What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Chicken flashers (gluten-free chicken nuggets) prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer.
- All sides that are gluten-free, including fries, sweet potato fries, tater tots, and fried pickles.
- Burgers available on gluten-free buns or can be served as lettuce-wrapped or in a bowl.
- Paleo burger bowls (GF option).
- Sauces and dressings that are GF are available, with staff guidance on which are safe.
- General messaging across multiple experiences indicates a strong emphasis on gluten-free labeling and separate handling for GF items.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- A few older or isolated experiences describe cross-contact risk or ordering mistakes, including instances where gluten-free items were not prepared or bagged correctly or where buns or sauces may have caused issues.
- As with many multi-location chains offering GF options, the risk level can hinge on staff training, adherence to allergy procedures, and clear communication at the point of order.
- Overall, the preponderance of recent positive feedback about dedicated fryers, GF buns, labeled items, and staff knowledge suggests a favorable safety profile, but vigilance remains important, especially in busy times or at locations with variable staff experience.
