Island Hopper Restaurant
Island Hopper Taproom (Waimea) has a gluten-free menu with marked items, a dedicated fryer for tortilla chips, and staff who are often knowledgeable about coeliac needs. However, the kitchen is shared, fries are cooked in a shared fryer, and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. One reviewer reported getting sick after eating here. Call ahead to confirm current practices.
