Shanks Waterfront Dining

I had the lobster BLT with coleslaw and it was delicious. It is pricey and they don’t have a dedicated frier for the fries. But I think it’s worth it.

They don’t have a dedicated fryer, so I’m really not sure what the point is as your food is going to come out with Gluten on it. For those who are actually sensitive to Gluten, this is not a good option. They would be smart to have a separate fryer just dedicated to gluten-free. Very disappointing.

Had fried clams for the first time in about 15 years! They were very knowledgeable and made sure I knew it wasn’t a dedicated frier. When my husband ordered they verified if he wanted GF too or not. Food was great, view was beautiful. I will be back.

I do not have celiac.

Great food! Beautiful view. They do not have a designated GF fryer but staff is knowledgeable and we’re willing to accommodate requests. I am gluten sensitive, not celiacs. I had the fried seafood platter and had no issues. When I said GF, they asked about my allergy. Offered to grill any option

Yes, the menu is marked with GF options. Yes, the view of the marina is beautiful. But the food is less than desirable. For the price I was greatly disappointed. Everything was lukewarm or cold. Sweet potato fries were mushy. Lobster nachos had a good amount of lobster but looked like something I threw together at home- not restaurant quality. Very sweet waitstaff and good customer service. But we spent over $65 on dinner and left hungry and disappointed.

They don't have a dedicated fryer but they do warn you about that. The lobster grilled cheese was soooo cheesy and the roll delicious. The sweet potatoe fries with maple BBQ sauce was a hit. They also offer a delicious GF clam chowder and BYOB. Very friendly and helpful, luxurious outdoor bathroom and nice outdoor seating. Bit pricey but definitely worth it.

I have eaten here twice and it has been a great experience. Although the fryer is not safe for celiacs because of cross contamination, there are still other options available. The staff is knowledgeable and the food is really delicious. BYOB is great as is the view. Both times we visited there was live music.

Placed a takeout order - Super helpful over the phone to what was gluten free and not. Does not have gluten free dedicated fryer, so the fried foods that can be gluten free will be fried with everything else. Was able to get a lobster roll on gluten free bun. Absolutely delicious!!!! Totally recommend, although the only celiac-safe gluten free side is either a salad or coleslaw (still very yummy!)
