Shipwreck Reef Cafe

No gluten free options. Had to explain how to make a Caesar gluten free and that they need new gloves. They have no training despite Sea World’s claims.

Not a lot of options in the park for actual lunch. We did speak to someone who made us a chicken Cesar salad without croutons and a cheeseburger without a bun. Felt fine without any reactions,

Disappointing. They must have changed their menu. Waited in line for over 45 minutes only to get inside and find out they don’t have any options other than rice, carrots and broccoli and Salmon. The food was terrible, fish dry and rice and vegetables over cooked. Our other option was the giant turkey leg outside that was like eating beef jerky. It’s hard to believe that they have no other potions. Burgers are cooked on grill with buns, told to go to Pizza place and they had run out of gluten free pizza by noon. My daughter had no food for the day.

I went over with the line cook my child’s gluten allergy. They assured me that they have all the precautions in place: dedicated gluten free area, gluten free buns, etc. This is simply not the case, my poor child was sick for days after eating here. Even after discussions it is clear the staff on-site do not take their precautions seriously.

They changed their gloves, and I ate the chicken and rice without getting sick. Good experience!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Did not eat here but was told the options were rotisserie chicken, salmon, or baby back ribs (sub fruit for fries since they’re not gf)

I was hesitant to eat here since it was just noon and if I had a reaction, the day would be ruined. However, I didn’t get a reaction from my chicken and rice and enjoyed rest of my day at SeaWorld.

The supervisor came out, told me what was gluten free, and hand delivered my meal to me. The food was pretty good and I did not get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent service, excellent care Thankful to be taken seriously and not looked at like a pain.

Maria, the supervisor, came out and took our order personally, making sure we ordered gf items. She made our order personally, too. We appreciated her care and thoroughness. Yes, it took a little longer but that's a price I'm willing to pay to know my family is getting safe food! Too bad you have to go to Sea World to eat here!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waited forever. Poorly managed. ONLY supervisor is even allowed to talk to someone about gluten free options and supervisor is not readily available. Pricing is $$$. Did get a "specially" made meal, ended up having to eat on dirty tables. Bottom line-- you can eat gluten free there but I wouldn't recommend it.

The supervisor Maria came out with a folder of allergen information & was very careful about letting us know of any cross contamination issues. To say she was meticulous is an understatement. She personally prepared all of our food & was beyond friendly & understanding. We were very impressed.
