- Gluten-free chicken tenders
- Sidewinders fries

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists, particularly around fryers. While many recent diners report a dedicated GF fryer and careful handling, there are older accounts suggesting possible cross-contact or confusion about which items are GF.
- To minimize risk, explicitly confirm at ordering that the requested items will be prepared in the GF fryer with GF-specific utensils and gloves.
- The establishment is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so ongoing communication and clear confirmations remain important.
