⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risks can exist despite extensive GF offerings. Several notes across sources reference shared fryers or items that used to be marinated in beer for some meats; in many recent reports, these have been addressed or clarified, but a few older or situational reports flagged potential concerns.
- Bread items, croutons, or certain pasta salads may introduce gluten, especially if not clearly segregated or if allergen guidance isn’t consulted at the moment of service.
- There are reports of inconsistent experiences at times (e.g., one review noting conflicting information during a large group event), underscoring the importance of requesting the allergen list and speaking with a manager when you arrive.
