Should have been a great experience. They have a gluten free menu/buns/separate fryer. But you’re only as safe as your server. Despite clear communication and assurances, he messed up and didn’t mark our fries as GF. They came from the regular fryer and I got sick.

They care about cross contamination, but I was still contaminated on the 5th time I ate here. Disappointing because their burgers a pretty good, but I have been sick for multiple days so it is not worth it overall.

They are very knowledgeable and they have a gluten free bun. Their staff is very flexible and they have a great gluten free menu. They have a separate fryer, so you can have very yummy fries. The hamburgers also have a great taste! This is a very good resturant and we would give it 6 stars if we could!

Never had a reaction at this location. They have a gluten free menu and a dedicated fries fryer. You can make custom burgers and salads. Their gluten free buns aren’t the best, they fall apart easily, but it is pretty hard to find a safe burger joint so I don’t mind too much. Just place your order for a gluten allergy and make sure you double confirm everything will be cooked on clean/ separate surfaces.

Update 2024: The last 3 times I’ve eaten her or gotten to-go I have gotten sick so I won’t be coming back again. I’m not sure what changed as I order the same things and communicate the same needs/requests as before.

They are so amazing with celiac disease. Just let them know. They avoid contamination. They have a dedicated fryer that's on all the time now. Easily the safest burger you'll have.

You can build your own glutenfree burger! they have a seperate glutenfree menu and a dedicated glutenfree fryer. The brussel sprouts were amazing! I felt safe, but I am asymptomatic. Keep in mind that they also work with wheat buns in their kitchen. Prices are really fair, no upcharge for the glutenfree buns.
