What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burger without bun (bunless) served in a lettuce wrap
- Burger without bun in a bowl
- French fries (cooked in a dedicated fryer)
- Lettuce-wrapped hot dogs (where offered) or other bunless protein options
- Any toppings that are verified as gluten-free when prepared with allergy precautions (note: verify online allergen info for specific toppings)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is inherent cross-contact risk if precautions slip.
- Buns are gluten-containing; bunless options avoid this, but toppings, sauces, and condiments must be managed carefully to prevent cross-contact.
- Peanut oil is commonly used for fries, which introduces a separate allergen risk for those with peanut allergies; confirm if peanut exposure is a concern.
- Open kitchen exposure means you can observe prep, but it also requires vigilant communication and consistent glove changes to minimize CC.
- While most recent experiences are positive, there are occasional reports of lapses or miscommunication, so always clearly indicate an allergy and watch for proper handling.
