It’s mostly safe. I don’t have a sense that they know what I mean about being gluten-free, but the food is kept separate. The chicken salad is delicious, if overpriced.

I find it safest to buy one of their prepackaged salads (by the pint or pound). I have sometimes gotten sick from buying a plate with a couple of different scoops.

Great tasting chicken salad. I tried the trio platter - with the classic, Dixie and nut salads. All were great, but the Dixie was my favorite. The manager said almost all of the chicken salads are gf. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because it was a little pricey (almost 10 bucks for 3 scoops and a pickle) and the regular girl at the counter didn't seem very knowledgeable and needed the manager's advice. Hopefully that will improve.

This location just opened recently. I spoke with one of the managers who happened to also be a sensitive Celiac like me. He said he eats safely at the restaurant and said I didn't have to worry about cross contamination. The rest of the safe was still too new to know much about GF dining, so make sure to speak with a manager. As for what to eat, I had the Classic Carol chicken salad with a bag of Baked Lays potato chips. The salad was fantastic. They have other chicken salad options, but that is the only one I recall at the moment. The manager I spoke with is also lactose intolerant, so he said there more options that were GF but contain dairy. I'm hoping they will consider offering a GF soup, but at the moment, he said they were not gluten free. All the same, it is nice to have a new option in Mobile for GF dining out.
The chicken salad all flavors are safe except the seasonal one with teriyaki and the bbq one. I had the Lauryn’s Lemon basil on salad with ranch. It was delicious! No reaction. They are willing to change gloves.

First visit to this chain restaurant. It was nice to have a large variety of chicken salads. I added the “Fancy Nancy” chicken salad to a plain “Classic Salad” (i.e. greens with a few additions). They do not have GF breads for the sandwich options. The soups available the day I was there were not GF. I enjoyed my salad (note: a regular cookie wrapped in heavy cellophane was on the side of my tray) and found it a satisfying lunch portion for a regular appetite. The order taker was attentive to my Celiac GF request and noted it on the register. My guess is the person who actually brought me my salad didn’t know this so added the complimentary cookie on the edge of the tray. She was surprised when I immediately removed it with a polite but emphatic “oh no” explanation. I will return for another visit in hopes the soups of the day are GF. The more we ask for GF options, the sooner they become available.

Allergen Menu posted online was very helpful. Unsure about cross-contamination procedures in kitchen, but staff was helpful when I confirmed that the wrap was GF. And it was tasty!!

Plenty of gluten free options! And you can ask for their allergen menu, they keep it behind the register. Quickly let me identify what on their menu is gluten free. At the time of writing this all their chicken salad scoops are gf and they have several side options too!

Went there for the first time today and got the gluten free wrap and the barbie Q chicken salad. Within 2 hours I was sick. I won’t be back.
