Not at all safe for celiacs or people with true allergies. I ordered a sandwich and stressed that I had a severe allergy. The person at the counter was very understanding and shared that my sandwich would be prepared in a separate space with clean utensils and a glove change.
I had the most violent reaction I’ve had in years and was sick for days. I’m not sure if there was a miscommunication but I’ve reached out to the restaurant twice for clarity and gotten no answers. Such a shame because the sandwich was delicious.
I would NOT recommend to those with a true allergy - only if you have a sensitivity/preference.

Loved it, and can’t wait to go back to try all!
Review
It was wonderful getting to have a cheesesteak again! They do use the same grill to toast bread that they use to grill the steak, but they clean it after use. The person taking our order had clear answers for all of my questions. He swapped out the fried onions for grilled. The chicken cutlet sandwiches are all gluten free according to the menu.

Sandwiches are all so delicious and celiac safe! Only place I’ve ever found a GF chicken cutlet sandwich. They take great care of gluten free and labeled and made sure everything was separate as necessary!

We ordered a cheesesteak (The Eye) and The Spinner (a confused chicken cheesesteak). Both were amazing!! Like, not “good because it’s gluten free” - legit good!! I’m super excited to go back. And super happy that I’ve finally found a cheesesteak I can eat.

Knowledgeable about cross contact and have a variety of gluten free options. Separate prep area & use gluten free Udis rolls. Great option.
