What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Explicitly gluten-free items discussed in the collected information include:
- Chicken (roasted, tenders, wings) labeled as gluten-free with no gluten ever going into fryers.
- Fries, identified as gluten-free and commonly served as a bread substitute in GF builds.
- The menu notes gluten-free and halal chicken options; some entries indicate the kitchen is designed to minimize cross-contact and provides allergen guides at registers and on the website.
- Open-face serving concepts (instead of bread) are mentioned as a way to keep meals GF where appropriate, though not all sandwich components are GF.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- While numerous positive reports emphasize a dedicated gluten-free fryer and careful handling, there is historical mention that some menu items are not GF (bread for sandwiches, mac and cheese, corn bread). This signals a potential risk if a diner selects or isn’t sure about specific items.
- Several reviews stress the importance of consulting the allergen guide and speaking with staff to confirm ingredients and preparation methods, especially for items that might be served with gluten-containing components or when substitutions are needed.
- Based on the information, the strongest safety signals come from explicit GF preparation claims and recent positive experiences; the occasional non-GF item on the menu remains a risk if not carefully chosen.
