My (non-GF) family liked this place but there were only a few GF options for me. Staff didn't seem overly knowledgable but the mahi plate lunch was great. Great, casual vibe. Would recommend, despite limited options.

The fish tacos are gluten free and reallyyyy good. I didn’t get sick. They don’t mark gluten free on the menu so you need to talk to staff.

Menu wasn't marked but the server was knowledgeable. I ordered the Kalua pork because it seemed safe. Came with rice and cole slaw. It was pretty good and no issues. My group was a little underwhelmed with their food and it was all pretty expensive.

Panko in the burger meat. I was able to order a bake potato with home made chili and cheddar cheese. Limited GF options but I felt pretty safe with my choice.

Waitress was moderately helpful. Turns out the hamburger is prepared with flour in the meat, so my usual safe go-to was out. I opted for a delicious fish salad--get the passion fruit dressing--I'm happy I did! Not a ton of choices though.

Didn't have a specific menu for gf or things marked gf, but there were salads and such to choose from that are gf safe. Like many restaurants, you are limited to what you can eat. I had a delicious tropical salad with a yummy fruity dressing. Wait staff was very friendly.

Do not even try to come here!!! We asked when we got sat down the same questions I always ask the waitress...if they could accommodate and she basically said NO...I asked if they could prepare carefully and if it could avoid flour....her reply was NO and she also had no shit attitude our food...she actually said our food is prepared in the kitchen, so yeah it is prepared around flour. The people were extremely rude and NOT willing to accommodate. This place should not even of been recommended for GF find me!! We walked out and definitely did not eat here!

Able to prepare fish or bun-less burgers with rice and salad. Good meal, not extravagant price, friendly service. Waitresses know how food was prepared and that the fryer was not gluten safe. Eggs are prepared on the same griddle as pancakes, but burgers and fish are done on a true grill. Not amazing, but safe enough for the few available options, and good for the price.
