Gluten Free at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville

Good experience, items gluten free are clearly marked on food menu. Would be nice to have marked gluten free drinks but ingredients are listed which makes it a little easier. Good burgers and fries. Separate fryer. Good place to go for a burger and margarita. Friendly bar staff.

This is my 2nd time and I was disappointed in the food. In all fairness, it was during the pandemic; however the quality of the food was not like what we have had here before.

Portion size is good.

Went to eat with in laws who are not gluten free. They ordered an appetizer and it just so happened that I could have it too! :). My meal was really good as well! Very happy experience!

My sons are both celiac. The wait staff was very helpful. The manager even came out voluntarily to ask our needs and make sure we were safe. They understood exactly what we needed. Food was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf hamburger and fries. Gf chips and salsa. Waitress was knowledgeable. Food is just meh.

GF menu. Took great care of us.

Had a burger, came with gf bun...no concerns, felt great after!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The server was very knowledgeable and took our medical allergy orders first. The manager brought out the meals. It was very good and my girls did not get sick! They had burgers on gluten free buns with fries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome atmosphere and awesome food! I had no issues!

They are NOT Celiac safe. Do not trust the. I am sick as a dog. I was told they have a specified fryer. And i was safe to order FF or Onion Rings. As i bit into an Onion ring, I thought about the breading. I spit it out and asked the waitress wheter the breading was GF. To my panic I was told Sorry No! TO LATE NOW. I will now spend the rest of my time in Vegas sick. I was offered the right to fill out a report and they wod not charge me for my meal.

Great for GF options, just like every other location. Nachos are a must, and the NY strip was great too. Tried the Perfect margarita which was even better than my usual Who's To Blame

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They know gluten free! They have special chips, fries in a dedicated fryer and Udi’s buns. Our server let us know how serious they take gluten issues and celiac. Loved our meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They offer gluten free buns, but when my burger came out it was on a regular bun --- glad I asked if it was gluten free. Had to send it back and wait for a new one. Also... no dedicated fryers at the Las Vegas location so salad was the only side option. Waiter made me feel like a burden, will not return

Celiac friendly?

No

Fun atmosphere and great food. Not as many GF options as we hoped, but our son thoroughly enjoyed his grilled fish and rice. Would eat here again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

DONT USE THE STRAWS. apparently some of the paper straws contain gluten. Decent selection food wise and our waiter was very knowledgeable. He made sure to alert the kitchen of my allergy, and a manager took the time to come to the table to make sure my food was perfect and allergen free.

Had the impossible burger on a gluten free bun and sweet potato fries. Waiter was super friendly and confirmed it was a separate fryer! Expensive but worth it! Great view and great service!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was helpful, and I had a lovely burger with gf bun

Had a wonderful meal here. Enjoyed a delicious burger on a great gluten free bun. Did have a small stomach ache a few hours later. Unsure if it was related to the meal or not.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A good number of clearly-marked GF items on the menu. I really enjoyed the GF burger and fries! It was a pleasant surprise!

Vary few GF options, no dedicated fryers

Celiac friendly?

No

Good food. Dedicated fryer and informed waiter. Had the grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, Top Shelf margarita and gf brownie sundae. Pricey, but was good and no reaction.

Great burger and margarita! I am severe celiac and had no reaction!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Margaritaville is always an easy place for me to eat. They always have a dedicated fryer and gluten free buns as well as a gluten free menu. (Be sure to always double check on the fryer) I've eaten at the Las Vegas, Cancun, Cozumel and Nashville locations and they have always been accomodating to celiacs !! Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff double checked everything for me. I would recommend following what the menu says NOT online because some of their items they listed on the website were not GF at the restaurant.

I ended up getting the tortilla soup with a side of rice and beans. A+ on soup, C+ on the sides. Margarita was great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ask for Mary B she will hook you up. I always love this place!!!!! Wow amazing. The chef cane out to explain they change gloves, prep my stuff with new cutting board and knives and that the fries were in a dedicated fryer. He assured me they take this seriously and as I celiac I did not have to worry. No worries here and amazing food especially the fries!!!!

Ps if you stay at the margaritaville hotel you can get GF room service from this restaurant. Woo hoo

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love their food! Especially the nachos. And our waitress was very knowledgeable.

