Gluten-Free at Sea Salt Fry Co

Fries are the whole point of this place, so we made sure everyone can have them: our fries are cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, kept separate from anything breaded. Anything marked GF above is gluten-free as served, and our smashburgers can be made on a gluten-free bun. Chicken tenders are available gluten-free too — just ask.
