Best fast food chain allergy protocol!! Order "Protein Style” burger (lettuce wrap) or “Flying Dutchman” (no bun/wrap) & let them know you have a gluten/dairy/ etc allergy! They'll take care of the rest: glove change, separate grill, work station, supplies. Fries are also GF. If you order within a group, they bag the allergy order separately than the rest. But you definitely have to say "allergy" ordering it lettuce wrap is not enough to let them know.

If you want the fries, then that is about all you can get safely, and in my book they are not even that good. If you want a burger, go elsewhere. The way they are set up they can not safely prepare a burger without a bun or in a lettuce wrap. All cross contaminated and they are so busy they don't have the time to do it. If you are just avoiding bread or carbs then you should be fine eating it. Not celiac safe.

🌾🚫 Gluten Free Items: Protein style (wrapped in lettuce) cheeseburgers and double doubles. Fries and shakes are also gluten free!

✴ Prior to ordering, let them know you have a gluten free order. I usually tell them “gluten allergy” and they put an allergy alert on the order as well as a verbal notification to the back. If you don’t mention “allergy” you’re subject to cross contamination.

They will cook the patty on a new and/or cleaned surface to avoid cross contamination. When any gluten free or other allergy order is made, they will note it on your order and also verbally tell the kitchen.

🐶 In-N-Out locations have outdoor seating that are dog friendly. Unsalted and plain “Pup Patties” are available for $1.05 each!

I’m so happy that I’ve been able to safely eat at 2 In & Outs since being diagnosed. They clearly noted gluten allergy on the receipt and my food-was on a separate tray. I’ve gotten the same thing for years- hamburger, protein style, mustard grilled, grilled onions, no spread, extra veggies - and a fries. I tried doing a double double before and it’s too messy- if I’m that hungry I order 2! I wasn’t sure about the ketchup so I just asked for mustard packets for my fries.

Found In-and-out during our trip through California and Nevada. As their protein-style burgers and fries are a no-brainer for gf meals, we went there more than once.
