What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burger (bunless option)
- Burger in a bowl (no bun)
- French fries prepared in a dedicated fryer (gluten-free fries)
- Mention “gluten allergy” (or your allergy) at order time so staff flag the ticket and communicate to the prep team.
- Expect glove changes and a clean prep space when requested or as standard practice in many recent experiences.
- Choose a lettuce-wrap or bowl option and, where possible, request bagging of your items in a separate bag to minimize cross-contact.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- buns exist and are a common source of cross-contact in kitchens that aren’t gluten-free facilities; the risk can be mitigated by ordering bunless and by asking for glove changes and separate prep spaces.
- While many reviews describe strong allergy protocols, a small number of experiences report miscommunications or lapses that led to less-safe outcomes. Inconsistent execution appears to be the primary risk factor.
- Peanuts are present in the environment and peanut oil is used for frying in most locations; those with peanut allergies should consider this factor when deciding to dine here.
- Milkshakes and some toppings may not be gluten-free depending on flavorings and preparation; verify specific items if dairy-free or gluten-free is critical.
