What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free shrimp tacos (explicitly noted as GF in recent feedback).
- Nachos prepared with gluten-free considerations (GF-friendly version noted in menu discussions).
- Burgers with a gluten-free bread option or GF bun/bread substitutions.
- Flatbreads and pizzas with gluten-free crust options (including a dedicated cauliflower crust for pizzas; GF crust for flatbreads available all day; 12" GF crust options upon request).
- Items labeled gluten-free on the main menu, and dishes described as gluten-free capable (gfc) on the menu page, with guidance to inform the server about allergies.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility. There are reports that nothing fried is gluten-free if a non-dedicated fryer is used, highlighting a cross-contamination risk for fried items.
- Some sources indicate that dedicated kitchen space or equipment may exist for gluten-free preparations, but this is not consistently documented across all evidence, so the safety profile relies on current, in-restaurant practices and staff communication.
- Occasional negative experiences exist (e.g., miscommunications or delays when safety steps are involved), though these are less recent and not representative of the majority.
