Jake n JOES Sports Grille

We were hesitant to go because there were only 3 reviews (1-5 years ago) and they were very bad- but we went to a different location and it was excellent. I called first and spoke with the manager. He clearly understood Celiac Disease and cross contamination. We went and the staff were very careful, knowledgeable, a manager delivered the food and the quality was excellent!

If I could give this place a zero I would. I ordered gluten free Mac n cheese. Halfway through eating my meal I noticed a piece of cavatelli pasta in my penne noodles. I asked the server if they had gluten free cavatelli and she immediately apologized and went to speak to the manager. The manager rushed over to make sure I was “feeling okay”, as if I were going into anaphylactic shock. They comped my meal but it won’t compare to the next few weeks of autoimmune symptoms that I’m already feeling the next day. Please, just go next door to the better Joe’s, who also have great GF bread.

Celiac friendly?

No

1st time: noticed that my bun looked identical to my friends so I sent back and they brought me a new sandwich. 2nd time: ordered steamed broccoli and roasted potatoes off of their gf menu (trying to avoid another sandwich mix up) and I got so sick. There will not be a 3rd time.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was pretty good. They are new so they aren't totally knowledgable but they have a large menu. Had burger and my friend had Mac m cheese. Both were good

Came for lunch with a group expecting to only be able to eat lettuce and was pleasantly surprised. Menu is marked with options that can be modified gluten free - they have some baked wings, salads, burger rolls, pasta, steak tips, etc. No dedicated fryer. I asked about the blackened chicken pasta and was assured pasta would be cooked in clean water. A manager brought my food out separately on a covered tray and confirmed it was gluten free. I am not symptomatic so generally can’t speak to presence cross contamination but I felt comfortable eating here.

I have been ordering their gluten-friendly menu items and finally asked the manager how the cauliflower pizza is cooked. They cook it in a conveyor oven with other pizzas which is where I got the gluten cross contamination. He did offer to put it in a separate tray inside the oven instead of directly in the oven, but they usually don't do that.

This was okay. Not a very extensive menu, but was clearly marked with what was gluten free. I got the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. It was pretty good. (A bit too spicy and I didn’t love the chicken). It was clearly box pasta. Not sure if I’d go again. Pretty mediocre.
