Horrible customer service and attitude. Asked if they had gf buns and was told yes, asked if the cooktop was shared with gluten containing buns and was told no. Paid $17 for a burger and a drink as they weren't clear on the fries, stood around for 5 minutes only for the cashier to come tell me the cooktop IS shared with regular buns and they DON'T have gf buns but asked if I still wanted the food. I said no I would like a refund her answer was "are you serious you really want a refund" we did this 3x to which she then said "you want me to go get my manager to give you a refund?" To which I again said yes, I can't eat safely. Manager came out and again questioned me and asked if I was serious. I was not given a full refund (even though no part of my order was given to me) because they "already started cooking my food". I gave up took the partial refund and left. 0/10.

Have gluten free buns as an option. Unclear about the fries and cross contamination.
Workers did not seem to care much about the GF bun selection which would point to no allergy trainings.

Absolutely delicious every single time!! They offer gluten free buns for an additional $2. I believe the bun is Udi’s brand. It’s so delicious and fluffy! I was told that the french fries are fried in a dedicated fryer. They also noted “***Gluten allergy” on my order!!
I’ve never gotten sick from eating here and it’s one of my favorite places to get gf burgers and fries!🍔
You can get any burger from the menu with a gluten free bun😎

Review
They do have a dedicated fryer but then said their fries have a coating on them and they aren’t gluten free. The burger was delicious, even with no side of fries.

Although this place is not dedicated gluten-free, they’ve done a great job, making me feel really comfortable eating here. They have two people on staff with celiac disease who have done a great job training everyone about cross-contamination. They even have a dedicated frier for French fries!
