I had their grilled cheese with GF bread and their tomato bisque (which is gf). I thought it was very good. I only do pick up orders so I’m not sure about service. I don’t get sick so I’m good with it.

They said they don’t prep any of the gluten free items separately. Staff seemed pretty unwilling to avoid cross contamination.

It's nice to have a gluten free sandwich instead of eating a salad all the time!

The Hot Springs, AR location has gluten free bread and they are knowledgeable about allergens. They make the sandwich on a separate board with new gloves. Other GF items are marked on the menu

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.
