🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Protein style burger (lettuce-wrapped) — explicitly supported as a safe ordering method for gluten allergies when prepared with care.
  • Fries — commonly described as gluten-free when fried in a dedicated fryer; avoid mixing with other items that contain gluten.
  • Flying Dutchman (two patties with cheese, no bun) — appears to be a frequently used bunless option that some diners report as safe when allergy protocols are followed.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Buns contain gluten, so buns are off-limits for celiac diners; the main safety hinge is avoiding cross-contact between bun and non-bun prep areas.
  • Cross-contamination risk can arise from shared utensils, spatulas, or grills unless proper precautions are taken (glove changes, separate prep surfaces, and careful handling).
  • Onion preparation and shared equipment have been cited in some experiences as potential risk areas, underscoring the importance of asking staff to designate a safe prep zone and to use fresh gloves and separate utensils.
  • Because this is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, outcomes depend heavily on staff adherence to allergy protocols and the specific location’s execution of those practices. Most recent evidence supports strong precautions when properly invoked.
