What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Meats and vegetables that are labeled gluten-free on the menu (and often marinated in GF sauces)
- Table sauces and marinades that are gluten-free
- Brown rice (explicitly noted as gluten-free in at least one account)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contact risk is reduced when grills are swapped or cleaned between guests; several accounts mention grill changes or replacements to limit contamination.
- Some reviews indicate potential cross-contact if non-GF items are cooked on the same grill or if staff miscommunicate, so it’s wise to confirm that your grill is being reserved for GF orders and to ask for changes if you’re ordering items with gluten-containing marinades.
- A few isolated reports describe situations where gluten-containing items were not properly identified or where a server’s guidance conflicted with kitchen info; these underscore the need for proactive communication and asking for a manager if any doubt remains.
