Top 39 Gluten-Free Seafood Havens Across Delaware

I ate the grilled blackened shrimp skewers (appetizer size with butter), The Chopped Salad, and I had crustless Key Lime pie, which was pretty big (to be honest). All were delicious! The rootbeer is gluten-free too (Maine Roots brand). Coke products served. Sorry no pictures, but it was all delicious. No reactions at all! I waited several hours before posting my review. I'm a highly sensitive celiac with a wheat allergy too. ❤️

We have never had a bad meal or bad service at this location and they just continue to get better every time we go. If you have food allergies or if you’re gluten free, this is the place for you. The manager Tiffany personally bring your food to you and will address any concerns you. It’s evident that Tiffany truly cares about providing a great dining experience. She is a true joy and one a kind. Our server - Lisa was equally as fantastic and helped with our gluten concerns and reward points. I wished she could have joined us at our table she was so personable! Can’t talk highly enough about this restaurant - this is our #1 spot at the DE beaches! On a side note their Ranch is home made and the best Ranch sauce I have ever had! Photos are of gluten free Chesepeake Tortellini and a gluten free chocolate and peanut butter pie to die for.

One of the best spots for safe, delicious gluten-free food! Staff takes celiac seriously, manager confirmed separate cooking for my food.Clearly marked menu (GF/GFO). Favorites: shrimp & grits, crabcake sandwich, and that weirdly amazing potato salad. Even my gluten-eating husband loves it! Our favorite restaurant in Lewes & Reho.

I had a great dinner here the other night. They do not take reservations so we had to put our name down to get seated. It was hot so we didn’t want to sit outside but they could have sat my party of four immediately if we wanted outside. We went to get a drink at the bar which was good while we were waiting. Like 15 minutes go by and we were sat. Thinking it would take 45 mins. Overall a quick turnaround time be sat. The waiter we had was nice and accommodated my sisters celiac disease very well. The food was alright. A little expensive for the lobster and crab salad which was not the best in my opinion. Overall a good dinner. Sodel rarely disappoints.

Favorite restaurant! They have excellent gluten free crabcakes! Thank you for that. Can't wait to come back.

Amanda Holcomb

The food was absolutely AMAZING!!!! They were also patient with our 3 year old and our service was great. I haven’t been in a couple of years and while it has always been great…. It was particularly amazing tonight! The ahi tuna nachos and the seafood boat were both amazingly delicious (like eyes rolling in the back of your head full of flavor) and the classic baked Asiago oysters along with the fresh raw oysters were phenomenal! I also LOVE that they offer the gluten free desserts. The flourless chocolate torte was phenomenal! Thank you!!

Sandra Sykes

One of if not the best Gluten free meals I have had.

We ate here three times this past week. We were staying at the hotel across the street and it was too convenient to pop in late evening and grab dinner and some drinks. Gluten free menu. Decent food and drinks. Very dog friendly. The servers were very nice.

Marguerite Davis

Surprise location on the Murderkill River. One would never just venture here, a true hidden gem. Good wine list, extensive cocktail selection, including a couple of seasonal apple cider jawns. we had a 2019 Louis Martini Cabernet sauvignon, an amazing calamari app, simple yet delicious red snapper with creole seasoning, oysters on the 1/2 shell from VA that were small, plump and creamy. Fresh swordfish and halibut and an unchopped ceasar. Helpful waitress (we asked a lot of questions!) There were mosquitos outside a dusk fell. It probably depends on the wind. We moved inside with no problem. Did not ask about Gluten Free options, but their fresh fish selection would have fit the bill. Next time (and there will be a next time) I will find out more.

Love it. First time ever. Went in was greeted and sat right away. Waitress asked for our drink order quickly. Having a new diet restrictions of gluten free restaurants have become more of a headache then somewhere to enjoy. But this place changed it. First question is there certain meals that are gluten free? Her answer yes we can make any of it gluten free. This made my night. Will definitely be going back. They even have a separate fryer for gluten free!

