🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Chili thickened with masa (corn) and described as fully gluten-free in at least one older account.
  • White chili (based on descriptions found in collected material) prepared in gluten-free contexts, with notes indicating GF preparation.
  • Note: Gumbo and some non-Chili menu items may contain wheat; crackers are used in some presentations but can be served in a way that minimizes cross-contact.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. This means gluten exposure is possible if precautions aren’t followed.
  • Gumbo has wheat in at least one account, which is a direct risk for cross-contact if ordered.
  • Crackers are present in the dining context, though some notes say they’re served in wrapped portions to reduce risk; confirm with staff.
  • Overall, cross-contamination precautions exist in practice (staff knowledge cited), but the lack of a GF-dedicated facility remains a limitation.
