What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Bunless burgers served in a lettuce wrap or in a bowl (no bun)
- Fries served in a dedicated fryer (gluten-free)
- Lettuce-wrapped burgers or bowl-style burgers with toppings added separately
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists due to buns and other gluten-containing items present in the kitchen. However, there is a strong pattern of proactive allergy communication: staff call out allergy orders, gloves are changed, prep areas are cleaned, and items are sometimes kept on separate packaging.
- Fries are generally treated as gluten-free because they’re cooked in a dedicated fryer with peanut oil; this is helpful for celiac diners but a concern for peanut allergies.
- Some reports note variability in how consistently allergy orders are communicated during peak times; ongoing vigilance is advised on every visit.
- Shakes and some toppings may pose gluten risks depending on preparation and shared equipment; confirm before ordering.
