Great burger and fries! Casual restaurant, yet slightly upscale burgers for eat-in, mobile or phone order or take-out. Perfectly cooked, fresh toppings and exactly shaped to fit the gf bun. Bun is soft, warm and tasty -- and it didn't dissolve or fall apart while eating. Cheese sauce for fries was also gf, with just a hint of peppery zing. Everything marked clearly. Definitely somewhere to mark for a return visit!

I had the impossible burger and a side of sweet potato fries. Very tasty, and their 21 sauce is especially delicious. My plate was labelled gluten free.

The food here is amazing, love the burgers and the fries are the best. But what makes this place stand out is it’s gluten free milkshakes. The have several flavors and use a separate mixer to blend it all. Would recommend for sure and the staff is so nice.

My 5 year old was beyond excited to visit a restaurant that advertised on their digital screen that they were gluten friendly. He literally kept talking about it ALL night! The food was great and the staff was friendly and answered all our questions.

First time here, although it is in my neighborhood. Will definitely not be the last. My Burger on GF bun was delicious. The server brought out mine and my partner’s (not GF) separately so as to avoid confusion. Their grill is strictly sectioned for gf burgers and the fries were marked Gluten Free, which they explained were done in the dedicated gf fryer.

All around impressive experience with a very knowledgeable staff that explained the dedicated gf part of the kitchen to prevent cross contamination.

While we are both devoted carnivores, there were also vegetarian options, so there is something for everyone.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Separate fryer... GF buns and options! Great place to eat. Never have had a problem!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very helpful and allergy aware. Feel very safe eating here. We will be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly. They have a dedicated kitchen section and take necessary precautions. Burgers were great and tasty, i liked that they had multiple types of sauces, each marked if they were GF or not. Great family destination. I would recommend the restaurant to put a bit less salt of their fries.

My son and my wife loved the burger and felt really safe. We found the restaurant via Find ne gluten free apps and nice discovery. The food is not only safe but really delicious!

The concept is great for great food fast!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was extremely knowledgeable about gluten free and what constitutes gluten free. I asked if the fries were fried in their own fryer and the server seemed surprised I would even ask. Was told “well they aren’t gluten free if they aren’t in their own fryer”. Yes!! They have a dedicated fryer for all gluten free orders. Order came out with a sticker indicating it to be gluten free. Bun was great! It didn’t fall apart at all. Will definitely be going back!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice gluten free menu. I feel safe eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had an amazing GF burger and fries for lunch! The burger was perfectly cooked and one would never know the bun was GF without the cute sticker on the parchment paper. The amazing shoestring fries - my favorite variety - were absolutely delicious. I was so excited to be able to eat some yummy fries without having to worry about getting sick later on from any cross contamination! Lots of beverage choices, had a cold glass of iced tea, but really want to try a shake next time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Was very impressed with their caution towards cross contamination. Separate fryer and separate milkshake mixer for gf milkshakes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF buns. GF fryer offers awesome sweet potato fries. Specialty condiments all labeled GF or not. Were knowledgeable about gluten in a pecan garnish for one shake flavor (and could omit it to make it GF). And very tasty burgers!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A happy find on our way home from Upstate. Good burger rolls, a separate fryer for fries (delish), and milkshakes. Have come here twice and it’s been great both times.

The staff was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure there was no cross contamination! The owner came over and let us know they use a separate toaster, fryer, etc for gluten free food. On top of that, my food was brought out separately from the rest of our parties food. The OMG burger was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

the staff were very knowledgeable, they have a dedicated fryer for fries. Food was absolutely delicious and completely fixed my craving for a good burger. I couldn't even tell that the bun was gluten free. Also! I got a vanilla milkshake and the person preparing it double checked before putting in cinnamon and sugar (which I omitted from my shake). Will absolutely go back over and over

