What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burger without bun: served in lettuce wrap or bowl (explicitly supported as safe in the collected experiences).
- Fries: cooked in a dedicated fryer (peanut oil), described as gluten-free in multiple reports.
- (Note: Gluten-free buns are not available at this location; customers often bring their own bun or use alternative formats like lettuce wraps or bowls.)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The buns themselves contain gluten, so cross-contact risk exists unless precautions are followed.
- The majority of recent experiences emphasize explicit allergy protocols: staff announce allergies, gloves are changed, surfaces are cleaned, and orders are kept separate. When these steps are followed, many diners report no issues.
- There are occasional reports of inconsistent practices at other locations or instances where precautions weren’t followed, which underscores the importance of clearly communicating an allergy and verifying that the allergy order is respected at the moment of service.
- Peanut oil in the fryers is a factor for peanut allergies; for celiac safety, the key cross-contamination risk remains the bun on grills and toppings that could contact gluten-containing items.
