Island Wing Company

We were really looking forward to eating here. Ended up being VERY VERY DISSATISFIED AND DISAPPOINTED! We only ordered off the GF menu and let them know we were GF. Everything came out except our side of fries (which we also ordered GF). When we told the waiter he said “oh I forgot to put them in with your order”. (Even though we had ordered everything at the same time). He came out a few mins later and put down the fries. We start eating and had eaten about 1/2 the basket of fries when I notice the basket of fries looked different from my friend on the kids plate that had a GF burger on it. I flagged down the waiter and asked him and he said “oh, my bad! I’ll get you the GF ones”. We waited and waited and a waitress came and put down some fresh fries. My husband ate one and ANOTHER waiter comes over and says “you had the GF fries, right?” And he took the basket the lady had just sat down and put down another basket! My husband and daughter are the ones that have the issues with gluten and my husband is celiacs and they are the ones that ate the majority of the fries!!!! It was very careless and we will not be back! I will also be speaking with the manager tomorrow.

Huge disappointment!!!! Overpriced mediocre food! I will say, I have celiac, and I didn't get sick. However, the food was terrible. I ordered the smoked tuna dip and asked for tortilla chips to go with it. The waiter was concerned about cross contamination, which was silly because the chips were most definitely Santitas brand. The tuna was like it came from a can and they mixed mayo and too much salt. I also ordered the French fries because there aren't many places I can eat fries from. The first batch they brought were still raw. The second batch was burnt. The rest of our party also complained about the food not being that great or fresh. Like the burgers and chicken from the chicken sandwich were frozen then cooked.

Service was top knotch. They were busy, yet the staff worked together. If server, not ours, noticed we needed something they asked and then brought it. Our server assured me that the cook knew I needed gluten free to be prepared separately from other foods. Food was very tasty and service was great !

Baked wings for the win!

Well marked gluten sensitive menu. Placed order and expressed concern for cross contamination and they assured me they would take precautions.

We got three orders Chipotle Cheddar Garlic Parmesan Sweet and Spicy Polynesian

All amazing, but the Polynesian was our favorite!

Love this. Thank you. Will be back our next visit to Destin!

Great food, very knowledgeable about gluten allergy.

Great for French fry lovers. No shared frier to worry about here! All the other stuff I’d be really careful. The staff doesn’t seem very knowledgeable. It’s more of a sports bar vibe so not the place I would go if I wanted a really good and really safe gluten free meal. However, the fries are a reliable choice, and this is where I go if I’m craving decent fries and a drink.

The fries and wings were good. Separate menue with clear outline of sauces, dressings and menu items which were GF. No reaction after eating there, but I am only mildly sensitive to cross contamination.

Went here based on reviews. The staff were fantastic and they had a separate gluten free menu, but the food wasn't fantastic. I had the garlic Parmesan wings and the bacon cheese fries. Wings didn't have much flavor and the fries were soggy.

Ordered online. There was no option to mark it GF (though you can choose GF fries). I spoke to the restaurant and confirmed the wings are GF as is (just pay attention to which sauces are safe on the GF menu posted online). They said I could call back after placing the order and they’d make sure it was noted GF for the kitchen. Had wings and fries, no issues.

I have eaten here a few times with no issues. I order the wings and GF fries with no issue. It is a shared kitchen so I stick to what works but it is delicious.
