Big Wave Cafe

Was assured multiple times that the scallops were gluten free even after they came out breaded. Server didn’t understand why that was an issue. Guessing the safety and knowledge is dependent on the server & chef. Trust your gut! Personally won’t be going back.

This is a solid place to go for the grilled halibut (rotating fish) entree comes with salad, and choice of baked potato or rice. They have a daily special and the day we went they had fish tacos that were gf. There aren’t many options on the menu since the majority of fish dishes are breaded but most things that are gf are marked on the menu except for the grilled fish entree which the server said was indeed gf even though it wasn’t marked as such. They even have gf buns for burgers. I had no reactions after eating here. Hot tip- there aren’t any gf dessert options but they were happy to make me a root beer float with vanilla tillamook ice cream.

My son and I both have severe gluten intolerances and neither of us had a reaction. They had gf buns so could make every sandwich gf and he had a hug hamburger that looked amazing! I had the fish tacos which were ok. The staff was very knowledgeable.

Talk to Brian, the chef. His sister is celiac, and he knows his stuff. Expect only naturally gluten free foods--no gfree bread or anything here. Just simple, high quality, safe food.
