Original Joe's

Definitely got a regular bun, even though we sent it back and double checked. They swore up and down it was gluten free. It certainly wasn't! Will not be going back.

My main place to go is now Original Joe’s and they seem to really understand celiac. I always order the California Cobb Salad and sub to the Dijon Vinegarette as it’s gf and the usual blue cheese balsamic is not. It’s so tasty and filling. My order is always clearly labeled that it’s for a “gluten allergy” for take out which I appreciate and the staff are always so friendly.

OJ’s was originally one of the safest places for a gluten free meal and the sides were great. Unfortunately the staff at several locations were less than reassuring and the manager too busy to bring meal out separately. I have definitely gotten sick although not full out reaction so.... I would like to give them another go because as stated they were at one time very careful and could handle our large family gatherings. It’s been 2 years so management and staff may have improved

I ordered to go and called ahead to say I was Celiac and they assured me everything was safe that I ordered. When I went to eat the Brussel sprouts I pulled a breaded shrimp tail out of my mouth. I phoned to tell them and they said oh I guess they are gluten sensitive. They had no idea what the difference was. Now I’m preparing for my reaction to the breaded shrimp tail. They usually have great food just not safe for Celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

OJ’s has a good variety of gluten friendly menu items and the servers are pleasant and efficient. I’ve never had a bad meal here and I heartedly recommend Original Joes for any group with a celiac or gluten sensitive member

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was great! It was an older gluten free menu and the item I wanted was not listed (it is on the web site) so they checked and were able to make it. Even had gluten free soy sauce for the table. Husband had a burger and it was amazing gluten free bun. Lots of options but be aware it's a shared fryer so wings and fries are a no go

I am a symptomatic Celiac, and we had a gift card that needed to be used.

We (3 people, I am the only celiac) ordered burgers/sandwiches.

Celiac (burger, GF Bun, mashed potatoes (no gravy etc) Second burger , onion rings, poutine Nashville chicken sandwich , fries and onion rings.

Food quality was good, nothing wrong with it.

I explained I was celiac with a gluten allergy, talked about CC for the kitchen, and confirmed the MP with no gravy were ok. Food arrives, they put the regular burger with the mashed potatoes , and the GF burger with the poutine/onion rings. When I kindly explained that I could not just switch the burgers due to my allergy they were good and whisked it away to remake - I was assured that the sides would be new and the burger would be remade as well.

Arrived correctly the second time and despite my worries , I did not react and experienced no glutening symptoms.

Review - you can eat there but be diligent about ordering with clear communication and ensure that the order is correct before consuming. The staff was very good and swiftly had it corrected.

Not sure how often I would eat here (again we were using a GC) but they do have options available.

Went there 2 nights in a row for a work trip and the experience depends on the server. GF options are clearly noted on the menu and one of the server's brother is celiac, so she knew what was GF and what wasn't. They were able to bake wings for GF, she checked which flavors could be GF and which ones were dairy free and she even checked that the alcohol in my drink was GF.

I had their west coast chop salad with chicken and without the toasted chickpeas. I loved it! Delicious dressing, it was fresh and very tasty. I had no problem with cross contamination. My server was very helpful and celiac aware. Highly recommend.

There are a few gluten free options on the menu. However, I ended up getting sick even after telling the waitress about my intolerance; so, would not recommend for celiacs.
