This place is soooo good! Our waitress was very knowledgeable about their gluten free menu and they had a decent amount of gf options. I ordered the happy hour shrimp special and the blackened mahi mahi with the mashed potatoes and green beans. Delicious! The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce are both gluten free also!

A fun spot on the water with great food and drink specials. Separate GF menu and server noted GF when he put in my order (it shows on the receipt). GF options are a bit limited compared to the whole menu but still plenty to offer.

Margaritas were good, but not a huge GF selection, in my opinion.
The staff doesn't really know much about GF. I didn't realize it was a chain, probably would've skipped it if I had known.
Food was very spendy for the quality.

Had a good experience at Pinchers! I didn’t know they had a GF menu until I asked! They seemed to have lots of different options!

We were a party of six and two liked the food. They have a GF menu but I got sick after eating there.

It was great to know that pinchers had a GF menu however besides ribs and salad it was all seafood. Makes sense because it’s a seafood place but a few more options would have been nice. My server was not educated on food allergies but I appreciated that she checked with the kitchen several times. I had the crab legs and they were great with a side salad that was just ok. You can tell it’s a busy well loved place but they could use a deep cleaning.

Had the broiled Mahi Mahi with a salad that was decent. Nice view if you sit by the window - several boats and Pelicans go by.
There is a gluten free menu with quite a few options. I had the scallop plate with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was delicious! Broccoli was just steamed so I asked for butter which came out as the herbed garlic butter and it was great. They note on the receipt for the kitchen that you are ordering off the GF menu too. There are no gluten free desserts.

I went for dinner and had the salmon broiled with a salad and nothing else. About an hour after I had symptoms of cross contamination and was unwell the following day.

I cannot recommend this for celiacs or folks with gluten allergies. I have celiac disease and I am allergic to gluten. Despite the assurances from the staff, gluten free menu, etc a few bites into my dish I knew that it wasn’t safe. And sure enough within a few minutes I presented with my classic early gluten exposure reaction of intense nausea and vomiting in the bathroom of the restaurant. Major bummer especially on a family vacation… we had boated there as a family, but I was so miserably ill from the gluten exposure I had to Uber back to our accommodation while my family continued on the boat ride.
Unfortunately, this was a major setback for the remaining days of our vacation as my body spiraled into a full blown celiac flare. The staff were very apologetic, they stated everything was “done right” to prevent this from happening— unfortunately my body’s reaction clearly indicated otherwise.
Based on other FMGF reviews I had high hopes for this restaurant, but celiac be warned. It’s not worth ruining the rest of your vacation to gamble on it.

Separate gluten free menu with several options. I had the grilled grouper with cole slaw and smashed potatoes. The grouper was decent, but the sides weren't great. Service was good and they seemed knowledgeable about gluten.
