What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers can be served with a Gluten Free Bun (extra charge). This option is explicitly listed on the menu.
- Fries are mentioned by some patrons as being prepared in a dedicated fryer, which would reduce cross-contamination risk for those avoiding gluten.
- The facility is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination precautions depend on in-kitchen practices at the time of your visit.
- While there is evidence of GF Bun availability and at least one dedicated-fryer claim, these are not universal guarantees. Always confirm current practices with staff before ordering.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not designated as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk cannot be ruled out by default.
- Some safety assurances come from individual staff interactions and a manager’s statements in reviews; experiences may vary by visit.
- The most reliable safe path is to explicitly order gluten-free buns (when available) and verify that fries (if you plan to eat them) are cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and to confirm that all other components (sauces, toppings) are gluten-free.
