When I told the person taking my order I needed a burger on a lettuce wrap he asked if it was for an allergy and marked “gluten allergy” on my order. My order was placed in a separate bag from my family’s gluten orders. I didn’t feel sick eating here and it was delicious!

Cashier very helpful and when I told her celiac she said without hesitation "right I've got it"...I watched them clean and prep the counter by lining it with several layers of foil, open new lettuce to make my wrap and take out some condiments that were in smaller containers from the fridge in single serve ketchup containers. The even bagged my order separate from my non allergy family members order. I felt comfortable with their response and did not get sick.

i told the cashier that i just wanted french fries and that i had a gluten allergy (people seem to take gluten "allergy" more serious than "celiac disease") and she turned around and yelled "GLUTEN ALLERGY!!!" to the kitchen and it was so embarrassing the entire place was looking at me. and i'm almost positive they didn't change gloves or anything.

While the person taking our order politely asked me to repeat myself when I said “gluten allergy (I know celiac isn’t an allergy, it’s just easier to say sometimes),” another person nodded knowingly and started changing his gloves. He took charge and made sure the other workers knew what to do. He bagged my daughter’s burger separately, the fries in their own bag, and burgers with buns on their own. It was a great experience; the food was yummy and we felt safe. My daughter didn’t have any reaction.

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.
