The gluten free sandwich I had was amazing! However, they do give you a warning that it is NOT celiac friendly and there is a high chance of cross contamination. I tried it out and unfortunately got sick after. If you are celiac, don’t take the risk.

LOVE this place! Can get any sandwich on gluten free bread. And the sweet tea is wonderful My only complaint is that the grilled sandwiches aren't quite grilled long enough. But regardless, I eat here fairly regularly when I need a sandwich fix.

UPDATE: There was a point last year that they stopped serving gluten free bread but the manager fought for us and they brought it back!

AMAZING. And kids meals were all only $3.99 and not charged extra for gluten free! Then they gave us free desserts for being first time customers!

Newer location with indoor and outdoor (both covered & uncovered) seating. Offer GF bread. The BLTA is a good choice. Both nachos are legal as long as you omit chili. Top with grilled chicken or the ham are both good substitutes. Most of the potatoes are legal, except for the one with beefsteak.

I called this restaurant to see if they had gluten-free available. They said they have gluten-free bread, but none of their deli meat is gluten-free. That does not make sense to me!

I had a gluten free sandwich and the bread was good. It was soft and didn’t fall apart. There also salads and baked potatoes that are gluten free. The menu has an icon to show which items are gluten free. None of the soups or desserts are gluten free, sadly.
