Reliably gluten free. They have a diverse GF menu and knowledgeable servers. That said, the food here is not great. I don’t know if it’s just the GF food or all the food…? Bland burgers, the fries are not that good, my salmon was over cooked and dry (and it takes a lot to overcook and dry out salmon.) BUT I love and appreciate that they have GF bread to bring to the table and will bring you olive oil or butter for it. And that’s why I come back. And the wings and cocktails are good, too. So hooray for not getting sick and thanks for the GF bread.

I’ve dined at 3-4 of their locations and have always had no issues and know they are usually very careful. This recent visit could have gone differently if I didn’t have a watchful eye and super responsive wait staff and management. We were seated near their open concept kitchen. I could see our meals come from the kitchen before being delivered. My meal was easy to spot since it had the large allergy toothpick in it. I watched the prep person reach over my meal a few times to grab big handful of not GF fries to place on other plates. As my heart rate started to rise LOL! I saw the server drop fries near my plate. At that point, I couldn’t tell if they landed on my plate but decided to mention it to our server when our meals were delivered. When our meals were delivered by another staff person I started to relay my concern (very nicely I might add) about the possible cross contamination and low and behold, fries on the metal tray that my plate was sitting on. The staff person was VERY apologetic (and a bit horrified). She whisked away my plate. When our original server noticed I didn’t have my meal and figured out why he came to the table very attentive and apologetic. Then the manager came over and same thing - very concerned. I explained how I could see it happen, etc. My new meal was delivered promptly. When we received the bill they comped my meal. For me, that was totally unnecessary as they took their mistake very seriously and quickly made things right. Good job NYAJ ! You just might want to finish off the GF meals in a dedicated location.

This chain is no longer Gluten Free. They have lowered their menu to Gluten "Friendly".
We ordered a super crunch salad for some someone with Celiac in a take out order. Discovered a bread crouton in the salad. Manager informed us they do their best but can't guarantee GF. Received no compensation for inedible meal.

We had ordered a Supercrunch G-F salad* and noticed a cube of bread mixed in with the quinoa. In response to our concern, the regional manager said NYAJ cannot guarantee G-F and the menu now says “gluten sensitive,” no longer “gluten-free.” We have had more than one food safety issue with this restaurant.
*When ordering, we mentioned more than once that the customer has celiac disease. The receipt labelled the salad “G-S.”

Joe’s is truly a great Gluten Free restaurant. Many safe and delicious GF offerings, including dinner rolls that are great. Always delivered to my table separately from the others. Fresh, creative, and seasonal. In 3 years of visits there has never been a problem.

I had a turkey club on a gf roll. No dedicated fryer. Gf rolls were brought our before the meal when the bread tray came out. Server was knowledgeable, and the meal was brought out and confirmed as gf when they gave it to me.

The gluten free menu was presented at the same time as the other menus and the waiter asked if there were any food allergies before I told them I was celiac. There were plenty of gf options and my Waldorf salad with grilled chicken was plentiful and delicious. I felt welcome here and had no digestive issues afterward.

Since we moved to the DMV about 2 years ago this has been a go-to. Knowledgeable staff but we still always ask the questions and chat with the manager. They’ve always been accommodating and even excited about the gf options they provide.

I was a little worried if they would take the necessary precautions since they handed me a “gluten sensitive” menu. However, after talking to the waitstaff, they made me feel confident that they take allergies very seriously and have many celiac customers. (I would just make sure to make them aware of your allergy). They brought out gf bread rolls (which were super fluffy) and baked in a separate bowl. I enjoyed my mustard crusted chicken (which looked a little less appetizing than the regular one, but still was good). Would definitely come back.

Have eaten here several times. They have “gluten sensitive” menu could appeal to all. Food is GOOD and I have never had an issue. I’d highly recommend for lunch or dinner. The Burlington area has a wealth of gluten-free/ gluten-sensitive options. NYAJ is certainly among the top.
Eat here at your own risk. Our waiter basically said one word the entire time we were there. 2 gluten free meals ordered and 1 regular menu item ordered with gluten free bread and dip. He came and placed the bread down on the table with no word and walked away. It tasted so good I had to ask for his attention to come back to the table to confirm that it was gluten free. Where he said “oh no it’s not gluten free, we’re still waiting for that one to come out”. Find a better restaurant where the staff know how to communicate. I am now very sick from this restaurant.

Average is exactly what you get here. The gluten free menu has many things, but the quality of the food was mediocre at best. And if you are thinking that the $ on the listing means you are going to get a good deal. Think again. This place is definitely on the pricy side.

