What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers and sandwiches made with gluten-free buns or gluten-free bread
- Gluten-free toast or GF bread for sandwiches (including avocado breakfast sandwich on GF bread)
- BLT on gluten-free bread
- Hash browns and eggs prepared in dedicated or clearly separate prep surfaces/utensils
- Salads prepared without croutons or with gluten-free dressings (with care to avoid gluten-containing toppings)
- Dishes that can be prepared with gluten-free components when communicated clearly (e.g., avoiding cross-contact by using separate prep areas)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contamination is a possible risk if precautions aren’t followed.
- Some reviews indicate no dedicated fryer for GF items at times, which can raise cross-contact concerns for fried sides.
- Not all dishes are guaranteed to be prepared in a gluten-free environment every visit; guests should reaffirm safety practices (e.g., gluten-free bread/toaster use, separate prep surfaces, and glove changes) with the staff for each order.
- While several reviewers report strong staff knowledge and careful handling, the variability of kitchen practices means ongoing vigilance is prudent.
