Top 50 Gluten-Free Seafood Havens to Explore in Maryland

Peta Towns

Update. They also carry the widest selction of gluten free snacks in the area. They have the best store brand cheese dips. Still a great place to shop! Variety is excellent especially with cooked or pre prepared meals.

Delicious celiac-safe authentic Sardinian cuisine! The pasta was so delicious and they brought gluten free bread for the table. They have gluten free items marked on the menu and have gluten free dessert options too!

Emily Mooney

We ended up here on a whim the day of the fall festival. It was crowded but we were seated very quickly. The service was great and was completely unaffected by how packed it was. They had gluten free options available (even dessert, which is rare). I had a BLT on a gluten free bun AND a gluten free strawberry shortcake. I will absolutely be back.

Alec Hardesty

Best gluten free experience in baltimore! Daniel was awesome! He was very knowlegdeable about the gluten free options and was aware of cross contamination. Both my sister and i have celiac and they were very accommodating! 10/10 would reccomend. The food was fantastic!

Jonathan Pevey

Took my girlfriend for her birthday. She has Celiac. The menu options were plentiful. The food was excellent. The staff was attentive but not intrusive.

Kathleen C. Lanza

Amazing gluten/dairy free pizza...highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my food and drink. My family was not as impressed. I had an Irish coffee with a club on a gluten-free bun. The sandwich had a huge amount of turkey, and the bacon was nice and crisp. It came with a lot of chips. I needed to ask for mayo as it only came with a small smear of Dijon. One kid had the same on a pretzel bun and enjoyed his as well, but also said his was dry and added mayo. 2 kids and my husband tried the mac and cheese. They all said it was mid. It was explained as sticky and dry. It was not creamy at all. The crab mac seemed to have cheese on the top and bottom but not the middle. One kid said they tasted the crab in the mac, and the other one said they couldn't taste it at all. She barely touched her meal, and we came in hungry! The thing that brought the rating down the most was my husband's meal. The ceasar salad did not have enough dressing to even speak on the flavor. The rack of ribs maybe had 2.5 ounces of meat. That "rack" was about as big as my husbands palm. It was one of their higher priced dishes and was totally disappointing. The barbecue sauce was an afterthought. It was smeared on and not even put back into the oven to caramelize. My husband also had some wine that he said tasted like box wine. One kid had fish and chips. I tasted the fish. I thought it was pretty good. The batter could have been lighter. The inside was a little mushy. Kid didn't really eat his meal. He had half of his dad's mac and my chips. But that worked out. My hubby was able to substitute his lacking meal. One kid had nachos. He enjoyed them and almost finished. This is from a kid who complains about nothing. A true gem in this world! All in all, for the price, we felt "mom could do better." In fact, my husband said he could do better. In all fairness, I love being in the kitchen and have about 20 years of making things from scratch, but it hurts when we spend $250 and are not satisfied. The service was great. Atmosphere was bar like. Food was only there to soak up alcohol if you had 1 too many drinks and had to beg the kitchen to turn on the fryer 30 minutes before closing.

Carlos White

The best restaurant on Coastal Highway. They serve fresh fish prepared in six different ways. They also have a great selection of delicious gluten-free options. Our server, Keisha, was attentive and provided excellent suggestions. She was patient with our group of six. The bar drinks were generously poured and served ice-cold. All of the sides and entrees were served hot. The drinks, food, service, and view were all terrific.

Tammy Jarman

I took my family tonight for restaurant week. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server came over quickly and was attentive but not too much. The menu was extensive and the choices were outstanding. My young grandson was with us who needed a gluten free option. The server was able to help with an excellent option. The food was great as was the service. We all highly recommend Luna Blu and we will be going back again in the near future.

Visited from Canada while in Baltimore. Chose this place ONLY because of the gluten free menu. My little son is celliac and they couldn't adjust any of the kids meals to be gluten free. Made me buy an adult pasta for him (for 25 bucks) which he ended up eating maybe a third of. Learn how to cater to kids, not only adults.

Janeth Mora

We visited Baltimore this weekend and had lunch @ Philips, it was a great experience especially thanks to Ruslan’s service, I have dietary restrictions due to celiac disease and he was very supportive of my need and everything was good, no issues with food Food was tasty and had good quality, we sat outside as the weather was very nice and very enjoyable

Erin V

Great service! And amazing food. Delicious masa calamari, curried mussels, and creme brulee with chocolate ganache on the bottom. Gluten free friendly.

Leigh Frame

My favorite item is the grilled wings. They are so delicious with a bit of smokiness, and they are gluten free (I have Celiac disease). Several other GF items including buns.

Jennifer Labesky

We went for Lobster night!! My fam all had lobster and absolutely loved it. I ordered the vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy free stir fry on noodles.... and wow... this dish was phenomenal. The flavor of the dish was amazing ... the most stand-out taste explosion for my palette was the incredible cauliflower steak placed on top of the dish.. all I can say is this is a must get dish!!! I also enjoyed an order of sweet potato fries done to perfection. I did not leave a crumb.... of anything!! This restaurant is employee owned. My experience with our server and watching and listening to the other servers, is they see the customer as family or potential family!!! Incredible tastes, fantastic service, atmosphere perfection, and a must experience restaurant on any journey.!!🦄🙏🌈🩵🩷

I had gluten free margaritas here and they were delicious!

