What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Protein-style burger (lettuce-wrapped; no bun)
- French fries (fried in a dedicated fryer, by default gluten-free)
- Gluten-free milkshakes (verify ingredients with staff)
- Flying Dutchman (two patties with cheese, no bun; commonly cited as a gluten-free option)
- Lettuce-wrapped variations of burgers with allergy markers on the order
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contact risk exists in a shared kitchen environment; staff often cite glove changes, separate prep areas, and dedicated fryers as protections, but lapses can occur, especially during busy times.
- Some onion handling (grilled onions) and certain toppings may involve shared utensils or grills, so it’s wise to specify “gluten allergy” and request fresh gloves and clean surfaces for each item.
- A few older reviews mention negative experiences, but a substantial amount of recent feedback emphasizes proper allergen handling when clearly communicated.
