⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contamination risk exists in theory.
- There are historical reports of whether a dedicated fryer exists; some diners note no dedicated fryer, which raises cross-contact concerns for fried items.
- There have been mixed experiences with staff knowledge: most recent feedback is positive, but occasional visits describe less-than-ideal guidance or incorrect GF sides.
- To mitigate risk, some diners report requesting glove changes and separate packaging for GF components; this often helps, but it relies on proactive staff responses.
