Islands Restaurant

This is NOT a celiac friendly place. They have a gluten free menu, sure, but I was glutened here and developed the worst case of DH I’ve ever seen because of it. I’ve never dealt with DH before this. But it literally was all over my body. My toes, feet, ankles, calves, knees, thighs, arms, scalp, my face, and my hands were covered in it like gloves. Do not waste your time with this establishment. Even when you make it crystal clear that you have celiac disease and need the kitchen to change their gloves you’ll still end up sick.

They always ask if you have an allergy or a sensitivity, and I’ve never gotten sick from eating here. The gluten free buns are actually really tasty and soft! Huge plus! You can also get the tacos on corn tortillas or a beach bowl- but ask for no sauce because the sauce has gluten in it.

We used our Nimasensor and the fries are definitely gluten-free!! They have dedicated fryers and are aware of cross-contamination. Appreciate their efforts!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable, they have a gluten free menu, but a lot of the regular menu can be made gluten free by using the GF bun. The teriyaki sauce has gluten in it but the fries are gluten free (and delicious).

Gluten free menu designated. I was feeling sick, so I got a Kobb salad. It was AWESOME! Most times you get lettuce and a little fixings... This was jam packed with tasty goodness.

Server confirmed they have separate fryers for their French fries and are not cooked in the same oil as the onion rings, fish, and breaded chicken. Beef patties are cooked on their own grill top. We requested a GF bun. However, they mentioned buns are cooked on the same grill top. We opted to get the GF bun off the grill due to celiac.

Their French fries are made in a dedicated gf fryer!! It’s the little things.

Decent burgers, can choose a gf bun or wrap in lettuce. And fries!

I want to try the tacos some time. Will still get fries.

Their gf alcoholic drink selection is a bit wanting. Wine or hard mixed drinks - no seltzers or ciders. But they have gf fries, and that goes a long way.

Did I mention that they have safe fries? They have fries!

Islands is a great spot. Simple menu, burgers and fries. Separate frier…knowledgeable staff. Felt safe and kids did not get sick.
