Excellent GF restaurant!!! Chicken tenders were quite impressive! Check on GF fries though when you go because they didn’t have them in stock when we went though they usually do!

I was here today and asked the staff quite direct questions. As of now, May 2022, they do not have a dedicated fryer for anything that is gluten-free! Anything that is fried here contains gluten! I asked them directly and they directly confirmed they do not have a dedicated fryer or any other type of protocol to keep gluten separate

Great food! Most everything is GF! Note, my husband ordered the shrimp and grits which was indicated on the menu as GF and it came with a piece of non-GF bread on top of it. Next time, we will request no bread. But best shrimp and grits we have ever had!

Won’t come back. The wait staff is incompetent and told us that we cause too much work for them. Seriously, they told us that. The menu has listed GF products, but there’s really no way to tell if it actually if it is. The staff seemed confused what was what, how it was prepared, shared friers, etc. stay away.

I was so excited to finally find a place that has gluten free fried appetizers. Everything on the menu can be made gluten-free. I had the alligator bites for an appetizer. I had the fried green tomato burger with fries. It was delicious. It was also cool to be able to try a bite of red beans and rice my daughter had. It was really delicious as well.

This was THE worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant service was slow it took 45min- hr before our food came out and it wasn't even crowded. Food was terrible! Prices were ridiculous I've never had dry fried fish( how do you dry fried fish thats cooked in grease???) also the fried shrimp was also dry. The hamburgers looked like they came from McDonald's and they were dry,Chopped barbeque was dry we ended up having more leftover than we ate and everyone was still hungry.Drinks were water down. BUT the French fries were good .

We attempted to eat here around the end of May 2021 and it had changed owners and name to Lucille’s Kitchen. The server let us know that it was not safe at all for a celiac to eat there and could not recommend anything that was safely GF. I appreciated the honesty over possibly being sick and miserable. We left and ate at Chick-fil-A.

We got here and it has changed the name to Lucille’s Kitchen and under new management. Don’t go here! We waited over an hour for our food. Burgers, chicken tenders and Caesar salad. The salad came out with croutons, the gf buns were totally frozen, the chicken tenders and fries were cold, dry and almost inedible. Terrible experience!!!

Amazing for GF!! We got all the fried food we could because we rarely get safe GF fries food! The shrimp and fried pickles were our favorite but everything was so delicious!! My only complaint is this place is SO hard to find! We drove around for 30 min trying to find it. Google was not helpful and kept messing us up. Thankfully it was so good it was worth the effort to get there!

Great lunch here for our Celiac kids! Delicious chicken tenders and fries. Our waitress said the only gluten containing items at the restaurant are the croutons, mac n’ cheese, and buns. She said the owner has celiac. Seating right on the water.

The atmosphere was great and the food was wonderful! I had the chicken tenders and fries. What a treat it was to eat breaded chicken and fries that were actually gluten free! I’m the only gluten free eater in my family but all six of us loved our food. I tried a bite of the brisket and it was fantastic. This will definitely be a go-to restaurant whenever my family vacations in Destin!

Dedicated fryer. All fried foods are fried in rice flour so no possible cross contamination. The owner and his daughter are celiac. So wonderful to eat somewhere where people get it!

Almost everything was gf.

Great service! We’ll definitely go back.

Would say 60% if the menu is or can be gluten free. My wife and I ordered the gator bites (fried), shrimp and grits and the deep fried shrimp with fries. Everything was delicious. The wife even said the was easily the best fried shrimp she’s had. I had no problems after. Wish there were more restaurants like this around the U.S.

The menu is all GF and has a lot of selections. I was told that the owner has Celiac, so they get it. I was so impressed with the place, we had dinner there 2 nights in a row. It was the first time in 7+ years that I could have batter deep fried shrimp with fries! It was very good! My wife who is not Celiac like me loved the shrimp and coleslaw also. No reactions at all. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be going back when we’re in the area again.

This was my favorite place in Destin. I loved the area it was in, Baytown Wharf. Everything is gluten free and no one would ever know it isn’t the “real” version. I had red snapper and smoked Gouda grits and they were fantastic. Hubs had fried and popcorn shrimp and fries, daughter had chicken fingers and fries and they both loved it. We ate there twice in 2 days it was that good.

Great selection! All fried foods are battered in rice flour. GET THE BREAD PUDDING!! Our server was awesome! I went with the fish and sweet potato fries basket. Gouda grits as an appetizer were delicious! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that there were chicken pieces mixed in with my fish. Would still go again.

LOVED! Almost everything on their menu is gluten free including all the fried foods! The chef came out and talked with me and told me they only use rice flour and that the owner actually has some gluten issues. I haven’t had fried pickles or fish since I was diagnosed with celiacs disease which has been 7 years. The food literally did not disappoint, it was so good and I couldn’t even tell it was GF. I highly recommend this place. A little on the pricey side for the food you’re ordering but again, totally worth it!

I really wish I could have given this place a good review. They have tons of gluten free options including all of their fried food which is amazing but my experience was awful. I ordered chicken tacos and specified many times that I had a gluten allergy (celiac). They were very reassuring about how many GF options they have and how seriously they take it so I was very excited about my meal. My tacos came out on a flour tortilla and I immediately said something. The waiter proceeded to tell me “those are the gluten free flour tortillas! Don’t worry, they are gluten free I promise!” So I took a couple of bites and my heart sank as the manager comes running over and informs me that no, those are regular flour tortillas, definitely not GF. I am on vacation with family and had to deal with everyone feeling sorry for me, asking details about how I will react, when, for how long, etc. and the lunch and entire day being ruined. They brought me new tacos but put it on the same plate and then argued with my husband about it. I am now incredibly sick and it was a very dramatic scene especially because I am pregnant and already having trouble with my stomach. If they had just done the right tortilla and had knowledgeable wait staff, this would be a 5 star review.

Ok this place is solid. I don’t have Gluten issues but my son and wife do. Normally when we go on vacation myself and the other three kids have settle while my wife eats another salad. This place rocks and man they were happy to eat some great food. Really don’t pass this place up. Worth the drive! I had the shrimp and grits and they were the best ever.

So great to see him smile when he could finally eat the popcorn shrimp and fries!! Best sweet potato fries, fried pickles and grits that I’ve ever had! Everything fried here is gluten free! Very very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I can not say enough good things about this experience. Even my super picky mother in law liked it.

We had a great lunch! All fried food is gluten free. Had the TNT popcorn shrimp (like bang bang shrimp), a steamed snow crab basket to share (with shrimp, red potatoes, corn on the cob, etc), a wedge salad and our 6 year old had the kids popcorn shrimp with fries. Lots of food on each plate and very good! Our whole meal was gluten free and was delicious!! Thank you for providing awesome gluten free food that is just like normal food and not just a salad!

Great place for gluten free and celiac people! The staff is knowledgeable, if they are unsure about anything they are very will to ask. We had the fried pickles, which were great. I had the blackened shrimp and cheese grits. I was very pleased with my whole meal, some of the best GF grits I have ever had! I also did not have a reaction to any of the food that I ate. Would highly recommend! Also on the main menu the gluten free items are labeled with a GF by the food item.

The service was awfully slow and the management was awful. However, that being said, hey have SO MANY gluten free items on their menu. It’s been so long since I’ve had battered foods. Being from the south, that’s been tough. I used to love fried chicken. I got to try chicken fingers and shrimp tonight without reaction bc of the flour they used. Would recommend trying the food, but not the service.
