What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burgers (bunless)
- Burgers or hot dogs served in a bowl
- Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer
- Note: No gluten-free buns are offered at this specific location; confirm any other toppings or sauces for gluten-free status if you have strict needs.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is theoretically possible, and safeguards rely on protocol rather than a sealed GF environment.
- Peanut oil is used for fries at many Five Guys locations, which introduces peanut-allergy considerations separate from celiac safety.
- While many reviewers report excellent allergy communication (yell-outs like “allergy” to alert the team, glove changes, and separate bagging), there are occasional reports of lapses or less confident experiences. As with any chain, experiences can vary by shift and location.
- Overall, the strongest ongoing risk comes from buns and any topping/condiment ingredients that are not verified GF for your needs.
