🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Grilled chicken items (nuggets and sandwich) with GF bun when requested and bun kept separate
  • Waffle fries prepared in a dedicated fryer
  • Salads that can be made GF (e.g., Market Salad, Cobb Salad) with careful ingredient choices
  • Side fruit cups
  • GF buns (packaged separately for assembly)
  • Say it’s an allergy (not just preference) so staff can mark and adjust gloves and prep

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination remains a theoretical risk if protocols aren’t followed.
  • While many diners report strong safety practices (glove changes, allergy flags, separate packaging, dedicated fryers), there are occasional negative experiences noted in the broader feedback.
  • To mitigate risk, rely on explicit allergy notes, confirm glove changes, and verify that fries and other items are being prepared in dedicated equipment when available.
