I’ve come to Ogunquit for work a couple of times in the past month… I can’t bring myself to go anywhere else because the menu has so many GF options, is fairly priced, and the vibes as a solo diner at the bar are great, even in the off season . Definitely a local’s come as you are place - the bartenders know everyone - but not unfriendly to travelers. Tonight marks my third time in a row getting the chicken parm sandwich with a GF bun. It’s just so good and my tummy isn’t upset by it so I keep getting it!
Tonight, I came a little earlier in time for happy hour and got $5 fried pickle spears to start… delicious! Nothing that goes into their fryers has gluten.
I will miss this place when my work in Ogunquit is finished. It’s winter now - the fire is still going out front and looks cozy but too cold for me to brave… would love to come back in the warmer months. Highly recommend.
Tip: if struggling to view the menu on their website, google the Beachfire Ogunquit menu - it’s an easy click and shows you what is marked as GF
Love this place. Biddeford's great Lucky Pigeon GF beer available and a vast GF menu. I had a chicken parm sandwich and fries which is a very rare treat for me. No issues whatsoever after. Tons of GF choices on the menu. Fun atmosphere, too!
Our server was wonderful! Almost everything on the menu is gluten free! We ordered the chili fries , french onion soup and a wonderful salad! Everything was delicious!

This place was awesome! They have everything labeled as to whether or not you can get it gluten free. The majority of the menu can be made gf! The staff was very knowledgeable and understanding and I did not get sick afterward!
Clearly marked gluten-free. Dedicated fries, waitstaff knowledgeable. Kristen was our waitress,nice and helpful. We had the chili cheese fries to start,just to be perfectly clear EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS, we shared the main course burban steak tips and lazy man lobster in butter, corn on the cob and the best strawberry candied pecan salad. There was dessert so...we shared a piece of white chocolate strawberry cake. I am very full and extremely happy 😊
Gluten free burger was undercooked, tasted subpar but the honey buffalo and ranch fries were quite tasty
Great wings. Great atmosphere. Very celiac friendly. Highly suggest.
Knowledgeable about allergies. Have dined here 3 times with no issues. Be prepared to bring your appetite. Huge portions of food. Very good. Would highly recommend. Most items can be changed to become GF.
Big menu and just about everything can be made GF.
This was our favorite spot during our trip. Many choices and almost everything except a few clearly listed items are/can be made GF.
One of my favorite places! Most everything can be made gf . All time favorite wings! They have great chicken sandwich which is one thing I do miss since being gf. Every time we visit wells we go to beach fire atleast once !
Can’t recommended this place highly enough! First of all, our waitress was a delight! Almost everything on the menu can be made GF (the pretzel bites, cornbread and caesar salad I think are the only things that cannot be made GF). We got the jerk shrimp appetizer (it was amazing), then my mom and I got the GF lobster roll and my sister got the GF pulled pork sandwich (my dad got the nonGF lobster roll) and we all split GF cheesy fries. It was all absolutely delicious, the cocktails were also amazing. We did outdoor dining and it is a lovely set up. Will definitely be going back!
Update (2024): have now been here multiple times. Have never gotten sick. There are so many delish GF options and they always seen to have the most reasonable lobster roll prices. Have gotten the wings, chicken tenders, chicken parm, gf chicken ranch sandwich and nachos- all are delicious and have never gotten sick.
I was very excited to have dinner here and didn't realize they had a Wednesday Wings special, so it was very busy and we had an hour wait. Their outdoor patio has a nice fire pit and you can take your drinks out there. Parking is tough, but the staff were all super friendly. I ordered wings and fries and unfortunately my gluten detection service dog did alert to both of my plates and to my husband's wing plate as well. He is a gluten eater so we got it to go (he took it to work) and he said they were amazing. Based on their precautions, I'm guessing it was low levels of gluten, but I had to trust my dog and abstain (she detects lower amounts than can be tested for otherwise). I'm hoping it goes better on a future trip, but I don't live there.
First time at Beachfire and I now see why it is so hard to get a parking spot!!! Kid friendly and gluten free on almost everything they make. Very accommodating and marked which dishes in our order gluten free!!
Almost an entire menu available as GF. Mac and cheese is fantastic. The smoked wings and sauces are great. The whole experience is incredible. If your GF and want to share a meal with family this is a can't miss. Love it here

Is there a gluten-free menu?
- — Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu
Almost everything was available gluten-free, and the waitstaff was very comfortable being asked to double check. All their fried food was gluten-free so there were no worries about fryer cross-contamination.
Had the fried haddock with fries and substituted a beautiful green salad for a side. Staff very knowledgeable and all fried foods are gluten free. We even took home the gluten free chocolate cake to share later. Everything was looked and tasted delicious. No unpleasant symptoms.
I go here often and I've ordered many things from appetizers to meals. They do amazing work with gluten-free. I am celiac and never have a problem with cross contamination. I love their wings! Can't say enough about this place! ❤
Great GF options. All things fried are GF. Wings are great
95% of the menu is or can be made GF. Casual bar/ restaurant with friendly wait staff. Has a kids menu. Menus include lots of bbq options as well as items such as steak tips, chicken parmigiana, nachos, wings, etc.
Gluten free fish fry! I haven’t had one in so long! Gluten free lobster Mac and cheese was amazing. So many options. Great cocktails. Kids menu. So happy to find this place.
The best wings!! Really fun menu for my husband who has celiacs. Easily safe to eat here with a gluten allergy.
What a wonderful find this place was! So many gluten free items and a dedicated frier. Food was so good we had to double check that it was actually gluten free! Delicious! Will definitely be back again.
Lots of “gluten free” options. We ordered the chicken finger app and Maine Lobster roll with fries. They don’t prepare the lobster roll warm but will barely warm it if you request it. Friendly staff. However, once I left my mouth was burning, throat felt tight, and sick to my stomach. TBD if more complications will occur from their preparation. Please be warned that this may be your experience. Also we arrived as soon as they opened to try to minimize the risk of them being too overwhelmed to accommodate.
Tons of GF options! My celiac son was thrilled! What a great experience to have knowledgeable employees and a safe place to eat.
Everything is gluten free there. Paradise. And the ribs are awesome.
Dedicated GF
Great food - very gluten free friendly! The wing sauces are delicious!! Highly recommend!
Updated July 2023 as I returned for another visit. This time around I had a brisket platter with GF french fries and cole slaw. Delicious! Really impressed with this place as I've never had a reaction there and their GF options are very extensive. It's basically got a sports bar vibe and definitely not health food, but a great place to visit if you're craving fried foods, burgers, barbecue, etc.

