First, we are not from here...so I was expecting more of a Jason's Deli vibe...this is a massive buffet with a very long salad bar, soups, potatoes, pastas,and baked goods. Buffet and Celiac sets off bells for me, not the good kind. There is all sorts of XC going on here. Croutons next to sunflower seeds, dressings in back of and dripping into other dressings, soups and shared spoons. In their favor, its all labeled "gluten friendly" (not to digress, but it should be gluten UNfriendly, or UNgluten friendly). I did okay...so they must be doing something okay. I did stay away from the cheese that had an oyster cracker in it...and anything close to questionable ingredients. So....not SUPER satisfying...but I got to make my plate, versus whatever mysterious thing that happens to my food in a kitchen. Also, one other complaint...out of 8 soups, only the chili was GF. What are you doing to the tomato basil? Or even the clam chowder?

I have Celiac and it was great to see that the food that was gluten friendly was marked. I will definitely be back!

They always have a gluten free muffin and chili. Most often have a soup. Almost everything on the salad bar is gluten free. Good healthy food for a reasonable price.

Love the salad & chili!!! With that $10 coupon (including drink) it can’t be beat.... everything is clearly labeled. I don’t eat any of the processed salads though, other than the broccoli. I do eat the GF muffins but reach way to the back where the new ones are & use a knife to grab them.😊

They once offered GF pasta cooked to order but no longer do . Their items are not GF - unless you had a regular salad although celiacs beware that they don’t do anything in regards to preparation to prevent cross contamination.They offer GF but it’s “ Gluten Friendly” they use the same serving tongs and muffins for instance are set directly next to reg muffins where public share the tongs as well . Paying what they want to have 1 soup or chili if any and a salad not being gluten aware isn’t worth the risk. I’m pretty disappointed . Have been cross contaminated to many times here .

No comprehension of what it means to be a Celiac at this place. If you must be GF do not go here.
