What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Grilled chicken nuggets
- Grilled chicken sandwich on gluten-free bun (GF bun may be bagged/sealed)
- Waffle fries (frequently noted as GF when prepared in a dedicated fryer)
- Side salads that are explicitly noted as gluten-free (e.g., side salad, kale salad, fruit cup)
- Market/Cobb salads and other GF-prepared salads when clearly labeled or prepared with GF ingredients
- Gluten-free buns for sandwiches (often sealed or packaged separately)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in principle.
- Many reviews emphasize proactive measures: gloves changes, allergy flags on orders, kitchen staff briefings, separate fryers for fries, and GF buns that are wrapped or bagged separately.
- Occasional negative or uncertain reports exist (as with any large chain), underscoring the importance of clear communication and verifying current practices at the specific visit.
- Because the information base includes a broad set of experiences across locations, always confirm the local practices (e.g., dedicated fryer status and bun packaging) when you arrive.
