McAlister's Deli

Celiacs reading this understand that the best way to test out a restaurant on their celiac-friendliness is to call ahead, and upon hearing a lot of "uh" or "um," to go somewhere else. I was glad to not encounter that here, but... The person answering the phone, who I won't name because he tried his best, was not familiar with celiac (or gluten, other than the term "gluten-free bread") and asked the manager, as one would expect. The manager couldn't be bothered to come to the phone, but the person answering told me that while they had gluten-free bread, they had nothing gluten-free to put on the bread to constitute a sandwich. So if you're using this app, expect to be offered plain bread at this place. The manager can't manage to want our business. So 3/5 stars because the person answering the phone was friendly and really did try, even though the manager was zero help other than helping me decide where not to eat.

The one on Gunbarrel has gf bread for sandwiches. They checked sauces when I asked.

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.

Absolutely amazing. They asked if it were an allergy or preference and when I told them I had celiacs they immediately told the kitchen. These sandwiches are amazing. The bread is so good. Highly recommended.
