McAlister's Deli

I got the inside scoop from someone who worked there and they told me that they would purposely cross contaminate when a gluten free order would come through! So be careful out there.

We talked to the manager who was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options. When ordering the employee was no afraid to go ask for help with gluten free options and then the manager took the time to train him. When our food arrived they told us they had changed gloves to prepare our sandwich and salads. Would definitely eat here again!

Turkey is processed, slimy, bland. Most of menu is a variety of something else. French dip beef was rainbow tinted with makes me think old.

About the best thing on the menu is the soups.

Many seem to like the place but I have high standards on food and this isn’t even close. Pass.

I don’t know if I trust after eating gf bread I think. I had severe abdominal pain.

Gluten sensitive option on the menu are great tasting. Never have gotten sick when eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff is extremely ill informed. No g free menu to speak of.

Celiac friendly?

No

I'll admit, the first few times I went here and had to sort through the allergy list, the front house staff was not knowledgeable about gluten free and it was tedious. However after familiarizing myself with what my options are, I have no problems. The cooking staff is much more knowledgeable and I have never felt bad after eating here. I simply let the person taking the order know I have a gluten allergy (I know, not accurate, but easiest to communicate for the sake of restaurants) and the kitchen takes care of the rest. It really boils down to me being a well-informed and active celiac when I eat out.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This location does not have gluten free bread. I give it 1star for GF. otherwise 4 stars.

They know absolutely nothing about gluten free. I'm not even sure either of the two employees I spoke to knew what gluten was. Even if my meal was gluten free, there seems to be a great chance for cross contamination.

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!

They are willing to change gloves when handling gf sandwich bread. Always our go to place!
