Jack Mackerels Island Grill

This place has improved tremendously since the last review. They don't have a separate gf menu but the regular menu has clearly marked gf items. There are many selections of various types. GF pasta. seafoods, steak, salads. Staff said they take food allergies seriously and take special precautions to prevent cross contamination. Delicious food! I would definitely recommend.

Ordered a Caesar with no croutons after telling server of celiac. Salad came out with croutons. Sent it back. It came out with croutons clearly just taken off of same salad. Talked to manager. She personally made the next salad. They have GF Alfredo pasta which is excellent. Hopefully the staff can be educated more and better

Not celiac friendly. They do not have a dedicated fryer, and minimal options and knowledge. This was pretty disappointing since we had gone out of our way hoping for fish and chips.

The waitress was so nice and understanding for my gluten free needs. This was the first time I’ve eaten out since getting my Celiac diagnosis. The waitress didn’t make me feel uncomfortable at all! The waitress went back and forth to the kitchen to insure everything I wanted to eat was safe and gluten free! I will eat here again!!

We went there and I first asked about the kids burger if it had fillers or anything and if I ordered without the bun would it be gluten free. Server said yes. Ok. Then I asked about the fries if they were gluten free. She said they are just regular fries. Asked again when they arrived because they looked like they had a coating. She said they are just regular fries. Then the server FINALLY went to the kitchen and asked and they had changed from the regular gluten free fries to fries with a coating that were NOT gluten free! Unfortunately my kid had already eaten half of them because we had been assured twice that they were gluten free. The server told us they were regular gluten free fries without actually checking and I specifically asked about coatings on the fries.

I ate the fries with my broiled fish....should have had steamed veggies or baked potato. I did not ask enough question about the fryer. Will go back but will ask more questions next time.Editors note - other reviewers have said they do have a dedicated fryer.
