What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burger (bunless) — commonly described as safe when allergy protocol is followed.
- Burger in a bowl (bunless) — safe option when bun is avoided.
- French fries — reported as gluten-free when prepared in their dedicated fryers/oil, though note peanut oil is used.
- No gluten-free buns are offered at this location; confirm bun alternatives (lettuce wrap or bowl) at ordering.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk cannot be eliminated entirely.
- Success hinges on clear allergy communication: telling the cashier, having the order flagged, and ensuring gloves are changed and surfaces cleaned before your food is prepared.
- Fries are typically the only item cooked in the dedicated fryers; toppings and condiments carry inherent cross-contact risk if not handled carefully.
- Peanut oil is used for frying, which could be a concern for peanut allergies; this is separate from celiac safety but worth noting if you have multiple allergies.
- While many guests report excellent safety when following the allergy protocol, there are occasional reports of missteps, underscoring the importance of being explicit about allergy needs at the point of order and observing the prep process.
