The gluten free bread was hard as a rock. Some parts were literally uneatable. Not cool

Great gluten free menu. They also have an alley book you can cross check for eggs, milk, soy, gluten/wheat, fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts. They were so patient and accommodating!  They even pulled a dressing from the kitchen so I could look at the ingredient list. (I am following the Autoimmune Paleo.)

I was disappointed when I learned that it was only Udi's bread, but went ahead and ordered. The bread was fresh and thicker than just the regular loaf cut Udi's. It's delicious.

I was really excited about getting a gf sandwich until I realized they were just using Udi's bread. Otherwise, a nice break from the limited fast food options in town.

The new Gluten Free bread is awesome! It's like a whole grain type bread. I saved half of my sandwich for the next day in the fridge and it was just as good the next day. Yeah

I order the Italian on Gluten Free bread. I also get the potato salad and a pickle. In the 6 years I’ve been eating here I only had one reaction and they were EXTREMELY busy that day. I always tell them It is for a Gluten Allergy before I order and then ask them to let the cooks in the back know. They are very careful.

Hit or miss. I’ve been lucky the past few times, but my first time going I got very sick. I gave them another shot and since then i’ve been good! I get the Savannah copped salad and it’s so good! They have gf bread, salads, and potato’s!

They have an allergy option on their app, also a choice of GF breads with the sandwiches. Giant spuds and salads are also good options.

I have not had any issues here. I know chains are risky, but I’m addicted to the nacho basket and chef salad (no croutons). Have never had symptoms from it.
