Mendocino Farms

So I had a sandwich on gluten free bread and the bread was toasted and tough. I tried to cut the bread with a plastic fork and it won’t cut the bread. I went inside and asked if someone could cut the sandwich and the answer was no. Apparently no one could go wash a knife. So I’m appreciative that they were trying to be gluten free, thank goodness I have all my teeth. I have five people standing around me trying to figure out how to cut a piece of bread, really! I just said give me the sandwich and I’ll deal with it. No management response and sandwich ultimately was good. However, WTF, I can’t cut your bread or re-do your sandwich.

Pretty knowledgeable and haven’t gotten sick in a couple visits.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve always enjoyed Mendocino Farm’s food even before Celiac disease. It’s so fresh and full of flavor. They carefully noted that I had an allergy. Each meal came in a separate bag. One of my favorite stops for a quick AND healthy meal.

I do love this chain and their food. However, the potato salad side is NOT GLUTEN FREE. It says it is on Uber Eats, but their website says it is not. I ordered it and couldn’t figure out why I got sick. Everything else I have had from here labeled GF has been safe and tasty.
