Amazing place with almost everything being GF. I love the variety of toppings and mix ins, with non-fish options for those who may not love fish to please the whole family.

Everything is gf except for the crispy toppings at the final step! Build your own bowls with lots of vegetarian/vegan toppings to choose from! Spicy and non spicy options as well. Very clean and seemingly low risk of CC. Also have gluten free and dairy free dole whip available! $15 a bowl but you gets lots of food in one meal! Greta service also!

Sounds like we've mastered the art of 'almost' gluten-free! If only those crispy toppings could get with the program. But hey, who needs 'em when you've got a rainbow of veggie options and dairy-free dole whip to dive into?

Wow, delicious, lots of options, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I have celiac, and will definitely be back here regularly. Just avoid some of the crunchy toppings, all the rest, including sauces, are GF.

This is my favorite gf place in Tallahassee. Basically everything but one or two of the crunchy toppings in shakers at the very end is gf, so no cross contamination risk. The marinades/sauces are gf tamari, lots of tasty varieties as you can build your own bowl. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the Dole soft serve is DELICIOUS!! They also have options like cooked chicken, tofu etc so vegetarians and even vegans can eat here, too.

We love Island Fin! My daughter has Celiac disease with SEVERE reactions. We safely eat here—enjoying deliciously fresh food knowing we are safe from any contamination. All items are gluten free except for a few toppings that are separate from the rest of the food. So many options! Many options for dairy free too! We cannot recommend it enough!

I absolutely love to eat here. Everything but 3 items on the menu is gluten free. So many options, which if you are gf, you know, that just isn’t the case with most places to eat. Being celiac isn’t easy to navigate through. But this place makes it easy.
