Review of J.O.E. and POP's Sub Shoppe

So disappointed. Based on other reviews I thought this would be a place that was prepped for GF. Instead it was me sitting and watching 7 members of my family eat while I drank a Diet Dr. Pepper. I know you’ve been there if you have celiac.

I asked the woman at the register if they had a separate area where they prepared the gluten free food, she told me no, but they could change their gloves. This is a small kitchen with mostly sub options so there will be cross contamination if they prep it there. After I pressed, she did offer to put some wax paper down. With all the cross contamination that comes from gloves reaching into topping containers I figured a wrap...which is the only GF bread was not worth the risk.

I looked to the side menus and considered a salad. I asked a couple of questions and got the disconcerting answer...it’s only cabbage and the sauce, so it’s gluten free.

My family all had decent meals, with the winners being the non-gf bacon wrapped hot dog and the breaded wings...but I will never be back.
