What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free subs made with Udi’s gluten-free bread
- Sub in a tub / bowl option for those avoiding bread
- Gluten-free cookies (Udi’s), sometimes available packaged
- Any sandwich can often be made gluten-free with proper precautions (gloves changed, dedicated knife, parchment paper, back-area prep)
- gloves changed
- dedicated knife and separate prep area or sheet of parchment
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk remains a factor in a shared kitchen environment.
- The strongest safety signals come from frequent, explicit gluten-free prep protocols (glove changes, dedicated knives, back area prep, parchment barriers). When these steps are followed, many diners report no adverse reactions.
- Busy times can slow down the process, and there are occasional reports of variability across staff or locations. However, many patrons explicitly praise staff for maintaining safety during peak times.
- Overall, the risk is not zero, but the weight of recent, location-specific evidence suggests careful handling can minimize cross-contact when the allergy is clearly communicated.
