Food was delicious. A long wait but exactly the amount of time they told us and worth it. Lovely seating outdoors and on the beach.

Had a gluten free menu and staff was very knowledgeable and careful.

food here was great! they have a completely separate gluten free menu which is so helpful. you can get a sandwich with either no bread or a gluten free bun. the bun was really good it wasn’t weird and grainy like a lot of bread i’ve tried. the service there is so good and i 100% recommend going here. i got the Hawaiian chicken sandwich, it was super good and i loved it! if i even have a little bit of gluten i will get sick, that did not happen to me at all while i was here. my stomach didn’t hurt or anything. i really recommend trying this place out the next time your in clearwater beach florida.

The gluten free menu would be considered gluten friendly to me… ordered ceviche but was then told that the chips were fried with everything else🥴 then when ordering I asked for coleslaw which I was then told that it was possibly not gluten free by the waitress even tho it was listed on the gluten free menu🤔 decent grilled grouper but really really good drinks and I didn’t get sick

Have a gf menu. Nice options. Server was knowledgeable. My meal came out with an allergy flag so that made me feel pretty confident about the safety. No reaction.

They have GF menu including drinks. Several items on the menu-no GF buns or bread but have salads and no bun options. They have drink options listed also. A good place to stop in for lunch.

They had a large gluten free menu option but I was in the mood for a salad. Had a ceaser salad with chicken and it was amazing. If you’re in the mood for a small meal such as a salad I highly recommended.

Well I saw this place on this app. Went their to have a grouper sandwich was terrible no gluten free buns. The grouper wasn’t seasoned terrible taste. Everything is cross contaminated. Don’t order fries, or coleslaw it’s not gluten free. Just terrible would t never go back their. The menu for gluten feee is very poor. Stay away find another place. Their menu is very dishonest about gluten free menu.

We just stopped in for drinks at Frenchys Rockaway on the beach. The menu had 7 drinks marked GF and the waiter offered to tailor others. Try the Basil Berry Cooler or the 3 Daughters Cider brewed in St. Pete’s

Everything is fried in the same fryer. I risked it and got boiled shrimp. It was ok but like the only thing that seemed safe. The waitress told me that their oil is A high enough temp I should be fine so they aren’t very knowledgeable about celiac.

Staff was very knowledgeable. Even their alcoholic beverages were marked gluten free. I had the grilled grouper, garlic mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. I also added a side Cesar salad. It was good and I didn’t get sick. Would like to return to try some of the other options for food.

Although the staff was knowledgeable, there was a GF menu, and the food did not get me sick, the food was mediocre in quality. On top of that the portions are lacking compared to the non GF items on their menu.

Wow! This is the first time since I have been in Clearwater Beach (we have been on vacation for 3 full days so far) that all staff - front and back of the house - went out of the way to make sure my food was safe from cross-contamination. All of my questions were answered with a smile! My hot dog was cooked in a separate pan. After speaking to the bartender, Jay, he made it clear that they take all “allergies” seriously. Each person, down to the runner, must wash their hands before touching the plate that will be served to you. When my food came out, it had a huge flag that designated the allergy. I truly appreciated the lengths Frenchy’s Rockaway went to allow me to eat a GF meal without worry. We will be going back!

Very knowledgeable waiter. He told me they will switch gloves when preparing the food. When my meal came out it was marked with an allergy flag. Waiter was well aware of cross contamination. Would recommend. Also as a plus they had all of the drinks marked, this is the only restaurant in the area that seemed safe to get a frozen drink.

The wait staff was wonderful, as is the view. But unfortunately there was almost nothing on the menu I could eat. In contrast to other reviews, there was no GF menu and most items, including jerk and Cajun, were not GF.

Our server was knowledgeable which was great but I was disappointed with the food. $10 for a small piece of chicken with cheese on and mushrooms. Mushrooms were not even listed on the menu, but I like mushrooms so it was okay.

Gluten free menu offered. Our server was kind enough to point out about my French fry order being in a shared fryer, which I was ok with. I appreciated her attentiveness with the issue. I had grouper, fruit and fries. Delish!

The food choices were decent and they fed 3 celiacs without getting us sick. Service was good even though they were packed. Wait staff seemed knowledgeable.

I wouldn't recommend this place for celiacs and not highly for those with sensitivity - they say at the top of the GF menu that they can't guarantee there isn't some cross contamination. And the waiter admitted that "every day they find out something they serve has gluten in it." The sandwiches on the GF menu don't come with gf bread or buns - just the insides of the sandwich. Kind of lame. But they did offer plenty of salads and entrees.

They allowed us to get creative for our son, grilled chicken cut up and have lays chips. We ordered the grilled seafood medley and had no issues. Sauce was brought out with the meals but we were told not to eat them. (They were in their own container with a lid). Service was slow but food was good!

Do not eat here unless you want to get sick. They have a gluten-free menu but have no idea what they are doing. I ate here on 2 separate occasions; I ordered the seafood ceviche which should be naturally gluten free...just seafood marinated in lime juices. For some reason, they brought it out with some sort of chips on top. When I asked the food runner if these chips were fried separately from other breaded items, he responded "Yes, they were cooked in a dedicated fryer." With such confidence, I proceeded to eat, only to have the server run out and tell me there is no desisted fryer. I went back to Frenchy's today to try once more hoping it was a fluke; unfortunately not. I ordered the tuna over a bed of mandarins oranges and greens; it came out with an open Asian salad dressing which spilled onto my salad. When I asked the server if the dressing was gluten-free she said she didn't know. She asked the chefs and sure enough she brought out new salad dressing bc they didn't think so. I was so close to eating that salad dressing too! Don't eat here unless you feel like interrogating them about every item they bring out to you.
