Celiac safety assessment and key features
Big Al's Oyster Bar offers a tempting array of fresh Gulf oysters and seafood classics, but for those of us with celiac disease, the experience is a mixed bag. There's no dedicated gluten-free menu or facility, and while a few staff members seem to understand celiac needs, the lack of written protocols and shared kitchen space give pause. Some naturally gluten-free items like oysters or simple seafood preparations might work in a pinch, but cross-contamination risk lingers—so if you’re highly sensitive, you’ll want to tread carefully or call ahead. It’s one of those places where you can find something safe in theory, but true peace of mind is harder to come by.
