Top 50 Gluten-Free Seafood Havens Across Massachusetts

Molly McCown

Thank you for changing gloves when handling the gluten free cannoli. Much, much appreciated :)

Grace Innamorato

Absolutely amazing! The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!

Cristine Trayner

I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on! The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.

We went for Dine out Boston. The food was fantastic and they also had gluten free options too!

High energy and lively place with an extensive menu and good wine list. The Gluten Free selection is outstanding. The food was great with lots of things to share. It can be loud when it's busy.

Our main reason for writing a review is Harold. Harold was our waiter today. It was PACKED and he must have been slammed with tables, however he was super attentive, made us feel heard and took priority in ensuring my allergy was accommodated for. His overall persona was just amazing. I would recommend to come here just based off of Harold’s service. However, we went for my dad’s 58th birthday. The food was great. Atmosphere was so great (never felt rushed, and you were able to hear each other and videos). They also had GREAT options for gluten free. All fried foods are gluten free, they have key lime pie, New York cheesecake and other desserts that are gluten free as well.

GLUTEN FREE DREAM!!!!!! This is a small towny restaurant - it’s actually very small ha, but in a cute cabin-like way. The owner, John, came to introduce himself and tell us about the menu. He has been gluten-free for the last 25+ years and understands the importance of gluten-free items on the menu. He said that all, but four items on the menu are either naturally gluten-free or could be made gluten-free. They have a gluten-free only section in the kitchen that is separated from the rest and they do their absolute best effort at avoiding cross contamination. Raquel our waitress was super sweet and attentive as well. Their mud pie dessert has GF Oreo cookies! DELICIOUS. We ordered fried oysters, calamari, lobster penne vodka, and surf and turf with friend clam strips. OMG DELICIOUS. I have been so limited for so long as someone with celiac disease and I finally found a place I could peacefully enjoy fried foods at!

While it seems like it will be fun spot to eat with a cute ice cream stand out back and lots of seating was met with disappointment once it came to the food. While I am grateful that they provide gluten free options it truly does not matter if it’s barely edible. The batter was bland, soggy and overpowered with taste of the fish. My husband and I actually tore off the batter to attempt to even get a taste of the $40+ fish we spent on. Which was still average at best and quickly got sick of eating from the greasy batter. Definitely a disappointment as I was excited to have a gluten free option and did not feel it was at all worth what we spent.

Lexi Howell

Excellent experience here. Ordered a burger with GF bun and fries. No problems.

Ana Chrzanowski

Great if you’re just celiac but they made all the adjustments with my meal for my dairy allergy also. Justine was fabulous!! Will definitely be coming here again when we next visit Boston. The lobster roll was AMAZING!!

Xavier McDermott

Having someone close to me have celiac makes finding food difficult at times, but we always can go to 110 because of how amazing they are with dietary caution. They will make any dish edible for any allergy. Fantastic service and delicious food. The interior and outdoor seating are both beautiful too.

Maria Pucillo-Dunphy

Excellent food and a huge gluten free menu.

Marissa Gillis

Great place!! The service was top-notch, the inside is a bit cramped (it's the north end) and wicked hot inside but otherwise good! The real star was of course the food. Hands down amazing from the appetizer to the main course- and they accommodated all my allergies very well! I'm GF and DF, they were able to do a lot and had Vegan options too. I'm celiac, felt safe and didn't get sick. Highly recommend.

Barbara Coffin

I was part of a group of 14 yesterday who stopped here for lunch on the way home from Boston. I can't say enough good about out experience. Everyone was happy,as there were more than enough choices to satify everyone. The restaurant was very attentive to dietary needs. ie gluten free, allergies etc. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waitress was very personable and prompt. We were pleasantly surprised as everything came out of the kitchen as ordered and all pretty much at the same time. The food was very good, as was the presentation.Our waitress kept our beverage glasses full. We are all planning out next visit, as this one was so good.

