Caddy's On The Beach

Went twice- First time I got the shrimp tacos. The menu said they had gf wraps, but they ended up having gf tortillas (corn tortillas). I subbed the chips for the corn. Second time I got the spinach and artichoke dip and the grilled grouper sandwich on a gf bun.

What a great beach restaurant! I am celiac and had a great experience here. The view from upstairs with a frozen pina colada was worth it. Server Charlie, Manager Kyle and GM Jess made sure I was covered. I had a gluten free wrap with chicken and Kyle made it himself for me. Jess is also gluten free and stopped by our table and told me all the gluten-free options they have and that they are re-doing the menu soon to label the gluten free options again. They had a relaunch and the GF items on the menu were not top priority (like most places). We would have gone back but vacation ended :-( !!!! We’ll be back here again!

From a gluten free standpoint, the staff has very little clue what gluten free means. There are very few options, and cross contamination seems very likely. As a restaurant, service is poor, food is mediocre, and expensive for what is. A hotdog can set you back $15. And although they have wraps that they claim are gluten free, what's the point. The restaurant's main attraction is that it is on the beach. But the staff acts like the TSA looking for contraband if they suspect you brought your own food or drink onto "their" beach. We live nearby, and when our guests ask if they should eat there, we advise against it The health department closed them down as recently as February of this year (2023). The cross contamination is the least of the dangers. Last, but not least, Caddy's parking lot charges eye-watering fees to park. City- owned lots, which charge $3.25/ hr, are actually cheaper.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Went for dinner & they were our of gluten free buns so got it with lettuce. Asked if the frys were breaded & the server said they were not. My burger came out with no cheese so I mentioned it she brought me a slice of cheese that had.black specks all over it as if they took it off someone else's on the grill so didn't eat it. Burger had 0 flavor what so ever and it even had bacon. By the way, frys are completely breaded. Will add pic. Absolutely gross. I'm the only one with an allergy but went with 6 other people who didn't finish their meals because of how bad it was and we all left hungry and stopped at publix for snacks on the way home. Will never go back. Save your money and go somewhere else. Plenty of other places with a nice view while you eat. Not to mention we had the top deck and it got dark they didn't turn on a single light for any tables. Everyone was eating in the dark.

Menu showed GF wraps available but I didn’t trust it so I ended up getting the Sunshine Salad with oil and vinegar instead of the listed dressing. I didn’t get sick and it was an easy option when we were having drinks at the bar.

Absolutely terrible experience. Me and my celiac sister are both physically ill after going here. They took forever with food and gave my sister a normal tortilla even though the waitress insisted it was gluten free. It was not. Not safe AT ALL for celiacs!

We called ahead of time to verify gluten free options, they said basically all of their handheld items were GF with a GF wrap or bun. Arrived less than 5 minutes later, was seated and went to order only to find they have been out of the GF wrap and bun for months. Server never understood, repeatedly asked if she wanted items containing gluten.

It was mediocre. They did have gf wraps, but that’s about it. The wait staff was not knowledgeable on what was and was not gf, but did ask kitchen. There is a very limited amount of gf things on the menu, which is super disappointing.

One of the WORST places I've ever visited. They say they're Celiac and other food allergy friendly, but I wouldn't bank on it! I read the reviews here and followed one reviewer's advice to order the grilled grouper and steamed vegies. Big mistake. They were out of vegies (at lunch??), and my grouper was so over-cooked, it was rock hard. We brought this to the manager's attention, and he agreed it was over-cooked, so he said he'd buy me a drink to make up for it. Really? No offer to replace my meal or take it off my bill? Just flippantly placate a non-drinker with a drink offer? Wow! Skip this place. It may have a great view, but there are many other places right on the beach, and they have much better food!

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was knowledgeable and suggested to stick with the grilled grouper and steamed veggies. All was good!

The staff was willing to cook the meals in a separate pan so they would not be contaminated. The server was very nice and told us that what we ordered was gluten free, however she did not seem 100% confident. I felt like my meal was safe and I had no stomach problems after. There were not that many options but grilled fish or shrimp were some good options.

Their gluten free wrap is PERFECT. When you’re on the beach and want something light but filling, the chicken salad wrap was amazing.

Gluten free wrap was VERY yummy. Didn’t fall apart at all.

Tried to eat there the other day, the waitress was very unaware of what gluten free was. There menu was very limited they offered salads but had no gluten free salad dressings. When we talked with the manager she got very offensive and said she had 90 employees and it was too many to train. The waitress was very nice but in the end she said she felt bad and offered me some bread-and-butter! Would NOT recommend this for gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

Waitress could not help me with Gluten food choice options. She said just order meat if you do not want bread. I informed her it wasn't a want or not want it was an allergy. She just told me not to eat bread. Needless to say we didn't eat there.

We went there for the gluten free lunch options. No complaints with the menu BUT the server seemed very flippant and ignorant about g/f food. My BLT came in a g/f wrap (perfect) but when I asked if the fries were g/f she said 'no' then added 'I don't know - what's the problem?' I stressed three times that she let Chef know this was a g/f order ; she kept telling me in reply that she didn't understand these things. I said to her that she didn't need to understand - just to promise she would relay the information to the kitchen. Let's hope the chef is more up to speed than the server. This experience didn't inspire me with confidence which is a shame as it was a lovely place to hang out with a great ambience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free options marked on the menu. I had the pulled pork bbq platter, baked beans and veggies.

Celiac friendly?

The menu specifies *if* something can be gluten free. My server was not knowledgeable. If you are very sensitive, I would avoid.

Awesome location! Every gluten free item on the menu is clearly marked! Lots of choices! Love it!!! Gluten Free wraps available also!
