They have a separate gluten free menu, including buns, wraps, sliced bread and crackers. I tried the falafel and the hummus with gf crackers. Both were delicious and I was so happy to have so many choices. I will go back for a wrap or sandwich, just wanted a snack today.

One of my favorite places, I normally get the turkey wrap and hotdog. The potato salad is gluten and dairy free.

Great, local fresh! Located off the main drag. Most everything can be made GF. (The gyro meat is not GF). They have a GF menu I had the turkey wrap. They use Udi’s wraps. The staff is knowledgeable, the site is clean and open and not loud and noisy. I’ll definitely eat here again!

This place was ok, but not great, and I felt a bit nervous seeing the tiny size of their kitchen. I think I was ok, but did feel a bit off after so I'm not completely confident. I had the garlic chicken on a gluten free wrap, and the chicken was good but the wrap was really dry and not good. The potato salad was some of the worst I've tasted so I only ate two small bites. Not very impressed.

So delicious and so many options! I had the sampler platter and the shawarma on gluten free wrap! Only down side is the gluten free crackers are sesame based so they overpower the sauces a bit on the sampler. But my second trip I made some gluten free toast to eat with it!

Gluten-free menu had more items than most. Had Rosa wrap and Hummus with gf crackers. Husband had gyro from regular menu and thought it was great. Others enjoyed theirs too. Service was excellent!! Will go back!! Did not check for allergies other than mine. Don't know about precautions, but I would have had an immediate response if mine had been contaminated.

This place is not a drop everything and run to type of place but with that said it was super nice getting to eat a sub from somewhere that handled gluten free well. The flavors were good, the sandwich was a little small and make sure to not order the pasta salad as a side, it is not gluten free but I think they are used to asking chips, pasta salad or potato salad and the gluten free menu says chips or potato salad only. The chips are bagged chips, not fresh, not a big deal to me but an FYI

Knowledgeable about celiac. Choices include sandwiched and wraps, salads, chips, and soups. She informed me they have separate prep areas and they change gloves. Good good too, kind of a Greek theme going on buy also classic sandwiches

You order at the counter and pick up when they buzz you, around $9 a meal.

I ate here two weeks ago and had a turkey sandwich (fine) one day and the falafel sandwich (super delicious) two days later. I felt safe eating here and great afterwards. I would definitely eat there again when I’m in Branson.

I hace celiac and the staff was very helpful and understanding with needing gluten & dairy free. They knew exactly what I could/couldn't have and made sure everyone handling the order knew the precautions to take to avoid cross contamination. So thankful to now have a safe place to eat at when visiting Branson (which we do every few weeks.)

During vacation we tried this local spot and it was fantastic deli. Busy, but filled with locals and not tripping over huge tourist crowds. They have a separate gf menu, if you ask. Otherwise they have gf bread, wraps, and hot dog buns that they can use. I ordered the “combo plate” from the gf menu featuring all of their Greek/middle eastern dips, falafel, grape leaves, etc. instead of pita they do gf crackers. The only wish is that they had gf pita (I had some at home to eat with my leftovers and it made the dish that much better). Lots of yummy choices and my non-gf son and husband liked it a lot as well.

Some staff was knowledgeable but the girl that rang me up didn’t quite understand. She rang it up wrong but they fixed it immediately and were very accommodating. I don’t know that I completely trust them or their kitchen. More then likely there is some cross contamination going on because is all the pita bread they use. I haven’t had a reaction yet.

Good food and many gluten-free options. Most dishes can be adapted to GF. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about GF. Beef and lamb are marinated in soy sauce, so consider chicken for your meat. I had the Vaskens Famous Gyro (chicken) in a gluten-free pita wrap with potato salad. They asked me to read the label on the potato salad container, just to be sure. I recommend this restaurant as a safe place for celiacs.