We stopped in on a whim, traveling back to Maine and we are so glad we did. The gluten free options are what drew us in, but the top tier service and quality of this food have now made this our official spot when we come down. The hostess was incredibly friendly, our server was kind, and the food (GF fried pickles, calamari, bang bang shrimp, and onion rings) were incredible, as was the heated deck atmosphere. We will be back, very very soon.

Taylor Ogg

I’m honestly super disappointed. We order take out every Friday night. This is the one day a week we choose not to cook. For the past couple months it has been one bad experience after the other. My food is either consistently wrong. We are given a time frame and arrive on time only to stand around another hour. Or the quality is just plain terrible for what we pay. Now you may ask, why bother going back? Well I wish I could go somewhere else but as a person with Celiac Disease I am left with very limited safe options. I feel safe at this establishment but the service is all over the place. They always appear to be short staffed. While I sympathize with this as someone who use to work in the industry, the attitude we get from the staff is unreal. I hope the establishment grows from these reoccurring reviews.

Michelle N was Gothard

Lots of safe gluten free options including fish and chips. Very helpful staff

Really tough time trying out Clancy’s tonight. Overall, the food was expensive but reasonable (large portions, flavorful), but we had one of the genuinely worst service experiences of my entire life here tonight. From the start, our waiter Lery made our party extremely uncomfortable. One of our friends is celiac and has a very serious gluten allergy. When she inquired if there was a separate fryer for the gluten-free food (a typical question to avoid cross-contamination), he was extremely rude and said, “Doesn’t it say gluten free on the menu? Obviously it is.” When our food came out, he specifically called her out and said, “Wait for yours, make sure you don’t even look at anyone else’s, because yours is coming out RIGHT NOW”, in a joking tone, to continue to make fun of her dietary restriction. When she tried to clarify that this was a severe allergy and not a preference, he said, “Wow, she must be the mom, okay boss, okay boss”. After a series of other uncomfortable exchanges, another one of our friends asked if she could please get a Maitai. He looked at her and laughed and said, “You’re not old enough, no”. He continued to tell her she looked like a child, even though we were all adults in the room. He also asked if our other friend was okay, all because he had ordered two drinks in a two hour dinner period. After he said he was fine, Lery said, “Well I know I’ll be having four later tonight!” The last situation occurred at the very end of the evening. After these weird exchanges and targeted remarks, we were all very ready to leave. When he was bringing up the bill, he pointed at me directly and asked twice, “Where are you from?”. I should say that I was the only person of color in our table. After I told him, he said back, “I can tell YOU are not from around here”. When I asked why, he said that people on the Cape “look alike” and it was evident that I was different. All in all, such a disappointing experience when just trying to enjoy a nice dinner at what seemed to be an excellent restaurant. Extremely sad for our party to have received such unfortunate, unprofessional, and inappropriate treatment from a member of this wait staff. What an ugly ending to a beautiful night at a restaurant with a stunning sunset view.

Tina Howard

Great place to grab brunch. We went for mother's day and they were super accommodating for our friend who has celiac disease

Marilynn Ferguson

Ordered a gluten free catering order. The staff and manager went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and it was a huge hit at my Christmas party. Will definitely order again amazing job! Thank you!

Shiri Barniv

Excellent experience! Friendly and attentive service, fresh and delicious food, and many gluten free options (separate menu, including wonderful dessert, and dedicated GF frier), including kids friendly items.

Raphael deSouza

They make everything gluten-free, and it tastes good. My family loves it.

Devin Roddy

We’ve been to 110 grill several times but tonight was by far our best trip ever. Jenna was our waitress and she was so fun and beyond helpful. She was so cautious and courteous of my gluten allergy and made sure that everything was prepared safely for my allergy. She even recommended my favorite dessert carrot cake as a beignet and it was to die for!!!! We will be back for sure and definitely asking for Jenna to be our waitress!!! Thanks for a wonderful date night!

