- Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie (served without bread)
- From the Sea options in gluten-free form (e.g., perfectly grilled salmon, lobster tails)
- Steaks such as center-cut sirloin, filet mignon, ribeye, and other steakhouse cuts (prepared with gluten-friendly seasonings as part of the gluten-friendly program)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free; cross-contact is possible in normal kitchen operations.
- Fries and some fried items may be prepared in shared fryers at some locations, which can introduce gluten traces if not explicitly avoided.
- While many guests report safe experiences, a minority have encountered gluten exposure or gluten-related illness after visits, highlighting that safety is highly dependent on consistent staff training and execution, especially during busy times.
- The restaurant chain provides gluten-friendly education and protocols, but the existence of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen is not claimed, so strict separation of all gluten-free items cannot be guaranteed at all times.
