I did not get sick and their attitude towards gluten indicated they took it very seriously. However, I ordered a tuna unwich and they got both the tuna and other ingredients from the containers on the line. The sandwich preparer also wiped his fingers on his apron while making the unwich and then continued making it. They used the procedures they had been trained in and asked the shift manager who led them through the process. Probably they just need some more training.
No gf here unless you want a lettuce wrap
No
CELIACS DO NOT EAT HERE! I'd give it zero if I could.
As a past employee, I can assure you there is NO WAY to avoid being gluten-ed here. Yes, even with an unwich, yes even with different boards and knives.The cross-contamination is crazy.
First, some of the meats still contain gluten, and many employees won't be able to tell you which ones (roast beef, cheese, all are sketchy though).
Second, all ingredients meet the same utensils at one point or another: the same meat slicer, the same bins on the cold table, the same cutting boards, spatulas, etc.
Third, bread crumb EVERYWHERE. Employees touch bread, then grab lettuce/tomatoes for said sandwich, then continue to touch bread. AKA gluten in all of the produce.
Fourth, about 90% of the employees are not going to understand celiac. They won't have a inhibition as to what to do to avoid cross contamination.
I'm telling you, if you've been "fine" eating here before as a celiac, you may want to ask your doctor if you're really celiac. There is no possible way. Please do yourself a solid and avoid.
ASIDE from its being unfriendly to celiacs, this place is truly golden. 5 stars otherwise.
No

Let me start by saying any Jimmy John’s I go to I never get sick when I order their unwich ! The unwich is their only gluten free sandwich and I DO NOT miss the bread it is lettuce wrapped and seriously delicious I would suggest adding their oil and vinegar and some Italian seasoning they have makes the lettuce tastier ! They also have a gluten free potato salad and list everything on their app and website including any allergens and gluten !

The Unwiches are typically a safe thing to eat. Their cheese at Jimmy Johns contains wheat. As long as it’s made without their cheese, the unwiches are safe.
