What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free buns available to substitute on burgers (often identified as Udi’s buns in related materials).
- Lettuce-wrapped burger options (bunless) as an alternative to a GF bun.
- Fries, tater tots, and certain sides cooked in dedicated fryers (with many reviews noting dedicated fryers for GF items; verify for the exact location and item).
- Burgers and some chicken burgers can be ordered with GF buns; many reviewers highlight this option.
- Some diners report that other GF-friendly items exist on the menu when requested, including items that can be prepared GF or served bunless.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists because the location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- Some fryers may be shared for multiple items, including hot or sweet potato fries, which can introduce cross-contact risk if not properly managed.
- A few reviews describe mixed experiences when fryers or surfaces were not fully isolated or when gloves/surfaces weren’t adjusted promptly. While many staff are described as knowledgeable, experiences can vary by moment and location.
- One recent account suggested some uncertainty about certain gluten-free milkshake offerings; verify current GF shake options if milkshakes are part of the plan.
