On Safety

I called ahead to tell about Celiac needs and the girl who I talked to on the phone personally made my sandwich (she was working the register at the time)! She got out a GF cutting board for prep, and got all the ingredients for my sandwich out of the back so that there would be no cross-contamination... even including the sandwich wrapper paper!

Always delicious, eaten here many times and have never gotten sick!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I get the Un-witch and it is delicious.

Celiac friendly?

No

Cross contamination impossible to avoid.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable and assured me that precautions would be taken to prevent cross-contamination. No GF buns but they lettuce wrap it very well and it tastes very good. They were very busy but managed to keep my meal safe!

Celiac friendly?

No

They had no idea what cealiac disease was HORRIBLE

Jimmy Johns has an allergen menu on their website detailing each sandwich component. I opted for a sandwhich on the “Unwich” aka lettuce wrap instead of bread. It wasn’t nearly as filling of course but it was delicious and good for a quick meal in a pinch!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Unwiches. Lettuce wrap and if you tell them you can’t even handle second hand contact they’ll change gloves and all

Celiac friendly?

No

I’ve gotten sick multiple times. They don’t have a dedicated GF area. They change their gloves but then they use the same ingredients.

Everything is cross contaminated. They touch the bread and then stick their hand into the meat/veggies contaminating it all.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Told the person taking my order that I have a gluten allergy and he immediately said he would notify the person making my unwich and assured me that they would change gloves and utensils. Couldn’t have appreciated their attention and care more - especially after Jersey Mike’s across the street said they cannot confirm whether there is gluten in their deli meat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was knowledgeable and accommodating to my request for glove changes and station cleaning.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Aware of celiac food preparation. Never had a problem, they change gloves and make unwich on separate paper surface.

Any sandwich can come in a lettuce wrap. Roast beef and cheese have gluten. Go with something like Club Lulu. Pickles and chips are good too

Their lettuce wraps are made in the same spot that the normal sandwiches are made. It's all cross contaminated.

Celiac friendly?

No

If you tell them you have Celiac Disease they automatically change their gloves. They do have a lot of bread so it is obviously not safe.

They have an unwhich. Which is a lettuce wrap. They’re always super tasty. However I believe non of their cheeses are GF. So I always just get whatever with no cheese. They lay down paper for each sandwich. And each topping is in deprecate containers so cross contamination is minimal if any.

Edit: personally too worried about cross contamination to eat at Jimmy Johns anymore Fantastic. The unwhich is a lettuce wrap of whatever you want. I love the Hunter's, which is roast beef and cheese. They are well trained for allergies at this location. They put on new gloves. They put down fresh paper and make the unwhich on the paper. They give mayonnaise packets instead of using the shared spatula. There is always the possibility of cross contamination, but I have never gotten sick here unlike other sandwich places. Beware the tuna salad, it has Gluten but not from the mayonnaise, lol. Jimmy John's has become our go to for bringing home a quick meal.

Celiac friendly?

No

Has a lettuce wrap instead of bread. The cheese has low amounts of gluten so go dairy free too ;). Something quick and fresh to eat.

It’s jimmy johns... Unwich and basic menu

I've gotten sick here in spite of being clear about having severe celiac disease. They dip into the same mayo and mustard that has been glutened by their bread & rolls , etc when making your supposed GF lettuce wrap. Not Celiac safe. Also, the owner slaughters endangered animals in Africa. Google it.

Love their unwich (lettuce wrap) - they also wrap it up nicely so you can simply peel back the paper as you eat to avoid mess. Great way to satisfy my sub craving! They also have a GF chip option

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was a nice stop for lunch. I had one of their unwiches (lettuce wrap) and it was quite tasty. The manager understood gluten-free issues and he directed the food preparers to wash their hands, change their gloves, wash the preparation area, AND put a piece of fresh paper down on the prep line before fixing my sandwich!

The Unwiches are awesome, just ask for no cheese. Almost everything they serve is gluten free except for the cheese. Very good alternative to regular fast food

They have lettuce wrapped sandwiches and probably the best ones at wrapping them!

