Great seasoned bison burger with tasty homemade pickles, tomatoes, onions and cabbage wrap since I got mine in a bowl. They do have GF buns too. Amazing sweet potato fries. All fries are cooked in peanut oil. Lots of GF dipping sauces for fries and lots of different salts for fries.

The night I was there, staff was two young men playing loud all-rock music. It was hard to communicate with them and I quickly became uncomfortable asking for details about the food, especially the many sauce options. Burger was meh, fries were thick, which is not my favorite. This could be someone else's 'go-to' spot, but not for me.

The vegan items cooked in the fryer are gluten free, so the fries are all gluten free.

The fries are in no way gluten free. They fry their Vegan fries with bread crumbs in the same fryer.

Excellent burgers and fries! The bison burger was delicious and well seasoned. They have gf buns, but I opted to just have them put my burger in a bowl with lettuce and the other toppings. Had the po' balls which were good, but I liked the curly fries more. We also shared some of the fried brussel sprouts and we really enjoyed those. There are 6 or 7 different sauces for the french fries which are all labeled with gf and vegan. There are also some different salts which are labeled as well. I tried all the sauces and went back for more garlic aoili and spicy fry sauce!

A person with Celiac should probably stick to the fries...as far as I know the friers are gluten free and only fries are put in them. As for the hamburgers, they are indeed delicious enough to be tempting but the safety and possibility of cross-contamination is highly varied across location and depends on the personality and training of the specific worker that day who helps you. Also I don't go to any of the locations at all anymore because of an extremely unpleasant run-in I had with Massar, the manager of the meridian store and the owner's brother. Ladies beware of that guy.

A person with Celiac should probably stick to the fries bc as far as I know the frier is completely gluten free. As for the burgers, I have eaten there quite a few times with mixed results. Some locations used to have a dedicated gluten-free grill but don't anymore. They sometimes can accommodate by putting aluminum foil down but not always. I also don't eat there at all anymore because of an unpleasant run-in I had with the brother of the owner (he manages the restaurant in Meridian I believe)... Ladies steer clear of that guy for sure.

I was excited to try this place, but the burgers and buns are cooked on the same flat top. The cashier said that they place the burgers in a specific spot, but I am very sensitive to cross contamination so I did not end up eating here.

If you are not sensitive to cross contamination, it could be ok, but I am disappointed that it was not a dedicated prep space.

No problems with getting sick, I got a burger bowl and the duck fat fries. Love all the sauces and that they’re marked. I told the cashier that I had a gluten allergy and asked what the protocol was and she said they clean the grill and change gloves, this is a favorite of mine!

MJ at the counter was very knowledgeable and super helpful about how their food was prepared. I ordered a classic burger and purple fries with out sauce (I put my own sauce from the dispensers on it when I got my order) The buger was excellent and gluten free bun was the best I’ve tasted! Everything was delicious, I will definitely be back when I’m in the area.
