What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burgers (bunless or without bread)
- Burger bowls (protein with toppings, no bun)
- French fries prepared in a dedicated fryer (gluten-free by practice in this location)
- Hot dogs without buns (where available in some reviews) — typically served in a bowl or lettuce wrap
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contact risk remains, especially in a busy, shared kitchen with buns nearby.
- While many reports describe thorough allergy protocols (glove changes, area cleaning, allergy flags, separate packaging), there are occasional reports of missteps or less-clear communication. This underscores the importance of clearly stating your allergy and watching the prep process.
- Peanut oil is widely used for French fries, posing a risk for peanut allergies even when gluten-free precautions are followed.
- Always choose lettuce-wrap or bowl options and request visible glove changes and separate packaging; verify that the allergy order is clearly marked in the system and communicated to the cooks.
