Original Joe's

I’ve eaten safely here a few times. The burgers are great, salads are fresh. No dedicated fryer or options you can’t find anywhere else, but it’s a great atmosphere for going out with friends or for date night.

Had the Kona burger with gf bun. Delicious. Does not have dedicated fryer for fries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am a symptomatic Celiac, and we had a gift card that needed to be used.

We (3 people, I am the only celiac) ordered burgers/sandwiches.

Celiac (burger, GF Bun, mashed potatoes (no gravy etc) Second burger , onion rings, poutine Nashville chicken sandwich , fries and onion rings.

Food quality was good, nothing wrong with it.

I explained I was celiac with a gluten allergy, talked about CC for the kitchen, and confirmed the MP with no gravy were ok. Food arrives, they put the regular burger with the mashed potatoes , and the GF burger with the poutine/onion rings. When I kindly explained that I could not just switch the burgers due to my allergy they were good and whisked it away to remake - I was assured that the sides would be new and the burger would be remade as well.

Arrived correctly the second time and despite my worries , I did not react and experienced no glutening symptoms.

Review - you can eat there but be diligent about ordering with clear communication and ensure that the order is correct before consuming. The staff was very good and swiftly had it corrected.

Not sure how often I would eat here (again we were using a GC) but they do have options available.

Went there 2 nights in a row for a work trip and the experience depends on the server. GF options are clearly noted on the menu and one of the server's brother is celiac, so she knew what was GF and what wasn't. They were able to bake wings for GF, she checked which flavors could be GF and which ones were dairy free and she even checked that the alcohol in my drink was GF.

I had their west coast chop salad with chicken and without the toasted chickpeas. I loved it! Delicious dressing, it was fresh and very tasty. I had no problem with cross contamination. My server was very helpful and celiac aware. Highly recommend.

Definitely got a regular bun, even though we sent it back and double checked. They swore up and down it was gluten free. It certainly wasn't! Will not be going back.
