No gluten free menu. Talked to three people and finally showed them a picture of the gluten free menu online and they said “yeah we don’t have that here.” No gluten free options besides salad. No dessert.

The waitress we had seemed very uncertain about everything and I couldn’t get a straight answer except that the Burger and fries was the safer choice so I went wire that and I was fine. It’s nice to be able to have fries. They didn’t ask how I wanted my burger cooked so it was pretty sad and dry. I would’ve liked other options but they really couldn’t confirm cross contamination of nachos, etc.

Proceed with caution ! I ordered the gluten free cheeseburger in paradise & gluten-free fries. Burger was good however I did receive fries with seasoning on them. Which isn't gluten free.

The food was safe… but it wasn’t good? I have a shellfish & gluten allergy and while I could eat everything I ordered (fries & chicken sandwich cooked in foil to avoid CC from shrimp on the flattop) it was very mediocre at best. I would have preferred no bun over what they gave me.

Hard rock was way better food & atmosphere - I’d recommend there!

Menu has little wheat symbols for options, pretty limited. I got a salad with grilled chicken on it, it was just ok. Wait was over an hour even though it wasn’t super crowded. Just an average meal but a good option to have!

The menu was marked with a little wheat sign to let you know it was able to be made without gluten. There wasn’t too much to pick from but they were on point with making sure it was gluten free. I had a southwestern salad which was delicious!

This is a must go whenever we are on vacation in Myrtle beach. After the waiter takes your order, The manager comes out and verifies it. He makes a tag to give to the kitchen that lets them know it’s an allergy and to change gloves, etc. The gluten free orders come out with a separate person. Never have had an issue after eating. Decent selection and dedicated fryer! Only think is it was a 1.5 hour wait on a Tuesday at 4:00. So put your name is first and then go and visit all the shops!

Went in the off season, so not busy...with that said I had a cheeseburger on gf bun and fries (from the dedicated fryer). Both were very good. Not a lot of fries. Server must have been new as they asked a more knowledgeable server for assistance but I was glad for the extra assurance! Did not get sick, burger was good.

Our server was very helpful, the manager came out to officially take our order and deliver our food, and we had no gluten issues during our visit. My boyfriend is celiac and was able to enjoy his meal without incident. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food (both gf and non-gf) and we also had some amazing drinks!

My 12 year old daughter received full on gluten at this restaurant not just contamination. The taco salad which was requested "Gluten Free Modified" contained tortilla strips with wheat (they were not supposed to be added to the salad)! She was sick for a full 24 hours. The manager and her staff could have cared less about the incident when it was brought to their attention. Their excuse, it was busy and we didn't call a manager (none were available at the time)!! Please don't eat here. I would hate for anyone to get sick. :-(

The place never let's me down. Waitress well aware of gluten allergy and the new menu points out GF options with a wheat symbol vs having a separate menu. Had the burger on GF bun with fries. Fries are cooked in separate fryer. The waitress even came back and alerted my wife who got the veggie burger if she was ok with gluten since I ordered a GF entre a she said she was fine with gluten. The veggie burger is apparently not GF for those that may not know. Anyway, great meal, environment and staff. Always love eating here, the one in Orlando is great too!

Super friendly staff. Our waiter, Wesley, was great. As soon as I told him I was celiac, he called the manager out to our table. She went over everything, explaining how they have a dedicated frier and space. The condiments for their burgers are all squeeze bottles so no cross-contamination there! I am so thankful they care so much.

Not gf and vegetarian friendly. Two year ago it was and now is a major letdown. Called ahead and we were told the veggie patty was gf, asked the host on arrival and were told veggie patty was gf, server was nice but not knowledgeable of gf. They screwed up our nachos twice. They told us the veggie patty was NOT gf as they delivered all the other meals. Of the five items our table ordered 4 were incorrect. Complete waste of time to go here.

In general: the food was okay. I spoke with a manager and decided on the gluten free burger on Udi's bread and apple slices without the caramel (because we couldn't veridy if it was gluten free). My child had a gluten reaction to something. milk? lettuce? tomato? beef patty? Who knows...? *I did call to let them know what happened and they did promise to figure out the glitch so future patrons will be safe.

Bummed. We've had great experiences at the one in Universal Studios Orlando but this one was a disappointment. We'd previewed the online menu to get an idea of our order only to find they had a "brand-new menu!" The fact that their gf dishes are designated with a tiny wheat shaft is probably pretty telling. Oh well. Proceed with caution.

I had the chicken sandwich and French fries. They use Udi's buns for the bread and they also have a dedicated fryer.

As a celiac vegetarian, it's hard to find options on most meat-based GF menus. Margaritaville is similar, but the server allowed me to get the chili on the side of my nachos so my boyfriend could have it instead. The nachos were great, and HUGE, and apparently safe from cross contamination! I really appreciated that the bartender was cautious when I ordered my drink, as he wasn't sure the watermelon flavoring was GF. The only hiccup was when our food was delivered all together – the server ended up dropping a crouton from my boyfriend's salad into the edge of the serving plate my food was on. I saw it immediately and removed it before it could touch my food, but it would have been a nightmare had it fallen into the actual food. I know the restaurant is busy, but this is why it's helpful to have a second server or manager deliver allergy-prepped food!

We took the VIP tour at Universal and lunch was included at Margaritaville. The server was knowledgable and told they had a dedicated frier (always a win) and they could accommodate most of the plates. My daughter had a cheese burgers with fries and really liked it. They also offered salmon, chicken and steak.

I was excited to have a good burger on GF bun. Some restaurants or fast food (like chick fil a) just give you a bun wrapped separately or they fall apart while eating. But this was a nicely toasted bun like a restaurant burger should be!! Was very good. Not too thick and didn’t fall apart while eating.
