Top 50 Gluten-Free Seafood Havens Across South Carolina

Amber Easterling

This is always one of my favorite places to visit in Charleston! They have a large gluten-free menu and take any allergies very seriously! The food is always amazing! Lunch or dinner, it’s always so good!

Heather Iacono

This place knows about celiac- not just “gluten free”. Extreme care in preparation of food. Separate cooking area and servers! Had the tacos and they were fantastic! The live music was an additional bonus! #celiac

We had excellent broiled shrimp and scallops. The inside was very nice and on a good day the patio seating would be nice. We came here because we read it had good safety precautions for those with gluten issues (like Celiac disease). The staff was knowledgeable about this and our daughter enjoyed eating out trying grilled shrimp and veggies. Would definitely come back.

Adam Marsh

Menu is 99% gluten free! It was wonderful. Service was amazing and food was even better!

Heather Iacono

Amazing! Service was terrific and food was absolutely delicious! Celiac friendly- extremely aware and the price was surprisingly very reasonable for the amount of food!! AAA+++

Kyle Holmes

An all around spectacular meal. First the service was first class from the greeting and seating to the table service. Every single dish was fantastic but the Beef Carpaccio and BBQ Tuna really stood out. Great selection of Gluten Free options on the menu, very accommodating. Thank you for the wonderful visit, can't wait to return.

Hook & Barrel is my favorite restaurant in the Grand Strand, perfect for both special occasions and casual dining. The beautiful atmosphere and attentive team complement their consistently delicious food. I appreciate their seasonal menu changes reflecting local availability - it shows real commitment to sustainability. As a gluten-free diner, I love their numerous accommodating options. Reservations recommended - this gem fills up quickly and for good reason.

My wife has celiac disease. To set the table, we went to two different restaurants before coming to Poseidon one evening and both ended up being disasters, one telling us after the food arrived that they “have no idea” what ingredients are in a certain item on the plate. We got up from the table and left. I arrived at Poseidon and immediately spoke with the GM Misty and told her about our night. She reassured us that she would oversee the entire preparation of our meal and ensure everything in her power would be done to prevent cross contamination for my wife. Not only was the food delicious and prepared safely, but Misty brought us a gluten free dessert on the house when our meal was finished. Paying for the mistakes of other restaurants in order to give us a spectacular experience is something I haven’t seen at a restaurant in a very long time. We were absolutely blown away by the level of care and service provided to us last night. We will 100% be returning every time we visit Hilton Head. Thank you so much to Misty, Barb, and the entire Poseidon staff involved in making this a 5-star experience!

DEDICATED FRYER!!! That should say enough for you to get over there! But, their bang bang shrimp (crispy gluten free tempura battered, fried in a dedicated fryer) was delicious! With a sweet Thai chili and spicy mayo drizzle. The fish tacos (gf battered, fried fish - or can be grilled) with a creamy slaw and corn tortillas served with crispy fry/chips were awesome! I had seen a review talking about lack of flavor - don’t listen to that. Could it use a pinch more salt? Sure. But it was incredibly flavorful, hot and so deliciously crispy, GF fried fish and shrimp! Wonderful experience! I recommend putting in a reservation to sit on the deck to make sure you get a spot outside!

Amber Easterling

A lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. We went for brunch and there were a few GF options on the menu. I was a little taken back that the chef was unwilling to modify a dish by substituting chicken for shrimp. I ended up with a salad and added chicken to it. My husband’s food came out cold with a film over it. I’ve heard such great things about this restaurant, so was a little disappointed. Maybe it was just an off day.

Amber Easterling

A great place for dinner or brunch on the weekends, especially if you love grits! They even have a grit flight! All GF options are labeled on the menu. I got the flounder special over the garden style grits and also a side of the butter beans with bacon, which I highly recommend!

Susan Edgar Lee

Normal loud, dark wood-paneled interior but very professional staff. Good service. Gluten-free menu for my husband. First time ordering tuna tartare appetizer. Thumbs up. I ate their bouillabaisse which was excellent with a yummy crostini toast. Not cheap, nor should it be. Pictured is their seafood tower. Although it’s not what I ate, I saw several of those going out.

