✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers served on gluten-free buns with fries prepared in a dedicated fryer.
- Fries can be oven-baked in some cases to avoid cross-contact.
- Gluten-free pasta options are available when prepared with gluten-free handling; some guests have reported successful experiences with gluten-free pasta and dedicated prep for sauces.
- Fish/shrimp dishes prepared with gluten-free modifications when reviewed with the chef, with careful handling noted by several guests.
- Gluten-sensitive or allergy-focused menus and staff readiness to discuss modifications and substitutions.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists in principle.
- Positive safety practices (chef visit, pink tickets, dedicated fryers) reduce risk, but there are several recent reports of cross-contact or reactions, indicating safety is not absolute and depends on consistent execution.
- Some guests report gluten-containing components slipping into meals or miscommunications about ingredients, illustrating that details matter and experiences can vary day-to-day.