Best place to eat! Been going here for 3 years now and never ever once been sick! I eat here 4-5 times a month and always go home full!!!
This is my favorite restaurant! Almost everything is gluten free. They have separate fryer and all batter is gluten free. The chicken parmesan is amazing! Great atmosphere and incredibly gluten friendly and safe.
Sensitive celiac here. Literally almost everything on their menu is naturally gf. We had wings, ribs, cheese fries (OMG THEIR CHEESE SAUCE), sweet potato fries, coleslaw and then couldn’t eat anymore. We will definitely be coming back. Dedicated fryer. GF Beer. They have it all.
Excellent GF selection. Knowledgeable staff. Great experience. Arrive early to find parking - limited parking.
They have a lot of gluten free options and pretty much the whole menu can be made gluten free. Amazing food!
Nearly entire menu can be made gluten free! Separate fryer! We tried the burgers, pulled pork, fried haddock, wings, and chocolate cake! Very knowledgeable waitress. Great place.
Lots of gf options and they were very careful to note that I had an allergy in order to be extra careful. Delicious food!
They can make almost everything on the menu gluten free!
always great with helping me find what is gluten free, it is really nice to know that the kitchen is extremely clean and set aside from guten.
The food was amazing! My husband and I did four appetizers to share and it was delicious. Everything that is GF (which was almost everything) is clearly labeled on the menu. I told the waitress I was GF for health reasons and she was very knowledgeable and even went as far as not bringing out one of the sauces because it was not GF.
Amazing amazing amazing! Arrived to be told 99% of the menu could be gluten free! And they weren’t kidding! Amazing selection! It took me ages to decide what to have and I felt like the rest of the gluten eating ‘normal’ party 🤣 lots of dishes that would never normally be offered gluten free in a restaurant, fried pickles, fried chicken, cheese fries, lobster Mac and cheese, the list goes on! Must try if coeliac! Very impressed 😍
Place is awesome! Almost everything is or can be made gf! Had smoked wings which were awesome and lobster roll on gf bun which stayed together ! Staff was very nice and helpful! Highly recommend this restaurant!
I had an epic dinner of foods that are usually off limits such as fried pickles, chicken wings, a lobster roll (gf bun) and French fries. The food was tasty and our server was very knowledgable about the menu. I highly recommend if you are in the area.
Fantastic! Practically everything is or can be GF and everything that goes in the frier is made with cornmeal. First time in a while my daughter had legit fried food and it was delicious. And the cheese fries were AMAZING. Knowledgeable about celiac and portions are ginormous. Would go back for sure!
Excellent food and Celiac safe. We will definitely be back!!
It’s so great to find a restaurant that is not only Celiac friendly, but Celiac KID FRIENDLY! The menu is clearly marked and 90% GF. They have a dedicated fryer as well. My daughter was happy with a giant bowl of pasta with cheese. (They also had GF chicken tenders and fries but she really wanted pasta!)
Food and service was fantastic. It was so nice to have so many gluten free options.
Such a great place for coeliacs! Huge choice on the menu! I had a lobster roll with cheese fries! Staff where so nice. I had no reaction and im extremely sensitive. Would definitely go back when we are in America again.
Had a great meal here tonight! So glad I tried it again, as my experience last year wasn’t so good. I didn’t get sick, but the bartender wasn’t knowledgeable and made me pretty nervous about eating what I’d ordered. THIS TIME, we sat at a table and had a great waitress. She was very familiar with Celiac disease and excited for me that I could eat most items on their menu. OMG! I had ribs with fries and they were AWESOME! Great sauces, seasonings and generous portions. Would definitely recommend going here to anyone! My boyfriend also really enjoyed his meal. Update: It’s a year later and we went right back to Beachfire AND had another AWESOME meal. TBH, we walked there just to be able to eat more, lol!! Jenn was our waitress tonight and she was super kind an accommodating. AND, when I told her I had celiac, she actually said “you’ve come to the right place.” FYI, I also don’t drink alcohol and can’t have dairy. You’d never know that I had any eating limitations if you saw my dinner plate- I even treated myself to a virgin strawberry daiquiri!
This was AMAZING, everything on their menu was listed as “can be made gulten free” except the pretzels, cornbread and ceaser salad (bc of the croutons) I had the pulled pork sandwich with a gf bun and the bread was definitely homemade (i think) and i also had some wings also amazing. All their sauces for wings are gf and so are all their fries (which were also amazing) 10/10 recommend this place
