Gluten free heaven. Every item on the menu can be made gluten free! (With one exception: Cajun Sandwich.) They use a dedicated fryer and our server was very knowledgeable, and gluten free himself. He was able to recommend all fried items since it's so rare to find fried gf food, and also talked about how the gluten free buns they use are some of the best. They also have lettuce wraps as an option. Finding a place with this level of options in a safe manner is great and I highly recommend!

(They also have an amazing outdoor seating area directly across from the beach. Lots of tables and yard games!)

Happened upon this place after our first choice had a 2 hour wait. Very happy to find a new safe restaurant. Our celiac child had the chips and queso, chicken tenders and fries. They had a pretty bug selection of gf items. It was definitely more bar like downstairs but upstairs was family friendly for my 9 year old celiac.

3 of my kids and I have celiac disease. I am symptomatic and am extremely sensitive to cross contact exposure, especially airborne.

I emailed the restaurant to ensure their fried chicken and fries are not fried with anything that has gluten and they assured me they are not fried with anything that has gluten.

One of my kids got the fried fish basket and the only complaint was that he wanted more fish! He said it was absolutely delicious!

My other kids and I got the chicken strip baskets and we all were raving about how delicious they were! Even my non celiac kid who loves for chicken strips said they were better than gluten-filled strips! Their fried were so good as well!

We also We got their chips and dips (salsa and guac), and they were delicious.

It’s SUCH a treat to be able to splurge and indulge like this on vacation. It’s so rare for us to have plenty of options at a restaurant, so to have the option to get tortilla chips, fries, AND chicken strips all at one place was SO amazing!

We are so grateful to have found a little gem like this!

Thanks Chiringo! You nailed it!

10/10 !!!! You can’t tell it’s any different from gluten-filled stuff. I have very sensitive celiac and had zero issues. They automatically fry gluten free and have SO MANY options. Its rice flour and the shrimp basket was phenomenal.

It is a bar but there’s outside seating as well! Parents w/ kids be advised its 21+ after 9pm, but still very good.

Staff is super kind & knowledgeable. I can’t speak to offerings at the bar but the sweet tea was amazing.

Truly such a good time & experience, locals & tourists were there which is always a good sign. Can’t recommend enough

Fried shrimp, chicken tenders and fries…delicious and all are made gluten free in a dedicated fryer. Fried shrimp tacos were yummy! We are here twice during a recent stay. No reactions for me or my celiac daughter. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere and great food. My husband had a kid's shrimp and fry basket for an appetizer and a bowl with blackened red grouper. I had already eaten beans and rice that day so I just had fresh squeezed juice, corn chips, french fries and cucumber salad. We were both completely safe!

Can’t ask for much more as a Celiac diner! Delicious fried food like shrimp and chicken (only lightly fried so you don’t leave feeling gross). On top of that, the atmosphere is incredible, way better than anything on seaside. Staff knowledgeable and helpful. Really only gluten on the menu is sandwich bread. They homemake sauces etc. We went here twice in a week. Can also accommodate Peanut allergies. Worth the drive!

WOW! A must go if you are in the area. Just about everything on the menu is GF other than the obvious flour tortillas and Mac and cheese. The chicken tenders are GF and were awesome. The fries were so amazing we downed a second basket. Make sure to try the chicken wings too. My daughter and I are both celiac and neither felt a hint of symptoms.

I really enjoyed the food here. Wanted a little more from the breading but still okay. Parking is tough so park at the designated shuttle lot and walk or ride the bus over. We were lucky to get a spot right out front. We made reservations too because they can be busy. Side note: their card reader was down and they could only accept cash which gave us a bit anxiety that we would miss our reservation. But thankfully the bar across the street has an ATM if you need it.

Hostess was nice. Asked my waiter about gluten free procedure and if they changed gloves or anything. He kinda shrugged it off and said no and that “most gluten free people who eat here don’t ever get sick”. A little concerning considering they’re handling bread. I opted for the fried shrimp basket and a fried shrimp taco. Loved the taco. No reaction (which is unfortunately always a gamble and not a guarantee).

Good margarita and nice view of the beach.

Oh and the fried plantains are love.

We visited based off of previous reviews and it was worth the trip. The staff was very knowledgeable on gluten and dairy and there were several options for gf. I ordered the chicken strips and fries. The fries alone were worth the trip. The chicken strips were ok, but I would definitely go back. Neat little area. Park at Grayton beach and ride the shuttle up. There is very little parking.

This restaurant was so much fun! When I asked, I was told that everything in the menu except buns, mac & cheese, and the pizza was gluten free. All fried foods were safe bested they use rice flour. The guacamole with homemade tortilla chips was amazing. My wheat allergic son got to have fries (yay!) and chicken fingers. Also, the shrimp tacos in corn tortillas were really, really good. The atmosphere was bright and tropical with views of the ocean. I’d definitely recommend.

Hands down the best place for Celiacs on 30A. The manager is very well trained on cross contamination. The only items that contain gluten are the buns and the Mac and cheese. All fried food is made with rice flour. Can not recommend Chirangos enough!!!!

Food was great, and almost everything was gluten-free. Waitress was knowledgeable.
