I ordered a bowl. The ingredients were fresh, portions were substantial and I did not react adversely. Will definitely visit again.

Most items on the menu are gluten free. They tell me that their chips are fried in shared oil (unlike some of the reviews below) so I stay away from them and flour tortillas. Just make sure you tell them every time you eat there about your needs. I get nervous that they change things often.

The bowl is a great option and it is very filling

Burrito in the Buff is the best

Went there a few months ago to get dinner. I observed the employee that assembled the woman's order in front of me. She ordered some kind of wrap because she grabbed a flour tortilla. As she went down the line, she requested rice on it. However, instead of the employee using the ladle that was already in the rice, she proceed to go in with gloved hands that had touched the flour tortilla, to grab the rice instead. I immediately walked out and left. If you have Celiac (which I do), I would not risk it. Too much cross-contamination.

They're great about getting toppings from underneath and changing gloves. Sad to no longer enjoy the fried fish tacos but love that I can still eat here-its cheap, quick and an easy place to dine with others.

Was super excited to try this for lunch, sadly after a few bites I got very sick. The people there were unsure what was gluten free

This particular location of Blue Coast is great about gluten free. This location (and as far as I know, only this location) even has a dedicated fryer for gluten-free chips. They will pull what you want from underneath the counter rather than risking the regular line if you specify gluten-free. They also change gloves and everything. I always ask for mine in a to-go box so I don’t risk commonly used plates and such. But I will say some people at this location even start switching gloves when they see me walk in the door 😂

I eat there so often and never have an issue. I know it used to be not as safe, but managers changed and now I never have a problem. They change gloves, wash hands, get new utensils, make sure those utensils don’t touch the other ones, etc. Honestly they’re pretty much the only place in cookeville that I 100% trust other than P Dilly’s. Even the newer people will go find someone to ask if I tell them I have a gluten allergy (which I say even though I’m celiac).
