What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches on gluten-free buns (bun is typically packaged separately to reduce cross-contact; burgers/ingredients are assembled in a controlled way).
- Salads without croutons (e.g., Garden Fresco, Strawberry Fields, Cranberry Bacon Bleu, Chicken Cashew) with careful preparation to avoid gluten-containing toppings.
- Gluten-free sides such as steamed broccoli, coleslaw, applesauce, and pickles.
- Gluten-free frozen treats and beverages, including:
- Concrete Mixers (vanilla or chocolate) without malt ingredients
- Plain shakes and certain sundaes with gluten-free toppings
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Fryers: not universally guaranteed to be dedicated; experiences vary by time and location. Some diners report dedicated fryers for fries, others note shared fryers or cross-contact risk.
- Grills and prep surfaces: cross-contact is possible if surfaces aren’t properly cleaned between orders or if gloves aren’t changed.
- Malt and certain mix-ins: some custard flavors and malt-containing beverages are unsafe for celiacs; stick to malt-free options and verify with staff.
- Always clearly communicate “gluten allergy” and ask staff to use clean utensils, separate prep areas, and freshly changed gloves where possible.
- Because this is a chain with variable equipment across sites, it’s wise to confirm current practices when you visit.
