Haleiwa Joe's

Okay the cutest spot! Open air restaurant with really pretty views. They don't do reservations and get super busy so either arrive when they open or try to sit at the bar (like we did).

Food was really yummy and they were able to tell me what could be GF (no specific menu)

The views here are spectacular and not to be missed. The service leaves much to be desired. Two of our five meals had to be sent back and neither the waiter or manager wanted to work with us. No gluten-free menu, and not very many options. I ended up having the grilled fish, which was very good. Overall the atmosphere and food was good. The staff was only helpful about my allergy, they made everything else difficult for our party.

They are very knowledgeable and always ensure my meal is safe. I eat there all the time and I have never felt sick at all. I get the New York strip with garlic mashed potatoes.

Ordered marlin with pesto. Waiter was knowledgeable and confirmed with the chef that all items would be GF and safe for the dishes I was considering. The staff that brought our food also confirmed that my dish was GF. I don’t often eat fish, but it was delicious and I had no issues afterwards

Our server was very knowledgeable about what could and could not be made gluten-free, and seemed to have a good understanding of the issue. They have a number of appetizers, salads, entrees, and a couple of desserts that can be made gluten-free. I had the sautéed mushroom appetizer and the sundae dessert, and shared the New York strip steak with my Fiancée. She had the chocolate cheesecake (NOT GF), which she loved. We both felt everything was extremely good. An excellent choice if you want a good GF meal and you aren’t on a tight budget.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best food hands down. Staff is VERY knowledgeable with gluten allergies. Large portions that are very filling. Wish I had more time to eat here again. I ate the grilled Ono with mashed potatoes, appetizer of peel and eat shrimp was fantastic. A must stop!

Great experience. our waitress was great and knew preparation practices and ingredients for everything on the menu. while there was no dedicated gf menu, the dinner was excellent and we had no contamination issues.
