Delicious (cold) salads made for you Can make your own selections or order a prepared salad (Ty Cobb, Edgar Allen Poe, etc.). Salad dressings are marked GF but prepared selections are not. One server was GF knowledgeable; the other was not.

This place is so good! We go 2-3 times a month. It was the first place I went after getting diagnosed.

All the seasonings and dressings are clearly labeled, and there’s SO MANY gluten free options. Very few items along the line even have gluten, so there’s very little risk of cross contamination. The staff is great about taking precautions. The southwestern Caesar is my husband’s favorite, and I alternate between the Pomona and Edgar Allen Poe. The dressing is so addictive that I had to get some for my house.

I have eaten here many times and have never gotten sick. Allergen info for dressings is visibly posted. Many soups are gluten free. I feel very safe eating here.

I get salads here often. They keep gluten containing items in a separate area from the veggies. Dressings are identified if GF on their menu.

I highly recommend pulling up they allergy information before ordering.

Unfortunately, I knew more based on the website than the girl behind the counter. She was very lost and was unsure how to respond to my questions or changing her gloves. Once I finally got her to change her gloves. It was an easy order as long as I used my notes. BUT, I did encounter another employee at the end that was very knowledgeable. I informed him that this was reassuring and maybe he could help the other lady understand its importance.

My salad was delicious and I did not get sick.

They have a great allergy list, but not careful about cross contamination.

I ordered online and specifically told them gluten free- pretty good tasting salad but most of the way through eating, i found a gluten crouton in my salad..

Great place to eat and was very knowledgeable with what was gluten free and what wasn't.

I ordered a gluten free (marked) salad. Half way through my salad, I found a crouton in my food! I complained to them and they were very understanding and made me a new one. I watched them very carefully the second time around. I will say, some areas where they have the food were a little messy and I could see how cross-contamination can occur pretty easily here. Unfortunately, within a couple of hours I felt quite sick. I will not be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great salad and bowls with so many gluten free options. Delicious!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AMAZING! I come here routinely. They have a wide selection of gluten free bowls and salads. Very very good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am Celiac and eat here frequently! Never have had any issues with being glutened. They are clean, and will take every precaution.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff is helpful and menu is clearly marked with gf items. There are only a few items in the menu that are not gf. The food is fresh and they will adjust the order if you ask them to do so. Very good place!

I am very sensitive and have never gotten sick here. Their menu is pretty easy to navigate, but they also have an excellent interactive menu on their website. You can choose your dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, etc.) and it will show you exactly what works for you. We have also found the staff to be knowledgeable and their prep procedure to be pretty safe at avoiding cross contamination. They make the food in front of you (think Subway or Chipotle style) and you can easily add or subtract items from the dishes, or create your own. They use a clean metal bowl to assemble the salads for each customer and there is an individual scoop in each ingredient. It’s one of those rare places where I feel like I can order like a “normal” person and don’t have to ask them a million questions to avoid being miserable later.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tell them you have a gluten allergy when you start going through the line and a single person will put your salad together and make sure nothing with gluten goes in.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost everything is gluten free. However steak and some dressings are not. I usually do a build your own bowl. They have a list of which dressings are gluten free right on the glass where they make the bowls. I’ve been to this location 5 or 6 times and never have gotten sick.

They have a nice selection of vegetables and protien. We were able to create our own salads and avoid gluten and dairy products. They do not offer gluten free bread.

The staff seemed to be knowledgeable but I still became very ill after eating here.

We have eaten here 3 times and every time has been delicious! Everything is fresh and high quality. Place was clean. I highly recommend it for your next Salad.

They assured me all salads were gluten free. After I got sick I looked up the salad I had and sure enough the dressing and meat marinade had gluten. Not going back

Celiac friendly?

No

Lots of options and had an board hung up for customers to see what contained gluten and other allergens

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Granted I visited when it wasn't busy, but the workers took extreme care. Instead of taking ingredients out of the normal containers, the worker went into the back and used entirely new batches of the different ingredients. Most of their dressings are GF!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Got sick two times in a row after having one of the GF bowls.

Great--I eat here weekly and the staff is educated about cross contamination.

I have celiac disease. They use a clean bowl everytume they make a salad, and the person making my salad washed her hands without me even asking. You can look on their website on their allergy menu and choose no gluten and it will tell you what you can eat. I had the Pomona salad and it was really tasty. I had no issues at all.

Many choices gluten-free. Staff very knowledgeable. Great salads.

Ordered a salad and found a pasta piece. Don't bother

I have eaten here many times and never had a gluten contamination! I love MAD greens!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good salads. Possibility of cross contamination, but I had no problems.

GF soup was delicious! My salad was good too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a whole allergy selection online and things are labeled GF on the menu

Delicious, fresh, flavorful, healthy options and friendly staff.

Delicious! Rated no on celiac friendly because of shared kitchen. I've only ordered salads so far but I am celiac and haven't had any issues.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place is AMAZING! Lots of made from scratch gf dressings. Citrus chicken is to die for. I have celiac with a very high allergy & have NOT gotten sick from any MADGreens locations on the east side. I eat here a couple times a week!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is a good place for gluten free & Lactose free salads.

Gluten info was clearly posted. The staff was knowledgeable about what was gluten free, even when it was not posted.

My visit was in March 2016 -- the employee I worked with seemed well-trained in cross-contamination issues, and the salad I had was simple but tasty and safe.

salad and fresh juice. the juice is made of fresh ingredients and nothing in a bottle. the cups they use are recycled plant material. Great salads!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great salads with plenty of options. Dressings are clearly labeled . (Would suggest the red pepper one)

In regards to the previous review, there aren't very many gluten ingredients to have cross contamination. Obviously it's possible, but unless you are hyper sensitive, you should be fine. (Do any restaurants really "guarantee" you won't have issues?) My sister and I (both celiacs) had no problems.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
