I went just before closing. They still followed their normal gf process. I had no issues, and my sandwich was made to order.

I often stop at several other locations while traveling, and this was my first time at this location. Staff was friendly, and I had no issues, afterward.

They have a GF bread option, and side dishes available that are also GF. I observed staff changing their gloves to handle my sandwich, but the kitchen has many opportunities for cross contamination.

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.

Many options listed as gf! Not sure what type of bread they have but it’s awesome!

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

THE BEST GF BREAD. at first i was so skeptical if the bread they gave me was actually gluten-free, but I went home with no stomach ache and no throwing up. I’ve now gone around 10 times to McAllister‘s to get their gluten-free bread and it seriously is so good.

They have GF bread and items marked GF. They are willing to change their gloves and prepare separately.

I made sure when ordering to ask them to change gloves, etc. And I tell them I will be very sick for a week if there is cross contamination.I had a great turkey sandwich tonight and POTATO SALAD! I ordered food to go as well. I appreciate the time and effort to make my food safe. And I tip because I am grateful for that extra work.
