What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lobster roll served on a gluten-free bun
- Clam chowder (gluten-free)
- Lobster bisque (gluten-free)
- Fried items prepared with gluten-free batter (rice flour), with some reports noting dedicated fryers
- Gluten-free chips (Cape Cod or similar) often provided in sealed packaging to minimize cross-contact
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact is possible in some prep areas.
- Some diners have reported issues when fryers or grills are shared or when staff transitions aren’t clearly communicated. Others have had strong assurances and evidence of cleaning, glove changes, and separate prep spaces.
- Always clarify: allergy vs. preference, request surface cleaning, request glove changes, and ask whether the grill or fryer will be used exclusively for GF items on your order.
- If you are highly sensitive, consider requesting a dedicated prep space or surface and confirm the exact handling steps for your order before it’s prepared.
