I am usually apprehensive about heading out to a restaurant for a gluten free dinner without ample feedback. We tried The Green Turtle because of its convenient location and were pleasantly surprised. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful to all diners. The waitress assured us that she would make sure our daughter had a safe experience and she followed through. The BEST part is that they had a GF bun for the burger! My daughter enjoyed her meal and the family friendly atmosphere. We will definitely visit here again! I am giving it 5 stars for the service and accommodations, the manager recently told me they have a dedicated dryer for French fries.

I have only eaten here once since my celiac diagnosis and it was also the last time I will eat there. I asked for the GF menu, told the waiter if have celiacs, confirmed he marked my order as GF, and confirmed when he brought out my food it was GF (he stated he asked the cook to confirm before he brought it out).

The GF bun on my burger was huge and dry so I didn't eat much of it. The spinach artichoke dip was good but now I know it should have been served with celery and not chips, I think this is where I was contaminated.

For an $80 meal (including my husband's food) I was expecting better options and for the cook to serve the meal GF like it was ordered instead of giving me the chips that would be served with a regular order. Not sure if the waiter don't tell them or they just didn't care but I was sick for a week and won't be back.
