Review of Ghent Sandwich Shop

First of all, as a retired police officer I appreciated the salute to first responders inside the restaurant. ❤ I was traveling through town and wanted to try this place. I had planned on eating inside but it was SO HOT inside that I got my food to go and ate in the car. They have heating and cooling issues and are trying to get it fixed.

I got a club sandwich with fries. I was reassured that the fries were safe and fried in a separate fryer. I was also told that the owner’s wife has celiac and eats the fries so I felt safe. The sandwich bread was good and not microscopically small like a lot of GF bread. The turkey and ham on the sandwich was meh. Seemed like the off brand sandwich meat you get out of the refrigerated section at the grocery store. Especially the 1 very small piece of ham. There were 2 slices of turkey. The bacon was crispy and yummy. Shredded lettuce which always takes it up a notch and good mayo. Needed to be cut in half to eat more easily but that’s being picky. The fries were fast food style and fresh. No salt though but that’s ok cause I added some.

All in all it was “ok”. I give it an A for effort because of the effort for gluten free. I would probably try it again but maybe a burger. They don’t have GF buns so the burgers are served on sandwich bread. They also have GF brown gravy. Didn’t try this but also a nice addition.