Colleen Gratzer

My husband and I ate here for the first time and just before sunset. Loved the atmosphere, especially watching the sunset from the main dining area. Munir was our server. He was prompt, responsive, attentive and personable. I warned him I would be the problem diner with my dairy and gluten allergies, LOL. He was great about it. He consulted with the chef about what I was interested in eating. Food was awesome. I had the steak and bites of my husband's catfish. Everything was delicious. My husband loved the Mississippi Mud. I liked the cosmos. LOL. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back. Thanks, Munir!

Bern

Elizabeth Challenor-Reese

Excellent gluten free options including crab cakes and fries!

EL

Best brewery in this area. (Blueberry, passion fruits was Soooo good). And they have a Gluten-free beer too. Foods are so delicious. Crab pizza was a hit. Fiah taco, pork taco was really delicious. Tuna tadaki was very good. Korean gochujang chicken wing was good too. And side dishes are very tasty too. Meatloaf was really delicious. Appetizers are really good, we had to order another round again. Clean and nice staffs. Ruddy duck made whole family a very happy dinner. We will be back.

Jessica Horn

This will now be a must eat spot when we travel to OC. The gluten-free options were great! The Mahi dish...Holy smokes y'all!!!

Deborah Altman

They do not have a dedicated fryer. Still, they have a nice variety of GF options and try to minimize cross contamination.

Jaime Bell

Nice variety of gluten free options. Attentive staff and nice atmosphere.

Lindsey Hines

Ordered take out because I was so excited to eat gluten free crab cake and cream of crab soup. I also ordered a wedge salad. I’ve had yellowfin many times and so had higher expectations for the food quality. When I got home I opened up the salad to the a sloppy thrown in a box tomato and onion like whole tomato and onion some peppers that were wilted and a little blue cheese dressing. the soup and the crab cake were okay. Maybe it was an off night but when I called in they asked me to drive back and show them the salad to refund the money. I get it to a point. They know the sloppy mess they put together. I didn’t ask to refund the full meal just the salad. The manager wouldn’t even come to the phone. There is a reason a place that used to have a wait on a Wednesday night was empty besides the bar. It’s a shame but I won’t be back.

We had a great meal here! We were a party of 5 on a Friday night and the service from Shannon was great! We started with their monthly wine special which was a steal at $35 for a reserve bottle of Montepulciano. I am gluten free and was offered housemade GF bread that was literally some of the best GF bread I have ever had. The menu also had many GF choices including salads, entrees, pastas and desserts. I chose Chicken Marsala with GF penne and it was delicious! The others at our table had lasagna. Chicken Parm, and a seafood pasta. For dessert, we had carrot cake, coconut pie and lemon dessert that was GF and the table favorite. For 5 people, bottled wine, salads, entrees and 3 dessert it was under $200-great value!

C Lynn

Splurge - worth it. Have ordered through Postmates for self and work meeting. Always a big hit. Love the options for gluten free bun or place on mixed greens.

Emily Morgan

Very gluten free friendly! I felt very safe eating there with my daughter that has celiac disease. Our food was amazing and the drinks were yummy. Having a playground there for our wild child was amazing. We loved sitting in the sand and listening to music. We got there at 430 and had zero wait. When we left closer to 6, the line was insane. Definitely recommend going a bit early. We will definitely be returning!

Wendy Caputo

The restaurant location is a little obscure and a bit hard to find. Once we arrived, we were surprised by the diner like decor of the restaurant and how empty it was. Super super impressed with their ability to accommodate gluten-free options! We ordered appetizers and entrees - overall, the food was delicious, very well prepared, & good size portions. The kitchen turned around the food orders quickly. The service was definitely lacking. Our server was a bit nutty, had an attitude, and had to be reminded of segments of our order. Don't appreciate feeling like we are inconveniencing him for having a 7pm reservation. If that was later than he wanted to stay, then they should stop taking reservations beyond 6 pm. I don't think our expectations were high for service - just looking for our server to be nice. Eye rolling when taking our order is not professional nor respectful. While the food was great, I'm not sure we will return...too many good restaurants in the area that care about customer service.

Delaney Ford

Wow! This place was delicious! Hands down sooo yummy! I am so in love. This was my first time visiting here and I loved the meal. Gluten free pancakes, eggs and a turkey sausage patty! Wow. I was nervous with my gluten allergy but I called in advance and talked to Carol and she was so friendly and told me that they make sure the fryers are separate for allergies and do not worry. Everything was so organized and absolutely delicious. Also, the wait was long but when Carol came by with a smile it eased the atmosphere of waiting for food. I loved the server as well Mitch. He was friendly and quick to get my order. Very good customer service! I will be back and hope everyone can visit this place in Ocean City Maryland. It was worth the wait! 🥰❤️👏🏾

Lorraine Young

We dined at this establishment twice. The first time we chose to dine out on the deck. The food was excellent as well as our server. I have Celiac Disease so finding a restaurant with Gluten Free options is limited. We were looking forward to going back and when we did, the disappointment set in. We dined in the indoor deck and were surrounded by large amounts of spider webs on the entire side where the windows are to view the Susquehanna. On the far wall where the Tidewater sign is there were more cobwebs which had eggs in them. Then we noticed the condiments. The salt and pepper shakers were filthy as well as the containers for ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. Needless to say, although the food was very good, the lack of cleanliness makes one question what is it like in the kitchen!!