The Unwich (lettuce wrap) is the only gluten free item on the menu (also chips and pickle and fillings). I got a BLT on lettuce wrap. It was good, I felt a little weird after it, but it was also my first time eating fast food so that may be it. I have a very serious reaction to gluten so I think it is pretty safe because I didn’t have serious/that many side effects.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

You can get an unwich (lettuce wrap) and when you order tell them you are celiac and need gluten free, they will wash their hands and change their gloves. I eat here all the time and am celiac with no issues.

No problem ordering gluten free. The ‘unwich’ (lettuce wrap) was delicious.

Have a gluten free menu on their website. Lots of lettuce wrap options, the pickles, and most of the chips are gluten free! :)

A great alternative for a quick meal. Your choice of sandwiches on lettuce. Order the “unwich”

Celiac friendly?

No

Multiple staff members had obvious negative non verbal reactions when I asked about ingredients. They could not find anything listing allergens, ingredients, or nutrition. No accommodation or apologetic tone.

Great lettuce wrapped sub and chips. They deliver!

They have a dedicated place where they will prepare lettuce wraps. The staff is very knowledgeable and does a good job preventing cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love JJ’s!! The unwiches are great and refreshing. Wish they had a gf bun option too, but the unwiches are honestly delicious. I always get the Beach Club (#12)

Safe asked questions to understand need and did an amazing job. while they don't have gf rolls or buns you can get anything on a lettuce wrap. allergen list available online.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff were happy to change their gloves to make my unwich (lettuce wrap), and even spoke up to include mayo packets instead of cross contaminating with their spatula/jar of mayo. For you celiacs who are in a jam, and need something quick, do your research beforehand (see link below), and advocate for yourself when you order! Things containing gluten at Jimmy John’s: -bread & cookies -cheese (contains barley wheat) -tuna -salt and vinegar chips -bbq chips Allergen list: https://www.jimmyjohns.com/downloadable-files/AllergenInformation.pdf

Went for a lettuce wrap. Explained that I had Celiac and asked if they would mind changing gloves. They told me that they would not. Also said they would not make my wrap over fresh paper. Said they were specifically instructed NOT TO for people with gluten issues. I emailed the manager, and sure enough, that is their policy. If you tell them you have a gluten allergy/Celiac, they will NOT make any accommodations. No clean gloves, no fresh paper. I don't understand it, but obviously will not be back.

Must get the "unwich" lettuce wrap. Allergy knowledgeable and good about cross-contamination. Recommended!

I live that you can get your sandwich done unwhich (wrapped in lettuce) so I can eat it. I can’t eat egg and all the gluten free bread seems to have it.

The staff is knowledgeable about gluten free and make lettuce wraps called unwich. They change their gloves and wash. Great sandwich alternative.

They have the Unwich option instead of bread, which is of course low-carb, so I load up on veggies, avocado, and more meat. Make sure they change gloves; sandwich maker didn't hear the cashier repeat that back to me, but my husband requested, and they prepared it in a different area. No reaction, but I'm not Celiac.

I normally get the tuna and it is fine for a quick meal.

They don’t have anything but the unwich

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have lettuce wraps and are very careful with cc. They change their gloves and prepare at separate station. Make sure you ask for mayo packets instead of them using the common container.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here all the time!! Obviously don't order the bread but I eat the unwhich (lettuce wrap) like 3 times a week and it's almost better than a regular sandwich!

Yucky not good. I had a lettuce wrap, it was all lettuce and made me sick

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Unwich, lettuce wrapped version of any sandwich. Check their website, most ingredients gf, tuna and surprisingly cheese not.

No gluten free options besides subbing bread for lettuce at the same price.

Ask them to change gloves, put down fresh paper along the counter as they prepare an Unwich -- lettuce wrap. Also, ask for mayo and mustard in the individually wrapped package. We usually have good success when we give these directions for our food preparation.

Celiac friendly?

No

They do not have GF options, only lettuce wraps. I would not recommend this place for that reason.
