- General note: A separate GF allergen menu and QR-guide are available to help identify other GF options; ensure your selections are confirmed with staff before serving.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Sauces and certain sides can contain gluten; there are mixed reports about precise gluten status of every sauce, so confirm ingredients and whether sauces are avoided or served separately.
- Some diners have reported inconsistent labeling or advice from staff, which means cross-contact risks exist if you don’t get explicit confirmation.
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so ongoing vigilance is essential, especially during busy times or with catering orders that may share fryers or prep spaces.
- When in doubt, rely on the GF allergen guide, ask kitchen staff to modify gloves or utensils, and request separate preparation where possible.
