Second time visiting this nice little gem in Southport. It's worth the visit. We had gluten-free pizza, and it was delicious

A little pricey, but good food made from good ingredients. Lots of vegan and gluten free options.

I visit here every time I come to Oak Island!! The majority of their menu can be made GF by cooking with GF soy sauce! It’s so delicious!!

I’ve loved Joseph’s even before getting celiac. I’m so thankful that they offer GF pasta! This is a really nice Italian restaurant on the water. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They only take reservations for 8 or more people.

GLUTEN FREE items indicated on the menu and more than simply a salad. I enjoyed the Shrimp & Grits with grilled shrimp and served without gravy to make it GF. It’s a pretty busy place and you should anticipate a wait. Food, atmosphere, and service were great!

This new restaurant brings a unique and trendy vibe to Southport! They were accommodating to food allergies at our large table(gluten free friendly ~ desert is a must!) and offered guidance when looking at the delicious menu. Bo Saam (pork shoulder) is a must!!! Yummmmm :-)

This is a great dinner spot!! Make reservations!! They do note GF options on the menu, but the chef can customize so many meals. They want you to get what you want and will make it happen!! Their tomato caper sauce is amazing!!

Kind of long but worth reading...especially if you have a food allergy! My husband and I made a reservation about a month or so ago...I was told over the phone that they had lots of gluten free options. The menu also lists many items GF. Upon arriving, we were seated promptly but when the waiter came over, I told him that the main reason I came was to have the fried oysters because the menu says they are GF. The waiter goes back to the kitchen and comes back saying that the fried oysters are in fact not GF. I pointed to the GF label on the menu and he said "well I'm sorry, they are not actually GF." Seriously?? He went back to the kitchen and came back and told me that the kitchen was overwhelmed and he was sorry for the confusion but the fried oysters are not GF...even though the menu says they are. He got aggravated with me and went outside to get the chef who was standing right by the front entrance smoking a cigarette (I only know this because we had to walk through his cloud of smoke to enter the restaurant) We got up to leave at this point and the chef was approaching us. He said "I am not sure why he is saying the fried oysters are not gluten free because they are...we make them GF all the time." Apparently the staff/cooks are not all on the same page with the menu which is unfortunate because we really had high hopes for this place!
