What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free fried chicken (as advertised by official posts and public statements). This is the only item clearly identified as safe in the collected evidence.
- No confirmation of other gluten-free items with explicit safety guarantees (e.g., specific GF buns or sides) beyond the general GF chicken claim.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business profile indicates it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently increases cross-contact risk.
- Public posts and some reviews discuss gluten-free claims (e.g., “gluten-free chicken” and even claims of a gluten-free fryer), but other sources and customer reviews describe cross-contact concerns and the absence of a fully gluten-free kitchen.
- The arrangement of food preparation (e.g., ghost kitchen setups, external prep spaces) adds uncertainty about consistent cross-contact controls.
- There are recent negative experiences noted by diners who felt cross-contamination risk was not adequately managed.
