What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers on gluten-free buns (GF buns available for burgers)
- Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (distinct fryers mentioned in multiple accounts)
- Anaconda Pasta and other GF pasta options (gluten-free pasta dishes are prepared on request)
- Salmon or other proteins prepared with gluten-free preparation in mind (explicit note that some meals can be prepared GF; at least one guest reported a GF salmon dish prepared with dedicated prep)
- Gluten-free customization is common when a manager or chef reviews options at the table
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists if protocols are not followed consistently.
- There are multiple reports of cross-contact concerns, including one instance where bread was found on top of a rice dish after a period of safe meals.
- Some reviews indicate limitations in the gluten-free menu at times, or variability in how thoroughly a kitchen staff communicates and implements safety steps. The frequency and recency of positive reports, however, suggest that when the process is followed, many diners do not experience issues.
- Overall risk appears manageable when the chef is involved, safety steps are clearly documented for the kitchen, and the fryer/pan prep is dedicated to GF items. The risk is not eliminated, but it’s mitigated by strong allergy-focused practices that are often highlighted by guests.
