Top 49 Gluten-Free Seafood Havens Across Maine

Murphy Ammann

Super friendly people great gluten free and dairy free options. I’m not celiac but they asked great questions and would check if they weren’t sure of an answer.

Domonique

Great service. They have gluten- free lobster rolls! The lobster was okay.

Meredith Reed

Great options if you are gluten free!

Jessi Parker

This was hands down, the BEST fish and chips I have EVER had (even better than London). Highly recommend!

Megan Stowe

It made me so happy to have gluten free fried shrimp and french fries. My husband said his clams were great and the non gf blueberry cornbread was delicious.

Sara Kush

So good! I have celiac and got the nachos and brisket sandwich with the cheesy fries while my husband (not gf) got the pulled pork dinner. Everything in our order was marked gf and it was delicious. I didn't get sick! Definitely coming back if I'm up here again!

Barbara Gulino

Great food, great vibes - a wonderful lunch and a really good gluten free bun for the lobster roll! A total win for me!

Great lobster roll. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Troy Halm

Great place for Gluten Free options as their batter is gluten free! Super nice people and great food. They offer indoor seating if needed. Their fries are some of the best I've ever had.

David Stock

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

This is a spot worth checking out for both locals and tourists! Bite Into Maine has three locations including this one, in addition to a trailer at Allagash Brewing and one at Fort Williams. This was my first visit to this particular location and enjoyed it! Located in a great location with lots to do within walking distance but be sure to come here for their lobster rolls or what I enjoyed the Lobster BLT. It comes on a delicious grilled buttered ciabatta roll with delicious lobster atop a classic BLT. Bacon being the perfect level of crisp! On the side you will get a serving of chips. Staff were friendly and after ordering you get a beeper that will let you know when it’s ready. They got plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if the weather is nicer. Also to note for those who cannot handle gluten this is a great spot to check out. And even better for those you can go enjoy gluten free beers at Orange Bike Brewing and checking out the special Bite Into Menu gluten free menu located all over the brewery to enjoy a beer and bite without concern of gluten!

This is our "go to" Chinese restaurant. Excellent food. Plenty of yummy gluten free options. Great service. Very easy to order. Zen's has been providing us with an exceptional experience since we came to Portland about 5 years ago.

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

Was very excited to see the large selection of GF items. Was very disappointed to learn that they could not turn on the fryer and the vast majority of items were not available. Also ordered an appetizer of GF stuffed mushrooms that never showed up. I didn't think they were fried, so my guess is the kitchen staff didn't want to be bothered making gluten free items that evening. I got a burger that was just ok. 🤷‍♂️

First time getting food at this establishment. My sister and I are both gluten intolerant so this review really pertains to such consumers. Lots and lots of options- we ordered the Mariner plate for lunch. It was take out so we ate at home. The scallops and shrimps were excellent, the fish was really good. Finding tasty gluten free food can be tough. Our issue was with the French fries. Restaurants that serve gluten free food can sometimes not refresh their oil as often as they would for normal food. That is our guess- the fries had a strong, unusual odour so we both ate only a couple and we both felt unwell afterwards. I would guess that the oil is rancid- everything else was tasty so please folks, switch your oil over for gluten free food more often. Thanks

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!

The best lobster roll my husband has had yet on our trip up the north east. The scallops were absolutely amazing. The quinoa burger, and sweet potato fries were outstanding. We also got the gluten-free dairy free, egg free whoopee, which was delicious. I would highly recommend this place. Just be prepared to wait in line because it's that popular.

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.

Paris Martin

Cute little restaurant sit outside, inside, or at the bar. Great tunes and relatable staff. Everything on the menu is AMAZING you can’t go wrong! Shrimp cocktail, bang bang broc, “Caesar” salad, and don’t forget the fish n chips. Ask for extra tartar you’re going to need it! Gluten free and vegan options available too!

