Staff prepared my GF sub in a separate area. They washed they hands and used new gloves prior. The Udi's bread isn't great, but it's bread! Next time I'll opt for a salad.

I have been here once when I was in town for a work thing and needed a quick lunch nearby. Staff has procedure to wipe down meat slicer, use separate work area for a GF order, bread is opened from a sealed package, and only one person works on your order. I felt safe eating it and didn’t react afterwards. The wipe down of the meat slicer didn’t seem very thorough though and I’m not sure if they use some sort of food safe disinfectant or just a wet rag, but I’m not sure how clean you can really get shared equipment anyhow. I might eat here again, but it certainly wouldn’t be my first choice in Mankato.
$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.
