Legal Sea Foods

Staff was very attentive to everyone in the restaurant. I have celiac and our server Brandon was up to speed on how the kitchen handles gluten free. Fish and chips were amazing. I did not get sick and highly recommend anyone with gluten allergies to eat here!

Loved this. Delicious food. Server said he has worked there 20 years. He patiently answered all my questions and checked “the book” for some of my less common ingredient avoidances. Although I was sad that the gf rolls contain potato, I was grateful he saved me from an episode. Very tasty. A good experience

Had GF calamari for $17 and it was tasteless. The spicy tuna sushi was very good. Service was horrible and food overpriced. My stomach also wasn’t quite right after.

By far, my favorite restaurant in my area. As a Celiac, I’m thrilled to have safe food from a GF frier plus the menu changes a bit here and there to offer up new Test Kitchen option. My partner also loves it!

Went out for date night and had an amazing experience here. Separate fryers and lots of gf choices that are marked clearly. I had some delicious fried calamari and the Cioppino. Felt very safe here and didn’t get sick and I am very sensitive. I would come here a lot if I lived in the area.

Love their fish n chips. They are not open right now due to covid. Hope they reopen soon😩

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We went for a restaurant week lunch and the special menu was not marked for gluten free options, so our waitress went to ask a more knowledgeable waiter. He came over right away, took over our table, ran back to the kitchen to get our questions answered and in a matter of moments, a plate of hot gluten free buns arrived. The waiter was all about how they do gluten free really well there and intend to earn our trust. The food was good, thoroughly gluten free (my husband is super sensitive), and the service was amazing. I know restaurant week is intended to get people to try out new restaurants, but I have never before felt like a restaurant was really trying to get OUR business.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love their fish n chips. Definitely recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very accommodating. Legal Seafood offers many items gluten free. We tried the beer battered cod with fries & fried shrimp with fried rice. This place is AMAZING! The manager & waiter was very cautious & made me feel great about eating here without worrying about being sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The beer battered fish and chips are excellent! And celiac friendly! Also had classic or traditional fish and chips which were awesome too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There is no GF chowder at this location, so we headed someplace else.

Beyond impressed! The service is stellar. They make you feel welcome and as though it is no problem whatsoever to answer all your questions about gluten and whether there is cc. They seemed really informed about avoiding cc and could answer all our questions. Everything that goes in the fryer is gf because their batter for fried stuff is gf. 

The first time we went, our meal was cutting it close to their closing time. Despite that, our server was extremely friendly in answering all our questions and the manager even came over and was very friendly, and told us about desserts he recommends, and no one rushed us. The second time, the chef even brought our food out and introduced himself and assured us that he made sure everything was allergen-free. They also have "allergy runners" that bring the food out sometimes. The second time we went, they brought us gluten free rolls on the house before the meal. 

The food was delicious. They just added sushi to their menu. They have tons of fun specialty rolls they can make gf. We got the shrimp tempura roll and the only adjustment to make it gf was that they didn't put the extra tempura "flakes" on it (the shrimp itself still comes out as tempura/ fried in batter). The other ingredients (tobiko, spicy mayo, teriyaki, avo, cucumber) came on the gf version. We also ordered cioppino - there were no adjustments to it, except for bringing out gf bread to go with it instead of the non-gf bread it usually comes with. The cheesecake even had gluten free crust and felt fresh because of the seasonal fruit. 

The only small thing is that the server might put your silverware directly on the table (it's not wrapped in a napkin), so you might need to ask not to. I also saw that you can order online for pickup or delivery, but I haven't tried that yet. The main menu is marked with what can be modified to be gf. This location is in Kendall Square.
