What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free hamburger buns (Schär buns are referenced in multiple accounts as the GF option for burgers).
- Fries that are prepared in dedicated gluten-free fryers (as reported by several diners).
- Burgers that are ordered with GF buns and sometimes wrapped or boxed to indicate GF handling.
- A notable portion of diners report staff taking extra precautions (gloved handling, separate packaging, and explicit communication about safety) when GF orders are placed.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk can exist, especially during peak times.
- Some reports indicate that GF buns or meals may be prepared in a shared space or with shared equipment unless special measures are requested, which has led to adverse symptoms for some diners.
- A few diners report that ordering could be slower when GF precautions are taken (e.g., extra glove changes, separate packaging), which may reflect the diligence needed to prevent cross-contact, but also introduces potential delays.
