The Burger Stand at The Casbah

I worked here for a few years before finding out I had celiac. I would strongly advice against going here if you have celiac disease- cross contamination is a major concern. No, there is not a dedicated fryer. However if you are just intolerant you should be fine with a GF bun!

Offered gf bun but it was not good. Would be better to just get a bun-less burger. The fries are amazingly delicious but not sure it’s gf either.

Gluten free bun is offered here. I cannot confirm if the fries are gf.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The main thing is that they have a GF bun option for their burger. Their menu is pretty straightforward and the employee working the register is knowledgeable enough to answer your questions.

They have a lot of burgers options that can be changed to gluten-free. The bun is fairly good, not too dry, and the rest of the burger makes up for that. I usually pair it with a shake instead of the fries (which are not GF!)

The fries do not have a dedicated fryer and I think may even be beer-battered. Which is sad because they’re SO good! Their burgers are excellent enough that it makes up for it. I haven’t gotten sick eating there!

Sick after every time eating here

Celiac friendly?

No

They do not have a dedicated fryer.

Staff was very honest in letting us know that their was not a dedicated fryer.

Celiac friendly?

No

Have gluten free buns as an alternate! I was also able to sub grilled chicken for fried chicken!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Been here twice. Got sick the first time and attributed it to not catching the warning about the fries. The second time I went, I didn't order fries with my gf order and got just as sick as the first time. It makes me sad to give this place a poor review because the burger tasted amazing but I don't feel that their preparation of food is safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

Love this place! Lawrence local with lots of charm! They have GF buns for burgers. Unfortunately no chicken sandwich options because they only use breaded chicken breasts. Corn dogs not GF. Lots of GF ciders and other gf bar drink options. Their shakes are the bomb, just be sure to request no graham crackers sprinkled on top. I have had mixed reviews from servers on if the fryers are free of contamination for fries. My impression is that they intend it to be a dedicated fry fryer but if they get behind the chefs have been known to fry other items in it. So eat fries at your own risk!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

6/5/15, I am here right now and they do NOT have a dedicated Gluten free fryer!!! the burgers and buns are great. GF beer selection.

So excited to find this place offered a GF bun and a dedicated frier for French fries!
