What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burgers (bunless)
- Burgers served in a bowl (bunless)
- Fries prepared in a dedicated fryer (gluten-free when prepared as described)
- Note: No gluten-free buns are offered at this location; buns are cooked separately on a different part of the grill, and many toppings are consumed with caution. Always specify gluten-free/allergy when ordering to activate the allergy protocol.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contamination risk exists, especially around toppings, sauces, and shared equipment.
- While there is strong evidence of glove changes, dedicated fryers, and explicit allergy signaling, occasional reports describe missteps or variability in staff execution. In busy times or with new staff, there is a potential for lapses.
- Peanut oil is used for frying at many Five Guys locations, which can be a concern for peanut allergies even though it’s separate from gluten considerations. If you have both peanut and gluten concerns, communicate clearly and observe the process closely.
- Milkshake ingredients and some toppings can vary in gluten content; verify if you are ordering shakes or toppings that might carry risk.
