- Wraps were introduced at some locations (noted around early 2025). Staff practices around these items may increase cross-contamination risk if not carefully managed.
- Several reviews warn that a few menu items are not GF (macaroni salad and certain crunchy noodles on salads). It’s important to verify which exact items are included in a given order and request glove changes or kitchen communication as needed.
