Where to start??? Hmm..... how bout with the order taker who tried to charge me double. They do offer all of their sandwiches in a lettuce wrap however when I said I needed a totally gluten free sandwich and please use clean utensils and change your gloves, he neither indicated on my receipt nor said anything to the sandwich maker....strike one!! The actual sandwich maker made my sandwich on bread.... since my request was never mentioned!! Strike 2!! Third, they forgot my chips!! And to make the whole event a crappy experience they also put Mayo using the spatula that is generally smeared across someone else’s bread! I did not realize they put Mayo on the sandwich until I got home ! I ended up eating it anyway but will NEVER go back......I hate to be the p-a customer but I hate even more when people do not pay attention ! Word to the wise-watch these folks like a hawk!! They all look like they dropped out of high school anyway.

They offer their sandwiches as a lettuce wrapped "unwich" that are actually very good. I've gotten their original chips which were gf as well. Jimmy John's is probably my favorite sandwich place. Not sure if they use clean surfaces for preparation though, but I haven't gotten sick. Wouldn't recommend if you are very sensitive.

I adore the unwich! I usually get the club lulu and add shredded lettuce, onion cucumber, oil and vinegar! I did get the provolone cheese once and got sick ( different location) so steer clear of the provolone cheese! Anyways, they always do a phenomenal job of avoiding cross contamination.

They do an unwich. You can have most of the sandwiches in a lettuce wrap. The Tuna is not GF.

Jimmy Johns is great they offer the sandwiches as lettuce wraps and they have great options. My fiancé with a gluten intolerance loves their tuna salad sandwich as an unwich, he hasn’t had a problem with it. If you have celiacs then I would probably question the staff about their cross contamination precautions.

I made the staff aware that I have celiac disease and they changed their gloves and set new papers along the counter; as well as, they got new topping containers from under the counter of all the toppings I wanted.

Most (maybe all?) of their unwhiches (lettuce wraps) are gluten free and very good! There is, of course, some risk of cross contamination, but having eaten there several times, I have never had a problem.

Everything is safe except for cheese, bread, barbecue chips, vinegar and salt chips, and maybe the ranch because they make it in house? I won't eat it. The meat is fine the vegetables are fine mayonnaise mustard vinegar oil oregano all of that I've tested with my name a sensor several times after unwitch is delivered and it's perfect. I really like the potato chips too!

Unfortunately they don’t use a dedicated space or utensils. It’s a super busy shop.

Celiac friendly?

No

There are so many others that do have celiacs that cannot have gluten and it would be great if Jimmy John's would have gluten free options. It's really common. Something to think about. I love the sandwiches!

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!

Their nutritional information is readily available on their website to let patrons know which foods contain which top allergens!

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

I get the Un-witch and it is delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cross contamination impossible to avoid.

Celiac friendly?

No

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?

Yes

They had no idea what cealiac disease was HORRIBLE

Celiac friendly?

No

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!

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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”

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

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)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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