Chapin's Bayside

Specifically told them my daughter had a gluten allergy (celiac) Asked for our options . The menu said gf pasta was available…Ordered plain pasta with butter and cheese. My daughter ate about half the pasta when the waitress came over and informed me that was not gluten free pasta and she only had burger patty and grilled chicken available for her. No manager ever came by ….

Great experience!!! I initially ordered a GF pizza, but the waitress came back and warned me that there is flour in the pizza oven. I changed my order to fried clams. She also confirmed that the fries are made ahead of time in a big batch so not safe for any celiac or allergy. I opted for the Cole slaw and mashed potatoes. Not only was everything delicious, but I did not get sick.

Gluten free/celiac knowledgeable - fryer dedicated GF for meat/seafood but NOT for French fries. Cesar salad can be made GF and is so good, their GF mains are so good (had scallop special one time and salmon another time). They will ask if something can be accommodated if it’s not marked. Of note is that the dining room can be very crowded but it’s a fun scene. And free valet parking only (cash tip)

We ordered items that were marked GF on the menu and told our waitress that all four of us had a gluten allergy. Unfortunately 3 of the 4 were nauseous and had stomachaches after eating here.

Went for drinks and apps. I am celiac and I noticed that the menu had changed and they now have it marked with gluten free choices. I was a bit skeptical after reading a recent review in where a fellow celiac got sick but I still wanted to check it out. Sat at the bar and to my surprise the have Omission beer. Right away that was a plus. After looking over the menu I was thinking sushi, and I asked the bartender if they had gluten free soy sauce. She replied no we don’t. So I then opted for the fried calamari and general gaos wings. I told her I have a gluten allergy and to make sure she noted that they need to be gluten free. She assured me she would. Both apps were very good. As I write this the following day, I am happy to say I had NO reactions. I will def return.

Just ate here. Fries are not celiac safe , they are cooked in a shared fryer. Seafood and chicken wings are fried in a separate frier (allegedly). Got chicken wings and calamari as apps and a Cesar salad with steak. Felt sick before leaving … definitely glutened , i haven’t felt this sick in a while.

NEW MENU (summer 2023) has tons of gluten free options! FRIED seafood, pizza and pasta! The fried scallops were delicious and they were very aware of gluten.

Ehhhh...gone down hill and don’t recommend

Slow service, and only GF was GF buns for sandwiches (plain Udis, wasn’t even toasted), or they could grill seafood vs fry. They did have grilled chicken or steaks. No GF pasta. Fries and wings were GF but cooked in non-dedicated fryer. We got pulled pork and a burger on GF buns. Burger was ordered med rare and came out more we’ll done and was dry. Pulled pork was just mediocre. GF buns were dry and not fresh. We won’t rush back here.

I don't know how much I would trust this place. Shared fryer, but with a few other options. They used to have a separate GF menu, but a new chef changed the entire menu and now there are just GF substitutions like rolls. But my sister and I both got regular rolls instead of the GF ones and had to hail down the waitress to inform her of the mistake. Then five minutes later they sent someone out with 2 buns to just move the chicken from one sandwich to the next despite knowing we had celiac. Thankfully they finally made all new sandwiches with the safe buns but it was quite a process. Also, the rice I had as my side was dry and crunchy in random places inside the scoop

Awmazing food, a lot of options, however a long wait.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Doesn’t have the most extensive GF menu. Got the chicken fingers- they were okay, nothing phenomenal, corn meal base. Portions were decent.

Decent GF menu - very good buffalo wings

Ordered GF fish dinner and didn't make it out of restaurant without getting ill.

Excellent choices for celiac kids, twins had chicken tenders, cheese pizza and ice cream for dessert, will definitely go back. Waitstaff very knowledgeable. Eat with no fear.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good gf food. knowledgeable staff as far as gf options

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Always looking for kid-friendly gluten free menu items. The chicken fingers were excellent but only available in a large appetizer portion. It would be nice if they (or anyone) would offer a kids menu option like with a side salad or steamed veg.

Yes
