✅ Reported safe options
- All fried items are described as gluten-free, including:
- Chicken flashers (nuggets)
- Fries
- Sweet potato fries
- Tater tots
- Fried pickles
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There is some variation in personal experiences. A minority of reviews report cross-contamination concerns or gluten exposure when ordering, often tied to buns or specific sauces or to gaps in staff training at particular visits.
- The majority of evidence points to dedicated fryers, glove-changing practices, and clearly labeled GF offerings reducing risk substantially.
- To maximize safety, clearly state your allergy, ask about the fryers and which items are GF, ensure gloves are changed for your order, and confirm that your food goes into a GF bag or is prepared in a dedicated area when possible.