Sarah Hepburn

I have never been to a restaurant that has catered to my gluten allergy like 110 Grill. They have a full menu for gluten free options and it did not disappoint. The waitress was ready with a perfect recommendation and I am leaving overly satisfied. This will be my go to for easy dining. Thank you.

Matthew Fanning

Everything we ate was fantastic. My wife is gluten free, one of the managers marked up a menu to layout her choices. Highly recommend the house made ricotta!! A bit loud, but that’s because everyone was enjoying themselves.

Rick Tuthill

Great food. My wife is gluten sensitive and they have a GF menu option.

Alejandro A

Expensive but really good. Great service and they have gluten free options!

Lauren Shuman

I came here with a very large group and the restaurant was very accommodating and the staff was fantastic! They have lots of food options, including vegan and gluten free.

Keith Dosik

This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.

Ken Joensson

Pub style fine dining at its best. We had a business meeting and dinner on a high top. All the food was great. Wings were perfect, and so was my strip steak. Perfect medium rare and nicely trimmed. Im celiac and had no problems. They have lots of GF options, too. The only negative was that the table was pretty small. we struggled to fit sharing dishes and our own plates. Extra brownie points for having Ghost Fish gluten-free beer. Great wine choices too.

Melanie Thomson

We celebrated my best friends birthday last night and burtons was very accommodating! It is her favorite place especially because of her gluten allergy and they always are on point with making their dishes safe for her to eat. Thank you burtons for allowing us to stay past your closing time. We’ll be back.

Rebecca Carpenter

I’ve been 3 times now and I have only experienced 10/10 service! I can’t eat gluten and they take that seriously! They even have a whole gluten free menu! I LOVE this place!!

Anne Zhu

Awesome gluten-free selection, they have a separate GF menu! Service was a little slow but overall good experience. I got the GF chicken piccata and it was a little too lemon-y but can’t complain for GF pasta!

chanda ellis

Ordered take out to bring over to family for a holiday brunch. Great gluten free selections. Excellent hollandaise sauce!

Zac Adams

Extremely pleased with how informative jess and Samantha were with celiac and the gluten free allergy. Most of their stuff either is gf or can be made gf. But you don't have to worry about asking bunch of questions about dishes, they have a separate menu! Their desert menu, only the oreos on 2 of the dishes were what made them not gf, everything else was. They do not have anything gluten that goes in their fryer. The Onion rings were amazing! I highly recommend 110 grill to anyone with celiac or the sensitivity.

Andrea Leon

We had a large reservation, but there was only one waiter, which caused each step of the process to take about an hour—from placing our order to receiving the bill. I’m not sure if this was intentional or an oversight. While we enjoyed the food, nothing stood out enough to be memorable a week later other than one of the mocktails. I mentioned that I have celiac and was directed to specific items labeled as GF, but I still had a reaction toward the end of our visit. I’d say the restaurant is gluten-aware, but not truly celiac-friendly, likely due to cross-contamination. Additionally, there was no kids' menu, so I’m guessing it’s not intended to be a family-friendly environment. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, which I appreciated.

Rose Nagelschmidt

Extremely good about allergies. Has a separate gf menu.

Twana B

We really enjoyed our lunch at Luke’s! They have gluten free options too! I had the GF seafood sandwich flight with lobster bisque and it was delicious! I don’t know how that bread is so soft and still GF! My non GF spouse really enjoyed his meal as well. Service was super friendly. Lots of locals eating there.

Clara Notis

This is a great spot for seafood whether you are gluten-free or not! They have plenty of options! It’s a great family restaurant and has a great atmosphere!!

Kerry-Ann Parsons

Really cool place, easy to do a takeout order. Lots of parking around. I had the Gluten free fish and chips with fries. Pretty good, but not excellent. I was glad to find gluten free, dairy free and soy free in Boston.

