🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free bun for burgers (explicitly supported in multiple reviews)
  • Lettuce-wrapped burgers as a safe alternative
  • Burgers prepared gluten-free (some reviews assert that all burgers can be gluten-free or are prepared to be GF)
  • Note: Fries are generally not considered gluten-free at this location due to cross-contact risks; confirm fryer status if fries are desired
  • Sauces and shakes: verify gluten content before ordering; malt-based or gluten-containing sauces/shakes are commonly cautioned against

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact risk remains a core consideration.
  • Fries are commonly reported as not gluten-free due to shared fryers; some reviewers note no dedicated fryer and advise caution or avoidance.
  • Some sauces and shakes may contain gluten; verify ingredients and cross-contact protocols at the time of ordering.
  • Buns and toasting: some older experiences mention buns being toasted near gluten-containing buns; contemporary staff guidance may mitigate this, but not consistently across all visits
  • While many diners report safe experiences with GF buns and careful prep, other reviewers recount gluten exposure or gastrointestinal reactions, underscoring the variability and risk.
