What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Grilled chicken nuggets (GF) — repeatedly identified as safe when proper precautions are followed.
- Grilled chicken sandwich with gluten-free bun — GF bun option is commonly available and often kept in separate packaging.
- Waffle fries — noted as GF when prepared in a dedicated fryer.
- Market salad and Cobb salad with gluten-free adjustments — GF-friendly options when prepared with appropriate toppings.
- Salads and grilled chicken options in general are GF-friendly when proper allergy protocols are followed.
- Note: The safety of any sauce or dressing can vary; some reports indicate certain sauces are GF while others are not listed as GF. Always verify the specific sauce/dressing status at the point of order.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in principle. However, many recent experiences emphasize proactive measures (glove changes, allergy flags, separate packaging, and dedicated fryers) that substantially reduce risk.
- Experiences vary by staff training and location. Explicitly say it’s a gluten allergy, request glove changes, and ask to bag GF items separately if possible.
- A few older or atypical experiences mention fryer variations or handling differences; when in doubt, confirm current practices with staff before ordering.
