Dining out with dietary restrictions can be difficult, especially if you are traveling and unfamiliar with the area. Gluten free has become a very common dietary need, whether by choice, sensitivity or because of Celiac disease. Here are some restaurants in Grays Harbor with gluten-free menu options. If you have Celiac or cannot have foods cooked on shared equipment, be sure to check with a restaurant before ordering/eating as to the specifics of how the food is prepared. In many restaurants, cross-contamination is a concern.
