What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Protein Style burgers (lettuce-wrapped, bunless) — explicitly supported as a gluten-free preparation path.
- Fries — typically prepared in a dedicated fryer and noted as gluten-free in the evidence.
- Shakes — described as gluten-free in multiple sources.
- Flying Dutchman (two patties with cheese, no bun) — described as gluten-free in the secret-menu context and commonly ordered as a safe option when avoiding buns.
- Note: No gluten-free buns are offered, so lettuce-wrapped variants are the main safe option for a full burger.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there remains a non-zero risk of cross-contact from shared grills, utensils, or toppings.
- Some reports mention potential cross-contact with grilled onions or other toppings when not handled with a fresh glove or clean utensil, especially during peak times.
- The official allergen information notes that while accommodations are made, there is no guarantee that food will never be exposed to an allergen; communication and careful handling are essential.
- Fries and shakes are frequently cited as safer components due to restricted fry oil usage and separation, but vigilance remains important for all items if toppings or sauces are involved.
