In a bind and ate here and regret it. I was told no gluten touches the grill but the gf buns were toasted with every other bun. I got an untoasted smash burger and knew very quickly there was some cross contact involved. I would avoid at all costs.

I ordered via DoorDash and noted the gluten allergy. Because of everyone here I also kept away from the fries but my husband ordered some. Well we pick up the order and my entire order is incorrect including fries all over it. I called and they basically shrugged and said call DoorDash and tried to convince me the bun was gluten free. But I didn’t give it a try because an incorrect burger wasn’t worth getting sick over. My husband said his order (also incorrect) was just fine. Not worth the hassle.

This place was fantastic! The food was great, and the server was very knowledgeable. When I placed my order and asked about gluten free items the server immediately said she would mark it on the menu and have the kitchen staff change their gloves and utensils to prevent cross contamination!

This is the first time I ate here. I had a Gourmet Burger with a Gluten-free Bun and substituted the mushrooms for carmelized onions. I asked for the burger to be well done. It was not well done. It was a little pink. We had two waitresses. One of the waitresses was not understanding when I was trying to explain that I had celiac disease and I needed my food to be carefully prepared so it would not be cross-contaminated. I explained that I could not eat anything that contained wheat, barley, or rye. And that my food could not touch any other food that contains gluten. And that I needed assistance with the menu. Because I didn't know what on the menu was gluten-free besides the bun that I could eat. The other waitress was extremely understanding when I explain this. My guess who I brought with me had ordered a side of fried sweet potato fries what you're not gluten free. We told them these needed to be separated and do not touch my burger. When all of the food came out from what he ordered and what I ordered it was not the correct way. They put his fried glutened contaminated fries on the same plate with my gluten-free gourmet burger. They had to take it back and remake my food.

The food was delicious. The waitress was pretty well informed of what I could have that was GF. I had the Simple Burger on a GF bun. I asked her if the fryer was a dedicated fryer and she said no. So the fries were out of the question. She suggested the cucumber, tomatoes, greek olive salad with feta cheese as a side dish. It was absolutely delicious and so was the burger. My husband loved his regular food as well. Yes, the bun falls apart while you're eating it but that's not their fault as they don't bake it. The food was delicious, the service was very good and best of all I didn't get sick. I highly recommend this place.

After going to two other restaurants who had very little or no gluten free options, my family went to Sesame’s. The waiter was very informed about the menu, knew everything that was safe for celiac and gluten intolerance, and was very detailed about how everything was cooked. He made sure to order a batch a fries cooked separately in a gluten-free free frier and they had gluten-free free buns for burgers. I’ll definitely be going back!

Burger was good. Has gluten free buns - but no separate frier. I ordered potato chips not realizing they fry them there. So only side option that is safe was a fruit salad. Park circle location

The burgers are great! They offer Udi buns but no specific gluten free menu. There are several gluten free sides available.

My go-to burger spot. If gf burger buns aren't your thing, just get yo burger without a bun... you won't miss it! Honestly, though, what keeps me coming back? The spiked milkshakes!

My entire family is gluten free and we eat here at least once a week. If GF buns are not your thing, the burger in a bowl is amazing. GF beer, too, and the servers know their stuff.

Had a turkey burger ( it was ok, a little overcooked) with fig & bacon jam ( SUPER DELICIOUS) and goat cheese. Chose not to have a gf bun because I don't care for the Udi's buns. Staff was not very knowledgeable. Only one bartender on staff knew his stuff. No dedicated gf fryer.

Really good food. Had a chicken sandwich on GF bun and corn (no fries due to lack of dedicated fryer). Both were pretty amazing, only thing I didn't care for was the fig and bacon jam I chose to put on my sandwich. The corn was truly awesome and I would go back just for that. Also tried a half salad that was great...portions were huge as well. Definitely a gem I will return to...

Burgers are excellent with gluten -free buns. They don't use canola oil to fry the French fries and the milkshakes are superb.

We ate at Sesame burgers & beer for dinner. The staff was knowledgeable about gf and double-checked any questionable items. The burgers were truly delicious. I would have given them 5 stars but they did not use a dedicated fryer for french fries. We had grilled corn in stead and it was very good.

This is the only thing I will really miss about the south, they have gluten free buns and they make everything in house so lots of options for eating gluten free.
