What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Bunless burgers served in a lettuce wrap or in a bowl.
- Fries prepared in a dedicated fryer (fries are the primary gluten-free fried item reported).
- Hot dogs (where applicable by location; not universally GF buns available; bunless options and lettuce wrap possible in many stores).
- Most toppings listed as GF in practice, with staff able to advise which toppings are safe when ordered as allergy orders.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is inherent residual risk. However, a large body of recent guest feedback describes robust cross-contamination control practices when an allergy is noted (glove changes, dedicated surfaces, bagging separately, audible allergy alerts to staff, etc.).
- Peanut oil is used for fries in many Five Guys locations, and peanuts are present in the dining area at times. This means peanut allergies require extra caution.
- Cross-contact can occur with toppings and condiments, as noted in some accounts. While many guests report no issues, there are occasional reports of lapses, miscommunications, or inconsistent training at certain times/locations.
- If you are highly sensitive to cross-contact, it’s prudent to clearly communicate “gluten allergy” at order and observe the process, request allergy-specific handling, and consider opting for a lettuce-wrapped burger or bowl with fries in a dedicated fryer.
