The Old Causeway Steak & Oyster House

Was apprehensive when I came here, but my server was also GF and assured me that she eats here a lot and doesn’t get sick. There’s nothing marked on the menu and no separate fryer, but they can make any of their sandwiches GF by putting them on corn tortillas to make tacos! Steaks are also safe. Went during the off season so it wasn’t very busy at all. I got the tri tip sandwich on tortillas. No reaction so far, and as celiacs go I’m pretty sensitive, but I’ll update this review if I do. Overall I’d come here again!

The food is good, but the danger of cross contamination is hit or miss. (First time was fine, second was disastrous.) Servers are really nice and will go check with the kitchen on things, but nothing on the menu is marked. We were told there are two fryers but they do not keep one gluten free. Total bummer because it’s a fun atmosphere.

Love Old Causeway. Been there 3 times this spring and never got sick. Can't eat gluten or dairy or tomato, potato, rice... They were very accommodating

There is no doubt that there are things on the menu that can be ordered for celiacs. Although I am not a Celiac, I go often with my niece who is. The day before we were coming, I did call to ask about gluten free items on the menu and the manager answering the phone and I felt very comfortable with the OC because she assured me the staff are all very knowledgeable about modifications that can be made on over 30 items on the menu. But, when I asked my waiter today do you have any gluten-free beer? He replied we have old Belgium glutiny. I informed him that this is a gluten reduced beer not a gluten free beer. When I ordered the Spanish potatoes with a Manchego sauce, I asked him is a gluten-free, and he said yes. When I was eating it I wondered what made the sauce so thick. I asked another server to ask the chef in the back if flour was used for the cheese sauce and she returned, replying yes. So I stopped eating the Spanish fries. I had a lovely burger with no bun and string french fries that I don't believe are cooked in a gluten-free fryer. My niece ordered her usual, the flat iron steak with mashed potatoes. Always good to just stick with what you know.
