Gluten-Free at Souplantation

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.😊

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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 .

Celiac friendly?

No

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

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent GF options. Great salad bar with all GF items clearly marked. Chili is always available and GF. Usually there is 1 or 2 additional GF soups too. Always a GF muffin available and they are super tasty. We love the ice cream dessert too.

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten there several times, but I stick to the salad with vinegar and oil only. The last time, I added a sweet potato. I am a sensitive celiac and I have had no issues, but I stay away from anything which may be risky.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I appreciated that the restaurant included the tag "gluten friendly" on specific dishes. Their featured salad was displayed with an ingredient list, and you can observe the employees actually make the salad. I noticed that the pre-mized salad toppings were pre-cut in the kitchen and stored in tupperware. There plenty of naturally GF options in the salad bar, and two GF soups. They even had gluten free muffins! Unfortunately I cannot speak to the level of celiac safety; I felt tired after my meal, but have not had any severe reactions.

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place. Gluten friendly options are clearly marked and delicious.

They have lots of gluten free options and things are clearly marked. It is buffet style with non-gluten free items. I stayed away from things that looked liked they could of been cross contaminated (someone got messy when grabbing pasta). I did not have a problem eating there and plan on going back (I loved the lemon muffins!)

Daughter got sick. Salad bars are not a good option for people with allergies.

I loved the fresh salad and gluten free chili. Baked potatoes are available if you want something more substantial. I had no adverse reaction to my meal, but it is a buffet so cross contamination will be a risk.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten at multiple Souplantations. I stick to the salads, chili, and baked potato/sweet potato station. Because there’s a fairly big cross contamination risk, I avoid the baked goods as I’m celiac. However, I’ve never had an issue here getting sick.

Good for soups and salads but stay away from the baked goods “”gluten friendly” cross contaminated with all other baked goods.

First, we are not from here...so I was expecting more of a Jason's Deli vibe...this is a massive buffet with a very long salad bar, soups, potatoes, pastas,and baked goods. Buffet and Celiac sets off bells for me, not the good kind. There is all sorts of XC going on here. Croutons next to sunflower seeds, dressings in back of and dripping into other dressings, soups and shared spoons. In their favor, its all labeled "gluten friendly" (not to digress, but it should be gluten UNfriendly, or UNgluten friendly). I did okay...so they must be doing something okay. I did stay away from the cheese that had an oyster cracker in it...and anything close to questionable ingredients. So....not SUPER satisfying...but I got to make my plate, versus whatever mysterious thing that happens to my food in a kitchen. Also, one other complaint...out of 8 soups, only the chili was GF. What are you doing to the tomato basil? Or even the clam chowder?

Celiac friendly?

No

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

gluten and dairy(vegan) clearly labeled, I'm a new celiac and I feel safe eating here.

Absolutely love the gluten free options of salads, soups, muffins and soft serve ice cream! Everything is clearly marked, fresh and tasty! Also, a great value. The staff is very friendly too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pros: They have a lot of options in the salad bar that are naturally gluten free and keep everything organized and clean. They al2ays have "gluten friendly" soup and bread options as well as a potato bar.

Cons: They label items with no gluten containing ingredients "gluten friendly" not gluten free and have a disclaimer about possible cross contamination.

Bottom line: There are options that are tasty and I have never gotten sick there but I am non-Celiac gluten sensitive.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not for celiacs. Terrible cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Coeliac Friendly to me! I visited last night with friends here. I'm a kiwi (NZ) so was a little overwhelmed to begin with. Was given a list of goods on the menu that were GF. Had a lovely meal with no after effects. (was a little worried about cross contamination possibilities)Would definitely visit again. Thank you.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

love when they have gf muffins! not too many other options as far as other hot food. chili is gf, a lot of salad dressing options and the ice cream

I have never gotten sick from eating items labeled 'gluten-friendly' , labels are extremely helpful :-)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There's little protection against cross contamination. Labels are "gluten friendly," not gluten-free. While I appreciate their honesty in their open disclosure, this really isn't safe for celiac

Celiac friendly?

