A great range of options, servers were very aware, and delicious food. Loved the gf bread and dipping oil they bring out. We’ll worth the $1.50 up charge

Good menu selection. Marked as “gluten allergy” even though celiac. Brought out GF rolls along with EVOO, Parmesan & red pepper flake dipping oil—amazing! Can’t wait to try them again.

I’ve dined at 3-4 of their locations and have always had no issues and know they are usually very careful. This recent visit could have gone differently if I didn’t have a watchful eye and super responsive wait staff and management. We were seated near their open concept kitchen. I could see our meals come from the kitchen before being delivered. My meal was easy to spot since it had the large allergy toothpick in it. I watched the prep person reach over my meal a few times to grab big handful of not GF fries to place on other plates. As my heart rate started to rise LOL! I saw the server drop fries near my plate. At that point, I couldn’t tell if they landed on my plate but decided to mention it to our server when our meals were delivered. When our meals were delivered by another staff person I started to relay my concern (very nicely I might add) about the possible cross contamination and low and behold, fries on the metal tray that my plate was sitting on. The staff person was VERY apologetic (and a bit horrified). She whisked away my plate. When our original server noticed I didn’t have my meal and figured out why he came to the table very attentive and apologetic. Then the manager came over and same thing - very concerned. I explained how I could see it happen, etc. My new meal was delivered promptly. When we received the bill they comped my meal. For me, that was totally unnecessary as they took their mistake very seriously and quickly made things right. Good job NYAJ ! You just might want to finish off the GF meals in a dedicated location.

There was a separate "Gluten Sensitive" menu and the staff asked whether my reasoning was due to allergy or sensitivity. In fact, my server was celiac. After explaining my allergies, they made sure to keep things separate. You do have to specify your allergies as not all ingredients are listed on the menu. I got a gluten free burger. The food was reasonably good and the atmosphere was nice. The only downside was the wait time during lunch which resulted in us waiting at our table for our food for 30+ minutes. Overall good experience though.

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.

Have eaten their 20+ times and never got sick. Staff and managers know about Celiac. Food options are good. Bread is ok, but not nearly as good as Legal's. Love the GF Glutenberg IPAs-best GF beer available. Highly recommend NYAJ if you have Celiac.

I've eaten at Not Your Average Joe's a few times and honestly the service is terrible. Last time my food was made wrong twice. I haven't gotten sick so I gave them 4 stars, but the service is so bad I don't think I'll eat there again.

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.

Server was careful about gf. Mustard crusted chicken sandwich was okay, but the gluten free rolls for appetizer and with the sandwich were the best I’ve ever had!

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.
