Had dinner here while touring Cal Poly with my son. I would definitely go back. The owner and waiter were both knowledgeable about celiac and took time to explain menu options to me. They have a separate fryer for GF vs nonGF items. I had a grilled cheese with veggies and fries. My son had a burger and said it was delicious. There are many GF options!

I went to an event cater by Burger Village and all the burgers were wrapped individually. The gf, vegetarian, dairy free, etc. were all wrapped in foil and separate from the others. They tasted great and had good gf buns!

Bomb! The flavors are melting on my tongue. Very celiac friendly with just so many options. Will definitely come again and again. The ciders also have their own separate lines.

Excellent burger and fries. It’s pricy but worth it. Hope to go back soon. It is open today (Saturday) even though the FMGF app says it’s closed.

I’ve eaten burger, fries (request separate fryer) and chicken strips here with no problem. However, I ordered a green bowl salad with grilled chicken on top and got really sick. 🙁

The most delicious burger and chicken nuggets I’ve had in a long time! The gf bun was so soft even the server said it’s better than their regular brioche bun! The gf chicken nuggets were a hit with our kids. The fries are fried in a gluten free fried. The server even asked if we ordered gf for an allergy or a preference and said if it’s an allergy he makes sure to note it so they can take extra precautions to not cross contaminate. My daughter liked her food so much she asked for another meal to bring home!

I got to feel normal for a change! This was the first time I've had a real cheeseburger since going gluten-free. Also enjoyed the tater tots and chicken nuggets, both cooked in a gluten-free fryer.
Our waitress was new, but was patient with me and went to the back to verify their precautions and procedures as needed. The food tasted great and I didn't get sick.
The storefront is almost entirely windows, and these open up when the weather permits. That makes it a safer option from a covid standpoint.

We used DoorDash to have our food brought to us. The DoorDash app wouldn't let us make comments so I called the restaurant. They pulled out the order and made sure the GF chicken nuggets and fries were cooked in the GF fryer. My daughter said the nuggets were amazing and the french fries awesome.

Review
I am a sad celiac and on a trip so I take a few more risks when I am traveling than at home. I felt pretty safe given the risk of eating in a restaurant that isn’t 100 percent gluten free. They have a dedicated fryer for French fries, tater tots and gluten chicken fingers for kids. I told them I couldn’t have a gluten free bun that was on the same surface as a regular bun and asked if they could just not heat it up and give to me on the side. They said they would clean the surface w and just to give them a little extra time. I am pretty happy. Will report back if any problems follow.

I was told that everything gluten free (all the meat and gf buns) was grilled in a separate area than the buns with gluten. They also had two separate fryers so I was able to request sweet potato fries made in the gf fryer. My sweet potato fries and my ostrich burger with goat cheese, veggies, and lettuce wrap both test gf with my Nima. I am very sensitive, and I didn’t have any symptoms. The food was also really good!

The menu identifies gluten-free items as well as dairy free, vegan and vegetarian. The server said fries and sweet potato fries can be prepared gluten-free in a dedicated fryer. They also have gluten-free bread and desserts. I ordered the village grilled chicken sandwich with skinny makings (except the cheese) and fries. The food was delicious! I’m newly diagnosed with celiac disease and this was my first successful dining out experience.

Had a really good boar burger with ‘the Skinny’ toppings on GF bun with tater tots listed as GF. The other in my party enjoyed their burger and slaw not GF. Menu lists options. GF buns can be substituted for bread or bun in sandwiches and burgers. Several sides are GF. Server was totally familiar with requests for GF. She said many people come for various allergies. UPDATE T+ 24hrs: all systems nominal.

The brioche bread falls apart and was a bit dry. Had the simple hand pressed burger and it lacked flavor. The fries were not hot nor fresh. The staff are friendly and it's a safe place to eat for celiacs as far as I could tell!

Celiac family had a great burger and fries (separate fryer). Many GF options. They were out of GF buns but did a great job without bun or lettuce wrap. Fries were great (no seasoning). They had a GF brownie we didn’t try. Had natural root beer (gf). We will be back!

I had a grilled chicken sandwich on a delicious gluten-free bun and sweet potato tater tot's in their separate fryer. Staff seem knowledgeable and I did not get sick. The sweet potato tater tot's were a little too mushy for me but delicious taste. Lots of options and other members of my party loved the elk burger and regular beef burger.

I wanted to love this place. They advertise gluten free and allergy options and a dedicated fryer. The server sounds knowledgeable and assures you it’s safe for celiac and they take precautions in the kitchen. Sadly it doesn’t live up to these claims. I got a Buffalo burger in a lettuce wrap and sweet potato fries. I was very sick an hour later. Be wary if you’re celiac.

I was specific about one person having Celiac and to bag his food separately. All food bagged together. My son was afraid to eat his food as crumbs were on the box.

The Burger Village Menu has gluten free items marked on it. Also, ask the server about a dedicated fryer for fries. They are not marked as gluten free on the menu but the server stated that they will put fries in their gluten free dedicated frier. I had their beef burger with gluten free bun and fries. Very good burger and fries. Will go back again.

We ordered delivery online but called ahead to ask about gluten free protocols. They have a separate grill or area of the grill for gf. They also have a separate fryer for fries and tots. The onion rings are NOT gluten free due to the batter containing gluten. The burger was great! Even with delivery, the bun didn’t fall apart. The fries were also crispy and salty. We were really pleased! There are a lot of topping and sauce options to choose from. We’ll definitely order from here again.