No

There is a lot of potential for cross contamination. The gluten free pasta is right next to the regular pasta (and one regular pasta piece was in it). People touch the tongs to food on their plate that has gluten etc. I stick to the items before the pasta and a baked potato and a gluten free soup - and I've been ok!

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff at this location is very knowledgeable and friendly regarding dietary concerns. Although I have several friends with celiac who have eaten here without any issues, I am going to say it is not celiac friendly because the corporate policy states that they only serve gluten-friendly items made in a non-gf kitchen. GF items clearly marked in all areas of this buffet-style restaurant with new gluten free options every two weeks. They have a Fresh Ideas blog to keep consumers informed about what will be available. Some of my favorites have been gluten-free lemon cupcakes, gluten free french bread, and gluten free cookies. Delicious!

Celiac friendly?

No

I have Celiac and it was great to see that the food that was gluten friendly was marked. I will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

yummy all the time .... then mow label GF friendly and havr gluten free muffins at times ... check website to see if they have gf muffins available

This was always a go-to place for my family, but in the past few months they have become so much more gluten friendly. They have recently labeled all of their food items, including salad dressings, so it is very clear which ones are gluten free. For the first time, 1 of the 3 pre-made salads are gluten-free, and I am hoping this continues to be the case. The chili is currently the only soup that is gluten free; however, i appreciate that they now have a gluten free muffin on the permanent menu it seems, and they are actually really good!! My husband and kids, who aren't gluten intolerant, love the gf muffins too!

very few gf options. last time I visited I asked what if any soups were gf. I waited 10 Minutes for the lady to come back and tell me that only the potato barley soup was gf....ummmmm.... barley. .. really! Used to go weekly, won't be going back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not many options & too high of a risk of cross-contamination both in the kitchen and at salad bar, soup bar, etc.

Celiac friendly?

No

There was only 1 soup that was gluten free, the chili. The muffins that were labeled gluten-friendly were in fact gluten filled muffins. There were oats on the top and when we inquired to make sure the IATA they were using gluten free, the staff said they were not oats but chia seeds. There's a big difference between oats and chia seeds. There's is a real nice salad buffet offering and a make your own baked potato area.

Celiac friendly?

No

Cross contamination. Not Celiac safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

GF ranch!!!!! Yum! Best ever! They will totally tell you every ingredient if you ask. Super fresh every time. I gave been going since I was little and have never been disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is the only place/chain with a buffet I trust. Tons of gf salad dressings. I only trust the salads, not the hot food. There was a gf muffin option but it was right next to the gluten muffins :(

Totally awesome. Gluten free muffins most of the times. So inexpensive for so much food! The complete buffet experience, you can go back and back and back for as much food as you want for only a small fee!!!!!

This location is completely oblivious to what GF even means/is. If it wasn't for the corporate website having which monthly specials are gluten free, I usually would have to ask them for the ingredients list for everything bc no one knows off the top of their heads which items are GF. And on top of all of that, they can impatient/weird when u ask for the ingredients or allergy information. I usually have chili and lots of salad (obviously since it's a hug salad bar). Luckily I can have the frozen yogurt dessert! But it's a tease when they walk around giving fresh baked cookies and you can't have it :/

Celiac friendly?

I found very little I could eat. Salad of course, but other than split pea soup and a potato, I was hard pressed to find anything.

Celiac friendly?

No

Souplantation is my family's favorite restaurant. For the price you can't beat the variety and quality. However, I REALLY would like to see them add more GF items. They've made some additions recently and all of their salad dressings are GF, but usually most of the soups are not, and you can never go near the pasta, pizza, or bread items. There's still enough there to make a full meal but it gets kind of old getting the same things every time- salad, chili, potato...
