🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Fries and tater tots prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (as described by several diner comments).
  • Bunless burgers served on a bed of fries (bunless option noted in multiple remarks).
  • Gluten-free options are mentioned in menu-related materials, with the understanding that buns are not always gluten-free and precautions are taken when fries are involved.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The official data does not label the restaurant as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk isn’t eliminated by facility designation alone.
  • Reported practices include dedicated gluten-free frying equipment and glove-changing when needed in some accounts, but there isn’t a consistently documented, facility-wide gluten-free protocol.
  • No gluten-free buns are reportedly available, which means some gluten-aware diners might need bunless configurations and careful cross-contact checks for toppings, sauces, and shared surfaces.
