McAlister's Deli

The staff was definitely knowledgeable about gluten free food and when I asked for gluten free bread and ordered chili they informed me that the normal chili was not gluten free and offered me the vegitarian chili in its place. In all, this is a good place for people with gluten intolerance to eat

Celiac friendly?

Yes

gluten free bread for any of their sandwiches!

This location only had an allergen list when I asked for the menu. (though I later found a gluten sensitive menu on their website.) I was told that they had gluten free bread and they could make any sandwich with it. I was given the allergen list when I asked if any soups were gluten free. I was feeling very rushed to order as you order at the register and there were others behind me in line. I was not really thinking and ordered an open face sandwich on gluten free bread that had gravy on it. (obviously, I know gravy isn't gluten free, but as I said I wasn't thinking and was feeling rushed to order.) No one knew or mentioned about the gluten in the gravy being poured over the gluten free bread. When food was delivered, I realized what a huge mistake I had made, but also knew that is what I ordered, so it really wasn't their fault. As I am not celiac, I decided to eat it and suffer rather than waste my money and time and food. Again, I am aware that it is my fault that I got "glutened" but clearly the staff is not aware of the needs of those who cannot eat gluten. (Still giving 3 stars as there is gluten free bread, and it was decent. but definitely not celiac friendly.)

Celiac friendly?

No

Great gluten free soup and sandwich options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

They are willing to change gloves when handling gf sandwich bread. Always our go to place!

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.
