What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free sandwiches prepared on Schär GF buns (extra charge noted in several reviews). These buns are used across many standard sub options.
- Safe-prep practices frequently referenced in reviews include: gloves changed for allergy orders, separate cutting surfaces or trays, and packaging/foil their GF subs to minimize cross-contact.
- When available, some diners report the GF bun being used with various classic subs (e.g., hook & ladder, Italian, Philly-style subs) prepared with attention to cross-contamination.
- Important caution: while many experiences are positive, there are statements from official GF materials noting the restaurant cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free experience in all locations.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk remains a consideration.
- Guardrails described in the collected information include glove changes, separate utensils, and labeling of gluten-free orders. Some reviews note that items may be prepared in back areas or with foil in use to minimize contact with standard bread.
- An official gluten-free rollout page notes that they cannot guarantee an entirely gluten-free experience, underscoring inherent risk in a chain environment.
- Occasional notes of GF bread stock depletion exist, which could affect planning for sensitive diners.
