The BEST gf bagel I’ve ever had and was questioning if it was actually gf. I have celiac and they knew proper precautions and have a separate area & appliances. And a GREAT view. Will absolutely be coming back!!!

Despite being listed as celiac-friendly, this place is absolutely not safe for people with celiac disease. When I asked for a glove change, the staff told me there was “no point” due to cross-contamination on the counters and made no effort to accommodate. There is no dedicated appliance (toaster/panini press), and their attitude toward basic safety measures was dismissive at best. It’s very clear they do not understand or respect the precautions necessary for someone with celiac. Disappointed and would not recommend for anyone needing a medically gluten-free meal. Very disappointing, it was my favorite before becoming diagnosed.

GLUTEN FREE bun option. Truly a take-out restaurant. It is located in a shopping center and there is limited seating inside and outside. The smash burgers were awesome and the fries were hot, fresh, and delicious. A tad expensive (two yum yum burgers and fries, one with a GF bun came to $42) but really good.

My first Jersey Mike’s sub was yesterday at the shop just over Wright Memorial Bridge in Kitty Hawk. It was a portobello and Swiss on a gluten-free bun. So good! Very friendly employees as well. 👍👍
