No dedicated fryer but they do have gf buns and said they would wipe the area down and change gloves.
Best Burger & Roll in San Diego (so far) Iv had no problems the last two visits!! Staff is great!
Went here specifically because of reviews on this app. They were extremely knowledgeable about my celiac. They have a dedicated dryer but the grease can have cross contamination. I had the fries and had no problem but be aware of that. Amazing GF bun - it did not fall apart. Overall, delicious burger and fries. I totally recommend.

FIVE MILLION STARS!!!!! GF burger AND bun!!!!!!
I asked at the front counter if their fries were in a dedicated fryer and was assured, yes they are. I got a burger in a lettuce wrap and fries and was sick all night. Not safe!!!
One of the best burgers I have ever had! Didn’t get sick and they promised I wouldn’t. No fries though :(
Burger was great! Staff was very friendly and helpful.
I have Celiac Disease and I have not had a hamburger in over 10 years! This was delicious. The management is very kind and helpful. Highly recommend.
the burger and bun were great. It would have been 5 stars if there was a dedicated GF fryer.
Love this place! So glad they opened one on Coronado and I don't have to drive to San Diego anymore. Fries are not truly gf as they are cross fried but I eat a couple and am fine.
Beautiful burgers, and even better, I didn't get sick. Went two times over the course of our trip and loved it both times. The fries are made in the same fryer as the onion rings so I couldn't eat those, but the burger with a gluten free bun was more than enough to fill me up. Great place for the whole family to eat and their sodas are amazing.
This was the best GF turkey burger I've ever had. Don't have the fries if you are celiac because they are cross-contaminated. However, I had the burger with the gf bun and it was filling enough with no side. So delicious!
I read these reviews before going, and I asked about the gluten free bun prep before ordering. They told me that they are prepared in a separate area, so I assumed their procedures had changed. I got serious cross contamination flu like symptoms within a few hours after. Definitely not celiac safe!
Have been to several other Burger Lounge locations where there is clearly a lot of care put into avoidance of cross contamination. This location does not seem to be making this a priority. When asked about if GF buns or other burger components are toasted in a separate area the staff seemed uncertain and told me that they don't have standards that are safe for those with allergies/celiac. I have celiac disease and for me this is too risky.
I asked my usual questions about food prep and was assured I could have a safely prepared gluten free burger. When I got the burger my gluten free bun was toasted. An alarm syarted in my mind, so I asked for the manager. Sure enough, it was was toasted with the standard buns. The manager was apologetic and personally prepared me a new burger with an untoasted bun.
They had Gf buns and my burger was delicious, but a lot of cross contamination took place. Not celiac friendly.
Very expensive and no option for fried, but a great place to take family and eat a burger :)
They have Udi's buns to go on their already gf burgers. The fries are cooked with the onion rings, so there is cross contamination there.
I loved the tuna burger with aioli etc on the gluten free bun (which stayed intact)! I'll order it again next time (I'll be back). Wish the fries didn't have cross-contamination. The iced tea was exceptional as well. Next time I may try the Maine root beer float.
The burger was good. Their GF buns don't fall apart, which is great!
The turkey burger was great. I couldn't believe how fresh the bun was. It didn't taste like a usual GF bun.

The burgers were fresh and made with real ingredients. They were so good!
Very tasty. Good for celiac. Worth explaining to the person what celiac entails
Burger was tasty. I got the California without cheese. Fryer is NOT GF. Had the salad….it was just okay
Great experience! Good GF bun, and they were knowledgeable about cross contamination, etc. Their fries are not battered, but are in the same fryer. Overall, a great experience
Updating my review from 8 years ago. Me and my sister (both celiac) order from here around 10 times per year. We haven’t gotten sick before. The GF burgers come in their own separate little box with a gluten free sticker. We also like their milkshakes - I have dairy issues too and their dairy free milkshake is the only dairy-free ice cream dessert I actually like. The main negative is that their fries are NOT safe.
