We stopped here along the way home from visiting the gulf. They do have Schar Gluten Free sandwich rolls. The employees do not appear to have any knowledge of what gluten is and why some people have to avoid it. When we arrived I asked for a gluten free menu or allergy menu. They did not have or offer any knowledge of what items were Gluten Free besides the bread. Go to the Firehouse website and review the allergy menu, many of the meats and cheese options are gluten free.

Do walk them through providing a clean surface and changing their gloves. Do ask them not to toast or stream your sandwich. DO ask for condiment packets and dress the sandwich yourself. I think it's possible to safely eat here but remember the employees have zero knowledge on safe handling and preparation for those affected by gluten. You must provide strict instructions or you or your loved ones will likely be glutened

They have solid allergy protocols (using fresh containers, changing gloves, toasting on foil). The cashier said that all of the toppings are GF, but I played it safe (she didn’t seem 100% certain, and things like meatballs are a red flag). I played it safe and had a turkey sub. It was fine, but not worth the $18 it cost.

Gluten free bun but no measures to prevent cross contamination. No knowledge of which items are gluten free. Bread crumbs all over the place.

Was craving a sandwich and remembered they were in my area, looked at the menu and read a review on here and went for it! The gal at the front was the best, explained all protocols for gluten allergy and wont cut your sandwich to lessen the chance of cross contanimation. Bonus : they have Schar bread ! So i was sold ! I had a tuna sandwich no cheese and some chips! I feel fine and will definately return again.
