⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Recent negative experience: a review from the last few weeks reports that a gluten-free item (pierogis) was mislabeled as GF and later corrected, which is unsettling for someone with celiac disease.
  • Cross-contact risk: while several reviews mention dedicated fryers, there are also mentions of mislabeling and questions about whether all GF preparations are isolated from gluten-containing procedures.
  • Ingredient caveats observed: at least one reviewer warns about IPA-marinated items labeled GF due to gluten in the beer used.
  • Overall, the presence of clear GF labeling and dedicated fryers is a positive signal, but the very recent mislabeling incident introduces meaningful caution. For someone with celiac disease, this translates to a "risky" signal rather than a guaranteed safe environment, unless you can confirm current kitchen practices and confirm no cross-contact during your visit.
