed 2 adults. But the gluten free crust was good, minus the burned parts. Our 2 kids under 10 ate a whole pizza. We had to order more food that took even longer to come out. The margaritas were terrible which was very disappointing bc they were featured and recommended. Service was pretty good and all the staff was helpful and nice.

Really, really great burger, so flavorful. It was also super helpful to me that they had a gluten free bun option!

October Taco Margarita Trail. Number one 5 star of all restaurants so far. Great portions & delicious Tuna Tacos ... did lettuce wrap tacos for my gluten-free wife, also a generous side of rice & black beans. Margarita was yummy!

Great pizza and good place to eat if you're on a budget. Many expensive, or overpriced places to eat in Port A, so this place is a relief. They have craft beer and cauliflower pizza for the gluten free visitors.

So glad we found this spot! Finding gluten free options can be a challenge, it was nice finding (delicious) GF pizza and tacos on corn tortillas. The design with multiple food types makes it easy for groups to all have what they want. Also there’s a full bar! This is the perfect hang out spot at the beach. The bathrooms are so clean and well air conditioned.

This was our second visit to PA and to Castaways. We loved each visit: from the greeting to the service, the atmosphere and the food. We visited over the 4th of July weekend. It was busy, but was to be expected. We visited the quaint little shops next door. We didn’t know there was a whole “hidden” garden area in the back with some amazing shops/people. (If you haven’t been to Flip Flops back there, do so :-). ) the stores were full of beautiful clothes and other items... many of which are unique to the area. (Much different than the “island shops” closer to the main road - even though I love those, too. These were refreshing.) Our waitress, Jacque, was amazing, despite the rush. She was careful to tend to my allergy needs (seafood restaurants can be a tough place to get gluten-free items but she did it) she brought my plate first/separate from the rest of my table, so as to not cross contaminate. The shrimp & fish with coleslaw and veggies was amazing <3. We will definitely eat here again on our next visit. :-)

The food was quite good. I was sad that there weren't more gluten free seafood dishes (stupid Celiac's). However, the excellent margaritas made up for it. The atmosphere was quite nice and the service was decent.

WOOWZERS ! The hostess was leading our foursome to the table & another worker brought salsa & chips to table BEFORE we were seated! MENU WAS HUGE! I was able to find EXACTLY what I was able to eat GLUTEN FREE! THE food was AWESOME & CAME QUICK! PRICES were RIGHT ALSO!!!
