✅ Reported safe options
- Salads (gluten-free by default): Hook & Ladder Salad; Italian with Grilled Chicken Salad; Firehouse Salad
- Side options: Side Salad (gluten-free; skip croutons)
- Tuna Salad on gluten-free roll: celiac-safe when assembled on the GF roll

- Hot Specialty / Build-Your-Own items when ordered with a gluten-free roll (examples include Club on a Sub and Hook & Ladder, among others listed as safe with GF roll in prep guidance)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contamination risk persists due to shared prep areas and equipment.
- Some menu items (buns, certain sides, and soups) are not gluten-free by default; even with GF bun substitutions, careful handling is essential.
- Stock fluctuations (e.g., gluten-free bread temporarily out of reach) can affect the ability to order a fully GF sandwich on the spot.
- While many customers report positive experiences with glove changes, surface cleaning, and fresh prep areas, these practices are not guaranteed for every order or every staff member.
