Only thing that is safe to enjoy here to my findings are raw oysters and bar drinks.

The menu states to ask for the Gluten “Friendly” Menu, but two of the servers we asked said this was not available. Our server had no knowledge of any options for gluten-free and was not able to answer questions about the preparation. While we probably shouldn’t have, we were able to order off of the menu we found on-line. The food was delicious, but not gluten-free as my son later had a severe reaction.

Grilled fish or blackened, new potatoes, shrimp slaw, corn cob are gluten-free and amazing! Just have to tell the server no hush puppy and no corn fritter. Tried the steamed peel and eat shrimp too. Yum! Have eaten there many times. Am 11 yrs GF with Celiac and very sensitive to cross contamination.

We were looking for a GF seafood restaurant while in Destin. Came across the Shrimp Basket. No GF menu but the staff are familiar with what menu items are GF and very helpful. We had the grilled fish and the steamed shrimp. Several GF side items available. Food was good. We’ve eaten here several times and so far no issues.

Nearly everything is battered and fried. The grilled fish is only available on flour tortillas and the cream sauce on the blackened fish is made with flour, but at least the staff was knowledgeable! The ONLY safe option was the Steamed Shrimp Platter with 1/2 lb of peel n’ eat steamed shrimp (served with cocktail sauce and/or Tartar sauce), new potatoes (flavorless but buttered), a small corn end piece, and slaw. Overall a decent meal. My dinner partner loved his fried plate of food.

They do not have a specifically dedicated gluten free menu, but the manager was such a great resource! She knew the difference between sensitivity and allergen, which foods could be cross contaminated, and which foods were considered safe. I had the grilled shrimp, minus puppies and corn fritter, with steamed broccoli. It was a great dinner!
