They have gluten free bread for sandwiches, baked potato options that are GF (I like the chicken baked potato!), and salads that can be prepared GF. I hadn't been here in a long time because last time I had they didn't have GF bread. It's nice to have another option of places to eat while out or traveling!

I go with my family all the time! I also have a corn allergy and their gluten free bread was corn free! Just ask to see the allergen menu for your allergy! They have always accommodated me! (Kingsport location)

They DO NOT offer gluten-free breads at the Kingsport, TN location, AND the rice crispy treats on their gluten-free menu have barley in them. I had a allergic reaction to the Sherry shallot dressing on their Savannah Chopped salad which also appears on their gGF menu. Beware... Update, ordered the Spud Ole, and it was served to me w/ a ROTTEN potato. Just stay away. I tried again on 8/18...croutons despite a warning of gluten allergy & request for no croutons. 3 strikes & you're out. They clearly don't care.

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!
