What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Sandwiches prepared on gluten-free bread (GF bread for sandwiches). They can substitute gluten-free bread for most sandwiches; you can get any sandwich on GF bread.
- Gluten-free bread options are commonly used with sandwiches (bread brands mentioned in reports include Udi’s).
- Baked potatoes (e.g., Spud Max) prepared as GF options.
- Gluten-free salads that are labeled as GF on the menu.
- The menu includes a dedicated gluten-free option set at the counter, with staff noted to ask about allergies and to take precautions when preparing orders.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contact remains a theoretical risk.
- However, multiple diners report that staff take allergy requests seriously, change gloves, and communicate with the kitchen to minimize cross-contact. There are also accounts of customers requesting not to toast gf sandwiches or to use separate prep steps, and staff complying.
- There are isolated negative experiences reported in other locations or years, including cases of gluten exposure, which underscores the importance of explicit communication and ongoing diligence. Overall, recent evidence for this Tulsa location leans positive, but the risk is not zero.
