Most of the menu is GF. All of their breading is gluten free so fried fish and calamari, etc are safe to eat. Crusty rolls were delicious. Not cheap but willing to pay for the comfort level.
Many items on the menu are marked GF, including their fry batter/breading. Was able to enjoy their shrimp tempura roll. Raw bar and sushi offerings are good, especially during happy hour, but I’ve been unimpressed with the rest of their menu, and it’s all wildly overpriced. Service is usually good.
Had GF calamari for $17 and it was tasteless. The spicy tuna sushi was very good. Service was horrible and food overpriced. My stomach also wasn’t quite right after.

The gluten free chowder is back! Waiter said it’s not on the menu yet, but they have it!

Staff was very attentive to everyone in the restaurant. I have celiac and our server Brandon was up to speed on how the kitchen handles gluten free. Fish and chips were amazing. I did not get sick and highly recommend anyone with gluten allergies to eat here!
Loved this. Delicious food. Server said he has worked there 20 years. He patiently answered all my questions and checked “the book” for some of my less common ingredient avoidances. Although I was sad that the gf rolls contain potato, I was grateful he saved me from an episode. Very tasty. A good experience
The server was very knowledgeable about GF & Celiac! A lot of options, with gluten free bread!! The calamari was so good I had to double check it was GF. Very good food!
Everything was so good, separate fryer, very friendly staff, crab cake sliders and calamari very good As
By far, my favorite restaurant in my area. As a Celiac, I’m thrilled to have safe food from a GF frier plus the menu changes a bit here and there to offer up new Test Kitchen option. My partner also loves it!
Went out for date night and had an amazing experience here. Separate fryers and lots of gf choices that are marked clearly. I had some delicious fried calamari and the Cioppino. Felt very safe here and didn’t get sick and I am very sensitive. I would come here a lot if I lived in the area.
The staff was very knowledgeable. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer for fries, fried fish, calamari, etc. it was absolutely delicious and I’m so glad that I discovered this place!
Love their fish n chips. They are not open right now due to covid. Hope they reopen soon😩
We went for a restaurant week lunch and the special menu was not marked for gluten free options, so our waitress went to ask a more knowledgeable waiter. He came over right away, took over our table, ran back to the kitchen to get our questions answered and in a matter of moments, a plate of hot gluten free buns arrived. The waiter was all about how they do gluten free really well there and intend to earn our trust. The food was good, thoroughly gluten free (my husband is super sensitive), and the service was amazing. I know restaurant week is intended to get people to try out new restaurants, but I have never before felt like a restaurant was really trying to get OUR business.
The staff was very accommodating. Legal Seafood offers many items gluten free. We tried the beer battered cod with fries & fried shrimp with fried rice. This place is AMAZING! The manager & waiter was very cautious & made me feel great about eating here without worrying about being sick.
The beer battered fish and chips are excellent! And celiac friendly! Also had classic or traditional fish and chips which were awesome too!
There is no GF chowder at this location, so we headed someplace else.

Love this place. I came to airport early so I could eat here because I’ve always found Legal Sea Foods to be very safe.
We had a wonderful meal, and our server Chris P. took great care to ensure my food was gluten free for my Celiac disease! When one item came out with bread on it, Chris ensured that it was remade quickly. I felt incredibly safe as a celiac.
Amazing experience. Most of the menu is GF, including battered and baked products which is rare to find. Warm GF bread rolls delivered to the table, GF battered fish and GF cheesecake for dessert. Great service also and nice environment.
First time being able to eat GF fried seafood. They have a gf batter and dedicated fryer. Server very knowledgeable and even brought me my own gf rolls after I mentioned the allergy. Great experience. Would recommend!
I’m not sure you are safe from cross contamination, even with the dedicated fryer.
I have a wheat allergy so I have pretty clear symptoms when I am exposed to wheat products. When exposed, I immediately have some throat swelling, then, later, I start having GI upset that sometimes lasts for a couple of days. I started getting some throat irritation, but they have cinnamon sticks in the bathroom and I’m also allergic to cinnamon, so I convinced myself it was the bathroom smells. It’s a few hours later and my stomach is killing me.
They confirmed that my meal was prepared with the dedicated fryer. I think there is some other step where someone didn’t wash their hands or they didn’t use a clean utensil or something. I also noticed, a little too late, that there was food caked on to the appetizer plates they had at the table, so I’m not confident in their cleanliness.
