Review of Friendly Waves

We had a great experience here! My wife is gluten-free and also allergic to soy. We read about the many gluten-free options here and had hope. When we arrived, Sampson greeted us and talked to us about the menu and we could tell right away he was very knowledgeable about gluten free and other allergy needs, in fact he explained they built their restaurant and processes around not using gluten. There are a few items that use it, but not many (and he was very clear on what these were) and they don’t fry anything with gluten. Got that? Anything fried is gluten-free!!! They do use soy in their oil, but they are able to setup a pan fry with non-soy oil if you call ahead or are willing to wait a little longer for the prep. We got Fish and Chips (with fresh tuna), steak nachos (corn chips fried in the non-soy oil, delicious!), and a burger with a rice based thick pancake as a bun (also delicious). Would highly recommend!
