What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Cheeseburger on a gluten-free bun
- Fried chicken sandwich (GF-friendly preparation indicated)
- Fried chicken bites (GF fryer in use)
- Garlic parmesan tater tots (GF fryer indicated)
- Other GF-marked menu items are commonly mentioned by diners as safe when prepared in the dedicated fryer or with GF procedures
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists in theory.
- A strong protective factor is the reported use of a dedicated gluten-free fryer for GF fried items.
- Staff are frequently described as knowledgeable about gluten-free needs and questions are often confirmed with the kitchen.
- Some reviews reference non-GF dishes on a shared menu; while many GF options are clearly labeled and prepared safely, occasional off nights or miscommunications could occur, as with any multi-dish kitchen.
