JJ's Eatery

This restaurant has closed.

They have lots of marked GF options, but staff is young and not really GF aware. Definitely not celiac safe — but not bad for others who have a GF diet. Very salty chowder. Excellent GF Maine beer (Ixnay). So-so lobster roll using an Udi’s brioche bun. Felt a bit overpriced. Open year around, which is a big plus for the OOB area!

Outstanding GF rolls. The lobster roll was amazing and the seafood gumbo... delicious! We're coming back for breakfast.

Back again 2 years later, just as good.

I ordered the GF lobster roll and was violently ill. I should have known better. The waitress was unsure what was GF. Although they do have a GF menu, they served me a regular roll. I would not recommend for any Celiacs.

La nourriture était correcte mais sans plus. Semble bien pour cœliaque.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great menu choices, staff was very respectful of my daughter's Celiac Disease. This place is in a great central location to the shops at Old Orchard Beach.

Wonderful options for dinner and breakfast. Was able to get chicken parm. Safe for celiacs.

Good selection if cross contamination isn't a problem for you.

They were super friendly and helpful. They had plenty of gluten free options and I felt safe eating there. I recommend their corn beef hash for breakfast paired with their gluten free Bloody Mary's.

Had great breakfast menu & lobster rolls. Highly recommended

1 star as they had 1 gluten free beer. Food is bland and I puked all afternoon after eating there so their gluten free food is not safe. Will never go again

Has a variety of foods that people like me can have. They were extremely careful with my food. SUPER helpful. They have chicken fingers I can eat !! Family friendly restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

Quite a few breakfast options including French toast which is perfect when you're 6 and eggs aren't your favorite food. (I only gave 4 stars because the coffee wasn't up to par). Friendly waitstaff made for a nice start to our day.

Great lunch. Traveling with an 8 year old and finding gluten free options that aren't always the same thing can be tricky. JJs was great with taking precautions for his gluten free needs and he loved the chicken tenders. Definitely worth the trip to make an 8 year old happy!

Not being from Maine and going on a vacation that was not planned by me I was a little nervous about eating while away. Hotel did not have options to cook except microwave but I was told there was no fridge or microwave in the room ( apparently we were upgraded last minute) anyway I found this place and was so relieved when the waiters knew what I was dealing with. I got the baked haddock with mashed sweet potatoes and grilled squash and zucchini. Everything was delicious and most importantly I was not sick!!!thinking of eating there again tonight.

great food. they can make GF chicken fingers and they are prepared separately, they are good. the owner also make GF breads (zucchini, pumpkin, chocolate chip) on occasion but not there every day.

we are seasonal campers in OOB and eat her pretty much every weekend

Amazing lunch. We went as a family of four who are all gluten free. The kids had burgers which were great. The wife and I had the broiled haddock sandwich, which was really good and my new favorite. I also had the clam chowder, which was gluten free too! It was fantastic. The staff was great.

Gluten free lobster roll was awesome!

Stopped in for lunch. Had a burger and coleslaw. The burger came on a gluten free bun and we had coleslaw because the fries are cooked in the same fryer and items with gluten in them. Overall a pretty good lunch. They seem pretty knowledgeable of food allergies.

Good food, good service, good prices!

Anytime I go in they are all very welcoming and offer me the gluten free options of the homemade breads
