What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers served on gluten-free buns (with fries cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer)
- Fries and chips prepared in a dedicated fryer
- Nachos that are labeled gluten-free on the menu or can be prepared GF with appropriate substitutions
- Salads or other dishes that are marked gluten-free or can be modified to be gluten-free (as advised by staff)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There are occasional reports of gluten exposure or gluten-related symptoms, including instances described as glutened, which highlights that cross-contamination risk can still exist.
- The establishment is not described as a fully dedicated gluten-free facility, so ongoing vigilance and explicit confirmation of procedures (glove changes, separate prep areas, and fryer usage) remain important.
- With high variability in experiences, a cautious approach—clearly communicating needs, requesting visible confirmations about GF methods, and allowing time for prep when necessary—helps maximize safety.
