If there was a separate GF menu, the hostess didn’t know about it. We asked our server for options, and he clearly didn’t understand what gluten FREE meant. We ended up getting salads which were ok…but there was only one salad dressing available and it had a bit of heat to it. I wouldn’t go back.

I came here based on the recommendations on this app. I didn’t think about the fact that they were posted years before and could be out dated. It was not a great experience. There is no gluten-free menu, and very little options. The options that are gluten free are not marked on the menu. There’s no separate fryer, and the waiter wasn’t very helpful with which items were okay for me. There are gf buns. I was told that no substitutions were allowed but they made it possible after I explained that I was celiac and not just gluten sensitive. The waiter who brought the food was unsure at first which one was gluten free of the three burgers we had ordered.

Excellent gluten free options. Excellent meal. Separate gf menu and our waiter double checked items he wasn’t sure of. He even caught tacos that came out in the non gf version which we were very grateful for.

I had the roast beef sandwich with fruit as my side and it was delicious...but most importantly didn’t make me sick! Ask to sit outside, upstairs. The view is beautiful and relaxing. Friendly staff is a bonus.

They have a dedicated menu and the staff can answer questions. I ate the chorizo tacos and street corn side. It came on homemade corn tortillas and it was so good! The chorizo was a little greasy but it was still good. My mom (non celiac) ate shrimp tacos from the GF menu and she said the shrimp was fantastic! She had cole slaw as a side and no complaints there either. Moderately priced and looks put over a marina so it was a lovely dining experience.

This was an unexpected and incredible surprise. Coming here was due to a long wait at a nearby restaurant. Being celiac I was concerned but figured I could get at least a salad. Wow, their gluten free menu was like non other for places like this that I have visited. Malisa, our server, was terrific. She was able to speak to the menu and even checked with the chef to get me a gluten free bbq sauce for my fries. The ribs are on the appetizer menu but with a side of fries it was a meal. I will be back for more!

Service is a little slow but the food more than makes up for it. Tons of GF choices for adults and kids. One of the few places I could find that has GF fries for my kids. And they were yummy!
