Review of Salty Mermaid Bar & Grille

My son was diagnosed celiac last winter, so we’ve been trying to find places down the shore for him this summer. The Salty Mermaid was great - he had a GF flatbread pizza app and GF chicken fingers (which he said were fine but not great - he’s also recently decided he’s not a fan of chicken fingers anymore, so take his review with a grain of salt). The fries are made in a dedicated fryer. There are many options on the menu that can be made GF, and the server was very helpful. There’s even a GF beer there (not that applied to my 13-year-old son!). The rest of the food was also delicious and the service was great. Nice atmosphere, we waited less than the 30 minutes they said, but I recommend getting there before 7, because when we were leaving around 7:45, the lines were pretty long and the waiting areas were full.
