What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Sandwiches made with gluten-free bread (GF bread available for sandwiches when requested)
- Baked potatoes (spuds) with GF toppings
- GF salads (often with no croutons or with careful modification)
- Nachos and potato-side options labeled GF
- GF soups (some options available)
- GF-friendly sides like fruit or certain salads, depending on preparation
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is a non-negligible risk if strict controls aren’t followed.
- Positive signals come from staff who proactively notify the kitchen, change gloves, and use dedicated prep approaches; however, isolated incidents or inconsistent practices at some locations have been reported.
- To maximize safety, rely on explicit allergy communications at ordering, ensure the kitchen is alerted, and opt for clearly labeled GF items and separate prep when available.
