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 (no bun)
- French fries (cooked in a dedicated fryer)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists because this is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, and buns are produced in the same general environment. However, many diners report strong allergen protocols being followed (glove changes, separate prep, allergy notes on tickets, and bagging separate orders).
- Some reviews describe missteps during busy periods or inconsistent glove changes by all staff, though managers or trained staff often correct course quickly.
- Peanut oil is used for fries, which is a separate allergen concern for those with peanut allergies, but gluten-related cross-contact risk from buns is a more common worry for celiac individuals.
- For those with very high sensitivity, recommended practice is to order in person, request allergy labeling on the order, watch the preparation, and opt for lettuce-wrap or bowl options with careful glove changes and separate packaging.
