They have gf hamburger buns and cauliflower pizza crust. The pizza wasn’t amazing, but not terrible. Celiacs tends to settle for what they are able to eat, and I would say the meal was filling, but not fulfilling.

November 2018: They’ve a good size GF menu which includes apps, salads, mains, burgers and pizzas. They also have Strongbow cider ON TAP which was a huge selling point for me! (They’ve done GF beers, as well.) I went for a classic shepherd’s pie, which came with a pitcher of thick, dark brown gravy made with the GF beer. It made me nervous, but... It was fabulous and I did not get sick! (I am extremely reactive to even cross-contamination.) Couldn’t be happier to have found this place right in downtown Portsmouth.

Fairly extensive Gf menu. Daughter (Celiac) loved their gf margarita pizza. Manager was very attentive. Does not have a dedicated fryer though so no French fries:(

Plenty of choices and GF pizza (though not sure that they make their own or buy a crust). Kids love it and there are good meal options for the adults.

they had decent gf options that were celiac friendly but were wildly unaware of items they had listed as gf that were not. i.e. teriyaki wings. contains wheat flour. just make sure you thoroughly ask about the item yiu want to try. very friendly staff and accomodating.

This is usually one of my go to restaurants for GF in Portsmouth! Never had any trouble there until I went a few weeks ago (It's my own fault as it was late night). The waitress said they could make the quesadilla GF. Which I don't think it was as I was violently ill the next day! Just be careful if you go in there late at night!

Extensive Gluten-free menu, including pizza, wings, salads, appetizers and entrees. They even have Green's Amber Ale by the bottle (the best gf beer!) Decent bar food.

Wanted the gf shepherd's pie, but they were out..someone contaminated batch with wheat flour. Got burger instead. Asked for avocado with it and it was no problem. Disappointed about no fries, though. Burger tasted char grilled, very tasty

Gluten-free menu, waitstaff seemed knowledgeable. No dedicated frier, but they do offer gluten-free buns for their burgers. Great atmosphere!

Have some GF options and ordered burger. Bun seemed GF but burger was way over cooked and had reaction to food. Used to love BBC and went several times in past with no issues but now a bit more hesitant to go back.

Possibilità di ordinare panini senza glutine molto buoni. Il personale ci ha avvisato sul fatto che alcuni ingredienti avrebbero avuto contaminazione, tipo le patatine ed il bacon, e quindi avremmo potuto evitarli.

Restaurant has very limited menu with almost no gluten free options at the moment. Server explained new management has pared menu way back and they are also limited because of a broken oven. Do not recommend BBC in Hyannis at this time.

GF options. I had Greek Salad with grilled shrimp. Delicious and I didn’t get sick. Waitress was knowledgeable about celiac. My non-celiac family members had fish tacos and the house burger and said it was good.
