Things on the menu are marked as GF, including the crab cake sandwich and stuffed shrimp. I had the special of the day, stuffed flounder and it was wonderful. I asked the waitress a question about gluten and she made my salad without croutons though I had forgotten to request that specifically. Really great experience!

I had the spinach artichoke appetetizer, crab cake entree and chocolate cake for dessert. The menu is marked "GF" for safe foods. The waitress was knowledgeable and helpful. The portions are large and I couldn't finish it all and took the cake to go. Very nice.

Very knowledgeable about celiac, felt safe eating there. Gluten free Crabcake sandwich, shrimp cocktail, potato chips. Fairly extensive gf menu, French salad dressing not gluten-free. Service fantastic, never felt rushed, went for a late lunch early dinner at 3:30, did not leave until almost 6:30, felt like you were "family" sitting around the dinner table.

Great place for anyone with Celiac. Kitchen takes allergies very seriously. My options are not limited by being celiac, and there is lots of choices. The staff is all well trained on gluten, and it’s nothing new to them. In addition to having lots of options, the food is very good! Probably the best gluten free place I’ve been!

The food was great! I had the crab cakes, soup of the day ( seafood chowder), and Zoe’s crush (ginger cookie with ice cream) for dessert. The service was great. It’s a noisy place but other than that great. Lots of gluten free options.

The service is terrific and knowledgeable. I had crab stuffed shrimp and it was amazing. Crab cakes are always gluten free and only one salad dressing is not. The menu is clearly marked and the selection is good! Would definitely recommend!

Ate here a few times and didn’t get sick. Not a crazy amount of gf options on the typical menu but still had some! We even had our rehearsal dinner here for our wedding where we were able to pick from dinner plate choices and they had quite a few meal options that were gluten free. Even had a gluten free dessert for us to add to our menu! They were great to work with for an event like this.

First time visit with our son who has celiac. He had nachos which were huge and very good. We just did the appetizer thing, and the spinach artichoke dip was great (order chips with it instead of bread). Our server Sheila was very attentive and prices are reasonable. We will definitely return on our next visit to Lancaster. Overall a great find, whether celiac or not.

What a delightful find! The food was excellent, our server (Drew) was very nice and efficient, and the meal didn’t break the bank! We enjoyed the steak salad and the daily special of prime rib. The menu was clearly marked (gf) and the server did check for us on the salad dressings. Definitely a place to revisit!

Excellent food and service! They had several GF options and made us feel safe and accommodated (2 people with celiac, and 1 with celiac and dairy allergy). The salmon was one of the best we have had, and the ice cream dessert was locally made! No one got sick afterwards.

Lots of GF options clearly marked on the menu. Waitress was lovely, attentive and knowledgeable. My super-sensitive Celiac husband was able to enjoy delicious nachos with the rest of us and loved the Shepard's pie as his entree. Most importantly, he did NOT get sick. Looking forward to returning soon.

Stopped here for late unch. Wasnt crowded, but everyone greeted me, provided great service, was friendly, engaged in conversation, and they made a good mixed drink. I ordered the braised beef sandwich with caramelized onions special on gluten free bread and it was excellent. Could have ordered a 2nd. They had lots of GF options as well. Seems like a place you could explore the menu with GF options and have a good experience each time. 3 mixed drinks & 1 sandwich= $28.00

Our son is new to Gluten Free foods as we just recently found he has Celiacs so getting him to like the foods has been a struggle. The waiter was knowledgeable about most of their Gluten Free menu (whatever he didn't know he was very honest to admit it and got the answer) and was very patient with us & our 50 questions. It was a very nice experience overall.

I am gluten sensitive, my wife gluten intolerant. My salad has one crouton that had fallen into it from another salad when the server brought food to several tables. This is no big deal for me but if that happened to my wife and she did not notice it, it could have been serious. Other than that we both had the salmon and it was fantastic! Gluten free is clearly stated on each applicable menu item.

i was there for a reunion and they servers were very knowledgable of what I could have on the buffet that was prepared. Since I couldn't eat either of the entrees that were prepared, they prepared mine separately. The food was excellent and they were very careful. We won't hesitate to go back when we're in the area.

The staff was very accommodating and the chilly is excellent just right on the heat. They also have New Planet Pale Ale, a very good beer.
