Was so nice to be able to have a lobster roll Gluten free bun was grilled and buttery. Yum!

I don’t know why Boston celiacs keep ranking these places highly when they won’t keep basic guidelines for cross contamination.

People: if they won’t guarantee no cross contamination or won’t use a separate space and utensils, it is NOT celiac friendly. Stop ranking these places and risking other people’s health.

Celiac friendly?

No

I am very sensitive celiac. Went to Luke's and have not had any reaction 24 hours later. Upon ordering they asked about preference or allergy. When I said allergy, they told me it would be a couple extra minutes as they get a new cutting board, knife and utensils. The lobster roll, clam chowder and natural sodas are awesome!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Soooooo good! Technically they say “gluten friendly” which usually would make me nervous, but when I said I had celiac they made sure to scrub the grill and change all gloves/utensils to avoid contamination and I didn’t get sick. Extremely friendly staff and delicious lobster rolls. Can’t wait to come back here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went today and they did not have the GF buns. Only options were soup so we opted to go elsewhere.

Good lobster roll and safe for celiacs. Honestly not worth the $20, and Atlantic Grill has a better lobster roll that costs less.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Let me see your lobster roll!! I had a lobster roll on one of the best GF buns I’ve ever had. The staff was phenomenal and caring. The soups are GF too. I can’t wait to come back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Said they have gluten free rolls, but they only have one griddle that they just “wipe down”. Didn’t feel safe enough, so didn’t end up eating here

Fantastic! GF Lobster roll with truffle oil is amazing! They changed gloves and prep mats to make my sandwich too so I feel safe.

Staff are awesome! I’ve been to another location and it was delish! Very good about preventing cross contamination. Changed gloves, sanitized space, brought out separate utensils.

Amazing GF Lobster Rolls. Ask to clean grill

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything on the menu can be GF, and is prepared in a separate area to prevent cross contamination. The staff is very knowledgeable. Some of the best GF bread I’ve ever had!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff are knowledgeable and asked if we had a gluten allergy. Bread is one of the best gluten free rolls that I’ve had. Definitely recommend. Gluten free rolls do cost an extra $2, however

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Mouthwatering delicious!! You have to try this place out. And they are extremely knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination. If they are not sure they bring you the list.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here about once a month and I’ve been sick. When your a gf roll, the cashier will ask if gf is a preference or allergy. When you say “allergy” they get a new cutting board, knife, and change gloves. Also the gf rolls are so good that once I thought I was served a gluten roll by mistake. I wasn’t.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My first lobster roll! Really delicious. GF bread was so buttery and good. Lobster was very fresh. Wish it was bigger though- pricey for a small sandwich. Staff ask if you have an allergy or if it’s a preference, then change gloves and wipe down bread toaster before preparing your roll.

Chowder and lobster bisque are both gf. Any of the rolls can be made gf. They have wonderful gf bread and root beer!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Underwhelming experience. Went on a Saturday and asked about GF rolls, was told "oh, we'll have those on Monday." Opted for the option to put the seafood meat on a bed of lettuce but then you don't get any of the butter and seasoning that add to the flavor.

Everything can be made gluten free. They have a separate station and they will change their gloves and wash their hands before preparing food at that station. Ate here and loved it and didn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I felt very comfortable eating here because the staff was so knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. Food was outstanding!!!

Was so excited to eat my first GF lobster roll! And it was delicious!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So good! Knowledgeable staff. GF bread was very obviously gluten free. Would eat here again and again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Had the shrimp sandwich with clam chowder-both were very good. GF sandwich roll was great!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the lobster roll and poppyseed slaw...both were delicious. They tell you the roll is prepared on a separate table and grill, but of course there’s always the risk of cross contamination. Understandable for any establishment. Nice treat to be able to have a grilled lobster roll rather than lobster over greens.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ate here for lunch and had the trio. Also the fries were safe, which I loved! Really delicious and didn’t get sick. GF roll for the lobster, crab and shrimp roll. Plenty of food and shared with hubby. Big chunks of lobster. First lobster roll since diagnosis. Would highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

really helpful staff. had GF buns which were delicious, manager brought food personally and checked in several times to see how I was doing.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food here was delicious! The staff were really nice, too. Note, if you’re really sensitive, the GF buns are cooked on the same grill as the glutinous ones, but if you ask they will keep yours off the grill. Completely recommended!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Walked in the snow today to get a GF lobster roll and they were out of GF buns :-(. So I got the clam chowder, and while it was ok and had a decent amount of clam pieces, it wasn't worth $10. The potatoes were a little undercooked and the soup base wasn't very creamy. Wouldn't get the soup again for that price, but wish I could have tried a lobster roll!!

And they put regular oyster crackers in my bag after we had just confirmed that the soup was truly gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent lobster roll. Staff very conscientious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sadly when we came here in July the staff was not very nice. I asked for gluten free bread with the cashier, but 10 minutes later was told by a man in the kitchen there wasn't any that day. We got cold lobster, crab and shrimp and some soup. Not really worth the walk there or the money spent.

The gf bun was delicious and the lobster sweet and tender. The only thing that could have made this meal better would be a gf beer.

Found this place through the FMGF app and was very please. It looks kind of sketch from the outside, but once you walk down the step into this converted basement, you will find excellent lobster rolls. This version of the lobster roll come with liquid butter painted on the outside of the roll with a small amount of mayonnaise underneath of good portion of lobster. They have gluten free buns and they clam chowder and lobster corn soup are also gluten free. They are very upfront and accommodating for all allergies and it was a pleasure returning for another lobster roll and lobster soup. Excellent. The prices are a little high for lunch $26 for the lobster combo, but worth it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free bread on the lobster roll and wonderful gluten free clam chowder!! The staff was great and took precautions in the prep of my food. Great experience!

Good food, gluten free buns available, nice staff

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had trio and all gluten free. Good stuff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great lobster roll, the roll was great and the lobster was even better. Top it off with the lobster corn chowder and I’m pretty sure I’m a few steps from heaven.

Food is average and very expensive. Gluten free options in both bun and soup. $55 for two lunches felt extreme to us.

SO good!! They have GF rolls and a dedicated fryer so you can have the traditional fare without the gluten!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious gluten free roll!! I cant wait to eat another before the end of my trip to Boston.

Maybe it was my lucky day. They had GF bread and lobster roll was super. Never thought I would ever find a GF one. They wore gloves and wiped down bread toaster.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was completely knowledgeable - changed out gloves and cleaned the grill and offered gluten free lobster/crab rolls. Very friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing!!!!! Their chowder is gluten free (the person who makes it has a daughter with celiac). The lobster roll was perfect. The bread was some of the best I’ve had! The staff was very aware of celiac and cross contamination, they wiped everything down before making my food and they changed their gloves. Everything was clearly labeled. They say they can’t guarantee there won’t be CC but they take all the necessary steps and I didn’t get sick :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, nearly everything is either GF or can be.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten free buns are delicious! Although they can’t completely account for cross contamination, they were knowledgeable of what to do to limit the risk as much as possible. They also have a lot of dairy free options

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a separate station for the gluten free buns. Can't guarantee no cross-contamination, but they knew what they were talking about and tried their best. Didn't get sick, and the gluten free roll was yummy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not interested in GF customers. GF bread is out for weeks at a time. Food is good and no CC just hard to support business that does not. Are about GF customers.

The menu is very clear on which items can be made gluten free or dairy free. I was able to get a GF Lobster Roll with a GF bun. The GF bun was the best I have ever had.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely delicious!!! Gluten free bread available for lobster rolls

The clam chowder is delicious!
