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.
