What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread for sandwiches
- Large baked potatoes (often referred to as “Spud Max” or similar)
- Salads and sides that are clearly labeled as gluten-free (with requests like no croutons when applicable)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in theory. However, many diners report effective precautions when they disclose an allergy and when staff take explicit steps (glove changes, separate prep, and kitchen communication).
- Some reviews emphasize the importance of confirming details (such as bread availability, whether items can be prepared on GF bread, and whether certain toppings or sauces are GF). There are occasional reports of miscommunications or stock issues, which underscores the value of clear, in-person allergy instruction at the counter.
