Castaways Raw Bar & Grill

Do not eat here! This place is a joke. Wonder if people who wrote good reviews were drunk. Ordered the GF bbq chicken bites. Server brought them out, but then asked if we couldn’t eat gluten, because they were BREADED IN FLOUR!! Took them back. They were out of corn tortillas, so no tacos. Got mahi….next to no flavor, probably gf, but who knows at this point?! Order a bun less “gf” hotdog for kid, but had to pay $8.50 for a side and drink we didn’t want. The server was nice, but didn’t seem to know the menu very well or have any idea what gluten was. Menu looked better online

I had the shrimp and grits that were very good. Love the cheese grits! They said they have separate gluten free chips and the dips are gluten free and they have gluten free wraps to sub for the wraps. So a good amount of dishes can be made gluten free. Very kind staff.

My daughter has celiac and although they don't offer a gluten free menu, they provided us with a list of their GF products and were knowledgeable on how to prepare her food. She enjoyed her lunch and had no reaction.

We ordered a burger with no bun online and specified a wheat allergy in the special requests section. When we arrived to pick up the food they double checked and did a glove change. Food was good and most importantly, no gluten related issues afterward. We did not check the fries but assumed they shared a fryer. We would definitely eat here again!

Hostesses didn't know what gluten free meant but the server and manager were very knowledge. Very good food with a nice amount of gf options!

I have Celiac and my son does too. We ate here twice and did not get sick. They had Red Bridge beer. There was no specific GF menu, but the server the first day was extremely knowledgeable and double checked everything. The second day, the server we had did not instill the same level of confidence, but everything was still ok. The crab dip was amazing, we had it with tortilla chips instead of pita points. My son ordered some Cajun sausage onions and rice dish. I had pork tacos over tortilla chips as they did not have corn tortillas. The second day my son had the same thing, I had a Greek salad with potato salad in the middle. They had wasabi coleslaw and a great mango pepper salsa. Fries are not safe. Other items on the menu like shrimp and grits might be ok. A great option at the beach!
