Frequently Asked Questions
Captain D's does not offer a certified gluten-free menu. Most items are breaded with wheat and fried in shared oil, so cross-contamination is likely. Some grilled items and plain sides are lower-risk.
Plain steamed broccoli, a plain baked potato, and unsweetened tea carry no wheat or gluten on the chart. Grilled fish is naturally gluten-free but is prepared near breaded items.
It's not recommended. All fried items share oil with heavily breaded, wheat-based products, so even naturally gluten-free foods pick up gluten in the fryer.
The fish itself is, but the official chart lists wheat/gluten on several grilled items due to seasoning and shared prep. Treat grilled options as 'caution,' not 'safe,' and ask staff.
