⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Shared fryers: several experiences suggest that some chips and items may be fried in shared fryers with gluten-containing foods, while others report being able to request dedicated frying. It’s not consistent across all visits.
- Meat marinades and sauces: at least one review notes beef marinated in soy sauce, which could introduce gluten depending on the exact ingredients used.
- Dairy and cross-contact: there are reports of dairy-containing components on some GF-adapted dishes and notes that staff sometimes adjust orders; this underscores the importance of explicit requests and real-time kitchen communication.
- Overall: while many diners report safe, GF-friendly experiences, there are enough mixed signals to classify the safety as cautious rather than guaranteed.
