🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free buns for burgers (including burgers that are commonly ordered with GF buns, such as the Big Mac when requested with GF bread).
  • Fries that are prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (as reported in multiple experiences; it’s not guaranteed at every visit but is a commonly described precaution when available).
  • Most beef burgers can be ordered with a gluten-free bun, based on customer reports of skewing options toward GF buns for many standard burgers.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The location is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contamination risk remains a consideration.
  • Some recent reports describe cross-contact or incorrect bun handling (e.g., GF bun toasted or prepared in proximity to regular buns), and at least one account notes illness after a GF order in a busy setting.
  • Several diners report that staff can take allergy considerations seriously, change gloves, and separate prep when asked, but consistency appears variable, especially during peak times.
