Celiac safety profile

What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Fries (including sweet potato fries) as reported by diners and community notes
- Beef tacos made with corn tortillas
- Brisket and pulled pork (as highlighted by diners)
- Pork ribs
- One report mentions a fryer that handles sweet potato fries in a dedicated manner, which is promising for fried sides.
- Several items are mentioned in reviews as gluten-free-friendly, but there is no explicit universal gf menu or guarantee.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The kitchen is described as very small, which can increase cross-contamination risk for gluten-free orders.
- At least one recent reviewer reported a lack of a gluten-free menu and staff uncertainty about gluten-free options.
- While some diners felt surface sterilization and dedicated fryers reduced risk, the absence of a dedicated gluten-free facility means risk cannot be ruled out.
- Airport dining often means varied kitchen practices and high throughput, which can complicate strict celiac safeguards.
