All the chowders are GF and they have GF buns. Was asked if I am Celiac, so they were careful with cross contamination

Picturesque and authentic slice of Maine! They had GF buns - my son wanted a hamburger but the grill wasn’t fired up due to weather so the only option for him was a hotdog. Adults would happily enjoy the lobster or rolls on Gf buns. They were knowledgeable about celiac, offered to change their gloves etc. Dessert truck on property had GF ice cream options too.

The bread was absolutely incredible, I got it with butter, which I would highly recommend. It was also gorgeously located. Would definitely come back!

GF chowder! Amazing GF rolls for lobster and crab rolls...buttered and toasted, not cold and dry like some of the other places we tried. Amazing! Icecream and rootbeer floats for dessert if you have room. I cannot speak to cross contamination or what precautions are taken in the kitchen. But, our meal was the best of a 2 week vacation for gf and non gf.
