They have Gluten Free Bread! The salads are HUGE!! Just don't forget to say, "no croutons." I love their Arnold Palmers! Lemonade + Sweet Iced Tea=Heaven.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was well versed in gluten sensitivity/celiac. As it is a common kitchen , I order what is safest for me so I ordered a baked potato and vetted out the loaded ingredients and the best I could. Everything was fine. The food was delicious and I had no problems.

This location went above and beyond to prevent cross contamination. They changed their gloves, cleaned the cook space, use new cooking utinsels, and even changed their aprons when the made my meal. I felt so safe eating there! The GF bread was really soft, tasty, and didn't fall apart.

Gluten free items are marked on the menu and the person who took my order noted the gluten allergy on my order. I got the club on gf bread and a baked potato. The food was good and I didn’t get sick.

I went a few times when this location first opened and ended up sick each time (ordered a baked potato-gluten free). I’ve never had an issue at another location. I haven’t been back since, so order with caution.
