Nick's Boathouse

They had 0 experience with celiac or gluten free. They told me all the sides were gluten free so I asked if they had a dedicated fryer for them and she said well, it is a dedicated fryer but it uses the same grease because it flows between the two. So I opted for the rice and the side salad. She brought out the salad with croutons and I asked if she’d relayed to the kitchen that I had an allergy and she said “yes and I wanted to tell you that the fries are actually gluten free”. I asked the cook and he said the oil gets so hot the gluten is burned out. I told her that wasn’t true. Gluten couldn’t be burned out. I wasn’t planning on getting the fries but I didn’t want her to make others sick with this misinformation. Then I asked her if she would please bring me a new salad without croutons and she told me that would be a quick fix. 5 min later she brought out the same salad that they had picked the croutons off of because there were clearly crumbs still on it. I didn’t eat anything tonight and left with all of my food in a box. I was so disappointed. Don’t trust them! I am certain I would’ve been extremely sick if I’d have eaten their food!

How much of the menu is available gluten-free?

— Not Much

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Poor

Items marked on the menu but server was not knowledgeable. I went with the safest options I felt for myself and didn't get sick. Food was just okay given the price.

Service was lacking, knowledge was lacking, cleanliness was lacking & choices were lacking (see a theme?).

Celiac friendly?

No

All GF choices marked on menu. Waitress knowledgeable. Also she was dairy free. Had grilled grouper and FF. sat outside. Lovely view.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am highly allergic to gluten. Nick's menu was marked with which items are gluten free. The blackened shrimp was fantastic. The tuna dip appetizer, sweet potato fries and rice pilaf sides were not so great.

Great service and food. The chef even grilled a child sized piece of salmon for my son!

Great selection and beautiful location. Next to the Maritime Park and Blue Wahoos ballpark.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
