The Birds Cafe

The clam chowder is GF. Honestly one of the better chowders I’ve had. Very meaty which is rare in some clam chowders.

Chowder is pre-made and in its own container so no issue of cross contamination. I have celiac and have eaten here probably a dozen times and have had no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The only gluten-free items on the menu are the clam chowder, the salad and some of the oysters. Most of the menu is fried. The server seemed knowledgeable and explained that they could fry fish without the breading in the same fryer for less sensitive folks. The chowder was good, sweet with plenty of clams. The salad had almonds which made it slightly more filling than just a pile of greens. I have celiac and didn’t get sick.
