🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Grilled nuggets
  • Waffle fries (when prepared in a dedicated fryer)

  • Market Salad (gluten-free options with grilled chicken)
  • Cobb Salad (gluten-free options with grilled chicken)
  • Hash browns

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Cross-contamination can occur if staff aren’t vigilant, but many diners report that glove changes, dedicated fryers, and allergy flags are standard practice at this location.
  • A few reviews describe less-than-ideal experiences (e.g., miscommunications about gluten-free items or occasional substitutions). These are not the majority in the collected evidence, but they do underscore the importance of clearly communicating an allergy and confirming each item.
  • It’s wise to reiterate “gluten allergy” at the counter and confirm that gloves are changed and items are bagged separately, especially for drive-through or busy times.
