A little worried after eating this but I was starving. They said the fries and tenders are in a shared fryer, so not safe. I ate only a burger on a gf bun, and my kid’s applesauce. I asked for my fries on a separate container for my kid to eat.

The GF bun and food were good. They told me they didn’t have gf tenders or fries that day. I did eat some of the regular fries and didn’t have a reaction, but I’m not celiac. They have dairy free cheese slices and ice cream they make into shakes with almond milk.

Did not feel safe eating at this location and hoping I’m not sick in the morning (my symptoms take about 12 hours to appear). Staff not knowledgeable and despite conflicting reviews on site, I was informed fries were made in a shared fryer with gluten. I had a burger on a GF bun only.

They had good food. They were out of the GF tenders but the grilled tenders were good. They seem to have decent procedures. Prices are high but to be expected in the zoo. The wait for food was pretty long.

The person taking my order said their fries were not gf and they wouldn’t change gloves before making me chicken tenders. Frustrating experience bc they have such good gf options but if staff aren’t trained to accommodate so that I don’t get sick, then I’m not even ordering.

Look up the location on the Elevation burger website for menu details. GF bun was soft - kids enjoyed their meals. GF chicken tenders, and fries. Counter service with indoor/outdoor seating.

At the National zoo looking for food. Pleasantly surprised to find that the Elevation Burger has GF buns (udis we think) and fries are GF and fried with chicken tenders which are coated in a GF batter. So kids chicken tenders and fries are also GF.

Fries and chicken tenders were good. Burger wasn’t bad. Didn’t get sick as a sensitive celiac. My son didn’t care for the vegan mango vanilla shake.

Good experience! Dedicated fryer for GF fries, chicken tenders and onion rings. We ordered burgers and fries. They made the food on separate counter after cleaning the area and changing gloves. No issues.

It is great to eat an actual burger with a good GF bun! They also have vegan cheese and their fries, onion rings, and chicken fingers are gf.
