What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers or sandwiches made with gluten-free buns that come in sealed packaging to minimize cross-contact. These buns are warmed and kept separate from non-GF items.
- Grilled chicken sandwich served on a gluten-free bun (explicitly reported as an option).
- Coleslaw and certain other sides that are reported as gluten-free by the restaurant staff, used as safer alternatives to fries when cross-contact risk is a concern.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Fries: Cross-contamination risk exists if fries are cooked in a shared fryer. Some frequent diners report dedicated fryers for fries at this location, but this can vary by day or staff, so it’s prudent to confirm the current status when you order.
- The official listing notes this is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so ongoing vigilance is wise. While many patrons have had safe experiences, cross-contact remains a possibility depending on what else is being prepared in the same equipment.
- As with any multi-item fast-food setting, the chance of cross-contact can change with staff, shift, or time of day. Clear communication about allergy needs is essential.
