What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Fries (rosemary garlic fries and regular fries) are mentioned as gluten-free in practice, with several diners noting dedicated fryers or safe preparation when requested.
- Any sandwich or item can be served over a bed of fries or over mixed greens instead of in a wrap or bun.
- Salads with gluten-free dressings and sauces are described as fully GF by some customers.
- Breakfast burritos or burrito-style fillings over fries (instead of bread) are cited as safe when prepared carefully.
- General approach noted by reviewers: customize by substituting fries as the base for many menu items to maintain gluten-free status.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not designated as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination risk remains a consideration.
- Some items (e.g., certain sauces like BBQ sauce) are not gluten-free, so ordering details matter.
- At least one diner reported contamination concerns, illustrating that not every experience is perfectly GF, and vigilance remains important.
- While several reviews describe safe practices (e.g., cooking in separate pans for some requests), this is not guaranteed for every visit.
