What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free sub served on a Schär GF bun (this is the most consistently cited safe option when prepared with the reported precautions).
- Sub sandwiches that can be ordered on the gluten-free bun (as noted by multiple patrons) — for example, combinations like hook & ladder or Italian-style builds on the GF bun have been mentioned in reviews as safe when staff follow safety protocols.
- Any sandwich built with the gluten-free bun, provided the staff follow glove changes, separate prep, and labeling for allergy orders.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The operation is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact is possible.
- While many staff members reportedly follow careful procedures (glove changes, separate prep spaces, and labeled orders), there is no blanket guarantee of a fully gluten-free environment.
- A nationwide note from Firehouse Subs indicates that the gluten-free roll is available but that the overall environment cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free experience.
