Steamers are safe, if you like seafood there are options. Nothing else is GF, and is a shared fryer so nothing fried if you are celiac. Not an extremely clean restaurant.

Went here with a large party of 17. Wanted to get the Crabby Mary drink but they could not confirm if it was gluten free, at first the bartender and waiter said it was then changed their minds. I'm am glad they were willing to check the ingredients on all the things in this drink but I would have also gotten the drink if they would have taken out anything suspicious. I asked the waiter many questions and he did not know the answer but did go in the back to ask questions. I ended up sharing a 1/2 dozen of the Jimmies/blue crabs and shrimp and grits with my husband. The shrimp and grits came out served with bread in the bowl even though the menu had this item marked as gf and did not staye bread was served with this item. I had to send this back and they asked me if I wanted it remade or have the bread taken off. I told them remade or I would have a reaction from the bread touching the food. I am not sure they really know what gluten free means here even though their menu is marked with gf items. Overall the food was ok, I don't think I would be back again though, there are better places in the area to eat.

I have celiacs and this place worked with me. I had the Dungeness crab with drawn butter and the low country boil on the side. I had no problem, but my advice is to stay away from anything from the fryer. It's cross contaminated. My food was really good.

Ate here for lunch. They had a few GF options, BUT their fries are marked GF, but other things are fried in the same fryer (according to the waiter), so I'm not sure they really know GF. My very sensitive celiac daughter had the chicken tenderloins, smashed potatoes and ranch dressing and had no reaction. I'm not sure the food was good enough for us to return, GF or not.

Restaurant was ok. I have 7 food allergies including gluten (CD), tomatoes, broccoli, peas, almonds, pork and avocados. I also have IBS so salads are out. I had steamed shrimp and grits. The grits were pretty good. The shrimp steamers were peel and eat which was a mess to eat. The quantity of food wasn't good. My friend that I was dining with said her fried fish was just "ok". There are better places. Check out Barefoot Bernies. They had a big GF menu.

Anything that was gluten free was labeled "GF" on their menu, which was nice but most of it was entrees. Wouldn't recommend for lunch unless you want a salad or want to spend $15+ per person on a single item. Staff wasn't the friendliest either. Atmosphere was lame. Worked in a pinch, but wouldn't come here again.

Gluten free items are clearly marked on the menu. There are options to substitute side dishes for gluten free. They carry Red Bridge beer as well. Our waitress was also a registered nurse and knew all about gluten free.
