⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- It is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists, albeit with many protections in place (dedicated fryers, allergy flags, and staff briefings in many locations).
- A minority of diners report gluten exposure or inconsistent prep communication, which underscores the importance of proactively communicating allergies and confirming elbow room for special prep requests.
- Desserts and certain kids’ items are frequently gluten-containing, so extra caution is advised for those items.
- Open-layout dining, shared fryers in some outlets, and variations between locations mean experiences can vary; when in doubt, ask to speak with a manager about the specific kitchen setup for that location.
