🍽️ 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.
