I ordered the Big Blt Sandwich & I have to say it was good. I usually am picky with GF bread, but this was good! And usually other places charge excessive amounts of money to have the GF option. Will eat from there again !

They identify Gluten Free Options

I always get the HUGE stuffed baked potatoes. I tell them I have Celiac Disease. They know to change gloves typically. If not, I tell them, “with food allergies you need to put on new gloves”

I get 2 meals out of my stuffed potato so it makes it very affordable.

I am extremely sensitive with Cross Contamination. My Celiac Disease was misdiagnosed for 32 years. So, I am running to the restroom within 20 mins if I get any gluten cross contamination.

As with eating out anywhere, I do not go anywhere near a salad bar because customers always inadvertently cause cross contamination issues.

I have frequented this location a few times a year since they opened.

Enjoyed a gluten free California Club sandwich on Udis bread, with chips and pickle. They did ask if gluten allergy or preference. Charged 59 cents extra for GF bread. They do not have a gluten free toaster, would have given a higher score if they did. I did not have my sandwich toasted. Self service, free vanilla and chocolate soft serve after your meal is a nice bonus. They had a disclaimer on a sticker on sandwich wrap; they do not recommend for celiacs.

I'm so excited about GF chicken nuggets and snickerdoodles! Also, I was very happy to see they offered Udi's GF bread as an option for sandwiches. Well done, Jason's Deli!

Exceptional deli, well-trained staff. They usually ask if it's an allergy, if they don't then just tell them. They will change their gloves and not use the toaster etc. Good food. Get the California Club and hummus with blue chips!!! Don't forget the free ice cream, vanilla is better than chocolate here imo

WARNING TO CELIACS... There is occasionally some confusion on the bacon. It is not gluten free. Bacon is gluten free naturally but the device in which they cook it is shared with bread.

Great selection of GF items. Need more GF soups. Two GF soups from other locations not available here. They have improved cross contamination issues and I have never had a problem here. I am not Celiac or super-sensitive though. The menu disclaimer is standard legal boilerplate. They really are eager to help and I eat here often.

Contamination all over the food prep line! I watched them use the same knife they use on regular bread to put mayo on my gf bread.

I am super sensitive & have never gotten sick at this location. It is important that that they include the allergy designation on the order. I am super disappointed that the menu now says celiacs shouldn't eat at Jason's deli though.

We have eaten at Jason’s Deli successfully TWICE! The staff was very friendly & helpful. GF items are clearly marked on the menu AND there are a lot of options! As we were ordering, the employees got wind of a GF order coming, and one person (the one that would be preparing our food) started taking his gloves off, washing his hands, pulling out clean utensils & put on a new pair of gloves. The food was prepped on a stainless steel bar (not the regular deli bar) Even though the one employee was clearly ready for our order, the gentleman at the register STILL flagged our ticket as “GF take precaution”. The employee that prepared our food was the one that delivered it to our table. THANK YOU!! Now, having said all of that… the salad bar looks SO TEMPTING but we have never pushed our luck. Today, we seen a customer filling a to-go container (to the brim) & she was walking all over - back & forth adding to the salad with croutons & other gluten containing ingredients already on top of her salad. The tongs were touching them as she was adding items she had already passed up - 3 times. I would stay away from that. If you want a salad, they can make you a delicious one!

Have ordered numerous times both online and in person. Large selection and and customizable sandwiches. Never had any problems. My orders are always marked with a gluten free sticker. But if you are celiac, I would have concerns about some cross-contamination.

I was at a conference, and what they were serving was not gluten-free for lunch. I was able to make a quick order to Jason’s and just swing by and pick it up. Easy and safe gluten free food! They need to pick up super easy where we just called the number when we pulled up. I was back to the conference before anyone even realized we were gone.
