⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The kitchen environment is not gluten-free, so cross-contact is possible despite precautions.
- Some items (notably certain fries) may not be gluten-free due to shared fryers or preparation practices; at various times, fryers have been described as shared or not dedicated.
- The restaurant provides a gluten-free menu and staff training, with practices like changing gloves and using clean utensils, but incidents of gluten exposure have been reported, emphasizing the need for vigilance, clear allergy notes, and confirmation with the kitchen for each order.
- Given it’s a chain, practices can vary by location; always ask for the GF menu, inform staff of the allergy, and request that the kitchen notes be followed and food be brought out separately when possible.
