Painted Marlin Grille

The positive, I didn’t get glutened, nice place with view of the bay, and I got a lot of bacon which was good. I got the BBQ burger, and even though I couldn’t have the sauce on it because they said it had gluten. The sautéed onions and mushrooms with bacon sounded good. Unfortunately it all was VERY BLAND! The onions and mushrooms really wasn’t sautéed, still very raw. Their flyer isn’t a dedicated frier, so I had the coleslaw and it was bland too. I can’t attest to the regular food but I feel like gluten free here means no flavor. 😞 If you want a burger and fries, go to Maui Nic’s!!!

I was barely able to get information from this restaurant about which foods were safe for my Celiac son. The food is not small child friendly, and I never was able to find anything out about the cross contamination. Only 1 food choice for non-seafood eaters and my son barely ate the grilled chicken and vegetables. Really bland.

Beautiful setting on the water. Covered, outdoor seating. GF friendly menu. Had blackened flounder with white rice and fresh veggies. Felt great after eating.

Staff and food were amazing. We ordered the shrimp and the mahi tacos. They kept the dressing on the side for both because I can’t have the dairy and so my husband was still able to enjoy. They also subbed asparagus for the rice and put his rice on the side to not cross contaminate.

Second time to visit. Both times, the staff was knowledgeable and took extra precautions to make sure my food was gluten free. Mahi tuna steak was delicious! Make sure you tell them NO hushpuppies. Grilled shrimp salad was also delicious!

The staff is great and food is delicious very allergy friendly. It also has many gluten free options. Staff is familiar with celiac and other allergy’s.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ate here with my family who have a few allergy's (dairy and gluten being the big two). Our server Jairo was fantastic, friendly and able to make it all work without making my kids feel like there's anything wrong with them. Truly lovely experience and I highly recommend their margarita (or 2!) For the coeliacs...

Good menu. Kids menu is good and cheap and grilled shrimp and french fries. Lots of decent Texas craft beers also if the dad (like me) is gluten friendly. Kids can bring a ball and play on the giant grass area next to the restaurant or watch the fishing boats come in (they'll even cook what you catch here!)

Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not many options, but fun patio and view of the bay. I got a chicken sandwich lettuce wrapped with cole slaw.

This is a fun casual spot on the bay side. Outdoor dining and really cool bright decor. They didn't offer a GF menu but our waiter was very knowledgeable about the GF choices! Peel and eat shrimp was awesome and the pork tacos were sooooo good! We will go back.
