Before ordering I asked an employee if I would be safe to order a sandwich with celiac. She assured me that it would be safe, but did not write allergy anywhere on my ticket (despite me asking).
She changed gloves and wiped down the slicer then the surrounding area (covered with crumbs) before going back over the slicer again. I should have asked her to cancel my order then, but didn’t. After placing my GF sandwich on a clean paper to avoid CC, she slid it over to the toppings that were used for all regular sandwiches. I asked her to please cancel the GF sub (I’d still pay for my husband’s that was being made). She then offered to have it topped with veggies straight from the cooler (not from the line), and I agreed.
As I was checking out, I looked over to see a second employee come back to the line, grab onions, and walk back to place them on my GF sub. At this point, I’ve already paid for both subs, but asked them to just keep my sandwich. The cashier asked if I had celiac (which I’d already shared and asked to be noted on my order). She came back and shared that the other employee said the onions were fresh - I said, respectfully, I just watched her make three regular sandwiches with them. The cashier then offered to remake my sandwich (without onions because it turns out they didn’t have any in the cooler). I just wanted to get out of there, so I agreed.
After all of that… my sandwich was incorrect, and I was sick within 45 minutes of eating half of it. Celiacs beware.

Idea of gluten-free is nice but didn’t work in practice. Bread was cut on paper with dedicated knife. Good!
Then sliced with normal knife and moved across table with regular bread crumbs. Definitely high cross-contamination and no adequate safety measures.

Consistently have great experiences here. GF subs are assembled in the back and I have never had an issue.
have not a sub in 6 years. so happy that a sub chain is finally gluten friendly.
Yes
The staff is knowledgeable about cross-contamination and you can watch them as they prep to ensure safety. Very sensitive and never gotten sick from them and the staff is always friendly and understanding.

I was visiting my daughter in Charlotte this past weekend and we needed a quick bite to eat. We decided to try JM's new GF subs. I was so impressed with the service at this location (the two women working there were awesome)! As soon as I asked for GF they asked if it was for a medical reason which I replied yes. They then made my sandwich in a totally dedicated area! I will be back to this location when visiting Charlotte!
Yes
There is a risk of cross contamination however they clean the slicer the counters and change gloves. Then they make your order on a separate tray. So they do take it seriously. Always had a good experience here. Helpful and friendly staff.

The staff was very friendly and considerate when we informed them we needed it to be celiac safe. They cleaned off the equipment, changed gloves, used a designated knife when cutting the gluten free bun. The gf bun came sealed from its own location. We did not add any condiments since those things would have came from the same container used for all the breads. Steer clear of condiments such as their mayo, mustard (anything that is used to dip knife in and spread) and you should be okay.

They have a gluten free bread option along with a gluten free snickerdoodle. That’s as far as their gluten free options go.

They have gluten free sub rolls or bowls for the subs. They use Udi’s sub rolls and take special precautions for gf orders. Make sure you mention you have a gluten allergy. They have lots of options for subs. I eat here weekly.
