Burger 21

This is one of the few places that I don't feel stressed about eating at. Eaten here several times without issues for burger or fries. Very good food. As long as you let them know the gluten "allergy" aka celiac, is severe they have always done a good job for me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their menu and sauce dispensers are labeled for GF items & their fries are in a dedicated fryer. I ordered the ‘shroom burger which was delicious. They brought it out separate and the basket it was in was labeled GF. The GF bun was fantastic and held together completely. They also have GF milkshake options.

Amazing burgers! The GF bun is really good!

My daughter was so excited that she could simply go to lunch and eat a burger and fries. She also enjoyed a chocolate shake. Awesome experience for a seven year old six months into her celiac journey.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was friendly and understanding. Celiac’s food was prepared and delivered separately. Food was yummy. They forgot the grilled chicken in my salad, but o chose to let that go and lower my calories with this lunch.

I was very impressed with Burger 21. They brought my food out first and it was labeled GF. When the server brought out everyone else's food, she was careful not to reach across me to hand my daughter her gluten filled food. She instead handed it to my husband, who was sitting across from me, to pass to my daughter. I also had a milkshake because they had separate equipment that was clearly labeled GF to make my shake. They were very thorough and seemed to have a really good understanding about how to take seriously someone who is GF.

Celiac friendly?

Wonderful food selection, and the staff is very knowledgeable about the Gluten Free options available. I was able to have fries and sweet potato fries, which I haven't had for years! And the buns on the burgers were superb. I definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone with Celiac!

Celiac friendly?

GF buns are fantastic. They asked if it was an allergy and all food was delivered separately and labeled GF. Highly recommended.

They have a dedicated fryer for fries, they take gluten allergies very serious and I feel confident eating there. They can also make gluten free milkshakes!

Most of the burgers they have can be made gluten free and the buns dont taste bad. They have good restaurant styled fries and delicious milkshakes.

This is an order first establishment with inside and outside seating. They also have a handwashing sink that isnt in the bathroom

We've been ordering from here for about 4 years, and Burger21 has been very consistent in food quality and lack of adverse effects re: Celiac. We've tried a few of the different burgers available in gluten-free (GF), but mostly stick with the Bacon Cheesy on GF bun (good!) and GF fries. Whenever special comments are available on item(s) or the whole order when ordering online, I always note that there's a gluten "allergy" and to please try to avoid cross-contamination when preparing. Recommended. Edit: We do takeout/delivery 99% of the time. We've only dined in once.

Girl with hot pink nails that took order was awesome place is clean food was hot and amazing

I have eaten here twice. The first time I only had a burger on lettuce cups and was fine. The second time I had the same burger on a gf bun with the gf sweet potato fries. About 1 hour later symptoms started to flair. Might be best to steer clear of the fries if you are celiac.

I ordered a GF burger. I loved that I could customize the bread, cheese, meat, and all toppings. They have a dedicated menu so your order is listed with a “GF” before the menu item. The food came in a separate bag. The service was fantastic. Very kind and patient with us. No symptoms after eating there. Delicious food. Not a healthy restaurant but delicious and accommodating

Lots of options. The entire menu is completely customizable. I even could order the meat without seasoning. Not just a great option for gluten free or celiac

The customer service was chock fil a standards. Super nice, helpful and patient. Grateful for them.

Read the mixed reviews here but went to check it out because there were few options otherwise. I walked up and asked who could I talk to about food allergens and they went and got Calvin (Supervisor) I explained that I was celiac and needed “real” gluten free and if it wasn’t then I would pass. I asked them about the fryer and he said they cook chicken tenders in it and thus it is not gluten free. So I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a drink. The burger was good and I had no issues. After my burger came out Calvin came to my table and said he was baking me some fries. He personally brought them out about 10 minutes later. They were good. My wife commented that she thought they were better than her fried fries.

Overall, excellent experience. Just be clear about your needs and ask accordingly and they will take care of you.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

turned into a Korean BBQ place with no gluten free options

Celiac friendly?

No

“Grilled cheese” was a gf bun with two pieces on of American cheese not even melted. What!?

Gluten free buns available. All sauces we labeled. Staff was knowledgeable and made us aware of some risk of CC when cleaning the fryers. I had the Skinny turkey burger and it was delicious.

What an awesome meal! The fries are done in a dedicated fryer. They brought my food out separately from the other meals. Plus, there were gluten free labels on them to differentiate. I would go back in a minute!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great burger, bun and fries! All gf with a dedicated kitchen area. The pistachio mint shake was an added bonus.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Since my diagnosis of CD this has become my burger place of choice. Three visits over the past few months with no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I asked for a gluten free burger. She said, "we don't have gluten free burgers, only gluten free buns." I tried to ask her why, was it cross contamination, or what? It is on their menu. Why would you have a gluten free bun with nothing to put on it? She just kept barking, "we don't have gluten free burgers, only gluten free buns!" So I walked away.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very good place to eat. Menu is very clear what is safe or not. Fries have a dedicated fryer and are SAFE and delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent! Menu very clearly marked with GF options. They have a separate are to prepare and cook GF food. Their GF buns actually held together when eating them! Delicious burgers and fries! They have GF regular and sweet potato fries!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a gluten free bun as promised. Indicated fries weren’t safe so I skipped them. Always appreciate advice from the employees on site. After they took my order they went in back and called out that it needed to be gluten free with a gluten free bun.

Gluten-free buns but they have a shared fryer so the fries aren’t safe

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten here many times, they always ask if the gluten free is for “allergy” reasons and make sure they are very careful. Really good burgers and sauces

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome French fries! Confident staff, separate prep area for gf.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Updating my review bc service is much better lately. We order from here at least once a month. Kids love their burgers with GF buns, delicious fries and yummy milkshakes.

We used to go regularly but service has gone downhill in the past 12-18 months. No issues with the GF food and they do well labeling and making fresh fries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Rather large GF Menu. Menu online. Celiac son...no reaction. Good Burger & Fries. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great experience. Food was good and lots of GF options.

Staff were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and amazing. Cooked all GF stuff in a separate area. One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Sweet potato fries and strawberry milkshake were so good too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated fryer for fries, great GF buns and burgers - items were tested on my Nima Sensor and came back with no gluten found. Menu is clearly marked and noted when order is placed.

The hamburguers taste really good with the gluten free bun and they fry the French fries and sweet potato fries separate to avoid cross contamination. I trust this place. Never been sick afterwards.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated fryer!!!! And separate utensils!!!

Celiac friendly?

We like this location a little more than the Ashburn one. They have more comfortable seating, a Coke Freestyle machine, and a pay car charging station. Usually it is not as crowded as Ashburn. Daughter likes the GF burger and GF fries, and has never gotten sick after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Burgers were delicious! Gf fries and shakes!

Staff knowledgeable and food was marked as gluten free and server said it was upon serving it. Great burgers and dedicated fryer.

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

This store is no longer open. Go somewhere else

They were amazing, helpful and careful!

Celiac friendly?

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!!

My son has a severe wheat allergy and has eaten safely here twice. Dedicated fryer. The gf buns were delicious! Gf french fries are excellent.

Absolutely delicious!!!! Great gf buns and even better they have gf fryers for fries!! I will travel an hour for a good burger and fries, they’re hard to find.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten here many times with no issues. Burgers are delicious and you can never go wrong with gf fries. I always let them know I have a “gluten allergy” and order a gf bun and gf fries. Amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I tried the cheesy burger. It was yummy and had no reaction after eating it.

Celiac friendly?

They seem to be very careful and cautious about the food. I recommend this place.

Best gluten free buns around, fries prepared separately so no cross contamination 🎉👍
