This was fairly quick and easy to customize for my dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). The crust was delicious for gluten free but needed to cook longer. Overall it was a great meal!

TLDR: best gluten free waffle I've had in years!! --- I randomly found this place on Google while visiting the area and decided to give it a try when I saw they had gluten friendly pancakes, waffles, AND french toast available. Most places I see only have 1 on a good day, so this was a refreshing surprise. Now 9 times out of 10, when I get gluten friendly pancakes at a restaurant, the pancakes I make at home are better by a mile (not because I am a chef, but because what is served is basic at best). The waffle here was flavorful, as opposed the syrup on chalk experience I've come to expect since dropping the gluten. Side note: they serve maple syrup instead of the fake stuff too...another pleasant surprise. I'll definitely be making my way back to the chain to get another and try the other two! Service was also fast and attentive, food came out hot, etc. 10s across the board 👏🏾👏🏾

I saw online that Jersey Mike’s has gluten free bread, so I had to try it. Extra special THANK YOU to Kevin who, not only asked if I’m gluten free for preference or allergic because he would’ve wiped everything down and got a new knife if I needed. He also went so far as to make me a custom sandwich *I’m gatekeeping the sandwich 😁* I really appreciate the, above and beyond service! ❤️I also love the gluten free snickerdoodle cookie!

Fantastic place to eat with friends! We went for lunch. I'm vegetarian and gluten free and there were yummy veggie tacos. The veggie tacos were so good even meat eaters would enjoy them! Our waitress was friendly, service was quick. I would absolutely eat there again next time I'm in the Charlotte area!
