⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact risk exists in typical restaurant workflows.
- Fries and some prepared foods may be cooked in shared fryers or with shared equipment, which can introduce gluten if not properly managed.
- While staff training and a dedicated gluten-free menu are common, there are occasional reports of gluten exposure, particularly in busy times or if staff are less experienced.
- Guests should explicitly inform servers of their celiac status, request the GF menu, and ask for kitchen precautions (glove changes, separate utensils, and flagged allergies) to minimize risk.
