I let them know I had an allergy and I asked if they could change their gloves when making my salad (coming from making the bread) I got an eye roll. I wanted to cancel my order at that moment and I cried silently after telling my husband I didn’t feel like they took it seriously. He said to throw it away but I was so hungry and I didn’t want to waste it. Well 15 minutes in I started to blow up like a puffer fish. This place is not safe for people with celiac.
We played it safe with baked potatoes. All was good. The sandwiches can be made with gluten free bread but we were unsure which ones were gluten free. It’s a nice place for salads, sandwiches and loaded baked potatoes with different options.

Usually get their spuds, not a lot of options but they do mark Gluten Sensitive foods. Haven’t had a reaction so far but definitely make sure you tell them to change their gloves.
This restaurant is awesome! They are very careful with my needs for gluten free food due to celiac. It is delicious every time and the service is always amazing!! I love the choose 2 Spicy Turkey Melt on gluten free bread and the Spud Max.
I get a spud w vegetarian chili + toppings of choice. I prefer vegetarian chili anyways, but was told that vegetarian was the GF option. I haven’t had a reaction yet.
I emailed management to ask if it’d be safe for a Celiac. In sum, they said “no.” I’d suggest taking their advice.
This is what the note said in full:

They have a good online menu that identifies allergens - which is helpful. I didn't ask about cross contamination/ shared fryers as I order salads and soups. The veggies chili is delicious. Also got a plain potato (which was huge). I was surprised there were so many gf options for a deli.
