enjoyed ordering a sandwich as gluten free bread is available. the counter clerk was knowledgeable about Celiac disease, he was diagnosed several years earlier, person preparing food changed gloves and took appropriate measures. Not all employees are as well trained about gluten. I enjoyed a grilled Ruben and salad. tomato basil soup is yummy.

They have a variety of options. There's an allergen list on their website but no gluten free menu, as far as I can recall. I've had salads, spuds, and sandwiches with Udi's bread with no problems.

This was actually my first GF meal so I was nervous. They had a separate Gf menu. I got a sandwich on gf bread and it was great.

Newer location with indoor and outdoor (both covered & uncovered) seating. Offer GF bread. The BLTA is a good choice. Both nachos are legal as long as you omit chili. Top with grilled chicken or the ham are both good substitutes. Most of the potatoes are legal, except for the one with beefsteak.

I called this restaurant to see if they had gluten-free available. They said they have gluten-free bread, but none of their deli meat is gluten-free. That does not make sense to me!

I had a gluten free sandwich and the bread was good. It was soft and didn’t fall apart. There also salads and baked potatoes that are gluten free. The menu has an icon to show which items are gluten free. None of the soups or desserts are gluten free, sadly.
