Pinchers

🤢 Maybe for beer, margaritas and fries. Worst $80 spent for a meal for 2 adults a one child. No alcohol. Waitress and hostess were great but food made me sick. Celiac and I ordered the crab bite claws sautéed. My plate was also sent out with bread. Husband’s food was not good either. Ate there last night and still feel I’ll. We’re a little scared. I will say my daughter was happy with her chicken strips and fries.

Gluten Free menu. Knowledgeable staff. They really know how to prepare fresh seafood that is safe for a Celiac. Everything is fresh, well seasoned, cooked to perfection, and served promptly while hot. Their GF vegetables are fresh and tasty as well. My favorite entree is the Peel & Eat Shrimp served hot with melted butter dip (I’ve had it twice at this location in the past month). All day two for one well drinks. This is a family owned chain and they provide a safe and enjoyable dining experience at all their locations. I’ve dined multiple times at different locations and always had a positive experience.

They have a separate gf menu with a good number of options. I had the grilled shrimp (amazing seasonings - sooo good & flavorful!), Cole slaw and garlic smashed potatoes. Absolutely delicious!! I will go back and order the exact same thing again! Very friendly staff. Nothing super fancy, but good fresh food. I wish there was one in my state, but I’ll settle for this as a favorite place to visit on vacation.

Great food and service. Fun atmosphere. Staff was knowledgeable about GF issues.

Very good food, especially the Grouper, grilled, broiled or blackened.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There is a gluten free menu with quite a few options. I had the scallop plate with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was delicious! Broccoli was just steamed so I asked for butter which came out as the herbed garlic butter and it was great. They note on the receipt for the kitchen that you are ordering off the GF menu too. There are no gluten free desserts.

I went for dinner and had the salmon broiled with a salad and nothing else. About an hour after I had symptoms of cross contamination and was unwell the following day.

I cannot recommend this for celiacs or folks with gluten allergies. I have celiac disease and I am allergic to gluten. Despite the assurances from the staff, gluten free menu, etc a few bites into my dish I knew that it wasn’t safe. And sure enough within a few minutes I presented with my classic early gluten exposure reaction of intense nausea and vomiting in the bathroom of the restaurant. Major bummer especially on a family vacation… we had boated there as a family, but I was so miserably ill from the gluten exposure I had to Uber back to our accommodation while my family continued on the boat ride.

Unfortunately, this was a major setback for the remaining days of our vacation as my body spiraled into a full blown celiac flare. The staff were very apologetic, they stated everything was “done right” to prevent this from happening— unfortunately my body’s reaction clearly indicated otherwise.

Based on other FMGF reviews I had high hopes for this restaurant, but celiac be warned. It’s not worth ruining the rest of your vacation to gamble on it.

This place is soooo good! Our waitress was very knowledgeable about their gluten free menu and they had a decent amount of gf options. I ordered the happy hour shrimp special and the blackened mahi mahi with the mashed potatoes and green beans. Delicious! The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce are both gluten free also!
