What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free lobster roll served on a gluten-free bun.
- Fried items prepared in gluten-free batter (e.g., fried shrimp, fried pickles, other fried seafood) and often noted to use dedicated GF fryers.
- French fries and other potato sides prepared GF.
- Desserts explicitly mentioned as gluten-free (e.g., gluten-free strawberry cake; gluten-free whoopie pie).
- Beverages described as GF-friendly, including gluten-free cider and gluten-free beer on occasion.
- Many menu items are either naturally GF or can be made GF, with explicit GF labeling on the menu noted by diners.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There is at least one recent account describing a GF item that was not GF due to tortillas being served in a GF dish, highlighting a real but isolated safety lapse. Overall, numerous reviews emphasize dedicated fryers, separate fryers, gluten-free batter, and careful kitchen practices, which strongly mitigate cross-contamination risk when followed.
- The data also show that staff are frequently described as knowledgeable about gluten-free needs and cross-contact precautions, and that the menu is clearly marked for GF options.
