Top 49 Gluten-Free Seafood Havens Across Maine

Jacqueline Loiseau

Amazing spot! The GF IPA was so good we went to buy some at the liquor store after dinner! My husband and I had the burger and pizza and would never guess they were both GF!

Seammus McGrath

Our bartender was amazing! The oyster selection was great and my girlfriend was very happy with her gluten free fried fish sandwich (with no upcharge on the gf bun!). I had the beet cured steelhead trout on special and it was beyond my expectations. This was my 5th or 6th time here and every time the level of service and food always exceeds the last.

John Hardies

Happy to report that Saltwater Grille has Orange Bike Brewing (GF brewery in Portland) on the menu and a full menu of gluten free fried seafood options! Great, quiet spot with good food.

Becca Olach

Found a gluten free option for lobster roll, so happy we came here!

Matt Frazier

Ordered take out, a simple burger on a gluten free bun with onion and fries. That's it. Didn't get the GF bun, the burger was almost raw and the fries were so soggy they were almost mashed potatoes, they also had a strange chemical taste. Meal went right into the trash, not driving all the way back. Been here a few times before and the BBQ is hit or miss. This will be the last time I order from here.

Katie Rusher

Thoughtful menu and delicious meals. Great service from Emma. Don’t skip the delicious (gluten free) peach cobbler cheesecake!

Milan Barlov

Good if you’re have celiac. If you’re not move on

David Stock

One of the few seafood places that you can take your gluten intolerant friends! Very good seafood!

Scott Bryant

Unbelievable GF lobster rolls and other seafood options. They take serious care w/ Allergies

We got lunch to go, everything was just awesome! Being a celiac, it's really hard to find safe take out and this was perfect.

Joseph LaChance

Dedicated Gluten Free Fryer/Kitchens space. Love the Sea Basket!!!

Jen Willis

First time here, despite multiple visits to Freeport, as we only live an hour away. Menu had a lot of options that appealed to us as my husband is GF due to Celiac. We were excited & decided to try Linda’s instead of our usual restaurant choice. Unfortunately, half way thru his haddock melt he pulled a black hair out of his mouth! Instant spoiler. He couldn’t even eat his fries & coleslaw after this. Waiter offered a free dessert, which is a difficult option for someone with Celiac Disease and his appetite now gone from the disgusting hair. Paid for a meal that half of it was wasted. Won’t take a chance again. We will stick to the Bistro Grill for dining when in Freeport

I was very excited to have a gluten-free bun for a lobster roll. Another person at the table loved the lobster poutine. Highly recommend!

I always order takeout here since my husband gets takeout at another restaurant nearby. The food has always been great! I like the food here because of the large gluten free menu. When I order seafood I always ask for the lunch size which is plenty for me. The last 3 times ordering I’ve paid for the dinner size and probably received dinner size, but ordered lunch size. This last time if my husband hadn’t verified if it was gluten free I would have had a meal I couldn’t eat. He had to wait an extra 10 minutes for a new batch. Again it was the dinner size which is fine, but not what I ordered. In the meantime his food he picked up was now cold. I recommend when ordering over the phone have them read your order back to you and verify the price. Also verify when picking up you get what you ordered especially if you have dietary restrictions. The online menu prices have not been updated for quite some time and are off by quite a bit. We requested a takeout menu to keep on hand.

Delicious gluten free lobster rolls!

Hannah Marrcarr

Absolutely delicious. Made fried haddock and shrimp that my 3 toddlers devoured. Their bang bang shrimp special was delicious, and it was amazing to have fried pickles and onion rings gluten free!

Ion Balaurea

Large Selection. Super Fast and Friendly service. Gluten Free Option Had the Lobster Roll and Shrimp Roll Both were delicious. Large portions One is enough for two usually. Depending on what you buy,

Benjamin Senecal

The Butcher Burger did a great job cooking the burger. The toppings went together well and produced an overall good experience. They offer gluten free buns that are a good size and taste good. The table seating is only outside with all the indoor seating being either at the bar or facing out the window. The inside does smell a bit smoky with all the cooking happening in the building, so you may want to eat outside if that bothers you.

This place is #1 on our list for trips to Maine. We actually drove 4 hours because of how fabulous Stones Throw is. The food is sooo good. We’ve had several meals here and made a second trip just weeks apart. We booked the Nevada and never left the block. The best gluten free bread my sweetheart has ever had. Lobster rolls called us back! You do not leave here hungry! The portions are too much! And the bill….i checked to see if they forgot to charge something that we ordered. It didn’t seem like enough. What a great place with sensational staff!!

