When traveling, I look for JM’s. This location had an additional slicer and cooler where they made my sandwich. Then they brought it back up front to get toppings.
Yes
We ate a Jersey Mike’s recently while on a road trip in Iowa and they were awesome (cleaned the slicer, changed gloves, prepared in a separate area, etc). I was very excited because I knew there was a Jersey Mike’s near my house that I had just never tried and now I would have a new option for a quick meal while out and about. Went into this one in Bellevue and were told “we offer the gluten free bun but we aren’t gluten free because it’s on the slicer and made in the same area, so it’s probably only about 95% gluten free”. NO attempt at accommodation, so definitely NOT SAFE for Celiac. So disappointed.
No
$2.50 extra for gluten-free bread. Sandwiches are good. They were pretty good with precautions. Still, if I were super sensitive, I’d be worried about the amount of wheat flour crumbs floating around.

Service took a while. I ordered ahead of time even. I waited around 15 minutes once I arrived and was told it would take longer because of my allergy. Overall bread was hard and fell apart while eating it.

I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to get a gf sub. They asked allergy or preference, wiped down the counter, put down paper, used a clean knife, changed gloves, and were cool about grabbing toppings from the back. They even moved the sandwich to fresh paper at the end of the line instead of wrapping in the paper that had sat on crumbs. Altogether I was impressed! At most locations I have to correct things as I go down the line, but the two staff who interacted with me here seemed very well trained on gf protocols.

They ask if you have an allergy or preference when it comes to the gluten free bread. After stating I have an allergy they cleaned the slicer, the counter, and all of the staff switched gloves. A new employee had accidentally used the mayo knife so they gave me new bread and then they use the squeeze bottle of mayo to prevent cross contamination. Everyone was very friendly, understanding, and aware of how to handle my allergy.

Amazing processes and protocols for safe handling of gluten free sandwiches to avoid cross contact. They explained their protocol to me without me prompting or asking any leading questions, showing me that know how to prevent cross contact.
