🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Grilled nuggets
  • Grilled chicken sandwich with gluten-free bun (bun often packaged separately)
  • Waffle fries (prepared in a dedicated fryer)
  • Fresh fruit cup

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • This location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contamination risk exists in kitchens that handle both gluten-containing and gluten-free foods.
  • Staff adherence can vary; to mitigate risk, diners are advised to request allergy flags, insist on glove changes, and confirm that GF items are prepared separately and bagged or boxed distinctly.
  • Some reports over the years remind diners to reconfirm safety practices at the specific visit, as practices can differ by shift or staff training.
  • In practice, many guests report safe experiences when they explicitly communicate their needs and rely on the established protective procedures (glove changes, separate prep spaces, dedicated fryers, separate packaging).
