Not Your Average Joe's

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing!!! Seriously. Go here!!!

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have an entire gluten free menu that has a lot of options and is delicious too!

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great selection, great food!

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

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

great food, service, and prices

Menu clearly marked, server knowledgeable, I ate a veggie based ragout which was served with very soft gluten free rolls. No reaction. Would recommend!

Celiac friendly?

No

Update: I’ve been glutened at least twice. I’m sad to say I can no long trust this place. I ordered take out, and there were so many options! The food was delicious. I’m not sure if the bread roll I got was GF so I didn’t chance it, but it looked good! Edit: came back to eat, the roll was amazing!! Such good dip too.

Extremely disappointed in NYAJ. Used to be my favorite restaurant as I am celiac and have to eat gluten free. Almost all appetizers have been eliminated and only tuna wontons now. The chicken quesadilla used to be fantastic. Had an awful experience in Warwick. Your prices are outrageous now for the quality of food. I ordered gf haddock and the entire meal was terrible. The fish came out smelling like fish and the gf crumbs were not even baked on. The mashed potatoes were like glue and the broccoli well undercooked. My husband and I paid $60 for two meals that we could have gotten at a Chili’s for much less. What has happened? I used to love NYAJ and went at least twice a month. I do appreciate eating gluten free, but the quality of the food ...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They came out with gluten free rolls and oil that was amazing. My dinner was really good too. They took precautions to prevent CC. Didn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ask for Mason if you have Celiac's, he is a server whose sister has it. He has taken fantastic care of me the last half dozen times we have been here. He remember my three orders that I flip between (Ahi tuna salad, ask for the orange sesame dressing with it, impossible caprese burger and the squash bolignese.) Yummy food, good care, great place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great and consistent gf although their options have changed recently.

Able to order gluten free and dairy free easily. Wait staff know what questions to ask and clarify if there are any questions regarding your allergy. Complimentary gluten free roll and oil (make sure to request without parm if dairy free) available! Food is always delicious!

I really enjoy going here! The menu is limited and I don’t enjoy a lot of things they have on it but the pesto salmon is so good. I also order the Ceasar salad with Gf croutons (which isn’t even on the menu). The carrot cake is naturally gluten free. The bread they serve as an appetizer has recently improved. It used to be an onion loaf and now it’s plain buns that are pretty good in the oil.

Have eaten here 7 times, most recently this week, and always had a fantastic food experience. I have a dairy allergy as well as gluten issues and am always pleased by the number of options, even a dessert! Make sure you ask for their gf bread too!

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was delicious and the server was very knowledgeable. They brought out hot gf bread and dip. I had the jambalaya, and it was a--mazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food! The staff was knowledgeable and they brought Gfree rolls to the table. They also had gfree breadcrumbs. I have celiac and was completely fine eating here

Celiac friendly?

No

This is my second time I have been sick from this location. This time I got a plain burger, no bun. No toppings. With mashed. I was assured everything was gluten free and she was aware of my severe allergy. I still got vey very sick. The other locations like Westwood Ma i have been to multiple times and have never been sick. Norwell is NOT CELIAC SAFE.

I've eaten here many times and never gotten sick!

Great GF options- very accommodating menu. Staff is very knowledgeable

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good menu of GF options. To start, they bring bread and oil dip, ask for the GF bread (and its super tasty).

Celiac friendly?

No

This chain has always been good with my gluten and dairy allergies. However, they first reduced the gluten free menu to an allergen menu and now they have reduced that. They’ve made the gluten free selection limited to almost salads. Then I ordered a salad, and after eating it at the bottom I found a white creamy substance that may be dairy. Regardless, it shows that the faculty is not safe for crosscontainmination anymore. I was worried when I saw the limited menu and this proves my suspicions true.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They understand cross contamination here and do a great job with safe food prep. I had an impossible burger on a GF bun and didn’t get sick! I’d definitely eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

No

I’ve gotten sick here so many times I just stopped coming. The manager kept apologizing and giving me free meals to make up for it, but my health just isn’t worth it. It may be OK to eat in, but my experience was with to go orders, and they consistently packed my food so it would be in the same bag as other, gluteny food (for my family), often under their food. This despite me always telling them to pack my items in a separate bag. Take-out is just too complicated for this restaurant, which in my time eating there never once explained packing rules to their host staff, and who ignored my pleas to protect the food I’d ordered from cross-contamination in the bag. The kitchen also made errors, like undercooking food (that I had to finish cooking at home). I live a half mile away, but after a year of fighting with them, I just can’t eat here anymore.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great menu, both food and drink options. Staff seemed knowledgeable about contamination issues. The gluten free rolls are great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waiter was great, the food was amazing. I loved they even offer gluten free rolls for me while my family had the regular bread. A very good GF menu with many options.

This has been a mainstay for us until today. We had an awful experience here. They refused to accommodate our needs, as they only had a set brunch menu. Not only did they not accommodate us, they were rude and had little to no understanding of our gluten free needs. Sad to cross this off our go to list.

Good stuff. Never made me sick.

