What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burgers (bunless) or burgers served in a bowl.
- French fries in a dedicated fryer (gluten-free by default in many accounts).
- Milkshakes and other toppings are sometimes flagged as GF, but verify specific ingredients and potential cross-contact in shakes.
- Note: No gluten-free buns are offered at this location; you’ll rely on lettuce wraps or bowls.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists in some instances, particularly if toppings are prepared on the same grill as buns or if glove changes aren’t consistently applied. Several reviews reference careful glove changes and dedicated prep areas as mitigating actions, but occasional lapses have been reported.
- Peanut-containing fryer oil is used in some locations; while the fries are typically gluten-free, peanut allergies add an additional precaution.
- The franchise is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so the safest approach is to explicitly request allergy-specific handling (glove changes, separate prep surfaces, separate bags) and to observe the process if possible.
