What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burger or sandwich made with a gluten-free bun (GF bun) as described in recent positive dining experiences.
- Fries prepared in a dedicated fryer (used in at least one recent visit to minimize cross-contact).
- Gluten-free buns themselves (noted as part of the menu or preparation in some reports).
- Pasta options described as gluten-free in the context of gluten-free menu labeling on the restaurant’s offerings.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility. While there are strong signals of careful handling (clear GF labeling, staff knowledge, and a dedicated fryer in some cases), cross-contact remains a potential risk if GF items share equipment or preparation space.
- Older experiences include a notable concern from years past about gluten-free assurances, which tempers absolute certainty. However, recent positive experiences indicating careful ordering and verification help balance that risk.
