They do not have a GF menu, but the server Jason (AMAZING!) knew about the ingredients without going to ask anyone. The food was amazing. Gluten free fish ands chips---fantastic! Lots of fresh seafood, and a good varied menu. Professional, friendly and courteous service. If you can get a view on the seawall it is worth the trip.

Went to Magics hankering for fish and chips only to find they had discontinued. Ordered something else and had a lovely meal but I don’t even remember because I wanted that fish and chips so bad!

We went here because the menu listed fish and chips as being gluten free and my wheat allergic child wanted to try it. However, when I asked the waitress about the fryer she stated that it is a shared fryer so anything fried here is not gluten free. We were able to come up with a gluten free meal for him and it was good. This has a very nice atmosphere by the Magic Sands beach. Just be aware that items listed may not be gluten free and that it is important to ask before ordering.

My experience here was amazing! I haven’t had fresh Fish&Chips in FOREVER. This place wouldn’t be suitable for someone with celiac, however the staff is knowledgeable of this and let me know they didn’t have a separate fryer which is responsible of them to do. I’m not celiac but pretty sensitive, I had no reaction and got to enjoy a delicious breaded meal. More than half the menu is gluten free and marked as gluten free.

Fish and shrimp are soo good! You just have to get creative to order here. However, no corn tortillas folks. Most things not Marked GF are due to soy. Taste was 5/5 for what I had.

Magic’s is the most GF friendly place near Ali’s drive! Their fryer only has rice flour items put in it!! They make a tasty GF fish and chips along with many GF options.

Beware of items marked on the menu as “gluten free”, as they are not all created equally. There is NOT a dedicated fryer, so the “GF” fish and chips is not actually GF at all. I was so excited to order this here and, alas, at the last minute I ended up with grilled fish and a side salad (which I was up charged $5 for…). A beautiful location and the food I did eat was super delicious, but a let down as it was not what I ordered. Having Celiac is super tough sometimes… especially on vacation in Hawaii. Le sigh.

I just got an acai bowl no granola and an iced coffee from the Beach Shack, but it’s great location, service, and view! Not tons on the regular menu, there is some stuff marked gf but it looks like it’s fried and unsafe.

Incredibly diverse menu and lots of Gluten Free marked options. The chef was very happy to make changes to a salad that I really wanted by subbing out the farro and replacing it with a gluten free option as well. Very accomodating!

I went for drinks and appetizers. The waiter was very nice to help me out but they couldn't really accommodate me. I ended up having just a drink. My cohort had delicious breadfruit fries and wished he could share it with me.
