Most foods were gluten free. All sauces are not gluten free. Nothing is fried so no worry about that. Waitress was very knowledgeable and the food was delicious. Although a bird did steal some of our shrimp 🤣

Waitress was very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease/Gluten Free. She said all Boiled Seafood was safe for me. I ordered the 1/2 pound boiled shrimp and it came with potatoes and corn(I only ate the shrimp). I did not get sick.

I had the snow crab boil, it was meh. Pretty sure they did good for it being gluten free, but everything was so bland... not impressed. It's like they hinge everything on their seafood, and give no effort to the other food. I won't come here again.

Waitress was knowledgeable about the gluten free to advise that the seasoning could have cross contamination as well as the cocktail sauce. I had plain steamed shrimp with soy butter. The ambiance was neat.

We had a good meal here. Our waitress, Tabitha, was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free. They cooked my food in separate water (shrimp, corn, potatoes) as to not cross contaminate with the sausage. It was good and no symptoms.

Do not eat here if you have Celiac Disease. Wait staff seemed annoyed when I asked questions, then brought me out chicken with Texas Toast.

There are only a few options that are GF. While the staff may be friendly there are better choices nearby for people needing to keep to a GF diet.

The waitress was knowledgable of their menu items that were GF. I also have a soy and peanut allergy. I had the roasted chicken and they steamed me a piece of corn on the cob separate to be sure it wasn't contaminated. No issues!

First off, there is no fryer at all, so the labels are wrong. They didn't know much about what they were doing, and my plate came out with toast on it. I would stay away from the boils too as the sausage is not gluten free and I doubt they change the water fresh each time.

One of my favorite places on Tybee Island. I usually order steamed oysters and crab legs. I've also had the low country boil with no problem. Great food, great service.
