Hopdoddy Burger Bar

Decided to check this burger joint. Was very happy I stopped in for a bit to eat. They offer scratch made GF buns, and their fries were also GF. Very pleased with the service and the food. Would highly recommend.

I’m celiac and this is one of my go to restaurants. Behind the counter they have a wheel listing all the allergens/ingredients for the dishes. Fries are safe.

Ate there yesterday for the first time out in a restaurant after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. They had a wonderful full and complete gluten free menu. They have a separate fryer and had many fry options. Their gf bun was yummy. They were very knowledgeable and helpful about celiac and cross contamination. I was very impressed!!

The menu has several warnings about the possibility of cross contamination, despite using gluten free ingredients in the vast majority of their dishes. However, when I explained I had an allergy, the person taking my order filled out a red ticket to indicate my gluten allergy to the chef. I had no reaction after the meal, so I trust the kitchen staff did their best to provide a gluten free experience for me.

Celiac friendly?

No

A note to everyone calling this place “celiac-safe” — it most certainly is not. They use “gluten imposter” soy lecithin-based cooking spray for all of their buns, including the gluten-free ones. Translation: You’re stuck with a lettuce wrap. Again.

To anyone out there, like me, who is ACTUALLY celiac - beware.

Update: my wife convinced me to stay and have the lettuce-wrapped burger and fries from the supposed “dedicated” fryer. Still got glutened. Again, celiacs beware.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent burgers and fries. No issues. Good cocktails. Great happy hour $5 cocktails and beers. Service was good at the bar. The burger bun was gluten free and tasty but it did break apart easily. I ate it with a fork and it was all good. This is my second time eating here. 👍

Offer GF buns and were able to confirm that the fries are dedicated fryer (rice oil). Took the time to check each condiment and help.

I have Celiac with high sensitivity. Had a bacon cheeseburger on GF bun with fries and no issues. Was very tasty too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Didn't have gluten free buns when I went, but we're able to make a delicious lettuce wrap. They made a careful note of my allergies to the kitchen.

Burger Nirvana & the GF buns taste homemade...not from a bag from the store for sure!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing gluten free buns. They are aware of gluten ingredients and will customize anything. Fries are fried in a separate fryer too. One of my favorite spots.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I enjoyed a good hamburger but the GF bun was a little disappointing. The crust was a little hard and the texture was more like a biscuit. They can make any of their burgers GF giving you plenty of options. I was told they will change gloves and avoid any cross contamination. The shareable fries were great! Much more than my wife and I could eat.

Service was fast and excellent. The gf bun is the best I’ve ever had. Also, the burger was amazing and probably the best I’ve had. Highly recommend with the fries!

My go to restaurant near vandy. Best GF buns I’ve had, great burgers, and as far as I know, all fries are safe. They ask if GF is for allergy or preference and I have always felt 100% safe. Highly recommend.
