What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Grilled nuggets
- Grilled chicken sandwich with a gluten-free bun (bun comes packaged separately)
- Waffle fries (frequently described as GF and cooked in a dedicated fryer)
- Gluten-free bun (when requested, typically packaged separately)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Facility-wide gluten-free status: The location is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contact risk exists in shared kitchens, surfaces, and utensils, so explicit staff communication and adherence to allergy protocols remain essential.
- Dependence on location practices: While many recent guests report strong safety practices, there are occasional reports of miscommunications or temporary unavailability of certain GF items. This underscores the importance of clearly labeling allergies, requesting fresh gloves, and confirming that items are prepared in a separate space or with separate utensils when possible.
- Practical takeaway: If you have celiac disease or extremely high sensitivity, plan to explicitly flag your allergy, confirm glove changes, and request items to be prepared separately and bagged/boxed to limit cross-contact.
