I always feel safe when I eat at Joes (and haven't ever gotten sick). I've been to a lot of Joes locations in the area, and this is my least favorite, but it's still a good place to eat, especially with a big GF menu.

Ordered gluten free macaroni and cheese. The pasta was tough to chew and clearly microwaved, and the cheese was just a piece of melted American cheese slapped on top. The bread was good, but also very obviously microwaved.

This place is just gross. Makes one wonder what the kitchen looks like.

My friend ate from the gluten free menu and somehow ingested some gluten. Maybe the grill was not sufficiently cleaned?

Food wasn't great, booster seats and table was super sticky and bathrooms were gross. Those sort of things make me concerned about overall cleanliness and cross contamination. The gluten free carrot cake was the only thing good about this place.

Great choices for dinner, and very aware of cross contamination. I looked longingly at the amazing cheese and oil dip they always bring out, but we haven't been able to eat in years. The waitress then asked if we wanted some GF rolls to dip in it! They had the best GF rolls we've had in a long time!

Seperate GF menu, with lots of options. Make sure you get the pre-meal GF bread & oil/cheese!

I was pleasantly surprised that they provided gf bread (a warmed Udi's roll) to go along with their olive oil dipping sauce. I foolishly ordered the pasta, which left much to be desired...

The chain is good but not this location. My son order a hamburger with just ketchup and it came with pickles sent it back and they just took the pickles off, well we could have done that if that would have worked but he hates pickles that the juice they leave behind.

The wait staff isn't very knowledgeable. I ordered French fries, and the waitress came back with our food, but no fries, telling me they weren't gluten free. Thy would have been a nice thing to know before hand so I could order a different side. The food was decent but nothing special.

Great experience here. Staff was super knowledgeable and asked about allergies right after seating us. Waitress got me a gluten free menu after I told them about being Celiac. Waitress also knew I couldn't have fries because of cross contamination. I got the mustard crusted BLT. It was definitely safe and gluten free. Tasted fine, not amazing. Green beans as a side were so good though. The menu had a ton of other options. Everything is pretty pricey, but it was nice to know I could eat my meal safely! Would definitely go back and try something else.

Server was careful about gf. Mustard crusted chicken sandwich was okay, but the gluten free rolls for appetizer and with the sandwich were the best I’ve ever had!

I always have a great experience here they are always on top of it with allergies asking upon everyone ordering. As soon as I made them aware of my allergy they brought AMAZING GF bread rolls with separate dipping oil and a gluten free menu. The GF menu has lots of options. Personally I get the kids GF Mac and cheese and it comes in an adult portion absolutely perfect !

I ordered gluten free pasta and was given the regular gluten pasta. They told me about their error after I ate my meal.

And of course now I am horribly sick. Please do not go here - you can’t trust them.
