What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burgers (bunless)
- Burgers served in a bowl (bunless)
- Hot dogs bunless
- French fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (peanut oil)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent cross-contamination risk compared to truly GF-only operations.
- Condiments, toppings, and milkshake mix-ins can vary in gluten content and may be prepared in ways that introduce gluten if not carefully managed.
- Peanut oil is used for frying, which is a consideration for people with peanut allergies.
- While many reports describe strict allergy protocols and visible communications by staff, a minority of experiences note lapses or inconsistent implementation, underscoring the importance of clear, in-person communication and vigilant staff.
