I have Celiac and This is my favorite restaurant in Orange Beach. They have several items to choose from that are GF. The Grouper bayou and Shrimp & Grits are so good! I have eaten here many times and never had any issues. The staff is very knowledgeable.

Not safe. Manager couldn't care less about gluten contaminated food.

Designated Gluten free menu items come out with gluten all over them.

Celiacs....do not eat here.

*Wrongfully marked GF item* Went to Ginny Lane this 4th of July. Our waiter, Josh, was amazing, great service. I ordered the pecan, pear, warm goat cheese salad which was indicated gluten friendly. Came out with the goat cheese deep fat fried in gluten bread and a shared fryer. We talked to the manager and she was not helpful in the situation. Overall, ok food. The best part was the drinks and service :) was also able to make my mashed potatoes gf special

This is one of our favorite spots! The best GF Shrimp and grits I have ever had! I have eaten this dish probably five times and have never had any issues. They are very accommodating when you let them know that you cannot have gluten. They have always marked it on my ticket for the kitchen to know also! The grouper is also marked GF but the bartender told me once that the crab that comes on top is not GF, so to make sure to leave that off if you chose the grouper.

Bad experience here. As other reviewers have stated, they label their chips and wings GF even though they have no dedicated fryer, or kitchen space. The food here is overpriced and underwhelming. Nothing tasted fresh or scratch prepared and we did not feel well after eating. When I asked the manager about cross contamination protocol he said there was none. He did not label our order GF or inform the kitchen that it was being prepared for an allergy. I do not recommend.

GF items marked on menu. No dedicated fryer. Food was honestly some of the best I've had in my life.

Server seemed knowledgeable and stated the best way to ensure no CC issues is to order only items marked GF. They are 100% GF and thus chances of issues are very very slim.

Shrimp and grits were fantastic! Going back tomorrow for the grouper!

They have marked on their menu gluten free items, Spinach and artichoke dip with homemade corn tortilla chips is marked gf. I ask waitress if they have gf fryer. She assures me they do.....when brought to the table I asked again about separate fryer .....then another waitress comes to table and says we do NOT have a separate fryer. I was just ready to take a bite. Manager then came over....they remade my dip and served it with celery and carrot sticks. Manager apologized and assured me he used this opportunity to educate a new waitress. My complaint is the menu lists this as a gf option when it isn’t unless modified. Yet I still give them 4 stars because the dip was delicious and they rectified the situation before I ate anything.

They have a gf adult menu and I was able to also get a gf kids chicken by subbing for grilled chicken and baked fries instead of the regular. The food is good.

Gluten free items are clearly marked on the menu and there are several things to choose. My son ordered the shrimp and grits which looked awesome. I got the steamer pot and it was very good. Nice atmosphere overlooking the marina at the bay.
