What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lettuce-wrapped burgers (bun-free) or burgers served in a bowl.
- Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (fries are repeatedly described as gluten-free in the collected experiences).
- Hot dogs (bunless) can be ordered similarly, with attention to separate prep if applicable.
- An allergy-order process, including glove changes and separate bagging, is commonly cited as part of the experience.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination remains a possible risk at a non-dedicated GF facility. While many diners report strong adherence to allergy protocols (glove changes, dedicated prep areas, separate packaging), there are occasional reports of lapses, especially during busy periods.
- The fries are the only consistently described item cooked in a dedicated fryer; toppings, sauces, and condiments can vary in allergen presence, so it’s best to confirm each item at the moment of order.
- People with peanut allergies should note peanut oil is used for fries, and peanuts may be present in the dining area in some locations.
