What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burgers (bunless, with gluten-free prep)
- Burgers served in a bowl (bunless)
- French fries prepared in a dedicated fryer (gluten-free when prepared as described)
- Note: Gluten-free buns are not offered at this location; many guests opt for lettuce wraps or bowls instead.
- Tell the staff it’s an allergy (not just a preference) and ask them to flag the order.
- Request a lettuce wrap or bowl, and confirm that the burger is prepared on a clean area with gloves changed.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so some cross-contact risk remains, particularly around toppings, sauces, or shared utensils.
- Peanut oil is commonly used for fries, which is a consideration for peanut allergies and some sensitive individuals.
- While the majority of experiences documented are positive, there are occasional reports of miscommunication or lapses, especially during peak times or at certain locations. Staying proactive and clear about the allergy, and watching the preparation process, helps mitigate these risks.
