Duffy's Sports Grill

They have a gluten free menu which is nice but we tried ordering online and they said if we wanted to get it gluten free we would have to pick it up because it may not come out as gluten free. So we went there for dinner instead and requested gluten free and it came out as a regular bun and you could tell by the amount of time it took to fix the order that they just put the same burger on the gluten free bun. So do NOT come here if you have an allergy.

We went here with extended family while on a family trip. I didn’t choose this place and was initially very apprehensive because of past reviews. However, I decided to make the most of it. I was most concerned with my two celiac children. This place has offerings consistent with sports bars. The gluten-free menu is actually labeled “gluten sensitive.” It isn’t extensive, but offers a few items including gluten free pasta Alfredo. When I spoke to the waiter—he immediately gave me the gluten sensitive menu, but was not able to answer any questions about preparations. He said he would send a manager. The manager said not to worry, because the gluten free items would trigger a special preparation on the ticket. I kept on telling him that the food could not have any cross contamination and he did not suggest he would speak to anyone about it, but just said that the cooks were careful. Ummmmmm—lets just say that it didn’t bring me any confidence at all and after using up so much energy trying to explain to both waiter and manager and waiting about half an hour, I talked to my kids and they settled on gluten free pasta. My son had a marinara on his and my daughter went for the Alfredo. My son thoroughly enjoyed his tiny helping and actually wanted more. My daughter’s pasta was undercooked and very chewy, but her shrimp were great. I would say that this was not my favorite place and if given the choice, I would not return here not just because of the gluten concerns, but because the service was lacking overall, each person’s food came out at a different time, the waiter would disappear, the bathrooms were disgusting, and the manager seemed a little too lax and unconcerned with my kids’ orders. Neither of them got sick, so I won’t say that they messed anything up, but as far as restaurants go in general, this was just not my favorite.

I was just happy to find a place close that had a gluten free option. They do have a dedicated GF menu; it had a fair enough options available. Let's be realistic here, we shouldn't expect a full multi-page menu. The burgers are good and Udi's bread is always a guarantee flavor. If you are expecting more from a sports bar in terms of offerings then go find a dedicated GF restaurant, but this was a good option for a bar scene on the water.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! Yes they have a gluten free menu which is the reason I went here. The menu is very small and they list obvious items such as broccoli gluten free. After asking the woman who seated me for the gluten free menu she told me she didn't know what that meant. Finally my waitress brought it over. I ordered the cheeseburger because the menu advertised Udis gluten free buns. When the food came I had a weird feeling about it. The bun did not look gluten free but my waitress assured me twice that it's gluten free and "she has me covered" The bun was definitely not gluten free. Tasted like normal white bread and after researching pictures of Udis buns, it was definitely not Udis. I haven't had a stomach ache this bad in months and urge anyone coming here to be extremely careful. Definitely not coming back

Asked the waiter for the GF menu and they said it was missing. Literally had to guess because the waiter had no idea. The kids menu was marked “gluten sensitive” so I’m hoping my child is ok, we will find out tonight. We ordered adult burgers with GF buns but they didn’t have any GF buns. The menu advertises Udis GF buns. Fries are not GF. Very disappointing overall.

Decent salad, chef salad with honey mustard

Seemed knowledgeable. Menu was labeled gluten sensitive. My daughter had a burger and baked potato.

Gluten free menu with a good amount of options. Got a cob salad with chicken at lunch time and it was so big I ate half and then was able to fill an entire to go container with the left overs. The staff is really knowledgeable and made sure to tell me it was gluten free as the brought it out which I love the reassurance. I will definitely be visiting again.

Update I ate here again. This time had a burger on a gluten free bun (udis) it was so delicious!
