Did not care for this place at all. They nickel and dime everything (do not offer tap water for example) and the gf menu was small. No dedicated fryer, tough to talk to waitress, tip automatically added and then taxed on top of that. Would not return.

Gluten free bagel with cream cheese =$9.44. When asked why so much was told "because it's gluten free". It was a pack of Udi's plain gf bagels. GF options yes, but they don't have to hose you for it.

One of the best GF spots on the Wildwood boardwalk. I have spoken to the owners at length; they have expanded their GF menu this year and have a dedicated GF grill. Love the Buffalo chicken cheesesteak wrap. They are planning to install a dedicated fryer with employee training for GF funnel cakes, mozzarella sticks, and fries! They take GF very seriously and are experimenting with a number of GF flour and ingredient combos to come up with the best recipes. Please support them!

Saw the gluten free menu from the boardwalk. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Came for lunch. I told the waitress I had celiac and asked how they prepared in the kitchen. She told me that it is in a separate area and a separate grill. They change gloves as well. Got the grilled chicken with broccoli and corn. Very good!!

Food was great and staff was very knowledgeable. They immediately asked if I was celiac, and they have an entirely separate section of the kitchen where they prepare the gluten-free food. Would definitely go here again!

Service was absolutely superb. Food was delicious too. VERY attentive staff and polite beyond my expectations for any place on the boardwalk. Dedicated GF menus for breakfast as well as lunch/dinner. They also made GF accommodations on regular menu items ( I gotba chili cheeseburger with no bun).

100% would recommend this place! I got a hotdog and came back the next morning for an omelette breakfast. After I ordered GF, they immediately asked if it was for celiac. I saw them clean off the griddle and had no reaction either day. Super friendly staff as well.

Ordered the GF cauliflower pizza…server was knowledgeable but also checked with kitchen staff in back. Pizza is cooked on foil or separate pan and different utensils used to cut it. Celiac and all good after eating, no symptoms. Went there for lunch the next day and ordered bacon cheeseburger on GF bun. Was good and no stomach issues. Good option on boardwalk for gluten free dining.

They have a very nice selection of gluten-free food. My daughter had the gluten-free pizza and she loved it and she is super piggy. They were super accommodating and were so excited to hear that she liked it because the menu is pretty new and they were looking for feedback. They have breakfast lunch and dinner options. I took a picture.

Their sign has “gluten free” on it. Their menus have a gluten free section. We talked to the owner, Haroula who personally became our server. Her mom was recently diagnosed with celiac so they added some GF options. They have a cauliflower pizza baked on a separate screen in a separate oven. We had GF penne pasta prepared with a freshly washed pot in their kitchen downstairs.

Staff knew they had a gf pizza. It was the grossest gf pizza I’ve ever had. Tasted like cardboard. Brought my friends food our way before my pizza. His chicken fingers were cold. Disappointed.

They have a small gluten free menu, 5 items to choose from. We came in because we saw a sign out front advertising gluten free. I asked about the salad and which dressings were gluten free, and no one in the entire place knew. All the waitstaff started reading the labels (we were the only one's in the restaurant) and found the honey mustard and balsamic were gluten free. So I give 3 stars because there was no knowledge on GF even though they advertise they have it. The waitress seemed really embarrassed and was apologetic.

Celiac friendly?

No
