Great sandwiches. You can check with the staff which sandwiches are gluten free. Be sure to mention that it's a gluten "allergy" and not just a lifestyle choice, and they will have the kitchen change gloves and clean knives before preparing your sandwich. I just have them leave the sandwich whole so as to have one less thing you worry about. The Tony Soprano is my favorite with some Voodoo chips on the side.

It was really yummy, but I don’t think they gave me the gluten free bread I asked for as I got those familiar lethargic feelings after eating. I’m not normally impacted by cross contamination, so make sure you check on the bread before eating.

Great sandwiches on good bread. When I mentioned it was an allergy they took pains to mention to me what they did to limit cross contamination.

I haven't had a good sandwich in years, and thanks to this place I can have them all the time! The gluten free bread was crispy on the outside, but nice and soft and chewy on the inside, and just a little sweet. The ingredients in the sandwich were very fresh, and all the staff were super friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good gluten free sandwich.

I have gone to various Ike’s locations for years, and I am a sensitive Celiac. I have yet to get sick. They take extra precautions, so your food will take 15 extra minutes on top of a normal sandwich time. I recommend ordering in advance through the app or online. Also, the bread is incredibly dry, so order extra sauce on the bread. I normally order Italian dressing and ask it to be put on both sides of the bread before the toppings. It is a $3 upcharge for gluten free and then extra for the sauce, so know your sandwich will be pricey. So. Delicious. And. Worth it.

This is the best sandwich shop ever! While offering gluten free options for celiac, they also offer regular food. Staff is nice and organized. Food takes a little too long to prepare. But delicious. Definitely recommend.

Catered to my celiac properly. went and washed her hands and changed her gloves. Got the Matt Cain extra dirty with a rice crispy treat. With no reaction! Bread fell apart but that’s to be expected. Lots of options to choose from!
