Chick-A-Dee of Lewiston

Sure, they have several gluten free options. The problem (huge problem for Celiacs) is cross-contamination. We have been 3 times, and after every visit, my husband has been very sick. The last visit, he found a regular fried clam in his French fries. No dedicated fryer if something like that is happening. That’s enough.

Fried food and fries!! 4 great experiences so far. Definitely recommend. As always it’s good to tell them several times you have an allergy to make sure it gets entered for the kitchen staff.

We were so excited about the large gluten free menu!! We ordered more than we could eat, but unfortunately 3 hours later our celiacs were so sick we had to pull over and the rest is.. not pretty. We also had to throw away all of our takeout because we don’t know which items were the culprit. Very disappointed.

There were plenty of GF choices including fish and pasta. French fries are GF. Everything was delicious and the service was pleasant. There is a separate Gf menu. We would definitely eat here again!

I've been to spinnakers in wells for GF seafood which is a significant drive so when this place was recommended to us we had to try it out. 100% recommend! I find it better tasting than spinnakers. Will definitely be back!

Enjoyable dining experience. Dedicated GF menu, and they seemed very familiar with GF concerns. Food was very good, especially the fried Haddock.

They have an extensive GF menu (including onion rings and fried seafood). I do wish they’d offer GF breadcrumbs vs. just batter as I’m not as much of a fan. But beggars can’t be choosers in her GF world yet ;)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had seen this restaurant listed on the Find Me Gluten Free app as a way to find GF-friendly locations in the Lewiston-Auburn area to dine at. My parents were in town and I thought it would be a good idea to check it out as it’s a place my wife who is GF could enjoy.

Sadly, we did not have the experience we were hoping for. The GF menu was a tattered print out from the website and compared to the standard menu looked third-rate. Our server, while perky and positive, disappeared several times for long stretches, most annoyingly seconds after asking if we were ready to order. She also handed my mother and I the wrong plates.

My parents complained to my wife and I that their food was overly greasy, and my wife’s food looked like it had been left in the fryer for far too long and cooked by someone with no experience in cooking GF dishes.

I felt bad for my wife and my parents because I was looking forward to sharing my first meal with my parents in nearly two years as they travelled 8 hours to visit, and the experience was marred by what I now believe was a drastic mistake.

My wife and I will not be back.

Went for the first time with visiting family members tonight. We all had fried seafood and were disappointed. Family members indicated their food was overly greasy and my own food (gluten free) was overcooked. My husband's onion rings looked normal while mine were dark brown on the inside. Seafood was cooked so long that it both clams and haddock were dried out.

Slow service and bad food - I was embarrassed to bring my in-laws there. We won't be back.

Enjoyed the chicken nuggets 🙂 They must have been careful about CC because I didn’t get sick!!!

Best burger I’ve had, since being diagnosed. Thank you for the clean, hand cut fries. I will be back weekly.