Came for an early dinner for my first time ever at this sodel concepts. Location the Wednesday before Labor Day weekend 2024. A friend who drove down from his place in downtown Rehoboth, picked me up & drove to cottage Cafe. We did not have to wait more than a minute to be seated. With a degree in hotel, restaurant MGMT myself, & over 30 yrs in the business, I'm always aware of how important it is, whether front of the house or back of the house, when it comes to the importance of first & last impressions. My normal very calm friend concerned me when after 10 minutes of us seated, me w/ my gluten-free menu, him w/ his regular menu, began to show a little bit of impatience on his face. An urgent look that I knew I needed to take action upon. B/c after more than 10 mins, we had yet to even be greeted by a single server or employee saying or acknowledging our presence, or anything like "we'll be with you shortly." Worse, 2 other tables in that far back room each were attended to w/ servers, 1 in what appeared to have a sort of server in training scenario. (In this time, they had not only given their drink orders but received their drinks & were now giving the servers their food orders.) I got up, rushed as quickly as I could to the front door where I found 3 employees, 2 young girls and one older, possibly sat us originally - not sure- but who immediately after listening to me, asked me to take her to our table, where she immediately did everything correctly to diffuse the situation & made everything worthwhile for the rest of our stay at that establishment. It's my thought that this woman more likely than not was the mgr on duty that night. I could be incorrect but I believe her to have either a reddish or Auburn style color hair.(Not blonde, not dark). Very excellent demeanor. Not defensive whatsoever. Completely wonderfully attentive & apologetic. Was able to take our drink orders and our somewhat complex food order with no issues whatsoever of forgetting a thing . When our server who was assigned to us did come to greet us: she did apologize very genuinely. And to let me know the french fries, although listed on my Gluten-Free menu, that it's in fact a menu error/ cross-contamination issue. Was very happy with the side choice that I went with- Your coleslaw. Which was/is just slightly better than the batch I tried when I had food delivered the night before from Northeast seafood and kitchen. I was really wanting to have salmon. But unfortunately that was not on the gluten-free menu. Your kitchen went above & beyond, Pan searing the jerk salmon entree to perfection except without the jerk seasoning per my request. My friend absolutely raved about his scallops entree- also raving about the seasonal vegetables, & happy that he could take home a little bit of each as he was unable to finish his entire entree! Always enjoy your homemade sodas- root beer is excellent! Wished that they were still available by the bottle but that's being nitpicky. It was a little disappointing, however that both at Blue Coast and at cottage Cafe stock was down significantly on the four options that were normally available. You were completely out of at least two of the options at both places. I guess I would have thought that the Wednesday leading up to a Labor Day weekend you would have had a full stock of all of the sodas. Looking forward to a time when I can try the...it was either black cherry vanilla or cherry vanilla soda.

Kaitlin Koch

Excellent food, friendly and efficient staff, love the decor and atmosphere. There aren't any specially designated gluten free foods, but I was able to find something that worked. Northeast is always a favorite!

Andy Lomax

Our second time eating here and we will keep coming back. Food is excellent - fresh, clean, flavorful. Prices are reasonable. Service was top notch. Our waitress (Megan) was simply the best...she absolutely took care of my wife's celiac needs and was just a delight to talk with. She should be highly valued by her employer. Campfire cake! Save room for that one!

Lydia Hall

DIFEBOSSSS!!! My family came here last night and had the best time. Our waiter Julia was so kind and funny. She knew the menu top to bottom and was able to give us recommendations for every person. She even had tried all of the mocktails and could recommend drinks to our underage family members. We sat on the outdoor patio and highly recommend it, fantastic atmosphere. Between the soft Italian instrumental music and delicious bread and olive oil, we felt like we had been transported to Italy. All of our drinks and food were amazing. The flavors were robust and you can tell these home cook recipes have lasted since 1989 for a reason. They are DELICIOUS! We recommend the Chicken parm, anything in the Bob’s sauce or Vodka sauce, (although everything is great) and for dessert we LOVED the tiramisu, chocolate mousse tarte, and espresso martinis. This place is great for gluten allergies despite the gluten heavy cuisine! This has become a staple for us now when we visit Bethany. We can’t recommend the grocery store enough across the street as well! We have been getting coffee and pastries for breakfast on vacation there for two years now!!! We love you difebo’ssssss

The food was great One suggestion is that you add more Gluten-free options.

Holly Fettinger

Yum! They had a ton of gluten free options! These scallops were amazing, sweet, and crispy on the outside (just the way I love them). The outdoor seating was perfect for the cool May evening, hope to be back again on my next work trip.

Eloy Morris

Marcia O'Toole

Interesting, delicious, and beautiful plates and cocktails. Vegan, gluten-free and mocktail options offered.

Jay

Great food 😋 gluten free crab cakes made my night. Ty 😊 🙏 we will be back!

Tom Stank

This was always our go-to crabcake spot in the area. Unfortunately in June you changed your recipe to a gluten free only option due to using a scallop mousse filler. The resulting taste, texture, and consistency of the crabcake is subpar for the price paid. The other menu items remain the same quality as we have come to expect at Matt's. Unfortunately we are now forced to search for a new favorite seafood place.

