Good food and fun atmosphere. Waitress seemed to have a lot going on so was not very helpful and seemed rushed to answer questions. Had done research and called prior so I felt safe. Got the fish and chips, big piece of fish with a great crunch! Overall good food.

Great restaurant with accommodating staff! They had gluten free beer, bread, and many of the meals could be adapted to be gluten free even if they weren’t.

Waiter was very knowledgeable and clarified that my food was gluten free when it came out.

Just got a salad, but they had gf shepherd’s pie and a gluten free fish fry both of which sounded great.

Going here for years, very safe. Menu changes every so often but minimum of one item identified as gluten free. Fish and chips unreal.

Had the gf fish and chips and really enjoyed them. The fish was crispy and not greasy. Better than what I remember of traditional fish and chips. Didn’t have dessert but they had some nice options. Good service and great location

I don’t know who other reviewers had as a server or what menu they saw, but I left nearly as quickly as I came in. Our server tried to convince me beef & Guinness pie was gluten free. She was adamant. It was one of two options she said were gf. Easy decision to leave.

Great menu options! Every single allergin possible was listed with a dose at the bottom of the menu. Staff didn't event blink twice when I asked for gluten free fish and chips. Portion size was great! Staff were knowledgeable- waiter even mentioned the ketchup was gluten free! 45 min later and I'm still feeling great so I'd go ahead and say this is celiac friendly!

I have celiac and came here for dinner on vacation. I ordered a rockshore cider and I got a rockshore lager after telling the waitress I have celiac and having her check the cider was GF. Unfortunately I got very sick from the gluten beer. I left right away and did not get to try the food. It was a bar tender error and they did not charge us for the drinks we had already ordered.

Great food, service, and atmosphere! The food was excellent and completely safe. I had the fish and chips, which was already GF, and my wife had a chicken sandwich and onion rings. The waitress even proactively asked if she was celiac. Would definitely visit again.

I had an amazing experience at the Front Door when we visited Galway in March. The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating of my gluten sensitivity and shellfish allergy. I was able to enjoy nachos, steak for dinner and dessert without any issues. I highly recommend checking out the Front Door.

GF marked on the menu - limited menu for Sunday brunch but staff seemed knowledgeable and assured me that a separate portion of the foods were prepared GF. My stew was delicious but I felt a little queasy afterwards...could just have been travel, but a caution for those who dine here in the future.

On vacation from the States and I have IBS, so a lot of food, including food with Gluten in them, I cannot eat. I had the shepherds pie and chips, it was fantastic and I didn’t have any reaction to the food. The menu was clearly marked and easy to find food I could eat.

This restaurant was exceptional. The manager spoke to us extensively. All of their battered dishes are gf. Best onion rings I have ever had, even compared to gluten battered.