Disappointed,my two reasons for coming the lettuce wraps and the fried are no longer offered gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wait staff very knowledgeable! They are careful to keep cross contamination at a minimum. Been several times, 4 with celiac and never had a problem

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I so appreciate the gluten free menu with Paleo and keto options and the flexibility to substitute. The customer service was also excellent all around, from Chef Jeff to our server!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was so careful when they found out we had celiac. Delicious rolls with olive oil. Loved my club sandwich. My daughter enjoyed her plain pasta with butter. The dessert was out of this world - the chocolate cake was like cheesecake consistency and fantastic! Happy to see GF beer on the menu, didn’t try it this time but will be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Been here multiple times and enjoyed the food. The staff is knowledgeable on celiac disease. *update- the last two times I've been here I have gotten sick.

They are not quite like they used to be. In the past, the gluten free plates were a different color, the manager brought the food over and the servers were very aware of cross contamination. The last two times we have been the servers did not know what celiac was, th food was delivered together and the plates were the same. We asked numerous times to confirm it was gluten free and it was, but the care they used to take is now gone.

Great gluten free menu. Food was great we go here often.

I used to love going to NYAJ. Have had a few poor experiences now, at least for this Warwick location. Burnt chicken. Over peppered spaghetti sauce. Over cooked gluten free noodles. And worst of all, their endless gluten free rolls are now small, dry and don’t have that fresh baked feel or taste. And to top it off, we had poor service. I won’t be going back nor recommending it again.

The best GF bread in God’s world! Plus a a whole separate GF menu, full of flavor! This place proves gluten-free doesn’t have to mean delicious-free!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their cheeseburger is amazing! I also loved the gluten free chicken parm AND the warm roll. They go to a lot of trouble and if shows.

Plenty of Gf options, girlfriend with Celiac's had no problems and staff were very aware of the situation.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dude. They have their own GF menu! I'm living for this restaurant. Highly recommended.

Wait staff very knowledgeable, menu with GF marked dishes available. Manager and cooks all notified about allergies, wait staff even have rules about what they can touch for cross-contamination. And the food was very good, too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Disappointed as the menu is not as robust as it used to be and the bread is now a tasteless roll.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome place! Takes allergies and Celiac Disease seriously!

I’m not sure yet if it was safe but the quality of the food is definitely not worth the price. My son found a large piece of fatty chicken skin in his nachos and it went downhill from there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My wife and I ate there two nights in a row while visiting the area. The food was very good, and the wait staff was awesome (Big shout out to Claudia!). They really get it regarding Celiac preparation and cross contamination. Highly recommend this place and wish they would open some up in the Phoenix area!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The jambalaya is BOMB but the last few times I had a sandwich, their buns were too small to hold the contents in. Still an excellent option with a great gluten free menu. Their gluten free bread served with olive oil and parmesan to dip is however amazing.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This restaurant offers lots of gluten free options including bread and pasta. The warm gluten free dinner roll was super soft and squishy, and the carrot cake was delicious and moist. Those two items are the best gluten free items I’ve ever had. You would never know that they were gluten free. Highly recommend this place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Separate gluten free menu but the quality has really gone down since they opened. I paid $13 for a chicken breast on a stale bun. I would recommend the jambalaya.

I don’t think I got glutened but the food is not good here and I don’t feel good after eating here—not a full celiac reaction but definitely bloated, tired etc. It’s like a 1980s menu—chicken Parmesan etc. If I were eating a meal on a layover at an airport between two long flights I would be ok I guess with the meal I had just because I didn’t get glutened but I didn’t enjoy it. Also they delivered our entrees and totally forgot our apps until we asked. It’s basically just a restaurant for people who aren’t really into food. The waiter was nice though and they seem to be careful about cross contamination. This restaurant would probably work for older visiting relatives or kids.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All I can say is AMAZING. Just went in for burgers. The buns were a little dry like most gluten free, but the flavor is good. The burgers themselves were delicious as were the mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. My daughter got the kids meal gluten free mac and cheese which was to die for. Finished off with a piece of gf carrot cake. Our waitress was attentive, but not invasive. Manager brought my food to the table as I also have shellfish and dill allergies. I have never had this level of service outside of Disney World. Will be back, even if it is two hours from home.

Great service. I'm GF and DF. Manager came to the table because she has DF allergies too. There wasn't much for me in regard to menu items because of being DF, but from what I saw, everything GF looked good! Server and manager kept coming back to check up on me. Great job!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten free menu. I am pretty new to this no gluten thing, only about 6 months in progress. And I'm not sure I have an issue with cross contamination at this point i haven't noticed an issue yet. This restaurant has a gluten free menu which gets me sooo excited now! Its actually a pretty wide variety of options too I didn't feel deprived at all! They brought me glute free bread too, i am not sure if its the same at all locations, but the warwick RI locations bread is bomb! I would recommend you try it for sure.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely wonderful meal last evening. The GF bread & dipping sauce was so good. Our waitress Jasmine was very helpful. I also have an issue with casein & the chef came out to offer me another side instead of the coleslaw. No reactions. 5 star in my book!