Michael Black

Great customer service. We were a party of 14. The manager and waiter were courteous and accommodating. Two of our party are gluten sensitive. The manager personally discussed food choices and explained how their meals would be prepared. Everyone enjoyed their meals, seafood and other. It's a small restaurant so it might be crowded in the summer but we went in October and got right in. Definitely, a place to try again and again.

Sharon Pole

First time here and we had a wonderful time. The service was excellent and the food was all exceptional. Lots of gluten free options the server can help you with. The tuna tartar was fantastic and the gluten free crab cakes were delicious. The fries are so good.

Sandra Sykes

The atmosphere on the water was great, parking was horrible and it definitely is not Gluten Free friendly in the least.

Bob Banks

Rick K

Took our nephew and his daughter there to eat. Nephew is gluten free. They were extremely accommodating to him. My wife got the cod, she said it was delicious.

Jim Young

Good food. Great atmosphere. Kept me gluten free.

Carol Irvine

Yummy gluten free crab cakes...we got carryout but waiting for the food, I could see them seating people and enforcing spread out tables and social distancing and mask wearing

Dayna Tirado

Gluten Free Crab Cakes!!!!!!! Need I say more? A great little local diner with fabulous service. We will be back.

Lisa H Ambrose

Very pleasant outside dining in a covered area with a center bar. Friendly atmosphere, relaxed and good food. We appreciated their flexibility to offer an alternative, gluten-free solution for the fish tacos when asked.

Sharon Pole

My biggest frustration that you should know about is the credit card service fee. Where have restaurants started to get away with charging their customers for a business expenses. If you're going to do this you need to put it on your website so I can choose not to come. All that does is reduce the amount I'm going to leave as a tip which isn't fair to the server but I'm sorry I'm not paying your restaurants normal business expenses. Now for the actual review. I came here for the first time with my husband and another couple to celebrate my birthday and the birthday of one of our friends. The service was great and they were able to accommodate my gluten free diet so that's a plus. We enjoyed a bottle of wine and a few cocktails all which were good. Appetizers were good and soup was a big portion and very good. Here are the areas that could have been better in addition to not changing a credit card fee. The steak my friend ordered was a small portion compared to everyone else's meals which were quite big and his steak was overcooked. When that feedback was provided I would have expected the restaurant to do something to make up for it. He didn't want it redone but when a meal doesn't't come out as ordered some sort of compensation should be provided. My meal was big but a bit bland as was my husband's. We were celebrating two birthdays and offering us a drink or dessert would have been the classy thing to do.

Leonard Read

Wish they had more gluten free entrees. Food is excellent.

Tracy D

Absolutely delicious! I'm gluten free, and the waitress pointed out the menu items that were gluten free, or could be prepared gluten free. Both meals were cooked to perfection. Best broccoli salad I've ever had.

Kelly Simpson

I love red Lobster my only complaint was they did have house salad only Caesar. They have plenty to choose from for gluten free.

Dr. Debra Berke

Able to accommodate my glutenfree diet easily.

Hi Ya

I was in search of a restaurant locally that may offer gluten free options as my spouse suffers from celiac disease. I searched online and stumbled across Beaches Seafood. My spouse has been craving crab cakes and I read a review stating that Beaches offers a gluten free crab cake option. I read through the reviews, some were not so great and some were amazing, despite the negative reviews we decided to give it a try. OMG! DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS! Beaches is a gem. The crab cakes are amazing! We would love to try more of the menu however cannot get pass how amazing the crab cakes are. The atmosphere is very inviting and the staff is amazing (we've been a few times now). Pricing is very reasonable. If you are looking for an enjoyable and friendly spot to eat that has great food, don't hesitate to try this place out.

Joan Hill

Seafood is delicious. Steamed clams, potato salad and coleslaw excellent choice for me with celiacs. Crab cakes the best but not gf.

Sally

Nice coastal ambiance near prime Rehoboth Beach location. We liked the bar and had good service. The entire staff was professional and courteous. Our group enjoyed the crab dip appetizer. The prime rib dinner was delicious (but I was hoping for more shrimp). The mahi tacos were really tasty. Hoping that the menu expands with more gluten-free options (no GF appetizers...) but we appreciated the staff's knowledge of the menu. They run some good specials so it's worth checking their website to see what's available.

Allison Fahrenbach

Okay- so this place is a GEM. My husband and I were on the prowl for good seafood and we were absolutely not disappointed. I had the sautéed scallops and sautéed shrimp on a salad and let me tell you, the seafood was amazing. My husband had the stuffed flounder and he said it was the best he had ever had. And the service was exceptional, the young man who took our order was incredibly friendly and accommodating. I’m gluten free so I had a lot of questions and he was very knowledgeable! Made sure he got my order right. We will DEFINITELY be coming back! Thank you for an incredible and delicious experience.
