Dedicated fryer but needs 15-20 mins to warm up. Good options. Ordered hot sauce, but it was more sweet than spicy. Still good, however.
Before we had ordered I had the feeling that the cashier wasn’t excited to see my family, but he took our order. Though there is a gluten free section on their menu on the wall, the paper menu’s, and the online menu, it seemed like we had asked a lot when we ordered from it. The cashier explained that equipment would need to be cleaned to make a gluten free order but didn’t hide that it was a inconvenience. We left wondering if our food had been tampered with.
Staff had no knowledge of ingredients, but we ultimately learned that only one sauce (lemon pepper) is gluten free and dairy free. I was also offered salt and pepper as a "sauce". The printed menu has items hand crossed-off the gluten-free menu, which means that early customers may have consumed gluten without their knowledge. We left without eating because it didn't seem safe.

The chef and waitress were knowledgeable about gluten free options and prep. However, the chicken strips were very dry and had no flavor. Our family who ate non gluten free food enjoyed their meal.
So I made the trek and found them today only to be turned away because they were "going shopping" and didnt want to heat the gluten free oil. Told me next time to call first. Not gonna happen because I will not be back.
Lots of options and good food. They didn't have any fries that day but the portion sizes were huge. The cashier didn't know what they had but the manager came out and took good care of us.
They have a dedicated GF menu that includes most things you normally don't expect like wings, tenders, and popcorn chicken, as well as fries. They have a dedicated fryer that just takes a few minutes to heat up. The people were very friendly and attentive to my GF requests.
Low rating due to Not eating here but wanted to inform you that it’s best to call in or pre-order. It takes 20 minutes to warm up the dedicated fryer and another 30 to make the meal. We did not have the time so sadly did not eat here.
No dairy in the GF chicken breading mix. Popcorn chicken was good! French fries are plain and crinkle cut.
Very knowledgeable and reassuring re: celiac safety and necessary precautions. Food not only safe, but tasty with good size portions, yum!
The sauces for the tenders/wings were amazing. Everything is gluten free except a few sides like the mozzarella sticks and poppers which the cashier walked through those with me. Those are made in a separate fryer to avoid cross contamination. Didn't get sick and really enjoyed the meal.
Very friendly and helpful staff. They use a separate fryer and specifically prepare it for you after you order. It takes 30-45min but it was safe! I did not got sick and was so excited to get to have fried chicken.
Very knowledgeable when it comes to gluten free and checked to see if I'm severely intolerant (celiac disease) or not. If you get sick from any amount of gluten, let them know and they will be sure to not let cross contamination occur. The chicken wings were delicious and not dry. The fries were really good too!
They use separate oil and good practices to keep cross contamination down. They seem to get it.
celiac friendly and very nice. hand made at time of order and so good. rice as a side.great service.
Pretty good chicken wings and fries. Chicken tenders were over cooked and dry. I felt really comfortable with there knowledge of gf even though there was no gf menu.
Did not have a gf printed menu. Chic wings were very juicy. GF breaded fried chicken was enjoyed by 3 in our party. They really liked eating fried chicken again. One portion was very dry. Fries were gf too. Be prepared- we waited about a half hour for the food. It was prepared fresh for us. Portions are very large. 3 piece fingers & fries is probably large enough for most.
Staff is very knowledgeable, and takes it seriously when it comes to cross contamination. The cook went to prep everything as soon as he saw I was about to order.
Wonderful to be able to find a restaurant that my daughter can eat at. She gets immediately ill from gluten and was fine after eating the popcorn chicken and fries here. She enjoyed the food, maybe could use a touch of salt but it's available for you to use if you choose. Good portion sizes, good prices. I had the gluten free wings and thought they were good also.
Awesome place! Went here with my family, I have celiac so I am extremely sensitive. They were very accommodating to my situation. I got chicken tenders and fries. Fried using rice flour so they were completely safe, no cross contamination! They had wings and mozzarella sticks that weren't gf but other than that, pretty good options.
The chicken nuggets were beyond awful. It was basically plain chicken with a light dusting and fried. Not what you would expect. I also had the wings which were better, but note they put the sauce on the side. They did cook everything in separate oil, but the the woman working the front was clueless. Sounded like the kitchen new more. We had to wait a LONG time for GF options. If this was yelp I would have given 1 star for service.
Very conscience about gluten. We chatted for quite a while with the owner and she told us how she started offering GF food because of a family of regular customers who had a child with Celiac Disease or some other condition requiring GF. The child's mom helped her learn how to do GF safely.
The food was good and they take precautions for cross contamination. Did not call a head, just had to wait a little longer for food. It's worth the wait
Based on other reviews, I called ahead and ordered Gluten Free. Staff were really helpful and aware; food was delicious - and no issues (Coeliac). Highly recommended.
I called about 20 minutes ahead of time and told them we were coming. The young man behind the counter was so friendly. He warned me our food would take longer. It wasn't a long wait at all. Chicken was delicious. He warned us which sauces weren't GF. We had the mild hot sauce and honey mustard with our popcorn chicken. Celiac kiddo was in heaven. The atmosphere and tables were not great, but the food more than made up for it. Dedicated kitchen space and fryer. Nobody got sick.
Call ahead and you'll be taken care of with safe, yummy chicken wings!
Safe, no reactions, but my chicken was a little overdone, still good. Enjoyed the fries.
Following the advice in other reviews, we called ahead and let them know that someone with celiac disease was coming in. Staff was very helpful and friendly, and despite warnings that my food would take longer to prepare it came out pretty quickly. French fries were perfectly cooked and the wings were tasty.
Definitely want to go back and try the tenders or popcorn chicken next time!
Best kept GF secret on the island! Call ahead, and they will prepare your GF meal especially for you! Celiacs I know absolutely love this place, it is one of the only "fast food" safe places for Celiacs.
Great chicken tenders. Didn't get sick but I did call in ahead to let them know I was coming. Great service too and pretty reasonably priced!
this place is great, with good food and wonderful people. Just call ahead and they will fire up a clean fryer for your gluten free choices.
they do have dedicted procedures for gfree cooking and they don't make the gfree foods in the fryer (read bottom of review). My celiac son can eat here with no problem. we call ahead so they know to expect us and they have the new oil ready for us when we get there. They have expanded their gfree menu to also included chicken tenders. Now you can get the family meal completely gfree!!!! (just remember to ask for the salad without croutons.) they don't have a dedicated fryer BUT they put oil in a pan/pot on the stovetop. So call ahead and tell them you require a gluten free meal, it takes 20 to 25 minutes before they are ready to cook. my son has celiacs and is very easily cross contaminated, however he has NEVER been cross contaminated at Dirty Lickins
I just called . . . They do have gluten free chicken fingers, but they do not have a dedicated fryer. Fine if you are gluten intolerant, but not if you have celiac.
