I always go to McAlister’s and order my sandwiches there. Just make sure to tell you you have a Gluten allergy, they will put it on GF bread.

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:

“Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns with us. To have information about our ingredients and nutrition facts, please go to the nutrition tab on our website. However, if you have allergies, we recommend not eating our product due to cross-contamination. If you still want to get more information you can contact the store management directly to inquiry. We value your business and would love the chance to make your next visit a great one!”

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.

The gluten free bread is very okay here - it crumbles pretty easily but is, at least, soft and normal sized. Not the best sandwich I’ve had but not the worst either. I’m glad they have options here.

They had a small separate menu for gluten free options and were very kind and understanding when discussing my disease!
