Jason's Deli

Been here a few times and have not gotten sick! Staff do acknowledge a potential for cross contamination, but they take precautions to try to keep everything safe. I would avoid the salad bar, but the sandwiches were safe for me. They also have GF snickerdoodles at the counter that are delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

While these guys admit they can't do a totally gf environment (I mean, it is a sandwich joint!) they do an excellent job of minimizing risk in the environment as best they can. They change gloves, use packaged chips instead of the same ones the gluten people get, and they try to minimize how much contact your sandwich gets at the counter. If you call or visit you can get additional options for your sandwich beyond what's on the gf menu on their website - I am fond of their salami sandwich and the California Club.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not for celiacs. The menu from the counter had a warning on it that it's for "gluten sensitive" individuals only that avoid gluten for dietary reasons, and is not intended for those with celiac disease. Tried a gluten free sandwich anyways and the sandwich came wrapped with a sticker also listing the same warning. Nuff said, won't be coming back.

Celiac friendly?

No

I got a sandwich with GF bread from Udi. It was delicious and very much a deli sandwich. Don’t get your bread toasted as it goes thru the same heating element as everything else. They were honest & told me that and it was much appreciated. I just had non-toasted bread.

Update: my daughter is having horrible abdominal cramps 24 hours after eating here (a symptom of being glutened for her). We will not be back. Original: A little concerned... we have eaten here before and had good experiences, but today there appeared to be minimal knowledge of the GF menu and was told that they didn’t know of things were safe or if things could be made GF. They were unable to tell me which sides were safe. Seems like we previously had more options. Disappointing.

Very dirty, did not order. Service was very bad. Did not trust cross-contamination would be prevented.

I had the BEST experience today at Jason’s Deli. I’m one month into my celiac diagnosis and when I asked them if I could learn more about their gluten free process just to be sure I can eat here before ordering, Jeremy (the staff member) answered every question I asked and reassured me that they take gluten-free very seriously. In fact, They mark on the kitchen ticket “CHANGE GLOVES!! GLUTEN FREE”. Also, I watched them take out a large flat container that has latches on the sides, they unlatch the container and inside is a gluten free designated work space (gf cutting board and gf knife!) that is completely sealed off to air when not in use! They made my whole sandwich in this container and the best part— not one of the employees looked annoyed or inconvenienced. They were all helpful, triple checking everything they did, and even asking me if I could have certain things they weren’t sure of! I’m glad to know this option is out there for Celiac or NCGS folks. Thank you Jason’s Deli, you guys are amazing.
