There is not a GF menu, but I ordered steamed stone crab, boiled potatoes and oysters. I did not get sick, but cross contamination could be high here. Would stick to just the raw/steamed selections.

We are both celiac and this place was amazing! While they do t have a dedicated GF menu, there are LOTS of GF options. Our server, Jenna, was also a Celiac and incredibly knowledgeable about food choices that would be safe. We ate the conch ceviche, raw oysters, and broiled seafood combo...all were.delicious and we didn't get sick! Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

When I asked what was GF I got my least favorite answer...”well, the salads should all be gluten free, and the grilled fish too”. That was almost enough to get me to leave but I stuck it out because I was really hoping that the Oyster’s Rockefeller was gluten-free (it isn’t). After a little more prodding and getting her to actually check into some things there are a decent amount of items that are gluten-free. She told me the fries were gluten-free but when I asked her if they were fried in the same fryer she said they were.

I think you can go here and eat some items safely (I had the bbq baked oysters), but this is far from a risk free place...I’ll update you later if I got sick from it!

Boiled shrimp with key lime garlic butter, cole slaw and fries were great! Not celiac but had no issues. On the harbor and watched the sunset. Simple and perfect!

We had a very friendly and knowledgeable server. She immediately knew which ways to best prepare fish for my children with Celiac, as well as which sides were GF. They also have a yummy flourless chocolate cake!

very knowledgeable server. All "fresh catch" fish can be made gluten free. The server also knew which sides were safe. If you are looking for cocktails, they also have Tito's vodka.
