Duke's Seafood

I have a severe gluten intolerance and have eaten here many times over the past seven-plus years. My daughters, who also have gluten issues, one with celiac, have eaten here as well with no problems. Duke’s has a separate GF menu and the staff is knowledgeable about gluten concerns and takes them seriously. The food is consistently excellent and the GF carrot cake is amazing!

My server was clearly familiar with celiac disease; when I told her I had celiac disease she thanked me for letting her know and said she’d both flag the order and personally speak to the kitchen to ensure they take special precautions to protect against cross contact. The items listed on the menu as gluten free are mostly chowders and salads but she pointed out all the places where mods are possible (for example, the tacos can be made with corn tortillas though it’s not their default). Nearly everything but the crab cakes had an available modification. Ghost fish GF beer too! Everyone who brought out food confirmed it was gluten free with special precautions. The corn tortillas were bigger than I expected so we double checked when they came out but it was. Very delicious and easy experience. I felt very safe.

I’m not sure why there is t better labeling for GF available items, but the staff were all very knowledgeable and helpful.

I love eating here! Menu is clearly marked, and staff is incredibly knowledgeable. I’ve been here multiple times and never gotten sick, I always feel safe eating here. If you let them know you are gf, they will bring you chips and salsa instead of the bread.

Menu has many items marked GF. They also can make burgers GF. We ordered then the manager came out and talked with us. He has celiac as well! My daughter had the kids meal of salmon and roasted potatoes. Fries are made in a mixed frier so don’t eat those- waiter knew this and told us.

Lots of gluten free items clearly marked. All the (delicious) chowders are by default gluten free. Allegedly the owner of Dukes worked to make sure all the gluten free items were up to the same quality as "normal" items - you can tell!

So good and some great gluten-free options. Our waiter told us Duke’s daughter has celiac, so they are well versed and sensitive to it.
