Bob Chinn's Crab House

I was very impressed with this establishment's accomadations do my allergies. There were meal tickets that were attached to each dish specifying the dish had to be made gluten free and the server even recommended ways of cooking the food that were already gluten free.

Great seafood and they're very careful to accommodate about any allergy. Our kryptonite was dairy, gluten and MSG. They made notes on each order and all food came out with the labels to assure they got things right. Food was amazing, we got lucky to come when they were serving Opakapaka. Three of us agree it was the best fish we've ever had. I've eaten here eight or nine times with no issues.

This restaurant is some of the best/freshest seafood in the Chicagoland area. Almost everything can be modified to be made gluten free. The crab legs are my usual go to here, but the stir fried entrees are very flavorful as well.

They also make sure to Mark allergy on the ticket and the food that comes out from the kitchen.

Limited options to charbroiled fish and plain vegetables. Most items are fried (include calamari both ways fried) and not available. Limited knowledge from server on choices, ordered scallops as appetizer and waitress served them with allergy ticket and a sauce that she said I should “probably avoid”

The waitress was really helpful and put in an allergy ticket with my order. I had the king crab legs, blackened halibut, and sides of steamed jasmine rice and steamed green beans. She even brought out a fresh cup of their garlic oil and a specially-prepared serving of their garlic sauce for me to eat with the crab since I couldn't have the drawn butter that usually comes with it. Everything was really tasty an the crab legs were big and meaty. Will definitely return.

Sat at the bar and split a great meal with my husband. Our bartender also had Celiac and made me feel so comfortable ordering. Will definitely be back. MaiTais are gluten free and delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

If you like fish you can order chargrilled or blackened just make sure you specify a gluten allergy to the staff and they will write a special allergy ticket for the chicken. They withheld the breadcrumbs and soy sauce for my order and I didn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good, seafood, salad. Good service, restaurant is busy but they keep up with the crowd and have a large dining room. Waitress said that they put an allergy ticket with your dish when you tell them GF.
