🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free burger served on a gluten-free bun. (Referenced by a diner who spoke with the manager on duty and reported no reaction.)
  • Nachos made with gluten-free chips. (Multiple reviews indicate safe experiences with GF chips and awareness of GF needs.)
  • Mushroom and Charred Corn Enchiladas (GF) listed as a gluten-free option on the menu.
  • Fish entrée labeled as gluten-free, and a vegetarian entrée labeled as gluten-free (both noted as GF options on the gluten-free menu mentioned in reviews).
  • Ravioli prepared gluten-free (Safe experience noted by a diner).

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. The establishment has historically offered gluten-free options and a gluten-free menu in some reviews, but does not operate as a dedicated GF facility.
  • Cross-contamination risk exists, as with many non-dedicated kitchens. Some reports suggest that items can be prepared with careful substitutions or separate components, while other notes highlight that cross-contact precautions may vary by item (e.g., some fried items may involve shared fryers; at times GF chips were used to mitigate that risk).
  • While recent experiences have been positive, earlier impressions highlighted variability in GF offerings and the importance of communicating dietary needs upfront. Overall, diners who clearly stated their needs tended to have safe outcomes when staff were knowledgeable.
