Wow! We had an amazing meal tonight. Started with their signature French fries. Next, peel your own shrimp, steam clams, and crab legs. The GM, William Cooney came out to talk to me and assured me that their kitchen follows all safety protocol for allergies. We will definitely be back!
Not sure where the bad reviews for Chckie & Pete's are coming from. I'm celiac and absolutely love the wings and crab fries, which are all gf anyway, no special accommodations needed. It would be a shame if anyone not from here didn't try it! Just be careful of Chickie & Pete's stands, like on the boardwalks and stuff, but the restaurants are good to go
I have Celiac Disease this was my first time eating here. I had buffalo wings and crab fries; delicious! I didn't get sick! I'm so happy, after five years living in Northeast Philadelphia , I can finally eat out! Thank you so much Chickie's and Pete's!!!
I recently called to place an order here but when I asked about a Gluten Free Menu, the person had no idea what I was talking about. I don't know if they have a new manager or not or if they changed their menu. But I no longer recommend this place for those with Celiac Disease. 😞
Menu notes their famous crab fries as being gluten-free
I have celiac and I am very sensitive to cross-contamination. Upon arriving we got the GF menu. However the server had no idea what gluten is, or what cross-contamination means. I asked him if the oil is shared with gluten items. He went to the kitchen, came back and said yes all the oil is the same. So I ate nothing, not feeling safe. Also, afterwards I contacted the restaurant and the manager said that the fries have their own safe oil. It's confusing to me so I wouldn't go back.
Not safe. My family and I went here because everyone kept saying crab fries at Chickie's and Pete's are safe. I got three different stories from three people. Initially I was handed a GF menu, and I was SO excited. Then I was told that's old and they don't do that anymore. Then I was told I could still have the fries or some other items (like a burger, sans bun), then the kitchen manager came out and told me nothing is safe from cross contamination, fryer included. Naturally, I didn't feel safe and wouldn't eat anything. I sat there and cried into my glass of champagne while the rest of my family ate. As usual. An insanely frustrating experience.
Ordered the bone in wings (dry rub), cheese steak nachos, and crab fries ( no seafood, cheese on the side). I really miss fried foods and this place hits the spot. We had take out so I cant comment on the knowledge of the wait staff. The person who took our order confirmed there is a dedicated fryer for all these items. Side note: Philly cheesesteak was delicious for my non celiac partner. He said the bread was soft, I gave him the side eye. Lol 😂
I have celiac and I always get their crab fries! They are very serious when it comes to making sure it’s safe. Whenever I talk to a server they always go and double check to make sure. It’s a separate fryer for fries and the sauce is safe too! I have a bunch of other allergies and they were very helpful with helping me find out if it was safe!
Don’t waste your time - lol $18 for fries with “crab seasoning” on them. The GF menu is burgers without buns or nachos. I settled with the fries (which they claim to have an individual fryer for). I’m already having issues so I don’t think that’s accurate. I wouldn’t bother. Go somewhere else!!!!!