I think that this is a great choice if you only have celiacs and no other dietary restrictions. But the food seems a bit high in price for not being that great. Someone else in my party got the filet mignon which was $28 and he finished it in two bites so I say stay away from that at least since you will still be very hungry. But the volcano nachos were gigantic so if you can eat chili I can see those being worth it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the ultimate Burger with fries. It was very delicious and I didn’t get sick! :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free Volcano nachos...enough to feed my family of four! Staff made sure to repeat and ensure safety “gluten free nachos” repeatedly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Of course I had to a have cheeseburger in paradise.....on a gluten free bun that was outstanding....and I was in gluten free heaven with a designated fryer for the fries. Awesome meal and knowledgeable staff. Perfect place for celiac people to go.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ate the gluten free nachos without the queso (not GF). Nima tested safe. Sensitive celiac and no reaction. Angry Orchard also.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu! I had the rancho deluxe burger with a gluten free bun and French fries! I made sure fries are in a designated fryer!!! No issues and staff was knowledgeable!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a pretty good sized gf selection. I had a turkey burger with a gf bun, I have Crohn’s so no beef. It was the best turkey burger I think I’ve ever had. Bun wasn’t too bad either. Started to come apart a little but nothing terrible and I was able to eat the whole think! Staff was also knowledge of what sides were gf.

I had a delicious cheese burger with sweet potato fries. The chef came by the table when the food was ready and spoke with us. I didn’t get sick or have any rashes yet so they did a good job!

Went in the off season, so not busy...with that said I had a cheeseburger on gf bun and fries (from the dedicated fryer). Both were very good. Not a lot of fries. Server must have been new as they asked a more knowledgeable server for assistance but I was glad for the extra assurance! Did not get sick, burger was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Clearly marked menu. Dedicated fryer. Delicious food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A lot of GF options. Burgers served with GF bred and they have dedicated space to prepare the gf food. It was delicious.

They have a separate gluten free menu. I ordered the pork ribs and asked to change the sides to broccoli and some black beans. (These were sides to other gf options and I was tired of fries by the 3rd day of eating at Universal) Beans were great! Broccoli had zero seasoning, so I added salt. Ribs were your restaurant quality St. Louis ribs, nothing that would blow your mind, but a good switch up compared to other meals. Sauce was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We visited Margaritaville twice while in Nashville. The first experience was ok, didn’t get sick. The second experience was PHENOMENAL! It was a crazy busy Saturday night and we were sitting in the bar. Our waitress took such great care to make sure my food was correct. I thanked her for this and she made such a sweet comment about nothing bad happening on her watch!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband ordered a GF bun for his burger - mine was regular. They brought both burgers on GF buns. His was grilled/burnt and mine was cold. The cheese wasn’t melted and lettuce & tomatoes were the only dressing. Horrible food!

One choice of starter.... guac and chips. That was nice nice. Two choices of main course. I got the salmon and rice and black beans. The rice was microwave rice standard and the salmon must have been cooked for an hour. Completely dry and practically tasteless. So little choice and not good quality food at all.

The staff was knowledgeable- the food was “good”

Excellent meal; best I've had for the entire week we've been in Key West! The service was great. The hostess, when I asked for a gluten free menu, asked if it was for an allergy. I told her yes and she immediately said she would have the chef come and speak with me. Not only did he come straight over to the table, but he has a wife with severe food allergies, so he's very knowledgable and answered all of my questions. He personally took my order and delivered my food! What a treat! I will definitely eat here again and feel comfortable doing so.

We sat at the bar outside and the server was knowledgeable about celiac and recommended what drinks were GF. My husband had no reaction to the drinks or GF nachos. A little pricey but good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu lists Gluten Free selections and also calories. Server was knowledgeable and confidently stated that the French Fries were GF and prepared in a dedicated fryer. I had “Cheeseburger in Paradise” with GF bun and fries. Burger was good (GF bun was weakest part, but sadly they always are) and I really enjoyed the fries (awfully rare to be able to enjoy safely when dining). Margaritas were excellent. Very nice outdoor dining area for view of Chicago skyline, boats, and people watching. Nice place to eat or drink at Navy Pier.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Don’t bother! GF buns disintegrate as soon as you pick up the burger. Food expensive for what you get. French Fries came out cold 🙄

Had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken and felt great after.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Has fish sandwich on a GF bun and our server stated that the fries were now 100% gluten free. They were exceptionally delicious. The bun didn’t fall apart and they made me plain baked fish, not blackened or fried.

Our server was very helpful, the manager came out to officially take our order and deliver our food, and we had no gluten issues during our visit. My boyfriend is celiac and was able to enjoy his meal without incident. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food (both gf and non-gf) and we also had some amazing drinks!
