🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Fresh Catch Plate (noted by a diner as the safest option) which includes fish with rice and coleslaw.
  • Rice and Cajun rice are described as gluten-free in several accounts.
  • Coleslaw is described as gluten-free in some reports.
  • Cajun seasoning on fish is frequently cited as gluten-free per staff guidance.
  • Grilled fish prepared with alternative oils (e.g., olive oil) is mentioned as a safe prep option when requested.
  • Important caveat: many gluten-free items are not explicitly labeled as such on the menu, and items like fries are commonly noted as not being gluten-free due to shared fryers.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Shared fryers and grills pose a clear cross-contamination risk for gluten-containing foods, especially with fries and items cooked on the same surfaces.
  • Butter or dairy-based sauces may be brushed onto food or used in prep, raising additional cross-contamination concerns for extremely gluten-sensitive diners.
  • While staff can (and often do) change gloves and use fresh pans/oils when asked, this requires proactive, explicit requests at ordering to reduce risk.
  • A few diners reported illness tied to cross-contact, underscoring that risk is real and not uniformly avoided.
