What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free lobster roll
- Gluten-free french fries
- Gluten-free onion rings
- Gluten-free buns for sandwiches
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries some risk of cross-contact.
- Historical notes mention a dedicated fryer in some older reports, but the current status is not clearly defined.
- There is at least one older review suggesting a potential cross-contact issue via frying, though more recent experiences include safe outcomes.
- A mix of recent positive experiences and older mixed signals means keeping options clearly marked and communicating with staff remains important for celiac diners.
