I just landed after flying into Tulsa on a Monday night, it was after 9 PM, and few places were open. I put an order in on their app, sandwich on gluten free bread, side salad, and drink. I arrived about 15 minutes before close, and it was just coming out of the kitchen. There were a large number of orders coming from the kitchen, and they were busy for a Monday night near closing time. My order was spot-on, and I’ve never had a problem with McAlister’s. Every store I’ve been to (and I travel a lot) seems to have consistent training and procedures. Use the app. It lists everything that goes onto each sandwich, and you can customize every detail, not just gluten free bread.

They have GF bread now. My daughter and I both enjoyed our club!

They put broccoli soup in my nachos. They put my sandwich in the Panni maker.

I’ve eaten at McAlister’s dozens of times. I steer towards the sandwiches and ask for gf bread. The Sandwiches are always generous portions and are pretty tasty.

They usually ask if it is an allergy or a preference, of course the only answer is “unfortunately it is an allergy.” If they don’t ask I mention it’s an allergy, to make sure it is handled properly. I’ve not had a reaction here that I can remember.

YMMV. But they have been a pretty reliable restaurant for me.

I have had more consistency and awareness of cross contamination at this location. Ask to see if Honey is working when you come because she is the very best and will take care of you herself!

Update March 2025: This has become one of our favorite restaurants! Inexpensive and great food, with zero issues after trying 3 different sandwiches. Original review: GF bread for sandwiches. Apparently, all sandwiches can be made GF. Menu marked for other GF options. I had an Italian sandwich with their potato chips and a pickle with no problem. Food is real good, but a little pricey for what it is. Will definitely go back though.

My boyfriend has celiac disease and I have an allergy to bay leaves and am gluten intolerant. He went into McAllister’s and asked about all of the allergies, cross-contamination, food options, etc.

Soups are marked online as gluten free but are not actually gluten free as they are made with wheat tortillas. I had asked for the potato soup and it technically isn’t gluten free.

They do offer gluten free bread and will take safety precautions for cross-contamination with gluten if you state you have an allergy!

Gluten free bread available for sandwiches and the baked potatoes are also gluten free! Quite extensive menu, most of the deli meats are gluten free as well. Can’t have soup or the nachos because the nachos have chili on them, but there is still quite a variety of options including the chicken plain nachos with the side of queso. They have a pick two option where you can get a half sandwich and a loaded baked potato and you can choose gluten free bread for that as well. My mom with celiac has never had a reaction from eating here.
