What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burger without bun (bunless) served in a lettuce wrap or in a bowl.
- French fries prepared in a dedicated fryer (gluten-free).
- Hot dogs without bun (bunless), when available.
- Lettuce-wrapped burgers and bowl meals as standard gluten-free formats.
- Note: Buns are not gluten-free; the main gluten-containing items are buns, with safety relying on allergen-focused prep and glove changes.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk cannot be absolutely eliminated.
- Cross-contact concerns can arise with toppings, sauces, condiments, or shared utensils, though many diners report strong allergy protocols when you communicate clearly.
- Peanuts are present in many Five Guys locations (and peanut oil is used for frying), which can be a concern for peanut allergies or sensitivity.
- Occasional negative anecdotes exist, often tied to lapses in glove changes or miscommunication, particularly during busy periods. Most positive reviews emphasize audible allergy reminders and glove changes as mitigation.