Mike B.

Excellent lobster roll and French fries. Some good gluten free options as well but the GF rolls for the lobster roll were horrible and hard as a rock. A bit disappointing for the high cost of the lobster roll.

Daniel Hulter

Great spot, very accommodating to celiac (gluten free) options. Delicious, quick, solid sushi and drinks

Lynne Sobieski

Went today for the Easter Buffet with family. Everything was absolutely delicious, even my gluten free options! The service was top notch.

TyForce1

I went for lunch. Food is tasty. Service was slow. Atmosphere was appropriate and fun. FYI they have gluten free options, but dont have gluten free bread.

D'Aydra Allen

Our work dinner was excellent! Everyone found great options on the menu after sharing several appetizers! And there were delicious gluten-free options as well!

Meredith Meissgeier

Crab cakes are the incredible and gluten free! A never miss experience

Cheryl E

Gluten free roll fell apart but that I guess should be expected. Drinks were good and everyone working there was pleasant

Barbara Hockman

Gluten-free Cheeseburger-> so Delish

Steve S

I'm on vacation so we don't really know what's out here. These guys helped a ton over the phone suggesting getting around the wife's gluten allergy. Take-out food was great, but they forgot to put the Pico and melted butter in the bag... I guess no one's perfect

Elijah Hall

Genuine Cuban food. There are tons of gluten free options. The various beans are all distinct and delicious.

Jennifer May

The first restaurant I’ve been to with gluten free toast. Thanks for having that option! Service was good and you can’t beat the atmosphere. We will be back!

Very pretty restaurant with attentive waitstaff. It's a bit pricey, but has an extensive wine and alcohol list. No vegan meals and really only 1 choice for vegetarian "meal", which was a salad. I realize it is a seafood restaurant, but would live to see a more inclusive menu. There was a gluten free menu, which was great.

Pamela

The gluten free crab cakes were delicious! Make sure to call ahead at least 24 hours beforehand to make a reservation, and let them know how many gluten free servings you’d like to order. It’s an expensive meal, but that’s to be expected with fresh crab, and we felt that it was well worth it for the portion (An 11 ounce portion is $37).

Jaclyn Martinez

Has an entire gluten free menu. Finally had sushi after many years with celiac. Food was delicious and staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about menu and gluten. Will definitely be going back!!

for G Productions

We have been many times. We got Tracey as our waitress tonight. Food was it's normal SPECTACULAR (TRY THE CRAB SOUP!!!), atmosphere great (yet it's normal little louder than most places), excellent and delicious gluten free/celiac options, and service was spot on. Tracey was fantastic. She also is very much aware of what to do with allergies. Another great meal at EW's. Keep it up ya'll.

Food took an hour to arrive (daughter timed it). My salad arrived with my entree. I have had crab cakes here at least 20 times and these had more filler by far than any other time to where the crab flavor was diminished. I received a baked potato (ordered) and fries (not ordered). My son in law didn't get his fries (I gave him mine). His arrived 5+ minutes after his entree. His meal was a broiled seafood platter and was really lacking in size/quantity compared to previous years. The other two meals were as expected. I hope Woody's isn't slipping. I love to make the trip from southern Lancaster, PA several times per year. The menu was clearly marked for gluten free and had several options although a few more would have been nice.

Sharon Pole

Great food and cocktails. The service was excellent and there were many great gluten free options.

Ashley Hanner

Never disappoints & the kids LOVE their options. Great gluten free options for me.

We have been satisfied diners at the Carrol's Creek Cafe for several years now. We drive almost an hour to reach their location in Annapolis, so it is always a special treat for us. Their convenient parking is a breeze, but do make sure you have your parking ticket validated. Their red wine onion soup is one of our favorites, with a rich flavorful broth, but not as salty as other versions of onion soup, well worth a try. Their seasonal citrus and beet salad is my personal salad selection, if it is not available, the Carrol Creeks salad is also quite good. Their infrequent offering of soft shell crab appetizer is described as "whale sized" by the waiter but in actuality is quite modest and smaller than we would have liked for the price. Their entree selection is good, we usually go with the specials offered that evening. Their poached grouper was perfectly prepared with a moist tender texture that was excellent, the lemongrass flavoring was delicious. Their desert menu is worth a look. The Expresso creme brulee is highly recommended, their ice cream is rich and creamy with crafted flavors, the flour less chocolate cake (gluten free) is also very nice. We visit Carrol's Creek Cafe on special occasions and would visit more often if we were nearer! A great place to dine and relax with a view of the boats in the marina.
