They have solid allergy protocols (using fresh containers, changing gloves, toasting on foil). The cashier said that all of the toppings are GF, but I played it safe (she didn’t seem 100% certain, and things like meatballs are a red flag). I played it safe and had a turkey sub. It was fine, but not worth the $18 it cost.

As soon as I told the staff I have a gluten allergy (I didn’t feel saying I have celiac was enough), they immediately said they have a protocol for allergies and will change their gloves, clean the counter, and use fresh items for my sandwich. They made me feel VERY comfortable. They don’t have a gf menu but have a Schar gf sandwich bread, which only comes in the medium size and is $2 extra. I got the hook & ladder sandwich because there are no sauces except mayo and mustard.

They have a gluten free sub bun, they put it on foil when toasting the sub so it doesn’t touch the rack. Change gloves when asked. Took precautions to make sure there was as little cross contamination as possible. Still the possibility since it is not a gluten free restaurant. Had an amazing experience and the staff were so kind.

Staff was super friendly and well informed. Gluten free bun tasted amazing, and he did say that the toaster is shared but the bread is placed on foil. Best sandwich I've had in months!
