Gluten Free at Not Your Average Joe's

This place was great! Tons of options which made things so easy. I even got my own gf bread and dip so I could eat right along with everyone else. Had the turkey avocado blt and would definitely get it again.

The food was great here. The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free eating. Would be nice if they had an independent fryer. Lots of gluten free choices. We really enjoyed the gf bread with oil dip.

Favorite restaurant! I go here all the time and have never had a reaction. The manager brings out the food to ensure it’s gluten free. They also have the best gluten free bread!!

Knowledgeable staff and good sized menu. Food is tasty.

I’ve seen great reviews about this restaurant, but I honestly wasn’t impressed. I don’t think the gluten free menu was very big. They advertised as having gluten free chicken parmesan, but all it consisted of was chicken with some melted cheese on top. The food was bland and lacked flavor. There are better places than this to go for gf dining.

I have eaten here many times with no issues! They have good gluten free options for kids as well as adults. Staff are knowledgeable and explain how they keep everything separate. This is a good place to eat with a large group.

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.

OMG the Gluten Free bread is SO yummy! So soft, delicious and spongy... not dry and crumbly like most GF bread. The GF Chicken Piccata was Awesome!! They have a separate GF menu (orange) with lots of GF options... even Dessert! I posted photos but not sure where they went.

Have ordered Take-out twice now. I like how there is a separate gluten free menu and also an option to mark “no gluten” when ordering online. Forno-baked chicken quesadilla and steak wedge salad are both delicious.

Appetizers, many meal selections and dessert options all gluten free. Also GF bread and dipping oil/parm cheese at the table. Waiter was very knowledgeable. Not everyone at our table ordered GF. Manager brought out all GF dishes to ensure they were correct and not cross contaminated.

The staff was very accommodating, even had delicious gluten free starter bread! Wide variety of food on their GF menu, including pastas that tasted like regular pasta. Passionate about allergies and very knowledgeable about celiacs. Would recommend to anyone gluten free or not, very good experience!

Has extensive gluten-free menu. Staff very knowledgeable, as soon as we asked for gf menu they brought out gf rolls and separate plate of dipping oil. Daughter (Celiac) had chicken piccata and practically licked the plate clean:)

The staff was so knowledgeable about gluten free options and the GF menu was extensive. Had the lettuce wraps, clam chowder and grilled scallops. Phenomenal food. Such a great experience.

Wonderful gluten free menu with many options. Scallops with roasted corn and tomatoes was excellent.

The staff was very helpful even in ordering salad dressing and noting which were gluten free and which weren’t!

Separate gluten free menu. I had the chicken quesadilla and did not get sick

Very good service. They had a separate gluten free menu and were very clear that they didn’t contaminate. The bread was delicious and so was the food.

Soooooo good for celiac! We had the GF pasta 4-cheese with the sausage option. Didn’t get sick and it was good! lots, Lots, LOTS of options! A fantastic place which is cognizant of celiac and GF people!

Best GF experience ever! Very big GF friendly menu with GF knowledgeable and accommodating staff!

Waiter didn’t even ask about allergies. Stay away!

Probably the best place I’ve been to. It’s the only place that I’ve been to that brings gluten free bread out before the meals. Their gluten free menu is great!

Joe’s has an extensive GF menu, GF bread and GF rolls (both caramelized onion), and GF pasta, however, depending on the wait staff and how busy it is, you need to be careful to ensure you meal is actually prepared GF. I have had a few instances where I have asked the staff who delivers my meal if it is both GF/DF and they were unsure about one or both allergens. Ultimately, an awesome menu but you need to be proactive about advocating for yourself.

Separate menu, free GF bread (not bad). Most items are gf replacements though. I’d like to see less replacement bread and more options that are naturally GF. Burger wasn’t bad. I’d go back I think.

Staff is trained and very knowledgeable. Great food and atmosphere. GF food is amazing!

Honestly, probably the absolute MOST allergy friendly place I have eaten at. The Gluten Free menu options that I have tried are great, and the servers are always so vigilant for food allergies!

The menu selection is awesome. Food was amazing and the bread with dipping oil was to die for!!

The food was great. The homemade hamburger rolls were delicious, the tomato soup tasted really fresh and had a nice flavor, and the pasta was good. I'll definitely be back!

The fact that they have a gf dinner roll to begin with is amazing but it’s also DELICIOUS. Would go back just for the bread but the rest of the menu is also great and extensive.

Had a good choice of GF options. Waitress was new and she said she wasn't sure about some things but was willing to find out for us. Brought a separate dipping dish with the GF roll. It was warm and tasty. Food was okay overall.

