Celiac safety profile

American Restaurant · Bar
1-7 South Avenue East, Cranford, NJ 07016
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten Free Burgers & Sandwiches (served on gluten-free buns)
- Gluten Free Fries (available from a dedicated GF fryer)
- Gluten Free Pasta (GF pasta option listed on the menu)
- Chips and guac (noted as safe when prepared using the dedicated GF fryer)
- Corn tortillas-based tacos (GF-friendly format using corn tortillas)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- A menu page explicitly states the restaurant is not an allergen-free environment, which implies some cross-contamination risk could exist for items not prepared in GF-oriented ways.
- While there are dedicated GF preparations (e.g., a dedicated GF fryer and GF buns), it’s not guaranteed that every dish or component (including sauces, dressings, or sides) is prepared without gluten-containing contact.
- With limited, explicit guarantees beyond the GF-focused practices, there is still some level of risk if strict GF protocols aren’t followed for every component.
