Eat here whenever I go home to Lafayette. They DO have gluten free bread. You just have to ask for it. :)

The fact that this establishment is considered "gluten free" just because they have a baked potato is laughable! A sandwich restaurant that wishes to be gluten free should actually offer their full menu on a gluten free bread!!!

Since I recently started a gluten free diet that you may have a great experience then come back to the exact same restaurant and have a total different experience. With that said I have only eaten here twice since going gluten free. The first time I stuck with a salad because I was in a time crunch and their online menu was difficult to use. You had to open each item to see if it contained gluten. The second time I called ahead and asked about sandwiches and they do have gluten free bread so I ordered a chicken sandwich. It was good but I was suspicious because they told me they used Udi's but this looked like regular bread and the container didn't have any markings to say it was gluten free. I ate cautiously but I didn't get sick. I was excited to find another place that I can order from in the future but I will probably double check to make sure I am getting gluten free when ordering and receiving my food.

website said they had gf breads. The Lafayette IN. location doesn't offer gf bread. Plus the girl at the counter was very rude when asked about gluten-free options.

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!
