Clare & Don's Beach Shack

Yeah. Still shared fryer, even though items are marked gf. Had Ceviche, substituted corn tortillas for chips but had to convince the waiter of need for sub due to "allergy". Ceviche was just okay. Friend ordered salad with chicken, came out of kitchen with shrimp - she is highly allergic to shellfish. Waiter was very apologetic. Their outdoor space is amazing. Crowded by 5:30 on a Friday. Drinks are cold. Live music is good, but very loud. A great place to drink, hold the food.

They do not have a gluten free fryer and most items on the menu marked GF are fried. Limited options for GF meal, fun place with live music on the patio.

Their menu has GF options, but they do not have a dedicated fryer, so almost all of the GF options are cross contaminated. They do concern themselves with celiac customers and will come out to talk to you about what you can have. The selection is very limited!

Celiac friendly?

No

No dedicated fryer as of April 2016. Not everything marked gluten-free on menu is truly gf since some of it is made in the shared fryer. Server was very helpful when I said I have celiac and he said the kitchen would use separate pans. I didn't get sick at all. Fun place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have an extensive gluten free menu with soups, chili, seafood, tacos, taco bowls, salads etc
