Five Guys

I’m extremely sensitive to gluten and grains. I eat their french fries all the time and sometimes a burger in lettuce or a bowl. I’ve also had their vanilla milkshake several times. I’ve never felt sick afterwards and I’ve been eating there for four years.

Usually five guys is one of my go to spots for gluten free burgers. But this place is far too busy for me to come back. Amazingly I did not get sick and they did a good job trying to keep my burger gluten free. But with the sheer volume of orders they have at this location the risk of cross contamination is very very high. Their prep table was by far the messiest I have seen at a five guys and there were crumbs every where. Nothing against this location, but the risk is too high here.

this is a good 5 guys. I'm a very sensitive celiac and i've never gotten sick from this location. I do avoid the toppings (at all locations) since contamination can occur because the gloves that touch the buns also put toppings on.

Fries were too salty. Bunless burger is a burger thrown in a tin, so not what I expected the burger could have been made in a lettuce wrap form the purpose of a burger is to est with your hands. If I wanted a salad I would have spent less money in Panera next door.

Excellent food. Bun-less burgers and fries are safe (dedicated GF fryer). Reliable and delicious. Staff is careful to avoid cross-contamination.

I appreciate that they always ask if my lettuce wrapped order is an allergy. Fries are the only thing in the fryer, so no worries about cross contamination.

I’ve gone three times in two months and it’s been great every time. I tell them “allergy warning, I have celiac’s”. I order mine on lettuce (they do a really great job at wrapping the burger in lettuce), with everything on it. I then inform them that my spouse would like a normal bacon burger on a bun. The staff has always reassured me and I hear them tell each other “allergy!” while cooking. They’ve always put my burger in a different bag marked “***ALLERGY***” and there was a red sticker on the tin foil of my burger.

If you’ve never been to a Five Guys, they have a very limited menu of just burgers (bacon, cheese, or plain) in three sizes, French fries (plain or Cajun), and milkshakes.

The only gluten items on the menu are the buns and malt. The chocolate shakes do not automatically come malted, so there’s never been a worry for me there.