Jennifer Adams

Brix + Brine in Ogunquit, Maine, has become a must-visit for us each time we're in town. Though the menu doesn't specifically mark gluten-free options, we've found their offerings to be extensive and accommodating, making it a haven for gluten-sensitive diners. The gluten-free Fried Haddock Sandwich is perfectly crispy with tender fish, while the Maine Lobster Roll, accompanied by golden fries, is a true taste of the coast. For something indulgent, the gluten-free Buttermilk Fried Chicken is a standout. Whether you're stopping in for lunch or dinner, the sea breeze adds a refreshing touch to the experience. It’s a busy spot, so plan ahead and arrive early to snag a table!

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.

My friends and I were on a ladies' trip to Maine. One of our close friends in the group goes several times every year. Recently, we visited this restaurant on the recommendation of a close friend. While she was initially very disappointed with some of the recent menu changes, our experience was saved—and truly elevated—by our incredible server, Tracey. This just reinforces that servers really make the restaurant. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, knowledgeable, and impressively attentive. I have celiac disease, which often makes dining out stressful, but she immediately put me at ease. Not only were they well-informed about gluten-free options, but they also took the time to double-check with the kitchen and offered thoughtful suggestions to ensure I had a safe and satisfying meal. Her level of care and attention went above and beyond what I’ve experienced at most places. Despite the changes my friend wasn’t thrilled with, the server’s attitude, flexibility, and genuine effort completely turned our evening around. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated to making sure every guest feels comfortable, heard, and valued. This kind of service is what turns a meal into a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’ll be requesting the same server! Can’t wait for our next trip!

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.

Michael Wilder

Great service, accommodating, and amazing food! My fiancé and I went here for dinner during our weekend get-away and it was our favorite spot of the whole trip! Between the two of us we have a list of food allergies (the most prominent being Gluten Free and Shellfish). After talking with the hosts we were assured that they are able to make accommodations for our allergies. We had a wonderful meal, highly recommend inquiring on "Today's Fresh Fish", their halibut and haddock dishes were amazing (I forget which one had the creamy black pepper sauce, that one was delicious!). Atmosphere was perfect for a casual romantic dinner, just enough privacy to feel you can talk freely with each other but still had that social comfy vibes. This is now a staple of our visits to Bar Harbor going forward.

Kaitlin Levesque

Great service, accommodated gluten allergies.

Erica Marinaro

The menu was labeled GF and the waitress was very knowledgeable. Lobster was amazing.

Becca Olach

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

Julianne

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

Rick Freeman

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

Joe Murphy

Took the family out for dinner. My first time at mikes. Abbey was a great server. Food was excellent. Lots of gluten free choices. Recommend it!

Richelle Ross

Food was great and they had gluten free options. But if you're celiac and sensitive, this may not be the place for you. The place was kid friendly. If you have trouble walking stairs, there are some stairs in the building, not a lot, but it could be problematic.

Shannon Bedinger

One of our go to spots every summer. The atmosphere and seafood hit the spot every time! I love that they offer gluten free New England Chowder as well!

Harold Whatley

Alannah McMahon

I had a great experience here, I was sure to ask a lot of questions following some confusion on here. Our server informed me that all of the batter they used for frying food was gluten free, and I had a gluten free lobster roll which was marked. I felt safe and that my celiac disease was fully understood. I had no reaction and staff seemed very competent in allergens.

Edward Leonard

We loved this place! Steaks were excellent, service attentive, and the restaurant was beautiful with wide plank wood floors and rugs under each table, very cozy. My husband has celiac and they have a gluten free fryer, which was exciting! Would definitely return.

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.

Realllyyy good pizza. The staff was very friendly. They have gluten-free options. It's expensive but it was worth it.

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!

Dora Stott

Susie Bean

We really enjoyed this place. It's not any more expensive than I would expect for a fresh seafood place in Maine. The lobster roll was fantastic. Thick flaky chunks of lobster, cooked really well. They were also really good about working with you on allergies. I have a dairy allergy and my in-laws have gluten allergies. There was something for all of us and we all enjoyed it very much.

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.

Clarissa Hennessey

Ryan J

Great food with a great view! Even had a gluten free lobster Mac option. I was so excited, and I will definitely be going again. My only gripe is it's one of those places that you pay and they ask for a tip before you ever receive service or food. Ultimately both were great though.

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 😭
