What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers served on gluten-free buns (Udi’s) or as lettuce wraps.
- Sides potentially gluten-free when prepared in dedicated fryers:
- Fries
- Tater tots
- Crispy Brussels sprouts
- Other fryable sides that are noted as GF in some references
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contamination is possible if shared equipment or surfaces are used without strict controls.
- Recent positive experiences commonly involve requesting GF buns and confirming dedicated fryers; however, there are historical reports and general chain-level cautions about cross-contact in fast-food environments.
- Some diners report successful experiences with labeled allergy orders and visible cues (order markings), while others have encountered inconsistent results depending on the location and staff. Given the variability, it’s important to explicitly request gluten-free handling and to verify fryer status on the day of your visit.