Dena Wade

I wanted to rave about this place because they have gluten free items on the menu and it is hard to find an Italian restaurant that offers this. I was impressed that they offer gluten free bread for dipping and for the bruschetta appetizer, which I had. The bruschetta tasted good, however the bread was a little soggy. The salad that came with our meals was delicious and the highlight of the meal. Because they offered gluten free lasagna I decided to try that but I was very disappointed. There was hardly any meat in my serving, the sauce was meager and not very tasty and I wished I had ordered something else. My husband wasn't impressed with his entree, either. However, my brother-in-law loved his chicken alfredo so I would go again and order one of the other intriguing items that I thought about trying before giving up on this place.

Stephen Erlandson

Great food with many gluten free options. This is the world's best lobster pier. Friendly staff with an efficient system of food prep and delivery.

Best GLUTEN FREE LOBSTER ROLL. Hands down, the best GF Lobster roll in New England. They use a locally baked buttermilk bread for an open faced style lobster roll. The lobster is FRESH and a very generous portion, and served with butter on the side for dressing your own sandwich. The bread is toasted to perfection. We waited about an hour in line despite being there when it opened, but it did not disappoint. The staff makes the wait more enjoyable with a PA system sharing frequent updates and fun facts, and when you order the staff is so engaging and kind. They care about every customers experience and it shows!

Katrina Georgiou

Delicious baked lobster, generous portions, and gluten free options!

Cory Edwards

Delightful little locals spot with fresh fish. Service was a little curt, but get food makes up for it. Got the salmon reuben and was completely blown over by it. Spectacular. Even better was the crab bisque. Spicy and warm. I need it in my belly!! Best one I had in Bar Harbor. The haddock tacos my wife got were super meh. Skip unless you need flavorless tacos. But she loved the clam chowder. Daughter liked her blackened salmon sandwich. Gluten free options everywhere including a great GF chocolate ginger cookie.

Donna D

Website showed same menu as other location, but when we got there it was a limited menu. Wine $16 a glass, really? Gluten-free bun on fish sandwich was too big, no tarter sauce on fish sandwich, overcooked fries. $100 dinner disappointing.

Rick Freeman

Perhaps the best pizza I have ever had. Definitely the best gluten free one. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Peter Viscarola

Very impressive place. The service we received was exceptional (thank you Sandra)… knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive without being the least bit overbearing. The food was AWESOME. After a week here in Portland, I had filled up on local haddock and cod and lobster… so I had the swordfish which was *excellent*. Servers on a bed of cassoulet beans, just lovely and tasty. Our server was knowledgeable about the food and made dealing with my wife’s gluten and dairy allergies no big deal, just like it was a routine request. She had the scallops which were gorgeously seared and tasty. Oh… if you love bread (like I do) have the anadama bread. OMG, a light drizzle of molasses and sweet butter. Crazy good. Deserts were also excellent: I had the Indian pudding (awesome)… my wife the GF/DF sorbet. And they have real espresso that’s truly legit. Solid five stars. Fine dining, where you feel comfortable in jeans and a T shirt, but are guaranteed to get a first rate meal. Yup… highly recommended.

Julianne

We love the crispy, light gluten free fish and chips! Even the chips (homemade fries!) are extra delicious!

Becca Olach

Cool Portland hotspot, has lots of seafood options. I am gluten free and had some choices there! Staff is accommodating to allergies!

Marie Mazza

This restaurant had a great menu with gluten free options. The hostess, Katherine, checked on us frequently. She shared a few recipes for my entree and dessert.

Colleen Romanauski

We had the most amazing dinner here! We sat on the rooftop and enjoyed oysters, seafood risotto and dessert while watching the sunset. The rose on tap was delicious. It is dog friendly and we enjoyed meeting the dogs near us. Our server, Melissa M, provided great recommendations and was super friendly. Tons of gluten free options as well. Cannot wait to come back!

Deborah Sirotkin Butler

Largest seafood platter serving I have ever seen. Gluten free menu.

Jacie Goodwin

The roasted Brussel sprout salad is excellent! Lots of gluten-free options. Had crab roll on gluten free bun, bun was perfect and the crab portion was generous. Great service. Great views.

Ruth Myers

Excellent service and a wide range of food options. As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, it's a relief to find restaurants that are knowledgeable about safe ingredients for people with allergies.

Robin K.

Great place, a tad pricey. Gluten free marked on menu. Scott was our server and did a wonderful job. Gluten free beer from local brewery. Sat outside, was nice. Restrooms are very compact. Food and service was great. So good. Will go back when in the area. Thanks for the great experience.

john balano

The light fresh breeze peppered our lunch experience with welcome relief from the heat and sun. Sharon had the gluten free bun lobster roll and I had the regular lobster roll. The lobster in the rolls were generous portions. Chilled for an appropriate time after being steamed and picked these rolls were amazing and accompanied with a side of our choice and a small bag of chips. We each enjoyed a scoop of Black Raspberry for desert. I absolutely love this place!

