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.