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good solid burgers. Gluten free buns, fries. Staff is Careful and thoughtful about cross contamination. Good kids menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great find for the gluten free crowd! Dedicated fryer, grill area & toaster with many selections such as grilled chicken sandwiches & juicy burgers. GF rolls are amazing. Sweet potato & regulars fries are the best I have ever had. Shakes are delicious. Very knowledgeable & accommodating. For carb counters (my daughter is celiac with type 1 diabetes) there is extensive nutritional information online.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable and friendly staff, clearly indicated items on the menu, dedicated fryer, good prices, and some seriously delicious burgers. No issues for my celiac wife.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My son and I ate here for the first time last week on the recommendation of another Celiac family we know. The staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. I loved how the girl at the shake station brought my son's shake over and gave us a step-by-step description of her methods. The burger was tasty, and the manager came by and checked in with us to see how everything was. The various GF sauces available are clearly labeled GF. Everything was very clean. No ill effects after eating here. My newly-diagnosed teenage son is SO happy to be able to get a burger and fries out again. We'll be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Was nervous when I got my burger because the bun didn't look or taste gluten free, but it was! Was my favorite place before celiacs and I'm so happy I can continue going with no issues

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is my go to celiac safe burger place in the area. Their gluten free buns are pretty decent and don't crumble in your hands, their fries are good and cooked in a dedicated fryer, and they even have gluten free milkshakes. They take cross contamination into account when cooking and prepping their food, and I have never gotten sick after eating there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

I went here with my mom, dad and sister a few weeks ago and we all loved it. The food was really good, great buns, great fries. I also got a vanilla milkshake and there was a lot of cinnamon in it but it wasn't advertised as that so if you're planning on getting a milkshake just know there's a fair amount of cinnamon in it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love this place. They have never gotten me sick. I get burgers and the sweet potatoes fries and they taste awesome!!

Very impressed by this place they have a separate gluten free menu and gluten free preparation space. A good number of choices on the gluten free menu. The burger and sweet potato fries I had were very tasty. No ill effects from eating there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated gluten free space. Everything came out with a gluten free sticker, too. Have been twice and did not get sick either time.

The food here was delicious. I was so happy to order a hamburger that had a bun, and a bun that tasted like a regular bun at that. The burgers were just the right size (not gigantic like some places), and the milkshakes were made to order from fresh ingredients. Sorey Five Guys, but this is my new go to place when in Albany!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I stopped here on my drive from Buffalo to Boston. After terrible luck with food in WNY, this was a very welcome stop. They have a separate menu with quite a few options. I sat at the milkshake bar, and the woman behind the counter explained that there was a completely separate GF area of the kitchen (or perhaps a separate kitchen all together), and her decision to work there stemmed from the fact that she had gluten sensitivity and other food allergies and felt safe at work. I got a plain burger and sweet potato fries, and they were absolutely delicious! I wish I'd had room to try one of their GF milkshakes, because the options looked wonderful! There are multiple Burger21 locations, but none in cities that I frequent. Come to Boston!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Passing through after a nerve wracking weekend in the countryside of northern NY state. Had such a hard time with GF food up there. Hitting me this place on my way home was stellar.

Very good fast casual burger place. We went yesterday while visiting Albany from NYC. We had read the good reviews on this app and are so glad they we true! Nice place, separate prep area for GF food and they clearly marked our children's GF food and brought it to our table separately. We had no issues afterwards (and our one daughter is extremely sensitive). It was nice to be able to order GF fries and shakes. Their condiments were also clearly labeled as GF (or not). We will be back next time we visit the Albany area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All i can say is WOW!! They are amazing here!! My burger and fries were delicious. Every one here is so friendly and accommodating and they treat celiac seriously. They label your food with a gluten free sticker and bring it to the table separately. I can not wait to go back and try all the burgers. No stress -no worry -just enjoy your food here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really enjoyed our experience here today! I felt they took our allergy very seriously and the food was delicious! The burger was cooked perfectly and the sweet potato fries were so good too! Definitely recommend as they have quite a few things on the menu that are GF.
