Five Guys

Recently went there and asked for a lettuce wrap. They asked if it was a preference or an allergy and when i said allergy, they went above and beyond to make sure there was no cross contamination. I had no issues after eating there and my lettuce wrap was great! Of course i miss eating it with the bun but still yummy !

I’ve eaten here twice a week for the past month (gross I know) but I never get sick. When I request a lettuce wrap they ask me if it is an allergy (yes) and they are extremely careful and friendly. Love 5 guys.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

this is the only burger that allows for those allergic to gluten to enjoy as close to normal as possible. Letting them know of your allergy , thru will make your burger in a lettuce wrap instead.

I was optimistic about this place after reading reviews, but somehow I was sick after eating here. Too many possibilities for cc here, unfortunately. I'm extremely sensitive so others might fare better.

A regular cheeseburger here is seven dollars. The regular fries, which is very large, is 3.50. And a soda is two more dollars. One hot dog with cheese and no bun is almost 5 dollars by itself. So you can easily spend $12 or more for one person, and for that they serve you food in a greasy paper bag. And you have to sit under bright fluorescent lights. The food is good but not really that much better than a place like Wendy's. I'd rather pay half the price and eat off a tray at Wendy's instead of eating at five guys out of a greasy paper bag. But obviously the catch is Wendys isn't gluten-free. So that's the only reason I would eat here instead.

This location in particular is awesome. They went so far as to get toppings out of a fresh container to avoid cross-contamination. For an even better burger, go across the street to Stuyvesant Plaza first...there is a natural store that sells gf bread and rolls. We bring them in with us so my hubby can build his burgers on them.

Order taker asks about allergy and informs cook staff. I like that I can see them following the protocols (change gloves, clean grill, etc). Dedicated french-fry fryer. Good food.

Refused to even serve me they said they can’t prevent any cross contamination even though the only gluten containing item in this location is the buns. Wouldn’t change gloves or utensils or anything just told me no.

April 26, 2014. These guys handle the 'Allergy burger' very well. Ask for it by that name, they'll know how to treat your food prep. They have a dedicated frier and make a mean lettuce wrapped burger. I always order extra lettuce and they don't fall apart. I never have an issue with cross-contamination at this chain.

They were so careful when preparing my burger and french fries. They do not have gluten free buns. The fries are safe to eat. I order a burger without a bun and bring in my own bun.
