Jd's Woodfire Grill

For a place that is new to gluten free, they are so accommodating. They have gluten free pasta, gluten free buns, and gluten free pizza. The manager advised against the pizza for celiac because it is not prepared in a separate space. They have a separate fryer for fries. Our waitress was super knowledgeable about allergies of all kinds and very willing to double check things that she didn’t know. She always aired on the side of caution and asked me lots of questions to ensure my safety. I had a sushi roll as an appetizer and was brought separate gluten free soy sauce. The kitchen then made me shrimp scampi gluten and dairy free which was delicious. My partner ordered a burger on a gluten free bun (she doesn’t have an allergy but prefers to stay gluten free so as not to cross contaminate anything I’m eating). Hers came out on a regular bun which we noticed immediately and they were very apologetic and fixed it and brought her a new one.

Do not eat here.

I got the Fresh Pizza on a gluten-free crust. The pizza arrived at our table looking like it had been to hell and back. I was a slice and a half in when I started feeling sick. Spent the rest of the meal in the bathroom. I am still nauseous at the time of writing and it's been over 4 hours since the meal.

The silver lining is that the waitstaff are very friendly and comped the pizza without any sort of pushback. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about celiac and the menu, and I thoroughly hope he gets a new job at a restaurant where the kitchen cares about what they make and the people they serve it to. He deserves better.

Final note: while I was in the bathroom I bonded with a woman who was also having a bad reaction to the food. Sounds like she discovered she was lactose intolerant tonight.

Great friendly staff. We love it here. Mainly for $1 oyster and clam happy hour.

I was told different answers by different staff members, and I got very sick after eating here. Not recommended.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was knowledgeable and took proper precautions to ensure meal was safe. My husband had the lobster roll on a GF bun and a salad. They had GF pizza as well though we didn't try.

Was given different answers by different staff. Was able to determine gluten free pizza is cooked in same oven as regular pizza.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great happy hour and good vide at JDs. Had a dozen clams, dozen oysters and a bottle of wine for $50... I'll take it. Would come back.

Accommodating, knowledgeable, and very careful! Service was very attentive to celiac needs. Only drawback was no dedicated fryer.
