What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Meats (barbecue meats) and sauces are described as GF in multiple notes.
- Gluten-free buns are available for burgers/sandwiches.
- Many sides are described as GF, though exact items may vary by location and kitchen practices.
- Note: Fries are repeatedly identified as not GF in at least one recent account, indicating cross-contamination risk with fried items.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated GF, and the kitchen produces items with gluten.
- Cross-contamination risk exists due to shared equipment and common fryers for at least some items.
- As a location, there have been significant closures in 2025, reducing the consistency and reliability of the GF safety practices across the chain. The remaining open Bay Area location is San Mateo, which is not the same site as the San Jose Blossom Hill location in question.
- While there are GF menu signals and some positive reviews, the lack of a dedicated GF environment means this place is not reliably safe for someone with celiac disease.
