They don’t technically have a gf menu, but if you say you’re celiac as you order, they’re prepare your salad or sandwich, on gluten-free bread, in the back for you! They have a dedicated fryer for the fries, too!!

I have celiac and have eaten here multiple times with no problems. I use a tester to test for gluten content. Tonight for the first time ever all three dishes tested positive for gluten (at least 20 ppm). We ordered the lemon thyme chicken breast (made in the microwave instead of the grill), garlic fries (was told they'd be made in the dedicated fryer) and the classic steak sandwhich on a gluten free bun).

I order the chicken and garlic fries every time I go.

I'm not writing this place off because it has tested gluten free dozens of other times I've been there. The place was jam packed busy and I did take out. There were other take out orders waiting as well. I believe it's highly likely the message about celiac and no gluten may not have made it to the person preparing the food or their usual safe practices weren't followed.

Or perhaps for the fries at least, I was given someone else's order (i noticed most people were ordering garlic fries).

My advice is to go during slower times and watch to be sure safe practices are flowed.

I’ve eaten at least a dozen times at the Fresno location. Haven’t had a problem until yesterday. Within 30 minutes I was bloated, and very sick that night. In times past the server was very knowledgeable, yesterday they didn’t really seem to know what items had gluten. I should’ve known better.

Overall the kitchen is very knowledgeable of what is gluten free and can help steer you in the right direction. I have celiac disease and usually get the Impossible taco salad. The dressing is gluten free and staff has told me the tortilla strips are gluten free/don’t share a fryer and I’ve never had any issues. I’ve also gotten the salmon and had no issues either. Highly recommend this spot.

GF I did not see the san Diego business advertise by anymore. It is Jerusalem by the name of hodori. I do not recommend you do foreign food. I had my money ready to pay then some suckers pulled the fast one. You will be robbed on Milpitas side. I'll tell you about this. Angry house mate does the lottery. I wasn't stolen from. I ripped his ticket. He does pubs. My tempura order I lasted four hours. The money is there or it's not.

We’ve eaten here so many times and never an issue. This has always been our go to for GF sandwiches and fries. Normally my wife who has celiac receives her sandwich after minutes of me already having mine. Today both sandwiches came out at the same time. It is obviously our fault for not questioning the server when that happened. Within 30 minutes of eating, she was bloated and by evening she was sicker than a dog. I would just confirm when you order and when you receive your food that it was gluten-free. It may not hurt to also ask for a manager to make sure that it’s done right.

My family gets takeout from Jacks every few months. They won’t guarantee any food is gluten free, but I (celiac) have no problem with the grilled meats and build-your-own-salad without dressing. My Nima sensor detected gluten in the side dishes but the chicken, salmon and beef were “safe”.

Cross contamination. They do have a gf menu and a dedicated fryer but I watched them put a steak down to grill right where gluten previously was … also found a small crouton in my salad before I started eating it.

I visited Jack’s for the first time this week with a small group (I am the only celiac). I had a great lunch. They have a delicious gf sandwich roll, a dedicated fryer for the French fries. I was asked when I placed my order if my gf requirements were due to an allergy. My friends were served their meals, it took another 10 minutes for me to get my meal, when I inquired, I found that they replace the cutting boards, utensils, and gloves to make my meal. I was extremely pleased that they took care to do this and the staff I spoke with seemed well versed in what was safe for me to eat.

This location is hit or miss. We have placed online orders and then arrived for pick up and had them tell us they weren’t comfortable filling the order because of cross-contamination risks. Other times they have been more helpful. We have had a much better experience at the Jack’s in Roseville at the Fountains. They have a dedicated fryer so you can get fries there, which isn’t offered in Folsom. They also can heat up their gluten free rolls separately from other items in Roseville. In Folsom we always get cold crumbly rolls. Salads are probably the safest and all of their dressings are gluten free.

Whatever you do do not eat here ever! The girls that work here are the rudest snottiest people you would ever experience. I can’t believe that anyone would pay to be treated so poorly. Again do not ever eat here. The food here is OK but the prices are absolutely ridiculous but the most important thing is that the girls at work here treat you like you’re a piece of garbage.

This chain advertises gluten free sandwiches, but after my wife ordered (and paid for) a sandwich on a gluten free roll, and explained that she had celiac disease, so it needed to to be prepared in a clean environment, the sandwich maker said under her breathe that she wouldn't make the sandwich, My salad came, and I finally went ahead and ate it, but my wife's sandwich was never made, They ultimately refunded her money rather than clean a knife and a section of the table and change gloves. We're not going back! Other locations are fine.

They have a Gluten free menu that highlights the items to omit from the non-gluten free menu. All of their sauces contain gluten. I had the roasted turkey and it was good but would have been better with sauce. All of my sides French fries and mashed potatoes came to me cold. Many other patrons also complained about cold sides.

My family just Loves this restaurant. Fantastic build-your-own salads, with great GF balsamic vinagrette. We get the family fries too, which have no gluten but are fried in oil with other things that do, so if you're super-sensitive you may want to skip the fries. I'm quite sensitive, and I'm almost always fine. Our friends who accompany us love the sandwiches. The staff is really helpful and friendly. Love this place -- it's one of our regular go-to's in Davis.

Salads are awesome but if you are extremely hungry, don't expect much bang for your bucks here. For protein, only their chicken and turkey are quoted to be gluten free but not their award winning tri tip. And you only get a mere 3 oz of meat if you are lucky and sides are additional.
