⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Positive signal: multiple guest reviews highlight GF labeling on menus and staff knowledge about celiac disease and cross-contamination, suggesting proactive handling and awareness.
- Cautionary signal: there is at least one anecdote describing cross-contact risk on a shared grill surface, where a bun showed grill marks despite a gluten-free request. This underscores the importance of clear communication with the server about gluten-free needs and the kitchen’s procedures, especially in a non-dedicated GF facility.
- Overall, the presence of labeled GF options and staff awareness helps mitigate risk, but the lack of a dedicated gluten-free facility means vigilance remains essential.