It has been 3 months and I must say Joe’s has done an awesome job at redeeming themselves. I contacted the head office and they were wonderful at addressing the issue ( see below). I have eaten there 4 times since June. They put in the computer that I need to speak to the manager before ordering due to gluten. The manager makes sure the kitchen is aware and then he brings the food out. I don’t know if there has been a change to the kitchen, but in the past 8 months, I have had issues with cross contamination. Twice with barley in my food, which they said was due to a cutting board to close to the gluten food, and tonight I found a piece of pasta in my green beans. The manager said chances were that it was regular pasta. I loved this place and trusted them. Love the place! They actually have a menu that has quite a few choices. They seem to understand about celiac and gluten intolerance. Each time my meal was brought out separately.

Has stuff for everyone great place to go on a date service is great especially from nick he takes every step to make sure you are safe and feel comfortable just relaxing and enjoy your meal with fear of getting sick.

An entire separate menu dedicated to people with gluten allergy/intolerance. I felt so welcome! They even have gluten free bread to snack on. My waitress was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and gluten in general.

The staff was knowledgeable. My son had a cheeseburger and mashed potatoes. He loved having a GF roll to start the meal. They do not have a dedicated fryer so no French fries. Menu was extensive! Would def go back!

They have a menu that’s well-labeled for GF

Normally they do fine with GF but this time we had a really really crappy waitress who took no care with my allergy and after we ordered some gluten-free bread she told us that the wheat bread had gluten clearly to get a better tip.

This place is fantastic!! There is an entire Gluten Free Menu. A full menu not just salads or burgers! Chicken parm, scallops, lots of G F pasta plus lots of good sides plus desserts not just ice cream. Staff is knowledgeable about GF. And kitchen understands cross contamination. Very good will come again. Fresh food nothing canned. Prices are good considering the large portions. Will not be disappointed

My daughter, mother and myself are wheat and gluten sensitive. My daughter also has a dairy allergy. We received Excellent service. The staff was very accommodating. Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. This was the best GF meal we have had eating out in a long time. Will be returning here soon.

Amazing! Our waitress was so accommodating when she found out that I was the GF one out of our party of 6. She brought me GF bread to start and even asked if I needed separate dipping oil. When I ordered she verified that it was gluten free. They even had a separate person drop off my meal and he verified again it was gluten free. I’ve never been out to eat and felt so normal! Such a great experience!

Best bread ever! I don’t recall gluten-containing bread being this good. Have had celiac for 2 years now and this stuff is GOOD.

Love this place! And, the food is yummy. The carrot cake is amazing.

Gluten free bread, good gf menu. They are not cheap though, should be 2 $ signs not one.

I've been here twice this spring and have unfortunately had cross-contamination symptoms both times. The first time I visited, my GF bread was delivered with obvious residue from the regular onion bread on the base of the roll - it seems like they may not know to change their gloves. The second visit, I opted to forgo the bread, but felt mildly ill 24-48 hours later, which is my usual response to cross contamination. I'm extremely sensitive, so those who are not may have better luck!!

Have eaten their 20+ times and never got sick. Staff and managers know about Celiac. Food options are good. Bread is ok, but not nearly as good as Legal's. Love the GF Glutenberg IPAs-best GF beer available. Highly recommend NYAJ if you have Celiac.

The menu is to die for ! The bread and dipping oil is heaven .

Huge gluten free menu! Gluten free bread servers very knowledgeable about celiac. I have full blown celiac and did not get sick from eating there. I would definitely go back !

The waiter brought me warm spongy delicious gluten-free buns and Parmesan dipping sauce - and I was in heaven! That alone was enough - so delicious! Then my hamburger in a gluten-free bun came, and I was so happy to enjoy that rare treat. The staff are very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. They told me the fries are not gluten-free so that was a disappointment - I hope they can change that in future. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! I’ll definitely go back!

Incredibly celiac and allergy friendly. There are few celiac friendly restaurants in Woodbridge, but this is a safe place with knowledgeable staff. They have a large GF menu, and if you say you have celiac the manager/chef will probably come by or may even wait on you. Several good experiences. Did have one waitress once who was a little off her game since it was a very busy late night and slipped up with regular bread, but I checked before eating it since I’m careful, but it was a good reminder to be extra vigilant.

Amazing GF menu selection: appetizers, burfgers, pasta, dessert. Had a hard time choosing but went with 4 cheese pasta with added steak tips. Bread and dip were delicious.

The menu is good.. this particular sites execution of the menu is not good. I love the GF menu items at not your average joes but not this location. Always over cooked pasta and extra fillings in this to beef up volume of food instead of quality.

We were excited to go here after reading the reviews but were sorely disappointed. The utensils and plates were dirty, our waters had floaters in them and my celiac daughter was ill right after she ate. She had the gf bread which a piece looked like it had some green mold on it (she didn’t eat it)and had a hamburger and fruit. Hamburger was not good and bun was average. Not impressed with serving staff either. Would not recommend d for celiacs.
