What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- All chowders are gluten-free (including clam chowder, lobster chowder, seafood chowder, corn chowder) as repeatedly noted in multiple accounts.
- Salads that are explicitly marked gluten-free on the menu.
- Tortilla chips and salsa substituted in place of bread as a GF starter.
- Gluten-free desserts such as GF carrot cake (appearing in multiple positive reports).
- Gluten-free beverage options, including availability of Ghostfish gluten-free beer (where offered locally).
- Burgers and other creations that can be prepared GF (with staff confirmation on buns and cross-contact).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contact risks exist in the kitchen, and some menu items may come into contact with gluten during preparation.
- At least one recent report describes a dish labeled GF arriving with gluten-containing components due to fryer cross-contact, highlighting the importance of explicit, real-time checks with staff.
- While staff are generally described as knowledgeable and communicative, and managers often check in to confirm safety, incidents show that mistakes can happen, especially with new or updated menu items.
- A cautious approach is wise: ask about fryer usage, gluten-free labeling on specific dishes, whether breads or batters are prepared in shared spaces, and confirm modifications with the chef or manager before ordering.
