What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches on gluten-free buns (buns come in sealed packaging and are warmed).
- Pot roast dinner ordered without gravy (no gluten-containing gravy on the plate).
- Mashed potatoes (as served without gravy in some orders).
- Gluten-free frozen custard options (availability varies by flavor; verify GF status for toppings/mix-ins).
- Other items that can be served GF when ordered with allergy awareness and careful handling (e.g., certain salads or sides without croutons) — but always confirm GF status at the specific visit.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Fries and some sides may be prepared in shared fryers at this location, depending on the visit; some guests report dedicated fryers, others not. Always ask about the fryer situation for fries.
- Cross-contact can occur if other gluten-containing items share equipment or surfaces not clearly segregated for your order.
- While many guests report safe experiences, there are occasional accounts where fries or other items were not GF-safe at certain visits or locations, underscoring the importance of explicit allergy communication and location-specific confirmation.
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so ongoing vigilance is required.
