We had dinner here last night . I have celiac . Great service from the server navigating the menu . Almost everything can be made gluten free. I had grilled swordfish with a lemon butter sauce , garlic mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli. All delicious and no issues at all ! Highly recommend!

They did a great job. We did take out for a mixed eating group. The person who took our order on the phone was well trained and knew what was safe or potentially cross contaminated. The hot lobster roll was delicious!

This is an excellent seafood place. There is no gluten free batter for seafood available. However, there were a number of gluten free options. The staff were very knowledgeable about gf needs. They have gf pasta for sure. I can’t remember what else. I would definitely go back for a seafood fix.

This place was a celiacs dream!! The waitress and chef are very knowledgeable and helpful! They have baked fries so I was able to enjoy + they can make the breakfast potatoes safe too and not flash fry. I had the lobster roll and the bread was so fresh I could cry!!

My son has Celiac and my wife has a gluten intolerance. We have been to Flanders Fish several times now and always have a great experience. Every staffmember we've had is knowledgeable about celiac and found out tonight one of them has a gluten allergy herself. That aside, the food and ambience are great. The GF clam pizza is top notch and any of the fish can be cooked gf.

No gluten free menu. Items on menu are NOT marked gluten free. They do offer gluten free pizza crust and gluten free pasta, but they were out of gf pizza dough when we were there. Waitress not very knowledgeable about what was gluten free. Food was alright, but nothing memorable.

Wheat Allergy

Overall Rating

Review


The staff seemed to really understand the allergy situation. They guaranteed that they prepare the food safely.

I was very excited that they had a clear broth clam chowder that was safe, as well as that they made me a fresh stuffed flounder, omitting the breadcrumbs. It was very delicious!! My husband had grilled swordfish which was also safe for me to steal a few bits of! They allow you to pick out any item from the fresh case and will cook it for you, which was awesome!

Great experience for dinner last night. I’d called earlier in the day, and as soon as I asked about gluten-free options due to Celiac, the woman I spoke with launched into how they would change gloves, cook separately, etc so I felt comfortable taking my CD daughter there. Our waitress was fantastic & double-checked in any menu item we questioned. Our daughter had the clear clam chowder, grilled salmon & mashed potatoes and loved every bite. My mother and I, neither Celiac, enjoyed our meals as well.

Took a large party here: 5 adults and 6 children. My 3 kids are mildly allergic to gluten and soy so children's menu was not an option for them, but they happily dine on adult portions wherever we go. Entrees took almost an hour to be served and when my son was halfway through he discovered a wheat noodle at the bottom of his "gluten free" pasta. The manager never came out to apologize. Obviously all pastas are prepared on shared equipment. The other 3 children had kids meals which had smaller portions but also include a scoop of ice cream which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Overall food was tasty but service was poor all around.

Great experience here! No separate gluten free menu, but most items are available gluten free, including burgers, lobster roll, etc. Fries were off limits though. Wait staff was knowledgeable and considerate. Highly recommend!
