The cashier has a separate list of what can be made gluten free. I got the fresh catch platter and chose charbroiled with rice and home potatoes and Cole slaw. I am never a fan of Cole slaw but I actually like this. The home potatoes were very flavorful and the ono was fresh. The portions are huge. Since it is fresh catch it is market prices. I am stuffed and it was excellent. Frier has gluten so nothing fried is an option. They also have salads and corn tortilla tacos

I ended up going 5 times and tried the Ono, snapper and mahi mahi. I liked the sautéed preparation best. This was such a good find. Highly recommend!

So delicious and huge portions! Mention your “allergy” and they’ll mark your order and take precautions accordingly. They also have a separate menu listing what’s safe, including sauces and dressings, if you ask for it at the counter. They’re also willing to get you sauce from the back if you don’t want to risk cross contact at the communal sauces

Delicious fish! A little on the pricey side but big portions make up for it. We had the mahi plate and a lunch taco plate. They have a separate gluten free menu but most of the expected dishes are gluten free. Their tartar sauce and magic sauce are gf too.

Food was delicious and staff was knowledgeable about GF. I ordered mahi mahi plate with rice/home fries. It hit the spot and was all around good quality. There’s a line to get in but it goes fast and once ordered you can grab a seat. I’d go again!

The menu is not labeled but the staff have knowledge as to what is GF or not. All the catch fish plates are GF. I got grilled Maui Maui with home potatoes (which were seasoned to perfection) and my partner got garlic sautéed Ono. It was all very tasty, big portion too! Apparently the line cam be quiet long sometimes but it moves quickly.

Could have most dishes except for fries and fried foods as they don't have a dedicated frier. The fresh catch with Cajun rice and cole slaw were great, no reaction. No gluten free dessert options.

Great fish! I had the catch of the day (grouper!!) with the Cajun seasoning with potato’s and rice. It was super yummy and my mother (also has celiac) has the fish tacos. FYI - The fries are fried in a common fryer. The line looks long, but it moves fast.

Friendly service. They all seemed trained on what Celiac is and how to deal with it. The fresh catch is gluten-free. The French fries don't have a dedicated fryer so they aren't safe, but the rice and potatoes are both safe. Can also have fish tacos on corn tortilla, but I got the fresh catch. Pretty yummy!

We were in Hawaii last week, and when looking for places to eat with GF options, this one came up on this site. They have a lot of options for GF, but I didn't see a separate menu. The person at the order counter knew what was safe and what wasn't. I had the fish of the day plate, snapper w Cajun seasoning with home potatoes (haven't been able to have these since going GF) and rice. Everything was delicious and I have zero regrets eating here.

We wanted to go back again, but the timing didn't work out. Note that it gets pretty busy after 6pm, so if you're up for an early dinner, 5pm is a much shorter line. Worth the wait!

I’m a very sensitive celiac, and I ate here for dinner with no issues! The girl who took my order was super knowledgeable and even was able to list out ingredients for me unprompted to make sure I felt comfortable with it. I got the mahi mahi Cajun style with rice and potatoes, and it was so fresh and delicious.

Went last night and got the mahi mahi sautéed with 1/2 rice and 1/2 potatoes. After the first bite I had to take a picture to share. It was so good! The fish was perfect, and even better when eaten with the slaw that was under it. Rice and potatoes were good too. I definitely recommend this place and I hope that we have a chance to eat here again.

I had the fish taco plate. It was wonderful! The plates have a lot more food than expected. Next time, I would get the lunch portion. The only side not celiac-quality gluten free is the French fries as it’s a common frier. The cashier was very knowledgeable, though. I would definitely eat here again.

Called and spoke with the owner or chef. He was very informative and said most of the items were naturally gf. He also said that he does not recommend celic persons to eat here because of the chance for CC (cast iron skillets, etc) but many gluten intolerant people eat here no problem and has regulars.
