⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact risk exists due to shared equipment in some experiences.
- Some reviewers mention a shared grill and non-dedicated fryers, with varying levels of caution from staff.
- Allergy flags and surface cleaning are used in some instances, but responses appear inconsistent across reports and locations.
- Fries and some fry-related items may involve shared fry oil, depending on the encounter; several accounts note lack of a dedicated fryer for GF items.
- Overall, the level of safety appears to depend heavily on how rigorously staff communicate, clean surfaces, and segregate cooking surfaces on a given visit.
