Drop Anchor Seafood & Grill

The wait person was very knowledgeable and the menu states optional ways of cooking food as they do not have a dedicated fryer. Tasty food, the chowder is gluten free too!

Love this place. Usually get the cod fish and chips with the chowder. All are GF. Have to have it pan fried. Also, sweet potato fries instead of potatoes.

The cobbler is AMAZING 🤩😻🤩

This place has gfree options but man the food leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a total diner-salad is plain lettuce and bay shrimp, no vegetables. The main course had absolutely no flavor. None. We ordered sautéed for gfree but it’s not sautéed. It’s boiled or poached. Zero seasoning. Zero flavor. Zero color to the food. It’s bad. Really bad. We spent a lot of money hoping for fresh seafood and it was beyond disappointing. The meals just come with blah seafood, a side like a baked potato, and that’s all. No vegetables. Nothing. The only good thing was the server was very friendly and kind.

absolutely amazing, they have gluten free buns and bread for sandwiches, and even the fish and chips can be made gluten free. any of the fish (even for the sandwiches) can be cooked gluten free! the only thing is no separate frier for the fries, but you can get other sides! they are very good about accommodating for gluten and dairy free- i was so so surprised to find gluten and dairy free desserts! they have a deep dish apple crumble and marionberry cobbler, both dairy and gluten free. the staff is very nice. totally recommend!

I had a call in order and the lady who answered my call was very knowledgeable. She told me their fryer isn’t a dedicated fryer and took me through my options. I got grilled halibut even though it said it was fried fish and chips. I was impressed with their knowledge and willingness to make something I could eat.

Many gluten free options. The restaurant caters very well to celiacs. Didn't feel any symptoms. Had the baked potato with clams and chowder, and a cider.

Best clam chowder I have had in years. They are so accommodating. Ordered the halibut and the steamer clams as well. Plus the Deep dish apple crumble.

Everything was delicious.

Came over from Astoria, Oregon to try the food here and was not disappointed. The clam chowder was so reasonably priced and so delicious. Also enjoyed pan-fried local oysters and the GF cod fish and chips. Very friendly and Celiac aware service.

So delicious! The server knew about the GF breading and made sure to tell me the fries are flour coated. The loaded baked potato was DELICIOUS and I had 7 pieces of pan fried cod for my entree. So much food, I would go back in. heartbeat!

Their clam chowder is gluten free and amazing!! The gluten free hamburger buns are also great and don't fall apart. They do offer gluten free breading for their cod but the fryer is not dedicated. They did offer to pan fry for us.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had the best gluten free clam chowder ever. Hot, creamy and full of clams. And don't miss the gluten free marionberry cobbler!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The clam chowder is delicious and gluten free and a lot of the menu items that are fried can be coated in gluten free flour and pan fried. Only thing I couldn’t order was fries as there is no dedicated fryer. There is also several dessert items that are also made gluten. Overall tasty food and our server was very knowledgeable about what can be made gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not as good as I had hoped for. Lunch consisted of a salad with shrimp, and a soup that resembled chowder but lacked luster.

This place is delicious!! They have GF clam chowder and let me just tell you- amazing! I am a seafood loving girl and I have not been able to eat clam chowder in forever and it was good! Staff in knowledgeable and even went out of her way to look something up with the manufacturer! Would most definitely visit again! ( if I wasent from VA)

pathetic food and service. go up the road to castaways for better service, food, and gluten understanding.
