What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Grilled chicken sandwich with gluten-free bun (bun is often sealed in its own packaging)
- Grilled chicken nuggets
- Waffle fries (frequently noted as gluten-free and prepared in a dedicated fryer)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a possibility if protocols are not followed precisely every time.
- Some experiences reported across various visits emphasize the importance of clearly communicating the allergy (e.g., requesting glove changes and allergy flags) and verifying that items are prepared with dedicated equipment where possible.
- A few reports mention inconsistencies or misunderstandings by staff; as with any chain, outcomes can depend on location-specific adherence and staff training on celiac safety.
