So disappointed. Everything on the GF menu is cooked on the same grill with other gluten food. the waitress seemed knowledgeable and attentive but when my black bean soup arrived there were crackers on the plate. When I asked about the allergy protocol the runner said they did follow it but forgot to on this order. We also had a Birds Eye views into the kitchen. It is way too chaotic for me to trust that any allergy protocols were taken seriously. Food is meh so don't rush here

Enjoyed my meal! Great place, great service, great food, didn’t get sick. Had the black bean hummus with plantain chips. They have a dedicated fryer. Also had the yard bird skewers. Delish!

This was a great place. Had to wait 45 minutes, but they have a window outside where we ordered drinks and waited foe our table. Service was great and the food was really good. I got the rice bowl with steak and plantains, but without beans. Definitely would go back if in that area again!

Excellent food drinks and service. The wait times are very long but worthwhile if you don't need to be anywhere 😉 Key west chill!

Server was conscientious and even brought ingredient list for salad dressing. Chef stopped by to check on food after it was served. Smallish gluten free menu - I was told they want to stick to a few things they know they can do safely. Excellent chicken skewer appetizer that could easily be a meal. Key West bowl very tasty. Attentive service. No reservations.

Staff is knowledgeable. I’ve eaten here three times and never been sick. Be sure to clarify with your server though, as some appeared to be absent minded. For example, the plantains have to be pan fried, not deep fried. The food portions were great and the food tasted amazing.

My husband and I sat at the bar and Shakespeare was extremely knowledgeable about Celiac. We had the ribs for appetizers and I had the Key West bowl for my entree. Everything was excellent. Great service from Shakespeare and Sierra!

Menu items are marked GF- which means gluten friendly. But speaking with the server gave us confidence to order safely to be celiac safe- as long as we avoid items that are fried. The ribs and key west bowl were fabulous!

New to the area dropping daughter off to collage thought we would try this place . Was a bit disappointed when I asked the waitress about gluten-free options and she said the food was gluten friendly not gluten-free because there was food with gluten prepared in the same kitchen. Had the plantain with pork appetizer and the KW bowl both were delicious and no reaction.
