🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free crab cakes
  • Gluten-free French fries

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists.
  • Reports about dedicated GF fryers are mixed: some guests say there was one, others say there isn’t one or it’s compromised on busy days.
  • Some reviews indicate that GF dishes are prepared on separate plates or with careful handling, but not all accounts confirm consistent, guaranteed cross-contamination prevention.
  • Given the variability in fryer status and the kitchen setup, it’s prudent for a celiac diner to call ahead to confirm current practices, and to communicate clearly with staff about gluten-free requirements.
