I have eaten here before in the restaurant and had a good experience. The servers were knowledgeable and things came out fine.

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY/TAKE AWAY!! I had a craving so I ordered online and picked items marked gluten sensitive and made a note. The food tasted good but I was sick about 45 mins later with a gluten reaction.

Staff is very knowledgeable, they even have a gf roll to bring out when everyone else gets the pre-meal bread! A fair amount of options, not the entire menu but you definitely have choices to make. We've been a handful of times and have always enjoyed the food.

Joes has a fair amount of GF options on the menu. If they know you have an allergy or are celiac, they will offer a gluten free roll with your own oil and cheese. It’s not as great as the focaccia, but at least you don’t get left out. The gf options used to get lumped into a separate “healthy” menu for the low carb and vegetarian crowd. Makes me feel like they think gluten free is a lifestyle choice. Last visit, items were marked on the main menu, but everything is different during the pandemic. No dedicated fryer and I don’t think they offer gf pizza. The real pizza is made in a separate area, so lower risk of cross contamination with the main kitchen. Before the rona, the kids could sit at the pizza bar and the cook would give them dough to knead. They loved that.

Only 3 stars because the last few times I’ve been underwhelmed. Maybe covid affected the recent visit, but menu was more limited, both for me (celiac) and the kids (gluten eaters). No gf roll offered. We all felt like the meal was meh. Not bad, just nothing special. It’s nice to know there are things I can eat here if the group chooses it, but I think I’ll pass on Joes for a while.

This location has outdoor seating in the back, which is nice when the weather is good.

Great restaurant with multiple gluten free entrees available including GF pasta. The shrimp scampi was great. They even offered GF bread rolls! Cocktails are also delicious

Been there 3x, got sick all 3x at this location. Not worth the risk.

Owner came over and brought out my gf meal separate from my families dishes to ensure no cross contamination happened between other meals. Very very happy with that and gf menu is great!

Update: I’ve been glutened at least twice. I’m sad to say I can no long trust this place.

I ordered take out, and there were so many options! The food was delicious. I’m not sure if the bread roll I got was GF so I didn’t chance it, but it looked good!

Edit: came back to eat, the roll was amazing!! Such good dip too.

Celiac friendly?

No

Safe for celiac, very knowledgeable staff! Wish they could offer French fries!

Menu clearly marked, server knowledgeable, I ate a veggie based ragout which was served with very soft gluten free rolls. No reaction. Would recommend!

Extremely disappointed in NYAJ. Used to be my favorite restaurant as I am celiac and have to eat gluten free. Almost all appetizers have been eliminated and only tuna wontons now. The chicken quesadilla used to be fantastic.

Had an awful experience in Warwick. Your prices are outrageous now for the quality of food. I ordered gf haddock and the entire meal was terrible. The fish came out smelling like fish and the gf crumbs were not even baked on. The mashed potatoes were like glue and the broccoli well undercooked. My husband and I paid $60 for two meals that we could have gotten at a Chili’s for much less. What has happened? I used to love NYAJ and went at least twice a month. I do appreciate eating gluten free, but the quality of the food ...

They came out with gluten free rolls and oil that was amazing. My dinner was really good too. They took precautions to prevent CC. Didn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ask for Mason if you have Celiac's, he is a server whose sister has it. He has taken fantastic care of me the last half dozen times we have been here. He remember my three orders that I flip between (Ahi tuna salad, ask for the orange sesame dressing with it, impossible caprese burger and the squash bolignese.) Yummy food, good care, great place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great and consistent gf although their options have changed recently.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was the best I’ve come in contact with since my diagnosis. Our waitress asked right away if we had any food allergies and brought me out delicious gf rolls right away. So many options and I had no problems. We will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Able to order gluten free and dairy free easily. Wait staff know what questions to ask and clarify if there are any questions regarding your allergy. Complimentary gluten free roll and oil (make sure to request without parm if dairy free) available! Food is always delicious!

I really enjoy going here! The menu is limited and I don’t enjoy a lot of things they have on it but the pesto salmon is so good. I also order the Ceasar salad with Gf croutons (which isn’t even on the menu). The carrot cake is naturally gluten free. The bread they serve as an appetizer has recently improved. It used to be an onion loaf and now it’s plain buns that are pretty good in the oil.

Have eaten here 7 times, most recently this week, and always had a fantastic food experience. I have a dairy allergy as well as gluten issues and am always pleased by the number of options, even a dessert! Make sure you ask for their gf bread too!

