Outer Banks Gluten Free

[blueeyedmanda]

I am narrowing down my honeymoon choices, and I am would love to finally get to the Outer Banks, has anyone been to the Outer Banks after going gluten free? If so, could you share? Thanks

Good Choice. I live about a hour away and we go the the Banks quite a bit.

I don't know of any restaurants with a gluten free menu other than OutBack in Nags Head. There is a place that serves gluten free ribs in Kitty Hawk, the owners has a celiac child....darn, I can't remember the name of it.

Here are a few celiac friendly places:

Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe

Nags Head

Black Pelican

Kitty Hawk *****

Colington Cafe

Kill Devil Hills

If you need any more information, just let me know.

aw, blueeyed, definitely go there!!!!

My husband grew up going to the Outer Banks every summer with his whole family.....and the first time he took me, he proposed to me on the beach. So I have a special place in my heart for it. We have gone twice since being diagnosed. The first time, I ate out once (just ordered plain seafood, cooked in butter, nothing else, in a clean pan, threatened their life about cross contamination....you know, the normal routine ). When we went this past summer, I was in the midst of being horribly sick due to other reasons, and did not eat out at all. In general, I think that seafood is one of the easiest things to order though. The less ingredients, the better! (boring, I know, but I don't want you getting sick on your honeymoon!)

I think we are going again this summer....(today I will say "definitely" considering we have snow here today!)

The beach is so romantic, John proposed to me on the Beach in Atlantic City, he had orginally planned on doing at the top of the Abescon Lighthouse (I love lighthouses, another reason for going to the Outer Banks)

Thank you for all your help!

We are hoping to rent a beach house so we can cook a lot at the house plus we would like to bring out kitty along.

I too am getting snow today and tomorrow so the beach seems so nice. We spend a week in Wildwood every summer.

That definitely sounds like a good plan...the houses there are so great. Eric's family gets one, and it makes it so much easier on me, having a kitchen. There is a great restaurant called the Whalebone....we went there the night after he proposed. It is really special to us. I haven't eaten there gluten-free, but it is a nice seafood place.

We are all so sappy :)
