Review
I ordered a salad that I had researched in advance and knew to be free of gluten-containing items (according to the Smashburger website). I made the manager on duty aware of my allergies when I ordered (wheat allergy + celiac/gluten allergy). I'm not feeling so great, so I think there must have been cross-contact with gluten. The food tasted great, but likely not safe for celiacs.
Review
Ordered a Gf burger said for allergies and it came out with onion straws on it and when it came back it was the same bun, but I didn't realise until it was too late. They need to educate employees on allergies better.
Review
Gluten-free buns available for burgers.

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.
