What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burger (bunless)
- Burger in a bowl (no bun)
- French fries (gluten-free; typically prepared in a dedicated fryer)
- Hot dogs without buns are mentioned in broader Five Guys allergen guidance, but this report’s explicit, location-specific references focus on burger-bowl or lettuce-wrap formats and fries
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Buns contain gluten and are grilled separately from patties at many Five Guys locations; still, the buns themselves are a potential contamination risk if not managed properly. This location’s evidence consistently emphasizes allergy orders, glove changes, and separate prep when needed, but as with many chains, risks can persist if protocols aren’t followed.
- Peanuts are present in the dining environment (peanuts on tables in some locations; peanut oil for frying is common) and can complicate safety for those with peanut allergies. For celiac disease specifically, gluten cross-contact is the principal concern addressed by these precautions.
- A few negative notes exist in the broader review set (e.g., reports of missed allergy flags or inconsistent glove changes). While these are not the majority in the recent evidence, they underscore that consistent communication and adherence to allergy protocols are crucial for ongoing safety.
