What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Mexican Streetcorn Dip (labeled GF in reviews)
- Apple & Brie Chicken Sandwich with gluten-free bun
- Gluten-free side Caesar salad
- Gluten-free pizza (Pizza Week pizza GF)
- Nachos prepared with a dedicated gluten-free fryer (repeatedly noted by reviewers)
- The GF offerings are reinforced by mentions of a dedicated GF fryer and staff readiness to modify items to be GF.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Past negative experience: One older review (about a year ago) described an unfavorable experience for someone with symptomatic celiac, highlighting that safety needs can vary by visit. This serves as a reminder that experiences are not universally perfect.
- Isolated incident with gluten exposure: In one more recent account, there was an instance where gluten was served with a sauce, though the restaurant addressed the mistake and compensated the affected family. This indicates that, while safeguards exist, errors can occur and should be actively communicated and corrected.
- Overall posture: The facility emphasizes a GF menu and dedicated equipment, which substantially lowers cross-contamination risk. Still, as with any dining scenario, explicit confirmation of GF handling (e.g., fryer status, sauce ingredients, cross-contact practices) is prudent.
