What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free crab cakes (including forms like crab cake po’boy and crab cake tacos)
- Gluten-free gumbo (often prepared with okra as a thickener; comes with gluten-free bread in some servings)
- Gluten-free pancakes (breakfast options clearly labeled as gluten-free)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contamination is a real possibility in some cases.
- There are multiple anecdotal reports of miscommunication or mistakes (e.g., gluten-containing bread or mislabeling as GF in rare instances), though many patrons also report careful handling and successful experiences.
- Occasional long waits or hectic service can contribute to mix-ups, so clear, repeated communication at the counter is helpful.
