What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Fries (GF when prepared in a gluten-free fryer)
- Chicken tenders (breaded, described as GF when cooked in a dedicated GF fryer)
- Cheese curds (GF fryer used)
- Gluten-free pizza crust (GF option available)
- Gluten-free desserts such as gluten-free lava cake

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility in the available information. While there are strong indications of dedicated fryers and knowledgeable staff, a few past reviews mention experiences that raise questions about absolute uncross-contamination guarantees.
- A minority of reports reference instances that caused illness or doubts about gluten-free prep, including cases where non-GF components were involved. Recent positive feedback, however, suggests improvements and strong safety practices in place.
- Overall, there is a balance of safety signals with occasional cautionary notes; recent evidence tilts toward safe experiences for most guests with celiac disease, but vigilance remains prudent.
