It’s a small, kind of hole in the wall place so be prepared to wait for a table or take it to go. It’s worth it though. They can put any sandwich on gluten free bread and you can see them making your sandwich for anyone that feels unsure. They also have salads and other options. Not sure if their sides are gluten free as I did not ask but some obviously are not (like pasta salad). I had the Pig N Fig sandwich and my husband had the short rib grilled cheese (both hot sandwiches on gluten free bread). Both were delicious! Favorite was the short rib grilled cheese. Did not get sick and will go back again!

GF bread option. We ordered the pulled pork with fig jelly minus cheese and it was delicious. Also got a green goddess wrap on GF bread--Good as well. Not sure how allergy friendly the kitchen is so if you need to be seriously careful I would inquire.

I wondered how good this place could really be after reading these reviews. I waited in a long line and couldn't grab a seat, but goodness that was the best sandwich I've EVER had. I ordered the short rib grilled cheese and it was absolutely phenomenal! Totally worth the wait!

Great sandwich options here. If your wanting a good gluten free deli sandwich and you are in Charleston, I'd come here. I just only wish the bread was bigger.

Very delicious and friendly! Open air dining was enjoyable. I ordered the apple "butter" jean sandwich on the gluten free bread and was extremely pleased. They used Udi's thick-sliced bread for their sandwiches. The flavors were great . I highly recommend this place!

Took great care of my gluten free requirements. Just mentioned I was celiac and the staff knew right away what to do. Grilled sandwiches are cooked in a separate pan with great care.

We sat down before "regular" customers who were served before us because the staff was making our food safely. I was very impressed with the staff and quality of my meal. Dining with celiac is always so scary, but the staff made me feel comfortable. I'm glad they took their time to make my food the right way, even though they were busy. Separate facilities are used, and the cook staff wash their hands and change their gloves when handling gluten free meals. Thank you, Brown Dog! I will definitely be back.

Food was delicious (grilled cheese on GF bread). Staff was incredibly nice-- as soon as I mentioned I was celiac waitress said the cook would change gloves, clean grill, etc (and from my table I could see him doing it). Great experience.

The GF sandwich my husband ate was very good. I had a vegan sloppy joe, which was also good. The sides of broccoli salad and coleslaw made the meal exceptional.

I had the best sandwich of my life here! They were also very accommodating to my son with celiac. They happily told him they would carefully clean the grill before cooking his sandwich and would make sure no cross contamination occurred. We will definitely return.

NO separate cook area. Cooked my sandwich right next to a hoagie roll. Luckily they were slow so I saw them cook mine. Super friendly staff, would recommend for a nonceliac only!

We asked how they managed cc and the waitress immediately said... You guys must be Celiacs no problem we have a separate prep area and we will take care of you... It was music to my ears :) the Reuben was fantastic!

We ate here twice on vacation. My daughter (celiac) had a gf hot dog and fries (dedicated fryer). GF bread available for all sandwiches. Sandwiches are all so delicious...fun twists on your typical choices!

They have many unique options though most had cheese. The Pig n Fig was delicious. The service was solid. It is quite popular and there aren't many tables, so expect a bit of a wait.

I've used this app for a few years but never posted. The Brown Dog Deli was so legit I had to create my account. The Cuban sandwich was seriously the best sandwich I've ever had. line out the door and a 30 minute wait well worth it.

OMG, are you serious? This place is amazing! The sandwiches are crazy delicious and they easily accommodate allergies. It was so good that as soon as we finished one we ordered another. Amazing. Don't let the casual atmosphere fool you. This guys are legit!

this place touted gluten free and while the selection for gluten free was excellent they did not deliver, was sick for 2 days after on my vacation due to not being gluten free as promised. food was very expensive, $12 for chips, sandwich with udis bread and a fountain drink and it took 45 minutes to get it(and i ordered it to go).

Lots of options as far as sandwiches and you would have never known the bread was GF I was even able to dip it into Au jus without complete disintegration which was miraculous also you should try the sweet potato salad 😄

Absolutely delicious! Nearly everything on the menu can be made gluten free, and have a very knowledgeable staff. Some of the best, and reasonably priced food in Charleston

When I asked for a gluten free menu (per the description on here), the waitress said, "uh we have gluten free bread." My confidence was further deflated when I got a blank stare after I asked for the Jamaican chicken wrap to be deconstructed, without cheese and on a plate. We made it through ordering, I received the food as requested and had no reaction.

So nice to be able to enjoy a real sandwich! The bread was as close to "real" bread as I have ever had!

We had a great lunch here today! Our six year old daughter has celiac and we were in town for the day. We found Brown Dog Deli on this website and trusted the reviews. So glad we did! Delicious food and great service! We'll definitely be back next time we're in Charleston.

I had the pig and fig on gluten free and it was awesome! I wish I lived here I think I would come back every week!

Just tell them you have Celiac, and you are good to go. Almost everything can be made gluten free since they have gluten free bread.

This place knows how to make a sandwich!!! Wow!!! You know someone is skilled when they can 'rock' Udi's bread! We couldn't tell it was Udi's --- great portions and cool atmosphere! We would highly recommend this place especially for families. Food was amazing! Didn't expect it to be that good!

Great food, very reasonable prices and friendly/attentive waitstaff. I ordered the Knuckle Sandwich (on GF bread) with a side of broccoli salad and both were incredibly delicious. My kids were equally pleased with their GF kids meal sandwiches (portions were generous for a child). Worth the minimal wait to be seated, I would not hesitate to come here again.

From the time I entered until I was full from my delicious lemon and ginger chicken burger with a yummy side of broccoli salad Abby was very knowledgeable and helpful.

The Brown Dig Deli was an awesome experience for this celiac diagnosed 20 years ago! I had a simply delicious grilled cheese and ham sandwich with a side of potato salad and experienced NO dietary issues! There were many other options available as well. My only disappointment was the lack of Gluten Free hot dog buns, because I had my heart set on a chili- cheese dog. They could also stock a GF potato chip! I will definitely recommend this to my GF friends and eat there when I visit Charleston again!

The Brown Dog Deli offers a huge selection of gourmet sandwiches most of which can be enjoyed on Udi's gluten free multigrain bread (a HUGE bonus for those of us who are Celiac). I had the PBR sandwich - it was AWESOME! I am definitely coming back to try different sandwiches in the future!!

Best sandwich ever!! They serve Udis GF bread... I had Wackie Jackie serve us and she was delightful and knowledge. Recommended the Apple Butter Jeans sandwich. Toasted GF bread. So good. The atmosphere is perfect and the staff friendly and the GF and regular food (according to the rest of my party) is excellent.

My family of 5- 2 Celiac, 2 Vegetarian, 1 Celiac Vegetarian- all ate well here! Many, many options, including sandwiches and wraps- all safe. The Chef works out in the open and is knowledgable. It was very nice to find an inexpensive restaurant that I felt comfortable eating in.

The friendly chef told me they use Udi's for the bread, and he loves how easy it is to work with - and most of the meats and cheeses are gf from Boar's Head. Loved the Italian sandwich I had!
