What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burger (bunless)
- Burger bowl (bunless)
- French fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The site is not a dedicated gluten-free facility; buns exist and are a gluten source, so cross-contamination risk remains if not properly managed.
- Cross-contact risks can arise from toppings, utensils, or shared prep surfaces if precautions aren’t followed.
- Peanut oil is a repeated point of attention for readers with peanut allergies; if you have a peanut allergy, factor that into your decision.
- The strongest safety signals come from staff changing gloves, announcing allergies, isolating orders, using separate bags, and clarifying that certain components (like fries) are cooked in dedicated fryers. When these steps are followed consistently, many diners report safe experiences.
