What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burger without bun: bunless burger served in lettuce wrap or in a bowl.
- Burger toppings: most toppings are considered gluten-free, but verify ingredients if you have multiple sensitivities.
- Fries: French fries (and Cajun fries) are cooked in a dedicated fryer with peanut oil in many locations.
- Hot dogs: can be ordered bunless (lettuce wrap or bowl) in many visits.
- Note: Gluten-free buns are not offered at this location.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk remains a consideration since buns and other gluten-containing items exist in the same general kitchen area, even when steps are taken. The most consistent way to minimize risk is to use bunless builds (lettuce wrap or bowl), request glove changes, and ensure separate prep areas when possible.
- The fries are commonly noted as gluten-free, but some menu items or toppings may introduce gluten in ways that require verification (e.g., certain sauces or mix-ins in shakes). When in doubt, avoid items with uncertain ingredients and rely on clearly labeled allergy procedures.
- Peanut oil is used for frying, so individuals with peanut allergies should be aware that peanuts are present on-site and may influence safety.
