We enjoyed this chain before but stood waiting for 15 minutes to even place an order with others lining up behind us. Maybe that’s why the sign says “these days” it won’t be fast. Full compliment of staff but no one seemed to notice everyone waiting.

I asked about their corn chips and was assured they were from a bag and were GF. Like an idiot, I didn't ask about the ingredients in their nacho meat and ordered the Ultimate Nachos. I have Dermatitis Herpetaformis and now have blisters on my arm (just the right one, for some strange reason).

The flavor of the nachos was great, but not worth it. I didn't check their menu for GF items, which I almost always do. It was a last minute decision to go there and I should have known better.

Don't order the Ultimate Nachos!

They have an allergen list menu. Very limited options, mostly salads and their deli meat is gluten free. I also had the veggie chili, but did not enjoy it at all.

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.