Amber Easterling

One of my favorite places to eat when visiting Boston! Gluten-free fish and chips is very hard to come by! I appreciate their “gluten free promise” for safe GF food!

Althea Shippey

Tommy did fantastic service - party of five where 3 are gluten-free is objectively difficult but he came through fabulously. He even gave me a version of the menu where he had marked off everything that couldn't be made gluten-free.

Norbert Heuser

Excellent food and atmosphere as well as gluten free options

Gary S. Y. Touyz

Excellent experience. As someone with Celiac Disease, dining out is a challenge but this place was exceptional. Great selection of gluten free battered fish, baked goods, and complimentary GF warm bread rolls which were delicious.

Caitlin O'Donnell

It was a great time. They provided gluten free rolls and regular to support allergies st our table. The lobster Mac and cheese was 56 dollars so I passed on that. Loved the cheesecake for dessert!

Burlington Mall's Legal Sea Foods is located at 75 Middlesex Turnpike, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. In every aspect, Legal Sea Foods at Burlington Mall surpassed my expectations. The spotless, airy, and stylish ambiance set the stage for an incredible meal as soon as we entered. To make us feel cared for and welcomed, the staff went above and beyond. Eating out can frequently be stressful for someone with celiac disease, but this was not the case here. The fact that practically the whole menu had gluten-free options truly delighted me. Such a wide selection is uncommon, and the level of care taken to accommodate dietary requirements was unmatched. A considerate and comforting touch were the gluten-free rolls, which were brought out by a different waiter to prevent cross-contamination. The waitress who waited on us was simply wonderful. Extremely kind, informed, and went above and beyond by suggesting a favorite dish. When my friends adopted their recommendation, he was ecstatic! It's encouraging to see that the employees actually care about the experiences of their visitors. Fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared, the food was amazing. The feeling of being able to savor a meal without worrying about gluten contamination is difficult to describe. I felt "normal" eating out for the first time in a long time. I would go here every day if I could, so my only wish is that it were closer to home! We appreciate Legal Sea Foods for reviving the joy of dining out and setting the bar for outstanding service. Strongly advised!

Ellie Senft

Came in around 7 pm on a Saturday night and got a table for 3 right away! It is not too fancy and I would describe it as more of an upscale casual restaurant. As a gluten free person, this restaurant has tons of options and all of the fried foods are already made naturally gf so there’s plenty of dishes to choose from. They also gave me gluten free dinner rolls when they brought the bread by! I ordered the lobster roll and had it on a gluten free bun (you can also ask for a lettuce wrap). The waitress felt like my gf lobster roll looked smaller than my brother’s regular lobster roll (even though they said they weigh out each portion), so they brought me an extra portion of lobster to make up for it! All that to say, we really enjoyed our experience at Legal Sea Foods and will definitely be back!

Julia Hoffman

I have been a loyal customer of Nancy Chang’s for years, but today’s experience on Christmas Day was beyond disappointing. They were offering a buffet, but there were no sugar-free or gluten-free options, which meant my diabetic grandfather and gluten-free father couldn’t safely eat from the buffet. While we were fine with them ordering from the regular menu, the manager refused to let the rest of us (a group of seven) get the buffet if even one person ordered separately. This lack of flexibility and accommodation was shocking. The manager’s attitude made everything worse. She was incredibly rude, dismissive, and even made inappropriate comments about my grandfather after we explained he has Alzheimer’s. She showed no empathy and instead complained about being stuck at work. Her behavior was unprofessional and ruined what should have been a special holiday experience for our family. We felt we had no choice but to leave the restaurant without eating. We left feeling frustrated and disrespected. As long-time customers, we expected much better. This experience has made it clear we won’t be returning. I strongly discourage anyone with dietary restrictions or special needs from dining here—you won’t find any understanding or accommodation.

Jay Pokorski

One of several great seafood restaurants on the Gloucester wharf. We visited a second time as the gluten free coating on the fried clams is so good.
