What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lobster Roll on a gluten-free bun
- Grouper sandwich on a gluten-free bun
- Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer
- Gluten-free flatbread dishes (when ordered from the gluten-free menu)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- A few older reviews reference cross-contamination concerns or incidents when GF handling wasn’t perfect. However, many newer accounts emphasize explicit GF procedures, separate GF items, and staff who check with the kitchen to ensure safety.
- Occasional statements that shared fryers can be used during busy times or for non-GF items suggest that there is still a potential, albeit mitigated, risk if not strictly managed. The presence of a dedicated GF fryer in many postings remains a key mitigating factor.
- Overall, the safety picture is weighted toward careful handling and GF-focused operations, with ongoing staff education noted in multiple positive experiences.
