What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Brentwood Chicken Sandwich on a gluten-free bun
- Houlihan’s Burger on a gluten-free bun
- Handhelds that can be served on a gluten-free bun (additional surcharge applies)
- These items are explicitly described in the GF/menu documentation as being served with gluten-free buns or on gluten-free bases. Cross-contamination risk remains since the kitchen is not dedicated GF and there are general cautions about gluten-sensitive options.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is potential for cross-contact during prep and cooking.
- Some menu items are labeled gluten-sensitive rather than gluten-free, which indicates a risk of cross-contamination if not carefully managed.
- While there are gluten-free bun options and a gluten-free menu, there is no explicit guarantee of completely gluten-free preparation surfaces or dedicated equipment.
- Individual reviews note varying experiences with safety, reinforcing that outcomes can depend on staff communication and kitchen practices on that day.