Leah Camp

Safe for food allergies! Kitchen takes allergy/dietary modifications and questions seriously and our server Ethan was amazing! I had the crab and shrimp lettuce wraps. Gluten Free and Alpha gal safe!

Sarah Benson

Family recommended and fantastic recommendation it was. Patrick was a phenomenal server, ensuring our gluten free family member had no issue, bringing a separate table dish that was gluten free and recommended delish meal options. And that Pineapple Under the Sea was like a dessert, so smooth and flavorful. Will be back for sure.

Laura Moffett

Best shrimp and grits I have had in a while. Also, the waitress was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and the service was fast and very friendly.

Jupiter Grove

Great little place with a nice selection on the menu. They do accommodate gluten-free although it's not their specialty. You can get a $6 yuengling draft or pay as much as you want for mixed drinks. They truly have something for everyone.

Laurie Blevins

Love that they have a gluten free menu. There's no GF fryer. Everything was tasty, and the portions are huge.

Annabelle leister

Great Gluten free options on menu! Food was delish

Wesley Gwynne

A very good vegan and gluten free option. The tofu is a bit boring as the only vegan protein but the service is friendly and fast!

robert caola

Best food in the area. Everything was fresh and they are turning everything over to be gluten free so celiacs are not to worry.

Michele Pridgen

First time having lunch here and having a gluten free menu option and the waiters knowledge of celiac disease was reassuring. Looking forward to my next visit! Mahi mahi and shrimp were delicious🤤

Zoe Smith

Service was very slow and hard to get a hold of servers for assistance. I have a gluten allergy and checked with the waiter before ordering and specified- reminded him of my gluten allergy with each course and every single plate I got had gluten on it- first my salad with crunchy toppings fried in the fryer with gluten items, then my crab dip had bread crumbs on it. It was very disappointing and also scary to get one dish after another with gluten in or on it. Additionally every single person at the table finished their drinks and the server was no where to be found for 30-45 minutes. I was with a large group celebrating a friend so did not make a fuss. Both dishes were sent back and fixed. Appreciate that but not the level of service I expect from an establishment like this.

Ben Pfeiffer

Our waitress was very friendly and helpful! The Lowcountry Mac and Cheese was delicious! It’s also a very nice area to sit and eat right by the water! My sister got the fish and chips and said that it was very good, and my grandma (gluten free) was able to get a salad, but she said it was a little plain.

Michelle Christian

It was okay. Definitely had all you can eat crab legs but I've had better. Crazy stupid busy in there. Not much for a gluten free person to eat. Decent salad bar. A good variety for normal gluten eating people.

anthony graffeo

With my gluten-free allergy, the service was spectacular in separately cooking my food from the others, keeping the grill immaculate, and truly appreciated his efforts.

Jennifer Rosenburg

I have celiac and wanted something gluten free. Came at dinner and had the gluten free burger! Wow! The gluten free bun actually stayed together! Which is rare!!!! The gluten free carrot cake was to die for!!!! I was so full but kept eating! It’s not common for me to find a good gluten freer burger or dessert and tonight I did! So happy! Ask them to make sure to toast your bun! You’re welcome!

This is the perfect median between an upscale fish restaurant and a local dive bar. Food was AMAZING! It is family owned and you MUST sit outside on the dock. I WILL be going back next time I'm on HHI. We arrived a little after 5 pm & had about a 20-minute wait. We sat in the bar, had a couple of great drinks, & enjoyed talking to the bartender. Food was reasonably priced and high quality. I'm gluten free and they were very conscientious of my needs.

Coco Messer

Had an amazing dinner at Coast thanks to Jorge. Jorge went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten allergy (even for dishes not identified as gluten free) and really made us feel at home. We started off with some oysters and calamari, and for our main dishes got scallops and the lobster mac and cheese. We couldn't have asked for a better meal or a better server! Be sure to ask for Jorge!

Raja V

Great food, they took the time to accommodate dietary restrictions and communicate which items were gluten free.

Kataretya Jenkins

Delicious! Simply delicious! Affordable seafood with high end taste profile. Excellent service with Vladislav. That secret sauce is dangerous!!! They also have a gluten free and a vegan menu for those who like options!

