Chicken tenders to die for fried pickles are from my dreams and they will fry anything on their menu gluten free. Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was out of this world and I actually have teared up many times from the taste of their amazing gluten free food.

This spot far surpassed expectations!! It was wonderful. I highly recommend the cauliflower pizza, even if you aren’t gluten free. It was warm cheese and the flavor was deep!! It was an amazing option on the menu. A gluten free delight! There was live music and it was a really wonderful musician which added a great ambiance. My friends also loved the shrimp and grits. I would most definitely field come back if I was visiting here again.

Great atmosphere with 2 different outdoor sitting areas and inside dining available. Chipmunks and birds are in the trees around making a fun experience for outdoor enthusiasts. My party picked this place with their gluten free menu options, as their are not too nay options in the area. (I don't just want pizza or pasta gluten free menu). I came twice through the week due to the lack of options. First day, I had a hamburger on gluten free bread, and the bread versus a bunch was disappointing. Doesn't really give it the same culinary touch. The taste was OK overall, they will only cook hamburgers all the same, not able to get medium rare, etc. My favorite part was the side house salad. Very fresh and a variety of mix ins, and a delicious vinegarette. Second time, I had a chicken sandwhich which was just OK also. Again, the read versus a bunch is too thin for everything on it and doesn't work well, but better than just a Lettuce wraps for sure. The dandwhich had good flavor overall and I enjoyed more than the burger. Upcharge for gluten free bread $2 and side salad $4 instead of potato salad. Which makes the meal more than I'd prefer. Swaps for true allergies and medical issues shouldn't cost the person more to not get sick.

*Review from three months ago that I put on Yelp but not Google.* Joanna, Joanna, Joanna, what a GREAT server! She was attentive, friendly, sociable. My husband and I stopped by here while on vacation to Florida, as he used to come when he was growing up. We ordered two bottles of Riesling wine, which is my favorite, but of course we never got to drink the second one so we got to bring it home. I ordered a fried chicken tender salad, and my husband ordered salmon with French fries…but here’s the shocker…my husband NEVER eats salmon if it’s farm raised, but our server, Joanna, convinced him to try it so he did and he LOVED it. We also ordered the gluten free chocolate torte for dessert and despite my husband saying he didn’t want it, he ended up eating most of it! Great food, and great service! Highly recommend.

Fernando has become like family! Always amazing food, especially the specials. They are always able to accommodate for my husband who has to have a gluten free diet.

I can't believe someone can give 4 stars to this place. Everything is gorgeous - the inside and a stunning view outside, the food is delicious, the assortment is huge, there are lots of gluten-free options, and the service is excellent! 5 stars only!

Gluten free grouper sandwich was amazing! They were busy but the server took a team approach and everything was great!

Jim Bentley

Amazing... fully catered to gluten and dairy allergy with many options. Breakfast sandwich was stellar with fresh prosciutto and sourdough bread. Potatos were perfectly done and seasoned. Alec and the chef came out and walked us through the menu, amazing service! Don't sleep on this place! Highly recommended

Kris Lucey

Great location, decent amount of gluten free options! The pimento bacon grilled cheese sandwich is spot on!

My wife and I were searching for a good place to eat in the Fernandina Beach Fl area, We had lunch at Down Under . They serve gluten free food choices, and we had a great time and the food was great also. We were honored to have Michelle as our waitress, she was very helpful with the order and made us feel so welcomed to be there. We enjoyed our visit! Thanks!

Patti Ashe

Food that i have ordered leans towards a little over cooked however, I have observed that is the southern way. Some gluten free items so I can return. Wish they had more gluten free and organic selections. Very convenient and busy at times.

Excellent food for dine in or takeout. The restaurant is immaculate and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpful when you do not know what to order. They have a vegan sauce that is gluten free and can be pretty much used for any dish. This is helpful if you have any dietary restrictions. Ample parking in front of the building.

Great food, and staff is very knowledgeable about gluten free / celiac! Highly recommend staying at the Ritz and dining poolside here.

The servers were the best! I have a gluten sensitivity. My waitress listened and made the best suggestions. While I am aware there is a risk of cross contamination, they did their best to accommodate me. They went above and beyond! Shrimp was delicious. Sweet potato was great. And the service was even better! Kept drinks topped off all the time. Great atmosphere!

Elaine Sanders

Location is amazing 😍. Food is great, Love the pizza and burgers. My husband who is Celiac is thrilled that he can have she crab soup which is unusual to find. They also have a gluten-free pizza he can have. We love the servers there. They're awesome, it just takes forever to get the food so don't go there if you're in a hurry.

This was my second time dining at The Tavern and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for dinner in the Fernandina area. I came here on a Wednesday (early evening) with a party of four. We were sat immediately and our server, Carrie, was wonderful! She checked in on us often, was attentive and very friendly. Definitely in the top best service I’ve had in the area. I had the drink of the week, a blackberry spritzer. It was light and refreshing. Not too strong. My entree was the 318 Chicken Sandwich with tavern fries. The chicken was nicely breaded (slightly dry). But the hot honey, pimento cheese, and red pepper jelly/relish all paired well with each other and gave just enough moisture that I barely noticed. It reminded me of a hot chicken sandwich you’d get in Nashville. The tavern fries were fluffy and very crispy (just how I like them)! Meal was a solid 9/10! I couldn’t help but have dessert and decided to go with the gluten-free chocolate torte. It was extremely rich and creamy. It was served with a slightly salty foam that cut the richness perfectly to keep it from being too sweet. As you can see, we dug right in and finished it in minutes - haha. 10/10! Overall a relaxed and fun atmosphere, wonderful service, and great food. Can’t recommend this spot enough and will be coming back soon to dine again!

I have a gluten problem. Finding something I can eat at a seafood restaurant is incredibly difficult. Things are fried or have sauces that normally contain flour. HOWEVER!! I ordered a burger with no bun. Now when I do this at other restaurants it's like it's a freebie for the restaurant to short change the size of the patty. This time I got a burger that was the perfect size as if I had ordered it as it is on the menu. This might not be a big deal to you but what I normally receive is the size you would expect on the children's menu. My hubby loved his "loaded burger". My sister-in-law and her partner ordered the seafood platter for 2 and loved it. Our waiter was friendly, polite, answered all our questions and suggested things on the menu we may not have ordered normally. He was great! All in all, we had a great time and the food was terrific! We'll definitely be back soon!!

Best meal of our trip. They can do gluten free shrimp and grits that made my wife very happy. The desserts were awesome!
