Had the GF lobster dip and GF seafood pizza. Items marked GF on menu. Waiter didn’t seem to understand need to be GF, but after explaining understood what was required. Both dishes were great and had no issues.

Not confident about gluten free. Items did not come out distinguished as gluten free. The food in general was not very good.

They only have a “gluten free” fryer depending on when you go. Our server said it starts gluten free and then sometimes toward the end of the night they need to use it for other items, so be sure to ask and/or avoid if you want to be 100% safe. We went shortly after they opened for lunch and I had the Lobster Club with gluten free bread and fries. It was delicious and I had no reaction!

I am just ordering my food now but need to inform people checking this that their dedicated fryer might not actually be dedicated. My waiter told me eventually at the end of the night they share fryer with other items … something to do with fryers cooling off but then they need to use them again. I opted to skip the fries as he said by this time of night it’s not dedicated. Just be aware and ask you server before eating.

GF Pizza was not the best I have ever had but not the worst. Crust could have been cooked more and was doughy/soggy in the middle.

I went during the coronavirus pandemic, so it’s possible their offerings were different than usual. I had a delicious burger on gf bread, but there was no separate gf menu, no gf pizza or pasta to be seen. Since I am not celiac, I didn’t ask about the fryer. The food is very good, but overall not a great choice for celiac folks.

We had a great lunch here the other day. The food was of much higher quality than I remembered (was last here maybe 3 or 4 years ago) - and while I couldn’t have the tortilla part of my tortilla salad, they substituted tortilla chips instead. My non-celiac kids loved their lunches too - including my 16yo who can be a food snob.

We ate here twice, as the food was good and my Celiac son did not get sick. He had pizza, fries, and a sandwich on GF bread. Staff confirmed they have a separate GF fryer. Service was fast and friendly, and the non-GF food was also good.

A nice diner with GF items marked on the menu, GF bread for the sandwiches and burgers, GF pizza dough (clarify how it is baked; we did not order pizza so do not know), and GF fryer for the fries.
