What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burger or hot dog without buns, served as:
- Lettuce-wrapped burger
- Burger in a bowl
- Fries, typically in a dedicated fryer (gluten-free by design in this context)
- Note: Shakes and some toppings may contain gluten depending on mix-ins; verify via allergen information or staff guidance. Buns are not gluten-free at this location.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is inherent cross-contamination risk in any shared kitchen. However, numerous recent reports describe robust allergy protocols: gloves changed, surfaces cleaned, allergy orders yelled to the kitchen, and separate bags for allergen orders.
- Fries are typically prepared in a dedicated fryer with peanut oil; this is a documented potential concern for peanut allergies and cross-contact with toppings and condiments should still be monitored.
- The open-kitchen environment and high-traffic reality of a fast-food place mean vigilance is important; when you communicate clearly at the counter (and watch for glove changes and surface cleaning), reactions are unlikely based on recent evidence.
