Celiac safety profile

Restaurant
1321 Euclid Avenue Suite 1, Bristol, VA 24201
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread for sandwiches
- Baked potatoes (including varieties like the Spud Max)
- Salads with gluten-free options when croutons are omitted (and when items are labeled GF)
- Other clearly labeled GF sides (where identified in reviews)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries cross-contact risk in a high-volume kitchen.
- Positive signs include staff asking about allergies, changing gloves, and taking steps to alert the kitchen. Yet, there are negative reports of gluten exposure (glutened meals) and incidents where requested GF bread or preparations were not consistently provided or were mishandled.
- To maximize safety, communicate clearly (state it’s a medical allergy if applicable), ask staff to change gloves, request clean utensils, and confirm that the sandwich will be prepared away from gluten-containing ingredients.
