Server was not at all knowledgeable about GF items, but was very willing to go back and forth and figure it out. He was upfront about what was sure to be GF and what may not be.

That being said, I could only order a burger with no bun (they were out of GF buns).

Wouldn’t choose to come back, but at least I can eat here.

The only menu item explicitly noted as gluten free is the hamburger bun. They do have an allergen list on line, and there are very few gluten free items. The fries are made in the same fryer as gluten-containing items. The burgers are gluten free if you go with the gluten free bun or a lettuce wrap. Their special sauce (based on Thousand Island dressing) contains gluten, although the server was at a loss as to why. I had a basic burger on a gluten free bun and felt fine afterwards.

They must have beefed up their gluten free options since the last reviewers went here. I ordered online and got a burger with a GF bun and the bun was one of the best GF buns I’ve had, very thin which is so uncommon.

Some of their sauces do have gluten in them so you have to ask, but the ketchup is fine now and I did not have any problems.

Their fries do have CC risk but I was realllllly craving some so I ate some of my boyfriends and they were fine. But if you find you are extremely sensitive maybe don’t get the fries.

Call before ordering and speak to a manager, they are a chain they have a guide to tell you what’s GF or not!

They have bunless burger options, but a lot of toppings also have gluten and inconsistencies on the allergy menu. Tasty but risky!
