🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free burgers served on gluten-free buns (Schär buns are specifically referenced in multiple accounts).
  • Fries prepared in a gluten-free environment (dedicated or separate fryer) to minimize cross-contact.
  • Gluten-free burger options are often packaged in sealed bags or boxes to reduce contamination risk during handling.
  • Ordering gluten-free items is typically done at the counter, with several accounts noting staff awareness and practices to avoid cross-contact.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk remains, particularly during peak times.
  • There are instances of customers reporting illness after eating, which highlights that cross-contamination can still occur despite precautions.
  • Several accounts emphasize packaging, separate prep areas, glove changes, and careful handling as key safety measures, but inconsistencies can occur in busy periods.
