✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread for sandwiches
- Baked potatoes (GF options, including “Spud Max” style builds in several reports)
- Salads and sides that can be GF when properly prepared or labeled (e.g., items marked as GF; some reviews note options like fruit, potato salad, broccoli as GF alongside the main dishes)
- That GF bread be used for any sandwich and that gloves are changed and counters cleaned when needed.
- Whether the order will be prepared with allergy awareness and if the kitchen can note your allergy clearly at the ticket.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a possibility in a shared kitchen.
- Some reviews stress the importance of ordering in-store to ensure proper allergy notes are communicated to the kitchen.
- There are occasional older reports indicating ingredient or bread availability issues at certain times; newer experiences tend to show improved practices and clearer labeling.
- While many diners with celiac disease report safe experiences, a minority have described getting sick or encountering gaps in knowledge at times, underscoring the value of clear in-person communication about your needs.
