What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free hamburger buns are available for burgers.
- Lettuce-wrapped burger option (bun-free) is mentioned as a safe-adjacent alternative.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free.
- Reports vary on fryer safety: some accounts claim a dedicated GF fryer for fries, while others indicate the fryer is not dedicated or that cross-contamination risk remains due to proximity to batter stations.
- A recent positive note: a server worked with the kitchen to ensure separate handling for burger, bun, and onions and to grill components separately. A later note cautions about high cross-contamination risk around fry stations and dairy-related battering.
- Overall, success stories exist where separate pans/grills were used and buns were avoided or substituted, but the variability means a cautious approach is prudent.
