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.

We told the very nice cashier that I have a gluten allergy and she said “don’t worry, we got you”. She answered all of our questions with confidence. After placing our order she hollered to the kitchen what the order was and that it was an allergy. Then she turned around and said “it’s also stamped on the order print out, don’t worry” I didn’t ask about preparation given the reviews I had already read and the fact that they even differentiate between allergy and non-allergy gluten free. 5/5 fast food experience.

A go to for me when passing through hungry. I always call and speak to a manager after ordering and ask for allergy protocol. I haven’t had any issues eating at this location.

They have amazing gluten free bread! They also ask if you have a gluten free allergy or if it’s a preference (I’m assuming for how they prep the food). The food was really good!

Management let my daughter try 4 different salad dressings to see which she liked (Sherry Shallot) since they don't have her favorite, Italian. Their gluten free breed was really good.

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.
