I must admit, I didn’t expect much in terms of gluten competence walking into Souplantation. However, I was pleasantly surprised! “Gluten friendly” options were clearly and readily labeled. I steered clear of “riskier” choices like the GF muffins, but I made myself a salad and a baked potato with toppings, neither of which got me sick. It is definitely possible to eat here while gluten free.

I had a good meal here! The salad bar is large, they have gluten free dressings, the croutons are away from the veggies, so I felt there was less chance of getting Glutened by them. I had a baked sweet potato, some vegetable soup, and a really yummy lemon muffin that was gluten free. I felt fine afterward, so I would go here again!

Clearly labeled “Gluten Friendly” on the salad bar and beyond. Surprised by the choices extended to GF! Even had a muffin with my soft serve. Be cautious of cross contamination with the tongs though!

They have a brochure or pamphlet with nutritional information. You just have to ask for it.. Some locations know exactly what you talking about and others may not. (At least in my experience). I now know the items I can have and my "go to" items. The ranch is GF! That was surprising to me but made me a happy camper. ;) They are doing more to cater to GF. Of course if you are ultra sensitive and have celiac there is going to be possibility with cross contamination but that's the gamble with dining out unfortunately.

Souplantation is a great place to eat for healthy options! BUT if you're GF you're navigating it blindly. Their salad bar has high cross contamination possibility. And their "fun" foods (after the salad bar) are not labeled to know if things are safe to eat (GF).

They always have a gluten free muffin and chili. Most often have a soup. Almost everything on the salad bar is gluten free. Good healthy food for a reasonable price.

Love the salad & chili!!! With that $10 coupon (including drink) it can’t be beat.... everything is clearly labeled. I don’t eat any of the processed salads though, other than the broccoli. I do eat the GF muffins but reach way to the back where the new ones are & use a knife to grab them.😊

They once offered GF pasta cooked to order but no longer do . Their items are not GF - unless you had a regular salad although celiacs beware that they don’t do anything in regards to preparation to prevent cross contamination.They offer GF but it’s “ Gluten Friendly” they use the same serving tongs and muffins for instance are set directly next to reg muffins where public share the tongs as well . Paying what they want to have 1 soup or chili if any and a salad not being gluten aware isn’t worth the risk. I’m pretty disappointed . Have been cross contaminated to many times here .

No comprehension of what it means to be a Celiac at this place. If you must be GF do not go here.
