Not celiac friendly, shared grill so none of the meat is safe
Review
The staff is extremely knowledgeable on GF and cross contamination. Separate fryer for fries. Shares the same grill for everything.. I would very curious.
Review
My gluten free bun had a whole in it and was broken in half. The service was terrible and there were many other people in the restaurant who also returned their food.

Good burger and safe fries. I think a $2 upcharge for the gf bun is absurd but what can you do? They also have dairy-free shakes that are very good although a little unusual.

We’ve been here countless times and I’ve never had an issue. Very easy online ordering and the gf bun is good for the burgers. Fries and tater tots are in a dedicated fryer. I never opt for the milkshakes though since the brand they use isn’t gf.

No options. They had gluten free buns but all the food is cooked together so none of the options are safe.