Sadly, my daughter got glutened here at our last visit. We said many times that she had celiac and no gluten. She had salmon and mashed potatoes.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was delicious and the server was very knowledgeable. They brought out hot gf bread and dip. I had the jambalaya, and it was a--mazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food! The staff was knowledgeable and they brought Gfree rolls to the table. They also had gfree breadcrumbs. I have celiac and was completely fine eating here

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is my second time I have been sick from this location. This time I got a plain burger, no bun. No toppings. With mashed. I was assured everything was gluten free and she was aware of my severe allergy. I still got vey very sick. The other locations like Westwood Ma i have been to multiple times and have never been sick. Norwell is NOT CELIAC SAFE.

Celiac friendly?

No

I've eaten here many times and never gotten sick!

Great GF options- very accommodating menu. Staff is very knowledgeable

Good menu of GF options. To start, they bring bread and oil dip, ask for the GF bread (and its super tasty).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This chain has always been good with my gluten and dairy allergies. However, they first reduced the gluten free menu to an allergen menu and now they have reduced that. They’ve made the gluten free selection limited to almost salads. Then I ordered a salad, and after eating it at the bottom I found a white creamy substance that may be dairy. Regardless, it shows that the faculty is not safe for crosscontainmination anymore. I was worried when I saw the limited menu and this proves my suspicions true.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have eaten here several times with no issues. Tons of gf options. I always stress the importance of celiac/avoiding cross contamination and they seem to be good about it. They have gf bread options.. food is pretty decent too!

They understand cross contamination here and do a great job with safe food prep. I had an impossible burger on a GF bun and didn’t get sick! I’d definitely eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve gotten sick here so many times I just stopped coming. The manager kept apologizing and giving me free meals to make up for it, but my health just isn’t worth it.

It may be OK to eat in, but my experience was with to go orders, and they consistently packed my food so it would be in the same bag as other, gluteny food (for my family), often under their food. This despite me always telling them to pack my items in a separate bag. Take-out is just too complicated for this restaurant, which in my time eating there never once explained packing rules to their host staff, and who ignored my pleas to protect the food I’d ordered from cross-contamination in the bag.

The kitchen also made errors, like undercooking food (that I had to finish cooking at home).

I live a half mile away, but after a year of fighting with them, I just can’t eat here anymore.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great menu, both food and drink options. Staff seemed knowledgeable about contamination issues. The gluten free rolls are great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The server introduced themself and immediately asked if anyone at the table had food allergies, wrote them down, and asked any questions I had. I'm also dairy free, but they still brought out a gf roll and plain olive oil to dip (their usual oil dip has parmesan cheese in it). I had their jambalaya, which was huge and had amazing flavor! The manager brought my dish out separately from the others and verified gf/df before placing in front of me. An entire menu within their menu is dedicated to those with special diets. Can't speak highly enough of them!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waiter was great, the food was amazing. I loved they even offer gluten free rolls for me while my family had the regular bread. A very good GF menu with many options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This has been a mainstay for us until today. We had an awful experience here. They refused to accommodate our needs, as they only had a set brunch menu. Not only did they not accommodate us, they were rude and had little to no understanding of our gluten free needs. Sad to cross this off our go to list.

Good stuff. Never made me sick.

Disappointed,my two reasons for coming the lettuce wraps and the fried are no longer offered gluten free

Wait staff very knowledgeable! They are careful to keep cross contamination at a minimum. Been several times, 4 with celiac and never had a problem

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I so appreciate the gluten free menu with Paleo and keto options and the flexibility to substitute. The customer service was also excellent all around, from Chef Jeff to our server!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was so careful when they found out we had celiac. Delicious rolls with olive oil. Loved my club sandwich. My daughter enjoyed her plain pasta with butter. The dessert was out of this world - the chocolate cake was like cheesecake consistency and fantastic! Happy to see GF beer on the menu, didn’t try it this time but will be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Been here multiple times and enjoyed the food. The staff is knowledgeable on celiac disease. *update- the last two times I've been here I have gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

They are not quite like they used to be. In the past, the gluten free plates were a different color, the manager brought the food over and the servers were very aware of cross contamination. The last two times we have been the servers did not know what celiac was, th food was delivered together and the plates were the same. We asked numerous times to confirm it was gluten free and it was, but the care they used to take is now gone.

Great gluten free menu. Food was great we go here often.

I used to love going to NYAJ. Have had a few poor experiences now, at least for this Warwick location. Burnt chicken. Over peppered spaghetti sauce. Over cooked gluten free noodles. And worst of all, their endless gluten free rolls are now small, dry and don’t have that fresh baked feel or taste. And to top it off, we had poor service. I won’t be going back nor recommending it again.

The best GF bread in God’s world! Plus a a whole separate GF menu, full of flavor! This place proves gluten-free doesn’t have to mean delicious-free!

Their cheeseburger is amazing! I also loved the gluten free chicken parm AND the warm roll. They go to a lot of trouble and if shows.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Plenty of Gf options, girlfriend with Celiac's had no problems and staff were very aware of the situation.
