What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bun on a burger or grilled chicken sandwich (bun comes packaged and is heated in that packaging)
- Steamed broccoli
- Coleslaw
- Applesauce
- Side of pickles
- Salads (omit croutons): Garden Fresco Salad, Strawberry Fields Salad, Chicken Cashew Salad, Cranberry Bacon Bleu Salad
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Shared fryers: Fries and some sides are often cooked in oil that may touch gluten-containing foods; some days may have dedicated fryers, others may not. Confirm local practice before ordering fries.
- Grills and prep areas: Gluten-containing items and gluten-free items can share surfaces; requesting clean surfaces and fresh gloves helps reduce risk.
- Packaging and handling: GF buns are typically packaged separately and warmed in their own packaging, which mitigates some cross-contact risks but does not eliminate them in a busy kitchen.
- Gluten-free status not guaranteed: The restaurant does not have a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact is a possibility even with careful ordering.
