Lighthouse Seafood Market & Cafe

Impressed and disappointed all at the same time. I wanted to share my experience for others so you know what you have to work around. Based on another review I have been wanting to try here purely for GF fish and chips.

Finally I happened to be in the area and needing to find a spot for dinner. So we walked in, the place was very busy, I asked the hostess if they had a GF menu just as a double check. She said we can do a few things GF. Right away I’m wondering if the one review was for the correct place. But we put our name on the list and wait.

When we are seated I say to the waitress that I am wondering about GF since I read a review that seams to conflict with what the hostess says.

I am told that at the start of the week they have GF fried food but once they get busy they have to use both fryers for the regular batter and she would not eat fried foods on the weekends.

I loved her honestly and understanding but obviously was disappointed not to get to try the fish and chips.

The food I did get was good, standard nothing over the top amazing. And unfortunately nothing that I can’t get in many other seafood restaurants. Service was nice and friendly. Nothing bad just not as simple as they offer GF fried food, just a little something to keep in mind.

This place is a little secret! It is a seafood market with restaurant and table service. Staff is very friendly and very accommodating! We’ve had calamari and fish and chips for the first time in years due to their GF breading. Fresh fish is great too! Can even eat the corn hush puppies!! Highly recommend!
