Five Guys

I have had my 2nd bad experience with Five Guys. I have celiac disease. I went to Five Guys yesterday and ordered fries. I felt fine afterwards and throughout the day yesterday. But when I woke up this morning I can’t stop going to the bathroom.

This exact scenario happened over the summer when I went to New York. I went to a Five Guys and ordered fries. Then throughout the day I felt fine. When I woke up the next morning. I couldn’t stop going to the bathroom.

I am never eating at Five Guys again. I don’t think that my bathroom problems are due to anything else but the fries at Five Guys. The only things I ate yesterday after eating the fries were apples and ice cream, which were gluten free.

Be very cautious about eating at this place if you have celiac disease.

The food was a amazing and the staff were very accommodating. They will put your burger in a bowl or wrap it in lettuce. The fries are so good! Food is prepared in separate area.

Gotta love a place where they load up your burger! So much stuff on them you don't think about not having a bun on it. Highly recommended! Fries are gluten free as well and absolutely delicious.

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.