Ordered a burger, poor communication about gluten free. Burger was basically raw, took forever, and my friend didn’t get his meal until 20 minutes after I got mine. Did not feel safe about cross contamination.

One of the best GF restaurant experiences I have had. GF buns heated up with delicious olive oil based dip to begin with. I was given my own dip jar with the waiter saying ‘to avoid double dipping’ with my family who are not GF! Then breaded haddock (GF bread crumbs), mashed potatoes and broccoli. My family loved their food and we were given complimentary desert due to a delay in being seen when arriving - a GF carrot cake with caramel for me! Strongly recommend!!

It was so yummy. They had tons of options... and the regularly offered carrot cake is GF. Everyone gets a GF menu and they mark your order so the entire kitchen team knows. The host and all the waitstaff were well versed in safety measures. Best experience I've had in a restaurant in a long time.

There was a separate "Gluten Sensitive" menu and the staff asked whether my reasoning was due to allergy or sensitivity. In fact, my server was celiac. After explaining my allergies, they made sure to keep things separate. You do have to specify your allergies as not all ingredients are listed on the menu. I got a gluten free burger. The food was reasonably good and the atmosphere was nice. The only downside was the wait time during lunch which resulted in us waiting at our table for our food for 30+ minutes. Overall good experience though.

I was so excited to get gluten-free food while visiting family. After speaking with the restaurant staff twice, I was assured that gluten-free was no problem and they could also make sure that my food was also dairy free. We just picked up the food and got it home, after a 20+ minute drive each way, and instead of the gluten-free side I ordered I got *bread.* And instead of no sauce (and specifically no dairy), which we asked for, I got some kind of cream sauce with no lid on it that spilled all over the rest of my food. Ridiculous! I would never go back here again ever.
UPDATE: ever since eating this terrible food several days ago, I have been in digestive distress. I have serious doubts that my food was gluten-free. I do not have celiac, but I am gluten sensitive. Minor cross contamination doesn’t affect me, so I am fairly certain that the gluten-free haddock that I ordered was not at all gluten-free. I haven’t been sick like this since I have been off of gluten, and that has been nearly 6 years.

W have eaten there a few times and I haven’t had any issues. I saw some of the previous reviews so o was kind of worried however maybe they have updated their procedure. When we get there and I ask them for the gluten free menu they ask if it is a preference or an allergy and I let them know I have Celiac and they said they have to alert the manager and the kitchen. I haven’t had any issues.

They do not have a gluten free menu. According to the manager, the FDA advised them to use the term “gluten sensitive” in lieu of “gluten free” and they have a big disclaimer at the top that they can’t guarantee no gluten will be in the food. The manager mentioned it was largely because some ingredients may come into contact with gluten in the manufacturing process.
Save yourself the trouble and don’t eat here. I got guilted into eating here by my family because I trusted that they still had a gluten free menu and we drove like 45 minutes to find a safe option for me. The food made me sick. This place is definitely no longer safe for people with Celiac Disease, though it’s likely fine for folks with gluten sensitivity.

This is a great option for the whole family. There is a fairly extensive menu with sandwiches, entrees, and salads. I got the mustard chicken and my husband got the breaded fish. Both were delicious! My chicken was super moist and reminded of the non-GF breaded chicken my grandmother used to make. His fish was super flaky. The restaurant has a nice clean atmosphere and we had a manager bring out our food. We felt the GF needs were taken seriously and would definitely go back!

I ordered Mustard Crusted Chicken off of the gluten free menu and a gluten free beer. They brought my gluten free meal out first before any others.
My second time the waitress immediately asked if there were any allergies and brought me out gluten free bread that was delicious. I had sirloin tips and they were so good! I didn’t get sick after either visit. The food is great.

I’ve eaten at other locations and have found the menu clearly marked. Because of the pandemic we ordered take out. I called rather than use the app to make sure the order went in correctly. Three burgers: one beef, one beef and pepper Jack cheese. The third burger was the black bean veggie burger on a gluten free bun with a side salad. The packages were not marked, and the cheese was on the veggie burger, and the side salad for the gluten free burger had croutons on it (were they gf? I wasn’t going to find out they were not).

As soon as I mentioned a gluten allergy, I was provided a “gluten sensitive” menu and served gluten free rolls! I was wary of the *sensitive* phrasing, but the waitstaff seemed to take celiac very seriously and mentioned a dedicated preparation space. The chicken parm was delicious.
