Islands Restaurant

This is NOT a celiac friendly place. They have a gluten free menu, sure, but I was glutened here and developed the worst case of DH I’ve ever seen because of it. I’ve never dealt with DH before this. But it literally was all over my body. My toes, feet, ankles, calves, knees, thighs, arms, scalp, my face, and my hands were covered in it like gloves. Do not waste your time with this establishment. Even when you make it crystal clear that you have celiac disease and need the kitchen to change their gloves you’ll still end up sick.

They always ask if you have an allergy or a sensitivity, and I’ve never gotten sick from eating here. The gluten free buns are actually really tasty and soft! Huge plus! You can also get the tacos on corn tortillas or a beach bowl- but ask for no sauce because the sauce has gluten in it.

We used our Nimasensor and the fries are definitely gluten-free!! They have dedicated fryers and are aware of cross-contamination. Appreciate their efforts!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable, they have a gluten free menu, but a lot of the regular menu can be made gluten free by using the GF bun. The teriyaki sauce has gluten in it but the fries are gluten free (and delicious).

Gluten free menu designated. I was feeling sick, so I got a Kobb salad. It was AWESOME! Most times you get lettuce and a little fixings... This was jam packed with tasty goodness.

Got a burger & fries, did not react. Food was decent, gf items clearly marked. Server knew what she was talking about.

Lots of gluten free options on the menu. Had teh bacon cheese burger and fries which were both fantastic.

Went here on a busy Sunday night. Seated right away and rapid service for the order. Then nothing, took 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. Food arrived on time, but we had to ask 3 times for drink refills before they arrived. We felt like we were on an island!

Great food and we had a great time otherwise.

Please PLEASE do NOT eat the specialty fries available even if it says GF on the menu. They’re in fact not. The waitress confirmed that they fry the fries in the same fryer they use for all other foods (including gluten). I did get a chicken sandwich on a gluten free bread. It was ok, but was just really disappointed about the fries.
