My experience @ Captain George’s was great. Alerted server to needing gluten free - she then connected me to the chef who walked me through the entire buffet, showing me what I could eat & what they would make special for me. Had crab legs, steamed shrimp, steamed clams and specially prepared salmon. And a delicious warm brownie. Would highly recommend if you love seafood!

When I mentioned to my server that I had celiac she went and got one of the cooks who asked if I would like a meal prepared separately in the back so I knew nothing had touched it. He was very accommodating and let me chose what ever I would like.

I came in knowing I would have to ask for a menu, however the waiter didn't seem to care whether or not I was gluten intolerant. I did order the chicken meal with rice pilaf and fresh fruit, but for the $$$ we spent it could have been much better. Hubby got the buffet and ate almost nothing. Almost everything on the buffet was fried, so if you are trying to eat a healthier lifestyle, this is not the place to go. The atmosphere was terrible.

I told the server that I was gluten free. The server had a cook walk me down the buffet explaining what was gluten free. The cook said he would fix some baked flounder if i didn't like the parmesan crusted flounder. Food was excellent.

Excellent customer service and so accommodating. Staff will have the chef come and walk you down the buffet explaining what you can and can not have. They will even prepare you something from the kitchen if you don't want the buffet. We will be returning again!

Some advice: don't trust the buffet, ask for a menu - it will be SO much fresher, cooked by the chef specifically for someone with an intolerance, and not overpriced. Server was fairly knowledgeable and quickly offered to ask the chef of anything he wasn't sure of. He brought me a copy of the menu with the gluten free items marked on it. I had a really delicious broiled mahi with a mango sauce on the side, and a baked potato and steamed zucchini. My meal did come with a salad from the salad bar, and unfortunately only one dressing (Italian) was gluten free.

Great food for a buffet. No gluten free menu though server did offer to have chef walk the line with us. Great as long as you stick to veggies and steamed seafood options. No gf desserts.

The manager came out and told me if I didn’t feel comfortable with the food at the buffet due to cross contamination, they would make a separate meal for me in the kitchen. They were so understanding and happy to do it. They fixed me steak, peel and eat shrimp and steamed broccoli. I also was able to eat crab legs from the buffet. For dessert, they brought out two warm Udis snickerdoodle cookies. I was so pleased with our experience there and had no reactions at all. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to someone with celiac.

It’s a buffet but they have a separate app to scan to see what is gluten free on the buffet for the gf person! Also, they will prepare something for you without the sauce or seasoning in the back on separate pan. And they check on you throughout the meal. It’s the first all you can eat that does that! Amazing experience and worth the money!

When I arrived at the restaurant I told our waiter that I have celiacs and he had the manager come to our table. When the manager arrived he had a card with a QR code for me to scan. It brought me to a list of food allergies, I choose gluten and wheat of course. There was a large list of food allergies or even just preferences. After I submitted my response it brought me to a list of all of the food on the buffet that I could eat. He also informed me that the chicken,steak, and salmon were not gluten free because of the seasoning, but they could cook them in the back for me at no additional charge. He also offered to do the same thing with other items I didn’t see on the menu, within reason of course! They even had gf dessert options icecream, cookies, rice pudding, and chocolate pudding. The food was delicious and I had not symptoms after eating here. The service was AMAZING!!!

This place was great! The manager was very well informed of gluten in the food. They had me scan a QR code where I chose the allergy items and it brought up exactly the foods I was able to eat from the buffet. They also informed me of a new Udi's gluten free snickerdoodle cookie they had just gotten in. They also gave me a specific gluten free menu that could be ordered from as well. Overall, I was very impressed.

I was nervous to come here after reading some reviews but have no fear. I had an amazing experience. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and her husband,Will, was the head manager. Great team and great service. Will took me around the buffer and explained what I could have and couldn't. He was amazing! The buffet has more than I expected on it. Definitely enough for me to justify the cost. Anything I couldn't have, he offered to prepare it in the kitchen safely. I have celiacs so he even explained the Rice pudding was GF BUT was prepared in their kitchen around four so offered me a GF packaged cookie or brownie they have which they warm up for you safely. Great experience and looking to come back again. Just remember to ask for Will!
