What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burger (bun-free)
- Burger bowl (bun-free)
- French fries (gluten-free; cooked in a dedicated fryer)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location does not operate as a dedicated gluten-free facility; buns exist on the menu elsewhere, and cross-contact remains a general risk in fast-casual settings.
- Fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer in most reports, but peanuts are present in the dining area and peanut oil is used for frying, which poses a risk for peanut-allergic diners.
- Some toppings and condiments may carry gluten or be prepared in shared equipment; guests are advised to clearly communicate allergy status and verify how each item will be prepared.
- While many guests report strong safety practices (glove changes, allergy flags, separate bags), there are occasional reports of less rigorous handling. Overall, recent experiences trend positive but a small risk remains inherent to non-dedicated facilities.
