Regular menu marked with items gluten free. Calamari is naturally gluten free and absolutely delicious!!

I’ve eaten the fried food at many other locations. I got very sick after eating here. They also brought all the food - raw bar, appetizers, entrees out at once which makes the experience significantly worse.

Celiac friendly?

No

Almost all of their food could be made gluten free...including fried food and fries!!!! The staff was very knowledgeable and if they weren’t sure, they would ask instead of just guessing. Definitely returning!

I have a 10 year old with celiac. She had fries and fish sticks which we were told would be safe. Waitress even asked detailed questions. And by the time we got home my daughter was sick and up all night with stomach pains. Not sure where it went wrong. Very disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

No

Wife has went to many different legal seafoods and even came here once before and never got sick. the manager even came out with food and made sure it was gluten free. The last time we went here for her birthday and she has gotten very sick. The manager didnt bring out the food this time and accidently overcharged us twice. Never again.

Celiac friendly?

No

We have been several times. All their fried foods are gf, but they still keep all gf items very separate. I love the bread and croutons on the salads. You don't get those things at many places.

Knowledgeable staff, great service (gf food served separately) and a thoroughly enjoyable meal. Most important to me, no symptoms. Truly gluten free dining. I highly recommend this restaurant and location.

I had the most delicious fish and chips. The onion strings were amazing. All are gluten free so no need for special instructions. The manager brought out the food and stated it was gf and the waitress was beyond accommodating. Also enjoyed gf rolls. Nothing left on my plate!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE legal seafoods. I am really able to enjoy myself when i dine at any of the legal seafood restaurants. the manager always brings out the gf food and staff is always knowledgeable! The menu is great!

Our server, Brian, was super. Instantly offered how meal would be prepared to make it gluten free. Very tasty gf rolls were brought out for my son and myself. Manager brought out our gf meals. When asked if we were there for Mother's Day (a day early), we said no but for son's birthday and he brought out a little birthday treat, gf, for my son. A truly enjoyable 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.

My partner and I recently moved to the area and she is a severe celiac. We found Legal Sea Foods and it was off the charts good. The menu is clearly marked for gluten free options and they even had a GF mission statement. There was so much variety and everything we ordered was delicious. We definitely were not expecting GF dinner rolls fresh from the oven nor a fully fried GF fisherman's platter. My girlfriend was so ecstatic that she was finally able to have her first lobster roll. We ended the meal with GF cheesecake which was also delicious. We will definitely keep this high on our list of GF friendly restaurants. If you come in, look for Ben who was our server. He was excellent and took great care of us. He understood our GF needs and made sure everything was safely prepared.

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.

Great experience. My son has celiac. The staff was very kind and experienced. His food was brought out separately with confirmation they avoided cross contamination. Lots of options
