This is about the Jefferson Pointe location. They think Celiac is big joke. Manager Louie took my order and could barely contain his disdain at my request my sandwich be made on a GF surface. After I paid he turned to girl making sandwiches and told her that the customer has a SERIOUS GLUTEN ALLERGY (with clear overexaggeration and sarcasm) and she laughed... but, oops, I was still standing there. Manager had to save face so he insisted they were joking about something else, then proceeded to tell me that he wasn't going to make his employees stop having fun at work. That is 100% their priority, not the customer.

I order the Italian on Gluten Free bread. I also get the potato salad and a pickle. In the 6 years I’ve been eating here I only had one reaction and they were EXTREMELY busy that day. I always tell them It is for a Gluten Allergy before I order and then ask them to let the cooks in the back know. They are very careful.

They have an allergy option on their app, also a choice of GF breads with the sandwiches. Giant spuds and salads are also good options.

I have not had any issues here. I know chains are risky, but I’m addicted to the nacho basket and chef salad (no croutons). Have never had symptoms from it.
