What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers served on gluten-free buns, with dishes flagged as gluten-free to prevent mix-ups.
- Fries and sides that are prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer or prepared separately when possible (with staff clarifying their status for that visit).
- Grilled or baked protein dishes (e.g., salmon, grilled chicken) that can be ordered with gluten-free preparations and sides.
- Desserts clearly identified as gluten-free, including GF brownies and GF ice cream options when available.
- Salads and bowls that can be prepared with GF components or substitutions, typically with explicit safety notes or allergy flags.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination is a real consideration at chain locations. While many guests report dedicated GF fryers and clearly marked GF items, a portion of reviews describe situations where fries or certain sauces were not GF or where there was back-and-forth about safety.
- The safest approach is to:
- Ask to speak with staff about gluten-free preparation and to confirm a GF fryer status that day.
- Request the GF menu or allergy notes to be reviewed by the kitchen manager or chef when possible.
- Choose items with explicit safety notes or those prepared separately from shared ingredients whenever available.
- Overall, the vibe is that this location takes gluten-free needs seriously, but vigilance on the day of dining helps minimize risk.
