This sandwich chain has some of the best gluten free bread I’ve had in a long time. I usually get my sandwiches delivered, and the gluten free bread holds up even with a 30+ minute transport time. Additionally, there are plenty of gf options for sandwich filling (I’m particularly a fan of the reading rainbow).
Make sure you let the employees know that your gf needs are based on “allergies” and not preference. The few times I’ve went to the Maryland Parkway location they’ve even gone so far to tell me that the tomatoes were cut with the same knives used to cut the bread, so they are very aware and informed about cross contamination. (However, they still have gluten products in the store, so please use your discretion!)

Great service. They prepared the sandwiches in the back where the ingredients were fresh.

They were very careful and knowledgeable. No issues afterwards. One of the best sandwiches I've had! I had the Menage A Trois. Delicious! The only problem is there isn't an Ike's near me!

I have gone to various Ike’s locations for years, and I am a sensitive Celiac. I have yet to get sick. They take extra precautions, so your food will take 15 extra minutes on top of a normal sandwich time. I recommend ordering in advance through the app or online. Also, the bread is incredibly dry, so order extra sauce on the bread. I normally order Italian dressing and ask it to be put on both sides of the bread before the toppings. It is a $3 upcharge for gluten free and then extra for the sauce, so know your sandwich will be pricey. So. Delicious. And. Worth it.
