What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free subs served on gluten-free Schär buns (explicitly mentioned in reports).
- Hook and Ladder sub on a gluten-free Schär bun
- Italian sub on a gluten-free Schär bun
- Other gluten-free sandwiches prepared with the same careful prep practices (glove changes, separate area, foil/paper handling) are reported in multiple reviews.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk is present in theory.
- However, numerous recent reports describe proactive measures: glove changes, separate prep surfaces, paper/foil separation, and labels indicating gluten-free prep.
- Some reviews note occasional gluten-free bread stock outages or variability due to it being a chain with shared equipment in some kitchens.
- In general, outcomes appear favorable when customers communicate clearly about allergies and staff follow documented precautions.
