McAlister's Deli

I have celiac. When you order a sandwich, you MUST explain to them you have a severe allergy and to change their gloves and avoid cross contamination. A lot of people do not think about toasters, and the staff is not actively trained in allergy protocol. They do not have a designated toaster. A manager informed me to not order my sandwiches toasted. So, if you have a severe allergy, I recommend ordering your sandwich hot but NOT toasted. It is very apparent when it is toasted because you will see the lines on the bread. I have eaten here numerous times with no issue, and the staff is always extremely willing to help. I am very sensitive to gluten.

Pretty limited menu, typically just get a baked potato. Staff is always friendly and accommodating.

Celiac friendly?

Gluten free bread is now available!😊😊😊

Excellent salads! I don't worry about GF bread because like G bread it is often made from fake stuff.

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.

Absolutely amazing. They asked if it were an allergy or preference and when I told them I had celiacs they immediately told the kitchen. These sandwiches are amazing. The bread is so good. Highly recommended.
