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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I always have a great experience here they are always on top of it with allergies asking upon everyone ordering. As soon as I made them aware of my allergy they brought AMAZING GF bread rolls with separate dipping oil and a gluten free menu. The GF menu has lots of options. Personally I get the kids GF Mac and cheese and it comes in an adult portion absolutely perfect !

I ordered gluten free pasta and was given the regular gluten pasta. They told me about their error after I ate my meal.

And of course now I am horribly sick. Please do not go here - you can’t trust them.

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.
