As others have mentioned, there is a “gluten sensitive” menu. Kids had GF rolls with dipping sauce, GF Mac n cheese, and GF pasta with butter. All was good, but needed to add seasoning to the pasta with butter (ended up added the GF bread dipping sauce which was oil, garlic, Romano, and crushed red pepper).

This chain is no longer Gluten Free. They have lowered their menu to Gluten "Friendly".

We ordered a super crunch salad for some someone with Celiac in a take out order. Discovered a bread crouton in the salad. Manager informed us they do their best but can't guarantee GF. Received no compensation for inedible meal.

We had ordered a Supercrunch G-F salad* and noticed a cube of bread mixed in with the quinoa. In response to our concern, the regional manager said NYAJ cannot guarantee G-F and the menu now says “gluten sensitive,” no longer “gluten-free.” We have had more than one food safety issue with this restaurant.

*When ordering, we mentioned more than once that the customer has celiac disease. The receipt labelled the salad “G-S.”

One of the best GF restaurant experiences I have had. GF buns heated up with delicious olive oil based dip to begin with. I was given my own dip jar with the waiter saying ‘to avoid double dipping’ with my family who are not GF! Then breaded haddock (GF bread crumbs), mashed potatoes and broccoli. My family loved their food and we were given complimentary desert due to a delay in being seen when arriving - a GF carrot cake with caramel for me! Strongly recommend!!

Excellent Chicken Parmesan with Pasta that my young daughter gets every time, they make Gluten Free buns and a manager brings out the entree at every Joes restaurant that we have been to.

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.
