What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers can be ordered on gluten-free buns or prepared as lettuce-wrap burgers.
- All fried items (including nuggets/flashers, fried pickles, fries, and tots) are repeatedly described as gluten-free when prepared in the GF fryer.
- Gluten-free buns are available for burgers, and some builds can be served without a bun in a bowl or lettuce wrap.
- GF-friendly bowls or salads are mentioned in some listings, though the core explicit safe items are buns, GF fried items, and GF sides.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Occasional reports of cross-contamination or missteps exist, including a few incidents where gluten exposure occurred despite ordering GF, or where a bun choice wasn’t properly honored.
- A few reviews highlight staff training or communication gaps, sometimes leading to unsafe outcomes for individuals with celiac disease.
- While many customers report never having a reaction and credit dedicated fryers and strict procedures, the presence of negative experiences indicates that perfection isn’t universal across all visits or locations.
