We visited with our two kids who must eat GF. The manager, Jay, was SO helpful and accommodating. He personally oversaw the preparation of our order and took steps to prevent cross contamination. The GF buns appear to be Udi’s.

I am very sensitive and they did an AMAZING job! I spoke to the supervisor when placing my order and she was very helpful. I had a burger on a GF bun and tater tots! I couldn’t believe I was actually going to get fried tater tots (haven’t had since I was dx)!!! Furthermore, my burger was so tasty. They have a GF fryer and toast the GF buns on the stove top. All other buns go in a separate toaster. I’m so excited to say I ate like a queen and did NOT get sick. Would recommend!

Gluten-free bun option. You can choose your own toppings. Not sure about cross contamination. I'm gluten sensitive and do not have celiac, but I have never gotten sick here. My favorite burger place!

Option to order your burger on a gluten free bun. So nice to be able to eat at a burger place! You can create your own burger or chicken sandwich to make sure you avoid any gluten. Sweet potato smash fries are gluten free but there's some cross contamination risk there so I wouldn't recommend it. Great experience!

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😎

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!
