Gluten-Free at Gators Dockside

The waitress was very helpful and seemed knowledgeable about GF items. The service was great. My family enjoyed their meals. I did get Ill after eating my salad before I left the restaurant. I’m not sure what item may have been CC or contained gluten. The salad was one of the best I’ve had and I was super disappointed that it wasn’t a safe option.

We loved it so much, we went back a second time when on vacation in the area. I had the GF Chicken Club sandwich, served on an Udi's bun. It tasted amazing! It was the most real tasting chicken breast I have ever had at a restaurant. Fries are not GF. I don't think the servers know much about gluten, because one of them asked if I wanted gravy on my mashed potatoes. The other one asked if I wanted my chicken grilled or fried. We are not celiac in my family, so that wasn't a concern for us. But a person with celiac will want to double check things. But the food was so so good. They have outdoor dining on the water. Very pretty.

Waiter told me nothing was safe and everything was cross contaminated. Had a soda while my friends ate and drank beer. Tables and utensils all dirty and sticky.

They offered me a bowl of plain lettuce to eat as “salad”. I declined.

Horrible service. After a three hour wait my daughter ordered from their gluten free menu . Spicy chicken and roasted corn. She became terribly sick and glutened.

Gators dockside in a such an amazing location. The food is great. It is pet and child friendly. The staff is fast and attentive. The bartenders are great. Most people over look the three bars.

The staff was not knowledgeable at all. The food was awful, there were very few choices.

I’ve had the cheeseburger with the fried egg on several occasions, and it is my go-to burger here in Lake City. I don’t think the fries are safe (shared fryer) so I get the coleslaw and love it.

Gluten free menu still had menu items that aren't gf. No dedicated fryer. I went with a salad, just to play it safe. It was ok, but was hoping for a lot more.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free menu with good options. However, did not have GF buns as advertised by their corporate website.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wings are on gluten free menu but are fried in same fryer as everything else. Even the grilled are in the fryer first. Not celiac friendly and staff does not understand.

Celiac friendly?

No

Definitely not Celiac friendly. Waiter was clueless. Was too scared to eat anything.

Limited menu, but the manager came out and specifically checked on me and my order before it came out. He gave me more info on the way that the food was prepared. I'm thankful for him making sure that I was taken care of.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Called ahead and asked if had gluten free menu. I was told - Yes. Upon entering- asked for gluten free menu. They couldn't find it and said server will help. The sever said they don't have GF menu and was very lax and said pick something and I'll ask the back. We were visiting a friend for her birthday so didn't want to make big deal. Ordered grilled wings and house salad. BTW- nachos are wheat flour. So no to those also. I will not be eating here again.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was very good, server stated they do not cross contaminate the wings when cooking and I had no issues at all! We had buffalo wings and loaded nachos. I will be back!

Dedicated gluten free menu just added.
