Amazing gluten free with dedicated fryer. We got a combo appetizer with fried clam strips, onion strings and fried mozzarella. For dinner we got the Tuesday taco special. The food was fantastic. Cozy interior with nautical theme.

What a breath of fresh air finding a place that caters to GF customers! Tried the GF beer and had the fried pickles and fish fry. Both were great. Husband had a burger ( non gluten free roll) and he enjoyed his meal as well. We will be returning soon!

The food was the best I've had!!! I am so thankful for a restaurant with such a pleasant atmosphere and great food to be so close to home! The fryers are dedicated to gluten-free and there are so many options! The Owner Andrew is so sweet, and while we were there we even met other family members that helped make this experience great!!! I love family owned businesses, nowadays they're harder to find. I will be going back!!!
TLDR: Food is amazing, service was outstanding, safety for the gluten-free folks is guaranteed!

It’s been really tough eating out due to have a lot of dietary restrictions, especially being gluten free. This place is my new favorite spot! Everything on their menu is delicious, and I have a smorgasbord every time I go now because there are so many delicious options. I have not been able to have a good fish fry in years and now I can enjoy one every Friday. This place is amazing, thank you so much!! :)

Just here to say that if you’re on the fence about trying The Galley Bar and Grill… DO IT!! Huge menu, great food, super safe, knowledgeable & reassuring staff + great service. I can’t wait to be back down to go again!! 😁😁 I’d definitely be a regular if I was local. (FYI, I’m celiac and extremely sensitive to cross contamination)

Really loved this place! As others have said, our server was super kind, patient, and knowledgeable. There are so many GF options because they only put GF food in their fryer. So I had a “fish fry” sandwich with broccoli and sweet potato fries. Delicious! Unfortunately, they were out of the vegan rice bowl today, and the black beans are premixed with other ingredients, so be careful if you lean vegan and have food allergies. The place is not particularly eye-catching from the outside, but service and menu selections are really great!

This place is absolutely amazing. My server was extremely knowledgeable and patient with me as I have to ask about cross contamination as I am a very sensitive celiac. My boyfriend and I got the appetizer sampler with wings, motz sticks & fried pickles. 100/10 rating and they have the best ranch I’ve ever had!!! I also had a quesadilla and he had a wrap and they were both delicious. We will be back very soon for more wings!!

Excellent food. Most everything can be made gluten free. Fryer is gluten free. One of the owners came out with one of the ingredients they used for us to double-check. Had no problem checking as many ingredients to make sure there was no issues as companion is gluten, rice, oats free. Had gluten free items that weren’t the norm (GF bread that wasn’t made with rice-flour)

This is the best GF restaurant we have found in a 60 mile radius from where we live in Athol, NY! They are dedicated gluten free and very knowledgeable and care is always taken to make certain everyone with a sensitivity to celiac is served safely! They specialize in fried seafood and it is spectacular! The Buffalo Shrimp is the best! Their menu is extensive and all but 2 items can be made gluten free. There are specials everyday during the week! We try to get to the Galley at least twice a month ( it is a trip for us) and it is always worth it! It is a little known gem ( only been in business since 2021) The staff has always been wonderful and I hope to see the word go out about this great little place! We go mostly for the seafood, but they have so many great gf options including quesadillas, burgers, soups, and appetizers you can never get gf ( mozzarella sticks!!)

I love this place! I've been twice now, and pretty much everything on the menu is marked gluten free or can be made gluten free. And some of it is incredibly delicious. I've had the fried mozzarella, wings (which are a favorite with my family), fried shrimp, fish tacos, and fish and chips. They have a gluten free fryer and service is amazing.

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE DINING EXPERIENCE I’VE EVER HAD!
The most options I’ve ever had while dining out. The fryer is completely gluten free. They carry GF wraps, taco shells, buns, and bread. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Definitely a must try. Hands down better than anything you’d get in downtown Saratoga and for half the price.

Everything on the menu is gluten free or can safely be made gluten free! All fried foods are made with gluten free batter, so no need to worry about a shared fryer.
The owners are very welcoming and very knowledgeable about gluten free foods & safety protocols. I would not hesitate to recommend The Galley to anyone, especially those who need to eat gluten free. I will definitely be back!

My husband and I are both gluten free. I have celiacs disease and am very sensitive. We loved it here and the staff was happy to cater to all of our needs. The food was great and almost everything is naturally gluten free so it’s low risk as far as cross contamination. The fried food is so good. It was so nice to go somewhere and have a large selection to choose from! We were very indecisive because we are not used to having more than 1-2 options at restaurants!

I just moved to the area and found The Galley. Both of the owners are very kind and knowledgeable. The entire menu is GF or can be made GF and everything is fried in a dedicated GF fryer. I’ve tried 4 different menu items so far and have not had a single reaction! Definitely a must try.

Excellent food, knowledgeable staff and fantastic with food allergens - I’m so happy I stopped in here while I was in the area! I had a hamburger, salad and French fries. All of it was very good and the French fries were fabulous! Best of all, I felt very confident that my food would be safe for me here and I felt great after. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope to be able to go there again myself sometime soon!

Went in for the first time today and had a quesadilla for the first time in ten years. It was so good! The bartender told me they have two dedicated GF fryers, the menu is full of GF items, and the food is good! Great pub fare, with live music on the weekends. Definitely recommend.
