We visited off season in mid November so it was pretty dead. The menu and online states they have a gluten free menu, but when we asked we were told they don't have one but have gluten free buns, wraps, and pizza "so pretty much anything can be made gluten free" when I asked if they had a dedicated fryer the waitress had no idea what I meant and said yes we fry only the fries in one basket and fish and everything else in another. I am mildly gluten sensitive so I did get fries, they absolutely we fried with other fried food because there were chunks of fried bits in my pile of fries. I got the grilled chicken sandwich, the gluten free bun was poor quality and fell apart almost immediately. The sandwich was ok, the chicken tasted cheap, no flavor and kind of chewy. The fries were freshly made and very hot. Boyfriend had no allergies and said his pork sandwich was good and fries and onions were ok - nothing spectacular but not bad. Even given the limited options in the area, I wouldn't go back. Two stars because lunch was ok and staff was friendly enough, also reasonable priced.

Celiac friendly?
