What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Grilled chicken nuggets
- Grilled chicken sandwich assembled with a gluten-free bun (bun often packaged separately)
- Waffle fries prepared in a dedicated fryer
- Gluten-free buns available for sandwiches (often wrapped or packaged to prevent contamination)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This location is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contamination risk remains a general concern in a busy kitchen.
- The safest practice is to clearly announce the allergy, ask for a glove change if needed, and ensure items are prepared and bagged separately. Some reports mention that even with precautions, mistakes can occur (mislabeling, not all sauces being gluten-free, or bun substitutions). When in doubt, verify each component at ordering and pickup.
- Even with strong precautions (dedicated fryer, separate packaging, allergy flags), there is no universal guarantee; the level of risk varies by staff familiarity and momentary kitchen conditions.
