What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- All fried foods are prepared with gluten-free batter in a gluten-free fryer, according to multiple diners.
- Safe fried items frequently highlighted include: fish (and fish & chips), fried clams, fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, and other fried seafood baskets.
- Lobster rolls can be enjoyed on gluten-free buns; haddock sandwiches can also be served on GF buns.
- The menu appears to skew GF-friendly beyond fried items as well, with several reviews noting the overall gluten-free approach (though buns are the main gluten-containing item when used).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Some older or isolated comments raise the possibility of crumbs or cross-contact in a compact kitchen, given that gluten-containing breads are present in the space.
- Despite that, a large number of recent reports consistently highlight dedicated GF fryers and a GF batter, which substantially reduce cross-contamination risk for fried items.
- If you are extremely sensitive or have had reactions in other setups, consider confirming the current fryer situation and bun handling at the time of visit, as practices can evolve.
