Summer Shack

The seafood specials are always outstanding I'm giving 4 stars because the kitchen isn't 100% celiac friendly yet but they're working on it. The last 3 times I've been here I have not been glutened. Keep up the good work guys

Ordered GF halibut but it tested positive for gluten. 😭

Sushi was not gluten free according to Nima tester despite staff seeming knowledgeable. I would not recommend to celiacs.

Jasper White's Summer Shack is outstanding in general, and they do a great job for my celiac daughter. While there's no specific gluten free menu they are able to accommodate our needs and we've never had problems.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I would say anything basic like grilled fish with rice or any raw bar options is a good choice if you have celiac.

I did have one horrible experience when I ended up being served fried food when asking for the fried scallop plate to be grilled. I had to send it back explaining that I couldn’t eat gluten, and then they brought the food back with grilled scallops on top of French fries. I explained again I could not eat gluten or food that has come in contact with gluten. They seemed to understand and brought the grilled scallops with roasted potatoes, but after eating it all I found a French fry underneath the lettuce. So I assume they just brushed off the fried bits and served it on the same plate. The waitress took one round of drinks off of the bill, but we still had to pay for the cross contaminated entree that we had to send back twice.

Celiac friendly?

No

The two last times we have been there the service was excellent. I am also allergic to white vinegar and the waitress went back several times to check for me. Even came and asked us if we could eat the blue cheese because it was grown on bread! Her mother was a celiac but the waitress we had before was just as dedicated.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server will check with the chef to see if menu items have gluten in them, but seems they have issues with cross contamination. Too bad, they could do better!

GF was not indicated on the menu but our server was extremely knowledgeable. He gave recommendations, marked order as Celiac and gave adaptions necessary for safety. Excellent meal and I had no issues.

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Excellent

There was no gluten free menu, but the server spoke to the chef and they made my surf and turf in a separate pan and subbed veggies for the fries (no dedicated fryer). It was delicious! And I’m super sensitive and didn’t get sick. Winning!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No separate GF menu but server willing to communicate to kitchen staff about modifying dishes. I had the shrimp and scallop dinner with a bowl of the clam chowder. All delicious and didn’t get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten seafood east to west coast, up and down both the east and west coast, and this is the best sea food I have had in my life. I am one to never do any reviews, but it would be a crime to to tell people about this place. Althought the have no gluten free menu as the menu itself changes daily, the servers are extremely knowledgeable, going into very specific detail of how they cook your food to avoid any worry of cross contamination. They triple checked food items and knew all questions from memory. Also, their clam chowder is the best!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Separate gluten free menu. Fantastic staff & food! Best clam chowder I've ever had.
