Daughter is celiac. Impressed with the “Gluten Sensitive” menu. Ahi appetizer served on cucumbers. Gf kids pasta and salad. Even started with gluten free bread and dipping sauce. Staff answered all our questions and we felt that our daughter was safe.

Staff is very knowledgeable, they even have a gf roll to bring out when everyone else gets the pre-meal bread! A fair amount of options, not the entire menu but you definitely have choices to make. We've been a handful of times and have always enjoyed the food.

Sadly, my daughter got glutened here at our last visit. We said many times that she had celiac and no gluten. She had salmon and mashed potatoes.

The server introduced themself and immediately asked if anyone at the table had food allergies, wrote them down, and asked any questions I had. I'm also dairy free, but they still brought out a gf roll and plain olive oil to dip (their usual oil dip has parmesan cheese in it). I had their jambalaya, which was huge and had amazing flavor! The manager brought my dish out separately from the others and verified gf/df before placing in front of me. An entire menu within their menu is dedicated to those with special diets. Can't speak highly enough of them!

Delicious! Lots of choices! Even from the seasonal 'specials'! I c oi yld order a Lobster Roll if I wanted! Instead of feeling like a problem child due to my Celiac, I felt welcome! Combine that with deliciously made fresh food ... you have a true WINNER!!!

The staff was very accommodating, even had delicious gluten free starter bread! Wide variety of food on their GF menu, including pastas that tasted like regular pasta. Passionate about allergies and very knowledgeable about celiacs. Would recommend to anyone gluten free or not, very good experience!

Went there for Mother's Day with my Family. I told them I had celiac and waitress was on top of it, she informed manager and cook staff. I asked for gluten-free bread and within minutes, a different server came over and put bread on the table stating "here is your gluten-free bread". It was regular bread....... waitress and Manager both apologized but that doesn't fix the problem ......will never go back. Besides all that, Service was awful!

I went to the Kentland's location of Not Your Average Joe's and fell in love! They not only have a gluten free menu, but they also bring out a GF bread basket when you first sit down with this amazing garlic butter dip. I ordered the gluten free cheeseburger and asked if I could have french fries with it. It's not on their menu, but they offered to bake the french fries for me so as to not fry them and contaminate them in any way. It took longer and they weren't ask crispy, but I enjoyed them! Their food is amazing and you also get a free meal and dessert for your birthday if you sign up for their members club email. It's now my favorite restaurant!

Food was great. Service was good too. Had the scallop appetizer which was excellent. Ordered the house salad in the small size. They delivered the large size. Just so much iceberg lettuce one person can it. Ranch dressing is the "real" deal. I will be back. Gotta try the burgers on gluten free bun.

NYAJ is great. they work hard to accommodate my son's gluten allergy and will make him things not on the menu such as grilled cheese. we go a lot because of their knowledge of food allergies.

Great place, but can get very busy at times especially on weekends. They have a pretty large gluten free menu. They will also bring out dipping sauce with gluten free bread. The food is fantastic. The waitress we had was very nice and knowledgeable about gluten free. They also have gluten free pasta.

Good food. Ordered the salmon and green bean and rice with quinoa. It was yummy. I did not get sick. I was worried the rice was seasoned with something but I think it was butter and I’m not used to seasoning. Anyway, good meal.

I’ve had quite a few GF meals from here and they were really good! You can also get GF bread with their dipping sauce for $1.50. Have never been sick from anything and my food is marked GF.

I work not too far from the Burlington location so I ordered takeout - well 3 strikes ( no clue why I gave 3! ) and all done!! I marked gluten sensitive with gluten free bread , to my surprise 3 times getting back to my office with a side of gluten containing focaccia bread with the main bag receipt reading gluten sensitive! Yes, I should’ve checked before leaving but was rushing and had faith! I messaged to tell them, first time I called to double check if this bread was gluten free and response was oops we automatically add that bread. The last email I sent the response I got was sorry it happened again we’re embarrassed.. yup that was it, I responded this location doesn’t seem to take gluten issue’s seriously.. week later NO RESPONSE! Now I definitely do not feel comfortable ordering take out ( that’s not cheap ) or eating in the restaurant
