Paugus Bay Pub

Would not recommend. The menu looked great online, but once we got there, it seemed the staff aren’t up to the standards the items are trying to achieve. They have things labeled as GF on the menu but the servers and cooks seemed to be clueless about allergies and cross contamination. When I asked about the fryers and if they have a dedicated GF fryer the server asked the cooks and the cooks didn’t know what was fried in what. Decided to order an app that seemed safe, the crispy pork belly with scallops. For $16 there were only two scallops and two small pieces of pork belly, with torn up bacon sprinkled on it. The plating wasn’t great, the sauce was messy. I went with a wedge steak salad for the entree. The cook on the steak was over and again the presentation on the salad was messy. It wasn’t even a wedge, just pieces of iceberg on a plate.

I will say that my kids, who are not GF, did enjoy the pizza, but I had a gluten reaction a few hours after eating there and can’t recommend this place to anyone with cross contamination concerns.
