Review of McAlister's Deli

I work a few minutes away, and I eat here on a regular basis. A manager told me they get gluten-free bread in 2-slice packs. It's one dollar up charge for 2 pieces of GF bread. (So, it's normally $1 extra, but they have a few sandwiches like their Muffetta that are gargantuan, and they are made on 8 slices of bread, so that's a $4 up charge. I usually get 2-3 meals out of one, so it's a good deal!) Their gluten-free menu lists everything gluten free and what to watch out for. They're happy to make sandwiches with different sauce or without gravy. Once you realize how short the list of possible gluten sources is, it is nice to walk in and have a nearly-full menu to choose from. Unlike many restaurants that have limited menus, most items they sell have no gluten issues other than the bread the sandwiches are served on. Switch bread, and most of the menu is GF. My wife loves their potatoes, both as a side and as a meal, and my son loves their chili. They often have GF soup, and they're always happy to check for you. I have gluten allergies, and my son is Celiac. We often visit McAllister's restaurants while traveling, and we have always had good food, good service, and no cross-contamination issues. And, again unlike many other places, they have cards for freebies, GF or not, after you but a certain number of meals or cups of tea. These are honored at all McAllister's.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
