McAlister's Deli

Staff was NOT knowledgeable about gluten free so I suggest preparing with online menu before you go and being very specific when you order. Salad was made with croutons and I sent back. They mention on website that all their salad dressings may have gluten so I ordered vegi chili ( which is gf) instead. Staff told me since it contains soy it is not gluten free??? The GF bread was good.

The staff where very nice so was the manger and I got the Italian chopped salad and when they where coming out with the food they almost got to are table before they forgot if they changed there gloves or not so they went back and made the whole salad over again. (Ps I did not get sick and on a scale from 1 to 10 I am like a 12 when I eat gluten.)

We stopped here on our way home from Virginia Beach. The staff is not very knowledgeable about gluten free eating (other than that they, in fact, have a GF menu). They were very accommodating with my requests. The manager oversaw our order and caught a mistake and had them toss it and prepare it again. The main options are baked potato, salad, and lunch meat (no bread). My thoughts - It's OK to eat here, just be very verbal about your requests and ask lots of questions.

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!

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.
