What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Bunless burgers served in a lettuce wrap
- Burgers served in a bowl (bunless)
- Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (gluten-free)
- Hot dogs without buns (bunless) when available
- Buns are not gluten-free here; if you need gluten-free, use lettuce-wrap or bowl formats.
- Shakes and some toppings may have gluten-containing ingredients; verify specifics if you’re sensitive to all gluten-containing products.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so buns and other gluten-containing items exist in the same general environment.
- Cross-contamination risk remains a consideration, especially if orders are not clearly labeled or glove changes aren’t done consistently.
- Peanut allergies present a real consideration due to peanut oil and peanuts commonly being present on-site.
- While many reviews cite strong allergy protocols (glove changes, allergy flags, separate packaging), occasional reports describe lapses or confusion, underscoring that outcomes can vary by staff and shift.