Kaitlin W

This place is worth the hype! It is truly family owned and operated which I respect. Phil and his family work to serve and catch the food. The food is delicious. I would recommend the hot lobster roll if you prefer steak and lobster. If you want a more authentic, experience get the classic roll. The rolls are packed with meat despite being 4oz. I would definitely come here again if in the area. Gluten free options available as well. Be prepared to wait in line!

Brianna

If I had the means to hand out Michelin stars, Twelve would get 3. My entire experience was nothing short of absolutely phenomenal. Our waiter, Andrew, was extremely and entirely knowledgeable. He was also insanely helpful with guiding me towards the gluten free options of the menu. Always had a smile and was very welcoming and attentive to us as well. The food was like nothing I have ever tasted before. Each course was full of flavor and came out beautifully with a brief description of what was in front of you. The mussels were to die for, along with the steak. I can confidently say that this was the best meal I have ever had in my life and although I live 4.5 hours away, I would drive the 9 hour round trip to eat at Twelve any given day. Thank you to the wonderful staff and the chefs for making this not one of, but THE best dining experience of my life.

Mia Becze

This place is a gem. Excellent pizza, great atmosphere. Gluten free crust is also objectively very good.

Robin K.

Atmosphere was nice but couldn't really a see the water over the rails. But the atmosphere wasn't bad. We were a little bummed about that. However the service and the food was great. Priced okay considering. Plenty of food... Very tasty. Lots of gluten free items were marked. Menu on the wall... Order and pay at the counter. Drinks are picked up at the bar. You have a number... They bring the food out to you. All good. Then you can leave when you are ready as you have already paid for it. Folks nice there. Decor is fun. We'll go back!

Indigo Burford

Great experience, especially if you are gluten free! The menu was marked and there were a variety of options! The lobster taco special on corn tortillas was amazing - and our server Jesse was fabulous!

Ryan Elwell

They have a great selection of meats and seafood with a lot of gluten free options!

Robin K.

Make a reservation! Lovely place. High prices but Very good service and food. Gluten free marked on menu. Really good drinks and also cappuccino. Gluten free fish and chips fried in dedicated fryer. Calamari was the best I have had. It cost us a lot to get out of there but we loved it. View of the ocean while eating. Would go back when in the area. Thanks for the great experience!

Johannah One

My sister has a gluten allergy and the staff was incredibly rude when we inquired. They advertise a whole GLUTEN FREE fry options but the fryer isn’t a separate fryer. So why advertise it as GF and then get rude when asked about it?

Shane Knight

The restaurant offers great views and delicious food, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal. What sets it apart is the extensive gluten-free options available on the menu, including the popular lobster roll. This makes it a fantastic choice for those with gluten intolerance.

Robin K.

Gluten free menu. Food was ok...meh... Nothing special... Got appetizer they brought it with such a small amount of little bread slivers that the person I was with was eating the dip with the spoon because there was just nothing much to eat it on. Still half the dip was still there. We ordered the sweet and sour shrimp for dinner. . And the gluten free version was half what the regular version was ..it would be nice, is they are altering it that much, to explain what will be different about it to make it gluten free. Disappointed. Also there was live music SO loud . Couldn't hear the server, or have any conversation.

George DeVita

I can't say enough about this establishment located in the heart of Ogunquit. We were seated by courteous staff and greeted immediately by our server. We ordered the clam chowder which was delicious creamy chock full of potatoes and clams. We then had the burger which came on a gluten-free roll and was actually very tasty, cooked perfectly and seasoned appropriately. The haddock Rachel was crispy, flaky, delicate and delicious. Came with a Russian dressing and slaw served on a bun. I highly suggest you check out this location in Ogunquit.

Lorne Carter

best brunch i’ve had in a while. full house but we managed to squeeze in a table for two upstairs by a window. cute, cozy atmosphere tied together by hand-painted table tops. mimosas were delicious, especially pear cranberry which i’ve never encountered before. “brunch bread” was the perfect start to the meal—we got a cheddar biscuit and cinnamon brown sugar gluten-free bread, both very yummy. for entrees, we shared french toast and steak eggs benedict. would order both again in an instant. service was warm and friendly to boot. will be returning, hungry for more!!

Carly Parrish

This is definitely a place to stop at any time you can! Their chowder is fantastic and gluten free as-is. The lobster roll was amazing and had a gluten free bun option!

Kate Feeney

I was sadly disappointed with this restaurant. Service was ok, our waitress definitely had too many tables so we couldn’t order anything else but that is to no fault of her. The biggest issue here was the fried food. I ordered a chicken sandwich (gluten free) which I was very excited for since few to no restaurants in the area serve GF fried food. The breading was black, and tasted like straight burnt oil. I tried my best on the sandwich but it left a nasty taste in my mouth and was absolutely not worth it. Please change your frying oil more frequently 😭
