What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Turkey burger with gluten-free bun
- Egg & cheese sandwich on gluten-free hamburger bun
- Kale salad without croutons (as noted in at least one gluten-free-focused account)
- These options are explicitly described in the collected information as involving gluten-free buns or clearly GF preparations in specific contexts. Other items labeled GF exist in the broader menu discussions, but safety can depend on preparation methods and cross-contamination controls at the moment of service.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Shared fryers and potential cross-contact: multiple accounts mention fries, potatoes (and potatoes-based sides) in the context of cross-contamination, with some reports indicating fryers may be used for non-GF items.
- Grills and cooking surfaces: there are notes about the possibility of cross-contact on grills or surfaces, and some diners were advised that to guarantee safety, modifications or careful handling would be needed.
- Inconsistent information: a few guests reported conflicting information from staff about what is safe, underscoring the importance of asking questions and confirming current preparation practices at the time of visit.
- Historical incidents: a small number of past experiences describe gluten exposure in the context of airport dining, though recent reviews often reflect improvements and continued labeling of GF options.
