This is always my go-to chain when I am looking for quick-GF options! They have Udi’s GF bread they can make your sandwiches with, and will mark if it’s an allergy as long as you specify. They have other sides (like fruit, potato salad (which is DF), chips, broccoli) that are GF as well.

I have never gotten sick, but since it’s a small kitchen I would still take caution. I personally prefer the JC one as opposed to the Kingsport one, simply because they’re just always consistent and kind.

9/10

Delicious! Any sandwich can be made on their very tasty gluten free bread. Several side options including fruit, veggies, potato salad or chips. Will definitely be back!

I eat here almost weekly and they are very careful with my food! I am Celiac and have never had a reaction. My favorite is the Savannah chopped chicken salad!

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.
