Not Your Average Joe's

Been here a bunch of times and always had a good experience. Staff has been knowledgeable and accommodating with a separate GF menu. Appetizer bread is great but the burger buns are tough. The GF salmon and kids Mac and cheese have also been good when I had them. Carrot cake for dessert might be the best I’ve ever had.

Used to really like not your average joes as they are very accommodating to allergies. I haven’t eaten there in years and just grabbed dinner there the other night out of convenience

The waitress did ask about allergies and I told her celiac. I ordered the herb crusted chicken entree and my boyfriend ordered the herb crusted chicken sandwich. They then brought out two herb crusted chicken entrees. I clarified with the waitress as that was not what my boyfriend ordered and I was worried the dish may have gotten swapped. She assured me the dish she gave me was gluten free and told me she had even double checked with the chef.

It definitely was NOT! 20-30 minutes I was super sick. Sad because this place has so many good reviews and was always a safe place in my mind. Also sad I got glutened eating mediocre chain restaurant food.

Great experience here. Staff was super knowledgeable and asked about allergies right after seating us. Waitress got me a gluten free menu after I told them about being Celiac. Waitress also knew I couldn't have fries because of cross contamination. I got the mustard crusted BLT. It was definitely safe and gluten free. Tasted fine, not amazing. Green beans as a side were so good though. The menu had a ton of other options. Everything is pretty pricey, but it was nice to know I could eat my meal safely! Would definitely go back and try something else.

The gf appetizer bread was very good, but I ordered a burger and the bun was as hard as a brick! Would not get the burger again, but overall not a bad place to eat at. They have a separate gf menu.

Eat here at your own risk. Our waiter basically said one word the entire time we were there. 2 gluten free meals ordered and 1 regular menu item ordered with gluten free bread and dip. He came and placed the bread down on the table with no word and walked away. It tasted so good I had to ask for his attention to come back to the table to confirm that it was gluten free. Where he said “oh no it’s not gluten free, we’re still waiting for that one to come out”. Find a better restaurant where the staff know how to communicate. I am now very sick from this restaurant.

I’ve eaten here many times without any problems. Servers are knowledgeable and the gluten free selection is so large, I’m not limited to a salad!! Lots of pasta dishes, the GF chicken parm is my favorite and they serve GF bread with separate oil for dipping.

The staff was the best I’ve come in contact with since my diagnosis. Our waitress asked right away if we had any food allergies and brought me out delicious gf rolls right away. So many options and I had no problems. We will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten here several times with no issues. Tons of gf options. I always stress the importance of celiac/avoiding cross contamination and they seem to be good about it. They have gf bread options.. food is pretty decent too!

This place was great! Tons of options which made things so easy. I even got my own gf bread and dip so I could eat right along with everyone else. Had the turkey avocado blt and would definitely get it again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The fact that they have a gf dinner roll to begin with is amazing but it’s also DELICIOUS. Would go back just for the bread but the rest of the menu is also great and extensive.

We were excited to go here after reading the reviews but were sorely disappointed. The utensils and plates were dirty, our waters had floaters in them and my celiac daughter was ill right after she ate. She had the gf bread which a piece looked like it had some green mold on it (she didn’t eat it)and had a hamburger and fruit. Hamburger was not good and bun was average. Not impressed with serving staff either. Would not recommend d for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very good service. GF menu with lots of choices. Wish they had a dedicated fryer, but still lots of good options.

6 stars if I could have. Amazing gf bread and extensive menu. They prepare your food separately with only one chef to avoid cross contamination. For a chain this is incredible!

Celiac friendly?

The good was AMAZING!! Honestly best gluten free food I have had in a while. Server was very away of my Celiac. 100% recommend even if you're even close to this place, go!

A must try! The best GF menu I've ever seen! GF bread as a free starter!!

This restaurant has amazing gluten free food starting with their bread and appetizers and ending with at least 3 delicious choices for dessert. You never feel like a 2nd class citizen here.

LOVE NYAJs! It's one of the very few places that offer GF bread (and its caramelized onion bread that's served warm with my own dipping sauce). Their menu changes which gives new foods to try. I attended a GF 6 course wine pairing at the Glen Mills site and loved sampling more foods with other Celiacs and those with NCGS. I rave about this place at the NJ Celiac Support Association #9 support group.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My very first restaurant experience after my celiac diagnosis was at the Glen Mills, PA location. Our server immediately noticed my GF menu and was kind, knowledgable, and helpful. He made recommendations (which I followed) and the food was delicious. I had the grilled chicken caprese. The food runner delivered my food by saying "here is your GF chicken caprese," which I appreciated. From start to finish I felt as though my allergy was being considered and taken seriously.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

NYAJ is one of the few chains I feel confident eating at when traveling. This location was no exception; friendly staff and seamless accommodation. Waiter brought gf bread to the table with a separate dipping sauce dish without being asked, and a different person brought out the gf meals separate from the regular ones.

Would have been five stars if the sandwich was as good as I've had at other locations. The grilled chicken was a bit dry and there was a single pale tomato slice instead of the sundried tomatoes advertised. Still, I'm always happy to be eating somewhere safe!

Kudos for having a GF menu, but very confusing when I ordered off it and the waitress told me someone might come out to tell me they can't make the meal. Luckily that didn't happen, but stressful and embarrassing when eating with non-GF diners... Don't want to draw extra attention to my dietary limitations. The chicken caprese I had was good, but left me hungry. As a very small woman, that never happens to me.

Amazing gf bread!!!! Gf menu was very large and I didn't feel limited at all.

Great selection, great food!

Celiac friendly?

Soooo good . The GF bread is the BEST , the staff's knowledge of GF amazing , menu choices fantastic and the GF carrot cake to die for .. Best choice on then mainline for GF

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This restaurant was full of gluten free options, including the best gluten free bread I have ever eaten. The service was wonderful, and I will definitely go back!

It doesn't get much better than here. GF bread is amazing.

They have a large gluten free menu! They also provide you with your own GF bread basket, and the bread is awesome! (You would never know it's gluten free it's that good).

Amazing!! Had gluten free bread for dipping that was so fluffy. The gf menu was so amazing with pasta and sandwich. Amazing gf carrot cake for dessert. Plus I'm vegetarian the where so accommodating . Staff was so knowing and have a separated gf space a double check everything they bring.

great food, service, and prices

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was my second time at one (first since learning I have celiac) and it was just as good as my last visit. Ask for the gluten free menu before you leave the host table. I love that they bring gf bread for the table and despite the reviews I think it’s pretty darn good! They even let me order the kids Mac and cheese to go. Love this place!

Called to inquire about allergy protocols before placing a to go order! Pasta- cooked in the same water as gluten pasta. Not safe! Burgers- cooked separately from any gluten buns. Bun is also toasted separately. Fries are not gluten free.

Ordered a burger on a gluten free bun with a side of broccoli. Overall it was good but did not come with the sauce as advertised. The bun was not my favorite. Very “wet” and chewy like.

A dedicted gluten free menu, with knowledgeable staff. There is no dedicated fryers, which is sad as the gluten free buns make burgers the perfect go to, and what goes better with a burger than fries?! Chicken parm is also delicious. Our server was even gluten free and was therefore extra careful and attentive.
