The server asked right away if anyone had any allergies. They seemed to understand celiac. I ordered the Philly roll and yellowtail roll and did not get sick. They have gf items marked on the menu.

We ate at Cowfish last Saturday, November 19, 2022. Gluten sensitive suggestions are listed on the menu. Our waitress began by asking if we have any food allergies. She was very careful and made sure my gf allergy was noted. When our server delivered our plates, he shared that food preparers changed gloves and prepared my food in a designated area. I had a tuna roll and a yellowtail roll. They came with gf soy sauce. The food was outstanding. They also offer gf buns for their burgers. I highly recommend this place. We have eaten here numerous times and not had a bad experience.

I’m newly celiac and while they did not have a dedicated gluten-free menu the staff was very kind and helpful and the kitchen was more than willing to modify certain items. I’ve always loved the ahi tuna nachos but can’t eat the wonton so they made it so I could have it as a lettuce wrap or on sliced cucumber which was delicious!

Chef came out and handed me my meal with an allergen toothpick in it. Waitress was well-versed in dealing with allergies. Food was great and no reactions!

Our waiter was not very informative in regards to gluten free options so I went with something super safe...plain sashimi. So far so good! The manager brought the food out and seemed a lot more knowledgeable than our waiter about celiac!

Very attentive staff that took celiac disease seriously (all food for me had tooth picks with flags saying allergy) but if you're a celiac, not a lot of options due to cross contamination. No separate grill or prep space. Their menu clearing states they can not offer 100% GF. I had a green salad with side of edamame. Nothing to write home about but I wasn't poisoned!

Very good about cross contamination. We said that I had celiac and they knew the drill. They are very knowledgeable and do everything in their power to make their food safe to eat. The waiter came out and told us they were cleaning everything and putting down wax paper. Highly recommend this place, my new favorite restaurant. #celiacheaven

This was one of the first restaurants i went to after finding out i was a celiac...i desperately needed bread and the staff was so helpful and made sure that my fries were cooked separately and even gave me gluten free food recommendations!

Went with my two children who have celiacs. Waiter was extremely helpful and patient. My son had the sushi and daughter had a burger. Both very tasty. Not sure if it was the manager or kitchen manager but he came to our table and reassured us that they take it very seriously-change gloves, separate utensils etc. Great to hear & much appreciated! Plus they didn't get sick which is the most important!!

Just as awesome for GF as the one in Raleigh. Love the build your own sushi for multiple food allergies and of course love the taste. Highly recommended though the price is a bit steep.

They label everything on the menu that can be made GF as GS (Gluten Sensitive) because they are well aware that ingredients alone don't make it safe for us celiacs.

Server was knowledgable and very accommodating. Food was good and I didn't get glutened. Only downside was that it is pricey

The waiter was a little attitude-y however the menu has GS (gluten sensitive) next to all the safe menu items. Chicken cobb salad with a GF dressing was very tasty :)

Cowfish is a family favorite, and I'm happy I can eat there comfortably and safely. There is not a huge GF selection on the menu, but what there is I feel I can trust and the staff are well aware and will ask about any food allergies they need to be aware of when they ask for your order.

I had heard this was a safe enough* place to eat …. Upon arriving and speaking to our server, I really didn’t feel great about eating there as a highly sensitive celiac. I ended up ordering loaded fries from the appetizer menu. I didn’t get sick, but I also didn’t eat that much. The fries and “cheese” were cold and the dish in general was disgusting. Our server wasn’t highly knowledgeable but acted as though she was. Never saw a manager. My son also has celiac and his order was all wrong but she swore it was gluten free. Just didn’t feel safe and quite honestly was shocked neither of us got sick.

They have a dedicated fryer folks! I had a burger and fries. Both were delicious. I was surprised by the bun and turns out they serve Udi's brand as the GF bun option. The server was knowledgeable about food allergies saying what they can make gluten/dairy free. I enjoyed my meal and had no ill effects. I highly recommend this place.
