What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free burgers served with gluten-free buns (e.g., Big Mac, Cheeseburger, etc., when GF bun is selected).
- Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer.
- Gluten-free buns used for burgers (commonly noted as Schär or similar).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists because the facility is not dedicated solely to gluten-free production.
- At times, gluten-free buns have been toasted in the same area as regular buns or otherwise handled in ways that raise cross-contact concerns.
- Some diners report illness after consuming GF options, underscoring that safety is not absolute in a non-dedicated facility.
- Ongoing precautionary practices (glove changes, separate packaging, posted GF guidance) appear to be used in many cases, but consistency varies with busy periods.
