What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free subs on Schär buns (e.g., classic Firehouse subs that are commonly ordered GF). Several diners have reported ordering a Hook & Ladder or Italian sub on GF bread with good results.
- Salads and toppings can be used, provided the staff follows gluten-free prep practices (labeling, glove changes, separate prep areas) per what’s been observed in practice.
- If you choose a sub, ask specifically about the GF bun availability and whether it will be prepared in the back or on foil to avoid contact with regular bread.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists.
- Staff widely change gloves and use separate prep surfaces or trays, and some orders are heated on foil to avoid contact with regular bread.
- The brand notes that a completely gluten-free experience cannot be guaranteed at all locations.
- Occasional issues include GF bread being temporarily unavailable; some toasting practices may vary by item, with some people avoiding toasting to minimize cross-contact.
