Absolutely loved it here! I got a smash burger on gluten free bread - bread was a good size and didn’t fall apart (didn’t have burger buns but the quality of the gluten free bread definitely more than makes up for it). Definitely give the flavor and quality a 10/10! Staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination as well, will definitely be back here! All of their sides other than the Mac and cheese are gluten free too!

My friend has celiac disease. We went to hatch together and when she asked for gluten free bread, they asked “allergy or sensitivity?” When she said allergy, they said they were really glad that they still had some gluten free bread because sometimes they run out. My friend really enjoyed her sandwich contents and the gluten free bread was awesome for her.

Ordered the turkey melt sandwich (minus tomatoes and garlic aouli in place of the red pepper aouli). It was incredible! Best sandwich I've ever had! The sweet potato fries were phenomenal too. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. My mom, who is also GF, had the Thanksgiving sandwich and also said it was the best sandwich she's ever had. We'll definitely be back when we come to NC to visit family!

Delicious. Server was knowledgeable and friendly. All sandwiches can be made gluten free and they have a dedicated fryer for their sweet potato fries. I had the thanksgiving sandwich and it was worthy of its name because I was stuffed!

Fantastic GF sandwiches! Had the sweet potato fries as a special of the day menu item and they were hands down the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had. I am very sensitive to cross contamination and had no issues! I think nearly every item can be made GF. New favorite spot!

Absolute favorite sandwich shop. Live about an hour away and try to make the drive as often as possible. No up charge for gluten free, the owner is very knowledgeable about celiac and cooks gluten free in a separate area.

This was a surprisingly pleasant little find! It looks questionable at first because it’s more of a deli style place. Lots of sandwich options - it seems many of them are able to be gluten free. I felt comfortable when I asked and they did indicate they can prep in a separate area. I had a turkey, cheese, aioli, tomato sandwich which was grilled. Bread was ok, but felt safe - no question if it was gluten free in comparison to other bread. No reaction, no issues. They confirmed gluten free when they brought it out. I’d eat there again for sure! It was really good.

So glad I found this place! They are very accommodating for gluten free. You can have any of the sandwiches with gluten free bread and almost all of the sides are GF. I got a burger with a side salad. Also got to enjoy a cold cider that was very tasty. Staff was very knowledgeable and I had no reaction. Food was excellent.

Ate here when passing through and got a turkey reuben on gf bread with a delicious gf cider. Asked the counter staff about precautions and she quickly informed me they "take all precautions", change gloves, prepare in a clean area and toast the sandwich on a tray to prevent cross contamination. My lunch was very good and the staff was wonderful!

Great experiences! Been a regular for years. They don't have specific items marked, but basically anything on their menu can be made gluten free as long as you ask. One time, they had a special that wasn't gluten free and the owner made a special version that was gluten free so that way I could have it. They ask if they need to switch gloves. I am unsure if they make it on a separate surface, but I've never had an issue with cross contamination here. I'd say talk to the chef as they're very accommodating

Always delicious and very knowledgeable about gluten-free/celiac. They change gloves and cutting boards if you state it is an allergy.

Wonderful option when in Hickory. They know how to handle the food - gloves, clean area, etc. The sandwich was devine and HUGE! Been a long time since I've had a really good sandwich like the ones at Hatch. I had the Bahn Mi - really good flavors. I also had the sauteed brussel sprouts with maple syrup - enough for two meals! I will be back. I'm very sensitive to cross contamination and had no reactions.
