The staff was well educated on their menu and preparation. They let me know that the fries have cross contamination and offered alternative side dishes. I chose a burger on gf bun with cole slaw - it was great! It’s nice to see this attention to detail from a fast food restaurant.

I've been to MANY Culver's locations and have never had any problems with the way they serve and contamination with their fries. Today, though, at this location I had chunks of breading in my fries....many chunks! I really hope I don't get sick as I am on a 6 hour drive.

They did use all of the precautions with my sandwich and that was handled nicely!

Have eaten here many times! Everyone is very knowledgeable and takes the cross contamination risk very seriously! No GF fries, but other side options!

While this would possibly work for someone that has a sensitivity. This is not a place you would want to eat if you are celiac . The fries are dropped in the same oil that everything else is. As if one time wasn’t enough, I had gone another time after and just got a chicken breast and sure enough , cross-contact and had touched gluten. Strongly advise against for celiac

They tried. Spoke to the manager, she took the proper steps notating my order and notifying the kitchen, and yet, here we are.

Bun came in its own packaging, so cross-contamination must have occurred.

Definitely not Celiac safe.

I eat at Culvers often when I am in Bowling Green and Somerset. When I order the Gluten Free they always ask if it is an alergen or a preference. The cook always changes gloves and I adore the heated bun in a separate package.

This Midwest style restaurant has incredible burgers and sandwiches! Salads can be made GF and they have great GF buns. As always let the staff know that you have an allergy and this is not a preference.
