⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The official gluten-friendly/gluten-free materials indicate there is no fully gluten-free kitchen; foods are prepared-to-order with a protocol that includes hand washing, glove changing, and clean utensils, but cross-contact remains possible.
- Several reviews highlight that some locations may use shared equipment or fryers for non-GF items, or may have missteps (e.g., croutons on salads, sauce containments) despite GF requests.
- Recent experiences can vary by location and staff training, so it’s important to clearly communicate your needs, request the GF menu, and confirm that the kitchen will treat your dish as allergy-designated.
