This location carries gluten-free sub rolls which taste great. Sadly most employees aren't aware of, or aren't concerned about cross-contamination. (Which is very obvious as you can watch what is happening as your sandwich is made). If you have celiac you will need to avoid this location until they change their current practices. I've gotten glutened at this location more than once even after making requests to not put the GF bread on the cutting board full of regular bread (current practice I've seen), after asking that they use foil before putting gf rolls directly on the oven rack where regular bread typically is etc...gloves aren't changed when making GF sandwiches from what I've seen, so I am guessing utensils aren't either.

I've had good luck at Firehouse ordering a GF turkey bacon ranch sub. They ask if I have an allergy and change their gloves.

I visited this location today and the person who waited on me began preparing my sub on a bread crumb covered cutting board and used the same knife he had used for regular bread and then put the gf bun in the toaster right on the shared grate. When I said something to him, he had no idea about protocol and another worker informed me that the owner told them they don’t have to do anything special anymore for GF orders. They kindly refunded my money, but I won’t go back. Definitely use caution if you order from here.

They have gf buns(Shar) which were good toasted. No sides except chips but great place to stop for a quick bite while traveling

When they have the GF bun it is a great option for something fast. If you ask they will put foil on the toaster and change gloves etc. they mark the GF items too.
