Gluten-Free at LandShark Bar & Grill

This place was awesome!! My 3 y/o son has Celiac disease and i had read some of the reviews on here and it sounded pretty good. They had a gluten buns do my son was able to get a cheeseburger. I got fish tacos on corn tortillas…. Service was awesome and knowledgeable. They had a separate fryer for the fries. Will be coming back here when we come back to the beach again!

We tried the Taco Nachos since others had tried and liked them. They were great! Perfect light dinner for two of us. They had a separate gluten free menu with several options.

Great server and separate GF menu. Menu shared what was safe and what to leave off. My wife and I split a side salad and loaded nachos. All sallad dressings are GF. Receipt came marked what was GF and not.

They have a dedicated allergen fryer. It happened to have been contaminated shortly before I visited, so I wasn’t able to enjoy the fries this visit, but hopefully they are figuring that out to get it back to the way it’s supposed to operate for future visitors. Burger was good; typical GF bun, a little dry, but nice to have a burger with a bun regardless.

Aweful......They did not know what celiac was or gluten....Then when I asked to speak with Manager. The hostess rudely said to me me that "The manager is to busy to be bothered with this". That is inexcusable! This Hostess made me feel like there was no such thing as gluten or Celiac and I was making it all up! Avoid this place at all costs. As they definitely do not care about allergies!

They did have a gluten free menu! I wasn’t able to order French fries due to them only having fries in stock that came from a different supplier and stating they weren’t safe. Server seemed knowledgeable. Ordered nachos and they were delicious. Did not get sick. Good experience!

The menu is limited to begin with but they can easily accommodate gluten free including buns for the sandwiches/burgers, corn tortillas for tacos and more. They have a designated fryer for gluten free items and were able to make me some fries with my burger. The bun was really good and I did not get sick. Great drinks and an amazing view as well. I would definitely go back.

Had the Caribbean burger on a gluten free bun, my celiac wife had a grilled chicken sandwich also on a gluten free bun. We had the loaded fries and spinach artichoke dip as appetizers. We were warned that the chips and fries were in a shared fryer, so watch out for that if you’re more sensitive. My gluten free bun held up well to the burger, but my wife’s disintegrated under her sandwich. The food itself was average, nothing special but not bad.

Do not recommend. They have a gluten free menu but the server told me that the kitchen had no idea what was and wasn’t gluten free and refused to confirm that the cheese on the nachos was a gluten free cheese sauce. I got sick.

Been here 3 times. 2 out of 3 was great. This time my celiac husband had the fish tacos on corn tortillas, with chips and salsa. My 2 celiac kids had the burgers. Unfortunately they do not have a dedicated fryer so they only get chips and salsa with their burgers but the gluten free buns are amazing. There were not really other options but what we had was great!! The host & waiter was very knowledgeable about celiacs and my 3 celiacs did NOT get sick. After this being the 3rd time I have decided that it is all about getting the right watier/ waitress that is knowledgeable because the food is well worth it.

No gf menu, but our server was very helpful and knew what was safe. Basically any salad can be made to be gf and and any burger can be served with a gf bun. I went with the landshark burger and it reminded me of what I remember a Big Mac tasted like. The gf bun was okay, chewy and hard to cut through. I was told the fries were safe and even though they were on my plate I wasn’t brave enough to try. The burger did not make me sick, and the bun was the only modification we made. I would eat here again.

The meal itself was great but where I had issues was with the sides. When I first got to the restaurant I asked the waitress about gluten free, she said everything that wasn’t breaded could be made gluten free and they had a separate fryer. Then after we ordered fries for an appetizer we were told the fries were not gluten free. If you have a pretty severe sensitivity like me I would urge you to be very careful when going here. Stick to a gluten free sandwich or salad at this restaurant.

Nice waitress. This restaurant can make your food gluten free by switching chips and buns but gluten free allergies are more than that! She didn’t say which things were safer or suggest I take off any ingredients. I was skeptical of how this would work out by the conversation with her. I hurt all night.

I ordered a burger with a gluten free bun with fries on the side. Our waitress told us that the fries are fried in separate frier, so I was willing to try despite previous reviews. The food was great! And the outdoor seating was also amazing. It didn’t seem like there were too many options other than burger but I was fine with that. Nothing was marked on menu, had to ask waitress.

Would definitely recommend!

