⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free environment; cross-contamination is possible due to shared fryers, grills, utensils, and prep spaces.
- Fries often cooked in shared oil; some reviews indicate dedicated fryers at this location, but others caution that fries may not be fully safe.
- Even when GF buns are used, buns, toppings, and sauces must be handled with clean utensils and separate prep surfaces to minimize risk.
- Some frozen custard flavors and toppings contain malted barley or cookie mix-ins; verify flavor-level ingredients and machine cleanliness.