Ashley Pers

One of the best meals we had on the island. So many gluten free options. Very friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Ate outside and found it very comfortable and clean - even in the rain!

Paris Powers

Our server Kayla was FANTASTIC!! So sweet, attentive, and overall helpful! I notified her about my gluten allergy and she showed all options on the menu and was very informative. Definitely would eat here again and ask for Kayla to be our server :)

Jennifer Nelson

Love, love, love Mr Fish! Staff is knowledgeable and helpful and always have great recommendations from their market items. And for lunch or dinner, this is a hidden gem. Awesome menu items, and even better specials. When accommodating a request for gluten free items, they were helpful and knowledgeable (get the hibachi shrimp, GF, with no sauce toppings). Our go-to every time we visit MB!

Natalie Ireland

We came with a large party and our server was great! Quick, attentive, knowledgeable about what was celiac safe on the menu which is a huge plus for me! Everything we had was so good, food and drinks! Would love to check out their patio next time.

Leah Hernandez

My daughter has celiac and we love going to this place.

Scott Claypoole

Because our goal this vacation was to try restaurants that we have never been to , we decided to put WiseGuys on the list. Wow! So glad we made that decision and wish we had done it sooner. The service was exceptional and the food was some of the best we have ever had on the Island. Gluten free Pizza, Blackened catch (which was swordfish) and Scallops with mushroom risotto were our entrees. WiseGuys is known for its Steaks, but we did not go wrong with our selections. We will definitely be back!

Vali Klein

Delicious fish! They were able to accommodate my dairy and gluten allergies really well.

Lue Smith

Great location, dog friendly, gluten free options, and excellent staff. We loved everything we ordered from our drinks to the food.

Rita Mewing

A gluten and dairy free option was available. The staff was nice. I wouldn't make a special trip to come here again.

Lauren Murawski

My parents ate here and always ask about if they can accommodate those with Celiac Disease to help out our community! They have a dedicated GF fryer and the staff is super knowledgable on CC!! Wahoo! A win for the Celiac community!

Katie Scott

This place is amazing. Service was top-notch, food was excellent, you can’t beat the atmosphere. Jessie, our server, was such a gem. Do not come if you are in a rush… this place is meant to be enjoyed. Food does take a little longer but I promise it is worth the wait. One of the best meals I’ve had in the Myrtle area. Also to top it off, they have an extensive wine list and gluten free menu.

Jeff delMas

Quaint little restaurant with inside and deck dining. The waitress was delightful and the food was good. We had a meat eater, a vegetarian and a gluten free eater. We were all satisfied. Nothing fancy for lunch but all good food.

Lisa Hamel

This was our first time at Wicked Tuna and we already can’t wait to go back. I have been gluten free for about 4 years and that typically means unseasoned protein and steamed vegetables when you eat out. Everything we ordered was amazing and so flavorful! They even had spicy mayo, and gluten-free Soy sauce. The surf and turf was awesome, and the steak was incredibly tender. My husband had shrimp and grits, which he reported to also be great. We had the Oysters Rockefeller and a specialty tuna roll both if which were great. We will definitely eat here again!

Jerry Duncan

Gluten free items great drinks,fun very good service just lots of fun

Michele Pridgen

The blackened BBQ salmon was fantastic and my kids actually cleared their plates! I loved that the menu had gluten free options marked. Was hoping to see porpoises outside, but I think it was too hot

Patsy Y

The gluten free option is great when your health depends on it. This restaurant takes this seriously.

Amber Easterling

A great place for dinner with a beautiful waterfront view. Nothing is labeled GF on the menu, but a lot of their items are naturally GF or can be modified to be gluten free. For example, they can cook the brussel sprouts and potatoes in a pan rather than in the fryer. Or leave the bread off of the burrata appetizer. They are very knowledgeable about celiac and can customize your meal in their open view kitchen. They also have a rooftop bar which is more casual.

Amber Easterling

Great for lunch or dinner! All of their fish dishes can be broiled. They have quite a few salads and all of their sandwiches can be made without the bun. The Salmon BLT is amazing! They do not have a dedicated fryer, so no fries or sweet potato fries if you have celiac.

Paul Horenberger

Great gluten free options, bartender made us the best Margaritas, totally going back tomorrow
