What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- French fries are repeatedly highlighted as gluten-free when prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer. This item is explicitly identified as safe in multiple accounts.
- The restaurant commonly offers a gluten-free meat selection and a gluten-free sauce set through a dedicated GF menu, though not every sauce is guaranteed GF (Texas Twang often mentioned as not GF in some reports). If choosing sauces, asking and confirming which are GF is advised.
- The existence of a dedicated gluten-free menu (at the register and online) is repeatedly noted, helping guests align their choices with GF safety.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There are isolated reports of adverse reactions after gluten exposure, underscoring that cross-contamination can still occur if orders aren’t properly managed or if staff overlook the GF instructions. Busy times, miscommunication, or mix-ups with sauces are cited in a few reviews.
- While many patrons praise the safety protocols (glove changes, surface wipes, dedicated fryers, and staff who are knowledgeable about GF), the existence of non-GF sauces or occasional missteps means you should stay attentive and speak up if something seems off.
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so the potential for cross-contact exists in theory, even though their documented practices aim to minimize it.
