Review of 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!