Limited GF options but had a great time here! I’ll admit I had low expectations but staff was actually super knowledgeable of what could be gluten free. They have gluten free buns and a dedicated gluten free fryer so I could eat French fries, yay!! Had fun here, great view, would recommend.

Customer service was great. Asked for gluten free menu and waiter brought regular menu and told us what was gf or not. We ordered bacon and cheese fries from appetizers, which waiter said was gf. They were delicious. Fries are cooked in dedicated fryer. I ordered gf burger which came with a gf bun. As the bun fell apart I knew I had a gf bun. Burger was so so. I've had worse, I've had a lot better. My husband had non gf burger and said it was good. Then, 30 min after eating I was sick to my stomach and couldn't get to a bathroom fast enough. Then hour later husband said his stomach hurt. I don't think gluten was the issue. I think undercooked meat was issue since non of the kids got sick. They had hotdogs (not gf) and fries (gf).

We were told when we checked in that there was a gf menu. The waitress went to get a GF menu and came to tell us that the only things that were gf were a salad or burger. Did not know if French fries were gf so we opted for just the burger but do not have confidence that it was cooked with caution.

First time eating at Landshark. I was skiddish at first due to reviews, but I double check and question anyway. I am so glad we ate there. We were provided a well experienced server, and she immediately told me what was GF and what could be manipulated into being GF. My husband (who is not GF) and I ordered the Caribbean burger, house salad, peal and eat shrimp, and bacon/cheese fries and split it all. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely eat here again!

Had fries & shrimp, and within half hour it hit me hard. Asked ahead of time what was available for Gf. Did not have much. As friendly as staff was I wouldn't chance it again.

Had the salmon salad. There’s no gluten free menu but the waiter was very helpful helping me choose what I could have. The salad was delicious!

This is always our go to place! Gluten free buns for the burgers and their wings are amazingly good.

Our waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, and they have a dedicated fryer for fries and chips. She told me the artichoke dip had flour in it and knew what drinks were gf as well. They have gluten free buns. I was going to order the Caribbean chicken salad and she told me she could do it gf but there would be no pecans and the chicken would not be marinated. So that was helpful to know.

Wonderful dinner tonight. The server was well acquainted with Celiac Disease. Our party had nachos, chicken Caesar and Philly Cheese steak on a GF bun. Dedicated fryer for the fries and social distancing for the tables.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went last night for dinner as prior reviews mentioned a dedicated fryer. The waitress checked for us and said everything is fried in the same fryer. She said the only GF option would be a burger with a GF bun. I opted for the safer option of the peel and eat shrimp. It was ok, but left hungry. Service was very slow.

Staff was friendly and did not mind answering questions. Could answer questions about CC protocols. I had the hamburger on GF bun and French fries are in dedicated fryer. Would come back for sure!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waiter was familiar with GF needs. They have a GF bun for sandwiches and a dedicated separate fryer for FF. Food was good for a beach bar. Would go here again. Did not get sick

We had a great meal. I had a burger on a GF bun and fries. They have a safe frier. The waitress was very nice about double checking on everything for me

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the burger with no bun. Fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer. Food was good and there was a good selection of tropical drinks.

Good options, dedicated fryer. Nachos are gf and they were delicious! They have gf buns for burgers. Waitress was really nice and helpful. I would go back!

Very friendly staff, Jade was awesome! They have amazing GF buns for their burgers and a dedicated frier for the fries so that are GF as well. Super yummy and would highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Right on the beach, they brought in their own sand, there is a hammock, a tiki bar, and several bar games. Decor is typical land shark but still clean and cute. Food options were bar related but the desiccated fryer meant I could get chips and fries! My food was really great but I didn’t feel the best after. I didn’t get fully sick so it could have been minor cross contamination or just my own mess up. If you want a nice meal on the beach it’s definitely worth checking out but probably when they’re less busy to ensure you’re safe.

Hostess and waiter seemed informed. Very limited GF selections. Ordered burger on gf bun and traditional fries. Hostess informed me that lattice fries are not gf, but traditional fries are. She assured me they had a separate fryer for fries. My burger was an overdone frozen patty and a GF bun so microwaved it was shriveled and tough. Fries were very tasty. But the next day I had symptoms of a slight CC. which made me wonder if the non gf lattice fries were fried in the same oil as the gf traditional fries? I should have asked better questions. So be cautious

The staff were wonderful - manager came out to clear up confusion and the food was nice.

Dedicated fried. Staff knowledgeable about Celiac.
