What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Pimento cheese appetizer served with house-made potato chips (described as GF-safe by diners)
- Flourless chocolate cake (dessert; repeatedly cited as gluten-free safe)
- Crème brûlée (dessert; frequently mentioned as gluten-free)
- Bouillabaisse (shellfish over grits; described by diners as safe in the context of a fully safe meal)
- Parmesan crusted market catch (main course option that has GF status in multiple reviews)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Some historical notes mention non-dedicated fryers or in-house bakery activity, which could introduce cross-contamination risk in theory. However, many recent diners report explicit attention to gluten-free preparation, separate GF components, and manager involvement to ensure safety.
- The evidence base is strongly weighted toward recent positive experiences, with occasional earlier concerns. The overall pattern suggests a high level of celiac safety, but the possibility of cross-contamination exists where shared equipment is used and not explicitly stated as fully dedicated.
